An “entirely bonkers” horror comedy with a “superb” cast gets new UK streaming home

by

An out-there comedy with some big names in its cast has found a new UK streaming home.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated film “Rumours,” which made its debut at Cannes in 2024 and has been accessible for digital purchase and rental for some time, is now available for streaming on Sky or NOW platforms starting today!

The story unfolds around a gathering of global leaders at the G7 Summit, where an unusual combination of thick fog and bizarre occurrences takes place. The narrative style fluctuates among humor, apocalyptic terror, and melodramatic romance, as indicated by Rotten Tomatoes.

The movie features Cate Blanchett (from “The Lord of the Rings”), Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”), and Alicia Vikander (“Tomb Raider”) as its main actors.

At the aggregated review platform, the movie “Rumours” boasts a critical rating of 76%, based on 125 reviews. Both the acting performances and the diverse range of tones in the film have earned positive remarks.

1) HeyUGuys found Rumours to be a hilarious political satire with spot-on performances and well-timed humor from an exceptional cast.
The Sun, on the other hand, stated that Rumours is definitely worth watching for the chance to see Cate Blanchett, who portrays Hilda Ortmann, deliver what appears to be an impression of former German chancellor Angela Merkel.

According to “The Contending,” the movie is both puzzling due to its initial pace and confusing rumors, yet it’s also captivating, especially during the last hour which overflows with enough apocalyptic chaos to keep viewers absorbed, perplexed, and invested.

The New York Times described it as “occasionally brilliant, intermittently chilling and utterly bizarre…”, while Rolling Stone labeled the movie as “an experience designed to puzzle and amuse you at the same time, offering seven helpings of absurdity, seasoned with a touch of wit from a team who are in control, even when it’s unclear what exactly they’re up to.

In short, this is one you’ll want to give your attention to, rather than have on in the background.

Rumours is available now on Sky/NOW.

The latest print edition from Digital Spy, titled “Oasis – Live in ’25”, is now available! You can purchase it at your local newsstands or online for only £8.99.
