Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere<\/strong>
Out now
The Bear\u2019s Jeremy Allen White plays the Boss in this buzzed-about Bruce Springsteen biopic focusing on the period when he was making his 1982 album Nebraska (so, post-Born to Run but pre-Born in the USA), with Jeremy Strong playing critic turned producer Jon Landau.<\/p>\n

The Mastermind<\/strong>
Out now
Kelly Reichardt returns with an art heist movie inspired by a real robbery in 1970s Massachusetts, in which two Gauguins, a Picasso and a Rembrandt were nicked. Here, it\u2019s Arthur Dove paintings that catch the eye of Josh O\u2019Connor\u2019s art thief James Blaine Mooney.<\/p>\n

ParaNorman<\/strong>
Out now
An odd dearth of family films has left a gap in the market into which this rerelease of 2012\u2019s animated adventure ParaNorman has decided to slip. Norman Babcock (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is the misfit 11-year-old who speaks with the dead, enabling a spooky adventure to unfold in time for Halloween.<\/p>\n

Regretting You<\/strong>
Out now
Josh Boone is best known for directing the adaptation of the romantic novel The Fault in Our Stars, and he\u2019s back to similar territory here with another romance novel adaptation, this time about a mother (Allison Williams) and daughter (McKenna Grace) forging new romantic connections in the wake of a traumatic event. Catherine Bray<\/p>\n

Samia<\/strong>
26 to 28 October; tour starts Glasgow
Currently enjoying a viral moment thanks to TikTok getting hold of 2022\u2019s atmospheric downer Pool, New York-based singer-songwriter Samia arrives in the UK for a short tour. Expect a big reaction when that song appears, but there\u2019s much to enjoy across her three albums of fragile indie rock. Michael Cragg<\/p>\n

Freak Queer Rave<\/strong>
New Century, Manchester, 25 October
Berlin-based dance provocateur Lsdxoxo \u2013 whose recent DGTL ANML mixtape featured the likes of Shygirl and Boys Noize \u2013 brings his unashamedly queer blend of ghetto house, techno and pop to Manchester for this all-nighter. Sam Quealy and Surusinghe add to the night\u2019s free-spirited celebration. MC<\/p>\n

The Railway Children<\/strong>
Glyndebourne Opera House, Lewes, 30 October & 1 November (two perfs)
One might have thought Mark-Anthony Turnage had all the awards for new opera this year safely tied up with the premiere of his superb Festen at Covent Garden last February. Embarking upon another adaptation, Turnage and his librettist Rachel Hewer take E Nesbit\u2019s children\u2019s novel as their starting point. Andrew Clements<\/p>\n

The Necks<\/strong>
London, 26 October; Bristol, 27 October; Birmingham, 28 October
The Australian improv trio formed in 1987, originally to apply avant-jazz methods to the minimalism of Terry Riley and Steve Reich. Decades later, all their gigs still sound fresh and different. Pianist-organist Chris Abrahams, bassist Lloyd Swanton and drummer Tony Buck reassemble for three UK dates. John Fordham<\/p>\n

Going out: Art<\/strong>Double whammy \u2026 The Singh Twins. Photograph: Christopher Doyle<\/p>\n

The Singh Twins and Flora Indica<\/strong>
Kew Gardens, London, to 12 April
Kew\u2019s botanical wonderland grew alongside the British empire. You can feel the echoes of global history everywhere here from its Pagoda to Palm House. The Singh Twins explore the colonial dimension of plant-collecting alongside a show of Indian botanical art commissioned by British plant fanciers from 1790 to 1850.<\/p>\n

Turner: Always Contemporary<\/strong>
Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 25 October to 22 February
<\/strong>Some quite surprising artists measure themselves up against JMW Turner in what may be the most provocative exhibition of his 250th anniversary year. Who knew Jeff Koons was a fan of the great romantic painter? Claude Monet, Maggi Hambling and more also star in a survey of Turner\u2019s continuing influence.<\/p>\n

Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun<\/strong>
Charleston, East Sussex, to 12 April
These hard-living gay painters who met at Glasgow School of Art in 1933 haunt the history of modern British art. For friends such as Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon they were models of artistic bohemianism and avant garde adventure \u2013 if not financial success. How does their work hold up today?<\/p>\n

El Anatsui<\/strong>
October Gallery and Goodman Gallery, London, to 29 November
The great Ghanaian artist returns to London with more of his magical creations. El Anatsui is a conjurer of materials who can turn bottle tops and product labels into glistening veils of beauty. Here, in a show of new works across two venues, he makes intricate modernist surfaces from wood. Jonathan Jones<\/p>\n

Going out: Stage<\/strong>All bark \u2026 Ross Noble. Photograph: Kitti Gould<\/p>\n

Ross Noble<\/strong>
On tour to 22 March
One of the pre-eminent figures in the 00s standup boom (nine DVD releases in nine years), Noble\u2019s surreal comedy is still going strong. Witness the Newcastle native\u2019s inimitable improvisational jams in new tour show Cranium of Curiosities. Rachel Aroesti<\/p>\n

Little Brother<\/strong>
Soho theatre, London, to 22 November
Eoin McAndrew\u2019s new play won the Verity Bargate award, which does such a brilliant job of unearthing meaty new work. It\u2019s a dark comedy set in Belfast and is about the dangerously destructive relationship between two siblings. Miriam Gillinson<\/p>\n

