This weekend’s line-up carries us through a journey of madness, courage and redemption. From betrayal to psychological games, each film reveals what happens when people are pushed to the edge and how to find peace again.
House of David (Season 2) – Netflix
If you thought Season 1 ended on high suspense, Season 2 turns everything inside out. The power struggles get worse, the betrayals hurt more, and the story goes even deeper into the politics and people behind David’s reign, where every win feels like a loss.
It’s amazing how the film doesn’t just tell us a biblical story; it reimagines it by mixing faith, drama, and emotional depth to make old scripture feel real and personal. When the powerful King Saul gives in to pride and madness, God’s favour goes to an unlikely successor, a humble shepherd boy named David. What follows is an exploration of destiny, love, and the heavy cost of greatness.
The woman in cabin 10 – Netflix
A luxury cruise, a missing passenger and a journalist who can’t trust what she saw or what she didn’t. Based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling novel, The Woman in Cabin 10 pulls you into a world where truth drowns quietly beneath luxury and lies. A journalist on assignment aboard an exclusive cruise witnesses a woman being thrown overboard, but when everyone insists all passengers are accounted for, she’s left questioning her own sanity.
Maintenance required – Prime video
A quiet gem about midlife, regret, and second chances. The film follows Charlie, a determined mechanic trying to keep her all-female auto shop and her life from falling apart. Late at night, she finds solace in chatting with an online confidant, unaware that he’s actually Beau, her real-life business rival threatening to take her down. As their connection deepens both online and off, secrets surface and pride collides with vulnerability.
Beast of War – Apple TV+
War movies rarely feel this personal, Beast of War drops you into the chaos of World War II, where a young troop of Australian soldiers finds themselves stranded in the middle of the Timor Sea after their boat is sunk.
With their lifeboat shrinking and hope fading, they must battle exhaustion, enemy attacks and a relentless great white shark circling beneath. It’s not just staying alive; it’s watching courage decay into desperation and men stripped down to their most human fears, impossible to forget.
Swim to me – Netflix
Set in the still, blue melancholy of coastal Chile, Swim to Me tells of a lonely young girl, Julia, and Estela, the nanny who becomes her emotional anchor. The film wants to explore class and connection, showing how affection can both bridge and expose social divides. It’s tender in moments, especially in the quiet scenes between the child and caretaker. The story lingers in that uneasy space where love and responsibility is a reminder that every story about nannies is but a story about parental neglect.
