Looking for something new to watch on Amazon Prime this Christmas? Here’s our guide to the best shows and films arriving over the winter season:

Tenet, 15 December (to rent or buy)



Christopher Nolan’s time-bending venture – which revolves around the concept of bullets fired backwards in time – may have failed to reverse the decline of the cinema industry when it opened in theatres earlier this year. But now the would-be blockbuster gets a second chance to deliver on the hype when it arrives on Amazon Prime, as a rental offering, just in time for Christmas. Will the head-scratching plot make any more sense after a few helpings of seasonal mulled wine? You never know.


Uncle Frank


Johnny Depp’s best friend Paul Bettany delivers a stand-out performance in this slightly twee coming-of-age film about a precocious teenager who becomes enchanted by her urbane, semi-closeted college professor uncle.
