Lee
Academy Award winner Kate Winslet stars in this biographical war drama based on the biography, The Lives of Lee Miller. The movie uncovers the life of photojournalist Miller during World War ll.

Joker: Folie à Deux
Joaquin Phoenix returns for a musical sequel to Joker, and the talented Lady Gaga joins him. The movie explores the crazy and toxic romance between Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Harley Quinn after they meet at Arkham State Hospital. The movie beautifully retells the love story of the infamous lovebirds through a musical and visual masterpiece. We admit that Gaga has us going gaga over her mesmerising voice, and Phoenix’s embodiment of the Joker is pure magic.

Fun fact: Folie à deux is a French term meaning "madness of two”, which reflects the relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn.
