With Hollywood grinding to a halt and cinemas all over the country closing their doors, the desire for distraction is greater than ever.

The good news is, you can still get your movie fix from the comfort of your own couch with these new release movies.

Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (2020)

This remarkable and inspiring documentary premiered at the Sundance Festival and has already generated a lot of awards buzz.

Crip Camp details how a Woodstock-esque camp for disabled teens run by a group of hippies led to the disability rights movement of the 1970s.

With executive producers Barack and Michelle Obama, this rousing doc shows how society’s marginalised joined forces with The Black Panthers and LGBTQIA+ activists to rally for their rights.

True History of the Kelly Gang (2019)

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

Tarantino’s Oscar-winning love-letter to 1970s is a must-see.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt play Rick and Cliff, a washed up actor and his longterm stunt-double looking to reignite their careers.

Set at the time of the Manson murders, this film throws its own twist on Hollywood lore and the end of the hippy era.

Also, shirtless Brad Pitt.
