This cozy historical drama takes its inspiration from a real-life archeological dig in the English countryside in 1939. Carey Mulligan stars as a wealthy widow who contracts a suave local excavator, played by Ralph Fiennes, to unearth burial mounds on her property. There they find a Viking ship and treasure from the Dark Ages, but have to race to complete the dig before the onset of World War II. January 29

January 15
One of the biggest hits from this year’s mostly virtual TIFF, this drama stars Vanessa Kirby (hi, Princess Margaret!) as a soon-to-be mother whose home birth goes awry at the hands of an inept midwife. The film follows the mother’s journey as she processes her grief, navigates scorched family relationships and prepares to face the midwife in court. January 7
Anyone seeking creepy Parasite vibes will appreciate this crime thriller about class warfare, based on the Booker prize-winning novel by Arvind Adiga. The main character is the driver for a wealthy New Delhi family, played by Adarsh Gourav. When the boss’s wife (Priyanka Chopra) kills a young pedestrian, he’s forced to take the blame—and, in true Parasite fashion, seek revenge. January 22
Naomi Watts stars in this picturesque drama set on the northern Australian coast, about the real-life surfer Sam Bloom who was paralyzed from the chest down in a freak accident while on vacation with her family.