An Oak Tree<\/strong>
Brighton Dome, 30 October to 1 November
Rory Kinnear takes a turn in Tim Crouch\u2019s elusive but electrifying play. Kinnear will join Crouch on stage, having never read the play, and bring to life a story about grief, loss, magic and transformation. MG<\/p>\n

The Nutcracker<\/strong>
The Radlett Centre, Radlett, 28 October; The Stag, Sevenoaks, 31 October; then touring <\/strong>to 20 December
Like Creme Eggs appearing in shops in January, it feels too early for Nutcracker season. The first of the year comes from New English Ballet Theatre<\/a>, a ompany of young dancers in a new production by the Royal Ballet\u2019s Valentino Zucchetti. Lyndsey Winship<\/p>\n

IT: Welcome to Derry<\/strong>
Sky Atlantic & Now, 27 October, 9pm
Not another trip to 1990s Northern Ireland, but a sojourn to 1960s Maine, where the evil clown Pennywise is hunting for local children. Director Andy Muschietti helms this prequel to his hit 2017 film adaptation of the Stephen King novel; Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd reprises his role as the iconically nightmarish antagonist.<\/p>\n

Down Cemetery Road<\/strong>
Apple TV+, 29 October
Before Slow Horses, Slough House and the incomparably flatulent Jackson Lamb, Mick Herron penned a book series about Oxford-based private detective Zo\u00eb Boehm. This adaptation of the first tale \u2013 involving an explosion and a missing child \u2013 boasts a leather-jacketed, estuary-accented Emma Thompson in the title role. Ruth Wilson and Adeel Akhtar co-star.<\/p>\n

Once Upon a Time in Space
<\/strong>BBC Two & iPlayer, 27 October, 9pm
The previous two instalments in director James Bluemel\u2019s mesmerisingly evocative documentary about complex geopolitics focused on the Iraq war and the Troubles. Now he\u2019s using the same immersive techniques to tell a markedly different kind of story about the past and future of humankind\u2019s movements in space.<\/p>\n

Daisy May and Charlie Cooper\u2019s Nightwatch<\/strong>
BBC Two & iPlayer, 26 October, 9.30pm
It\u2019s not just comedy that unites the sibling co-creators of This Country, Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, both have a penchant for the paranormal. Now the pair have reunited for a series of sleepovers in Britain\u2019s spookiest buildings, during which they\u2019ll bicker, banter and lie in wait for a supernatural encounter. RA<\/p>\n

Staying in: Games<\/strong>Space cowboys \u2026 The Outer Worlds 2. Photograph: Digital Eclipse<\/p>\n

PS5, Xbox, PC; out 29 October

Mortal Kombat: Legacy <\/strong>K<\/strong>ollection<\/strong>
PS4, PS5, Xbox, Switch, Switch 2, PC; out 30 October
After exploring the history of Tetris, Atari and Jeff Minter, Digital Eclipse gives Mortal Kombat the interactive doc treatment, with playable versions of the fighting franchise\u2019s early iterations \u2013 including added multiplayer support \u2013 and behind-the-scenes interviews. Matthew Reynolds<\/p>\n

Staying in: Albums<\/strong>Harping on \u2026 Dave. Photograph: Andrew Timms<\/p>\n

Dave \u2013 The Boy Who Played the Harp<\/strong>
Out now
Four years after his last album, We\u2019re All Alone in This Together, Brit award-winning rapper Dave returns with his highly anticipated third LP. Appetites have been whetted further given he\u2019s been basically silent since Sprinter, his UK No 1 collaboration with Central Cee, dominated summer 2023.<\/p>\n

Sigrid \u2013 There\u2019s Always More That I Could Say<\/strong>
Out now
Featuring singles that touch on endearing social awkwardness (Jellyfish), broken relationships (Two Years) and the resultant emotional shutdown (Fort Knox), the third album by Norwegian pop star Sigrid is loaded with skyscraping bops anchored by freewheeling catharsis.<\/p>\n

Halle \u2013 Love? Or Something Like It<\/strong>
Out now
Having released two excellent albums alongside her sister Chloe, Halle Bailey, AKA Ariel in 2023\u2019s The Little Mermaid, steps out alone on this solo debut. Co-written by Raye, single Braveface channels Halle\u2019s much-publicised recent relationship breakdown and showcases her extraordinary R&B voice.<\/p>\n

Brandi Carlile \u2013 Returning to Myself<\/strong>
Out now
Sixth months after her UK No 1 album with Elton John, the US singer-songwriter releases her eighth solo record. Co-produced alongside Andrew Watt and Aaron Dessner, with help from Justin Vernon, its 10 tracks focus on the importance of standing strong and the comfort of being held up by others. MC<\/p>\n

Staying in: <\/strong>Brain food<\/strong>Bush fire \u2026 The White House Effect. Photograph: Netflix<\/p>\n

The White House Effect<\/a><\/strong>
<\/a>Netflix, 31 October
Using only archival footage, this often shocking film recounts how George HW Bush\u2019s administration made several key decisions in the early 90s that have since shaped the way we respond to the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Low Culture<\/a><\/strong>
Podcast
Culture website the Quietus\u2019s subscriber podcast takes a monthly deep dive into a work of art they deem essential. Editors John Doran and Luke Turner bring their insights to everything from Alice Coltrane\u2019s spiritual jazz to Octavia Butler\u2019s writing.<\/p>\n

Composer Stephen Malinowski\u2019s Music Animation Machine is a delightfully interesting program that visualises classical scores in 3D motion.
