Tīpene: A Legacy Reborn (MĀORI+, March 23)
From Kimiora Kaire-Melbourne, the director of the award-winning Homesteads, comes Tīpene: A Legacy Reborn, a documentary that traces the reopening of Tīpene, one of Aotearoa’s oldest most influential educational institutions. Open from 1844 until 2000, the prestigious school left a legacy like no other, with its alumni including Sir Selwyn Parata, Waihoroi Shortland and the late Joseph Harawira QSM and Kiingi Tūheitia. Going behind the scenes to see if the institution can rise “from the ashes of its negative press and continue to address the longstanding crisis in the education of Māori boys,” Tīpene: A Legacy Reborn reflects on idea of “continuity, challenge and renewal.”
Bait (Prime Video, March 25)
The race to crown the next 007 is on with Jacob Elordi, Callum Turner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Henry Cavill all rumoured to be front runners. Parodying the intense media storm that surrounds the casting of the iconic role, Oscar-winner Riz Ahmed stars as Shah Latif in Bait, “a spiky, disorienting satire of the entertainment industry.” Shah, a struggling actor whose life begins to spiral out of control after he’s seen leaving an audition for the role of James Bond, must reckon with the entire world weighing in on whether or not he should be the heir to Craig’s crown. Earmarked as one of 2026’s must-watch TV shows, be sure to check out the brilliant Bait.
Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (Netflix, March 26)
An adaptation of Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole novels, this Oslo-set series stars Tobias Santelmann as a typically troubled police detective who must solve a series of repulsive, ritualistic murders. Accompanied by his corrupt colleague Tom Waaler, played by Joel Kinnaman, the two face-off as Hole embarks on a game of cat-and-mouse with the John Doe killer. Billed as a “truly dark and twisted journey” by Nesbø, who serves as the crime drama’s showrunner, Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is one for lovers of Nordic noir.
Resurrection (AroVision, March 25)
Taking home the Prix Spécial at Cannes, Bi Gan’s Resurrection is an otherworldly epic that has to be seen to be believed. Set in a bleak future where humanity has forsaken dreams for immortality, the phantasmagoric film follows Chinese pop star and actor Jackson Yee as a dying monster. Across five dazzling and disparate dreams, the monster known as a Deliriant embarks on a shape-shifting odyssey across the history of cinema. Described as “a soul-stirring feat that will inspire generations to come,” Resurrection’s artistry and ambition is bound to blow your socks off.
Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen (Netflix, March 26)
Executive produced by The Duffer Brothers, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen stars Camila Morrone as Rachel Harkin and Adam DiMarco as Nicky Cunningham, a head-over-heels soon-to-be married couple. The two may be living on a bed of roses, but their decision to host a small ceremony at the husband-to-be’s family cabin in the woods leads to an ominous outcome. Described by the show’s creator Haley Z. Boston as a blend of “Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby”, you’ll love Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen if you enjoy being scared stiff.
Pick of the Flicks: Small Things Like These (Neon, March 24)
Having helmed the third season of Peaky Blinders, the critically-acclaimed historical drama Small Things Like These reunites director Tim Mielants with Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy. The adaption of Claire Keegan’s novel of the same name follows Murphy as Bill, a hard-working coal merchant who bears witness to the horrors of Ireland’s Magdalene laundries. Labelled as “a haunting and meditative work,” the husband and father of five girls must “confront his own difficult childhood memories and the religious bedrock of this tight knit community.” With shades of Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu’s We Were Dangerous, this tender tale of hope and quiet heroism is sure to reduce you to tears.
