Matt Smith | The Movie My Life

Caught Stealing (2025), Austin Butler, Sony Pictures Entertainment

Caught Stealing is the latest Darren Aronofsky film starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Liev Schreiber and Bad Bunny.

The crime/comedy/thriller has Butler as a young man suddenly embroiled in a struggle to survive in 1990s New York City.

I like how unexpected this is as an Aronofsky film. The reasonably fast pace also appeals, and I can’t deny that something about this reminds me of my favourite of Guy Ritchie’s movies, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000), of course

Are you inclined to make time for Caught Stealing?

Regina King, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Griffin Dunne, Yuri Kolokolnikov, Gregg Bello, McKinzie J. Scott, Bianca Ghezzi, Nikita Kukushkin and Action Bronson also star.

Caught Stealing Release Dates: August 29th, 2025 (US & UK)…

Last Night in Soho (2021), Anya Taylor-Joy, Focus Features

Directed by Edgar Wright of Baby Driver (2017); Last Night in Soho is a new drama/horror/mystery that stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin McKenzie and Jessie Mei Li. It’s the story of a young girl (McKenzie), passionate about fashion design, who finds herself mysteriously able to enter the 1960s.

While there, she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer (Taylor-Joy). Only 1960s London isn’t quite what it seems.

The part-horror categorisation makes me nervous but I remain curious. Who knew that Taylor-Joy had such a beautiful singing voice? No t me.

Here’s to hoping that there are more pleasant surprises to look forward to.

Diana Rigg, Matt Smith, Rita Tushingham, Terence Stamp, Margaret Nolan, Lisa McGrillis, James Phelps, Synnove Karlsen, Oliver Phelps, Katrina Vasilieva, Michael Jibson and Kassius Nelson also star.

Last Night in Soho Release Dates: October 22nd, 2021 (US); October 29th, 2021 (UK)…
