Rhianna Dhillon's Fresh Starts

Critic and broadcaster Rhianna Dhillon selects her pick of the films that will help you make a change for 2026.

It's a new year, so perhaps it's a new you? BFI Player's new featured critic - the award-winning broadcaster Rhianna Dhillon - selects her pick of the films that will help you make a change for 2026.

Rhianna's selection includes stories - from all over the world - of people breaking habits, discovering interests and starting things anew. From life-affirming work by Jim Jarmusch (Paterson) and Akira Kurosawa (Ikiru) to the desire for day-to-day discipline in films by Harris Dickinson (Urchin) and Nora Fingscheidt (The Outrun), Rhianna's collection contains all the inspiration you need to make your fresh start.
