‘The Woman in Cabin 10’ (2025)
Aboard a lavish cruiser, Lo (Keira Knightley), an investigative journalist, is there on assignment when she witnesses a passenger being pushed overboard. However, when the woman’s room is investigated, it appears spotless and untouched — as if no one had ever been inside it. All crew and passengers have been accounted for, and there’s no record of the woman Lo saw. Potentially putting her life at risk, Lo commits herself to finding the truth behind the crime she swears she saw, and its ensuing cover-up.
Fans of pulpy crime thrillers will have a field day with The Woman in Cabin 10, and with a lead performance from Knightley, you know you’re in good hands. The narrative boasts a snappy, suspenseful mystery that will keep you hooked and a killer supporting cast that includes Guy Pearce and Hannah Waddingham.

‘Boots’ Season 1
Closeted teenager Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer) endured relentless bullying in high school and lives with his deeply religious parents, so he sets off to join the Marine Corps with his straight best friend. This was a dangerous move in the 1990s, as being gay in the military was illegal and could result in jail time or worse. However, Cameron keeps his secret and weathers the first week of boot camp as he plunges into a radical coming-of-age transformation.
Boots is based on the memoir The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White, but has a bit of a personal angle for series creator Andy Parker as well. The series will make you cry and laugh in equal measure in its empathetic exploration of gay masculinity, and in watching Cameron’s emotional, physical and mental journey towards radical self-acceptance.

That’s why it’s Watch With Us‘ top pick among Netflix’s most popular movies, and one of the three films […]
The Bikeriders is based on the photo book of the same name by photographer Danny Lyon (played by Mike Faist in the film), and the film depicts Lyon traveling around with the Vandals, interviewing them and creating a photo portrait of their lives. The moving drama film bears a rough authenticity from director Jeff Nichols and powerhouse emotional performances from the cast. It’s a surprisingly emotional look at masculinity and biker culture that will hit you where it hurts.
