Kid Snow was recently nominated for an Aacta Award (Australia’s equivalent to the Oscars) for Best Actress for his co-star, Phoebe Tonkin (The Originals), and hits US theaters on February 14th following its premiere at the Sydney Film Festival. Set in a 1970s sweat-drenched world of tent boxing in outback Western Australia, Kid Snow is a film about breaking free from the cycle of loss and regret.

Howle, known for his performances in On Chesil Beach and last year’s hit Netflix series The Perfect Couple, talks to us about stepping outside his comfort zone for his new role, which sees him become a tent boxing fighter in the film. He talks about the training for the film,...

"You're screwin' it all up! You have to get your head in the game." Samuel Goldwyn Films has revealed an official US trailer for an indie sports drama from Australia titled Kid Snow, which is the same name of the boxer in the film. This originally premiered at the 2024 Sydney Film Festival last year and will be released in the US this February. A washed-up Irish boxer named Kid Snow is faced with a chance to redeem himself when he is offered a rematch against the man he fought a decade prior - a chance to turn the page on the tragedy that changed his life.

Netflix's The Perfect Couple cast is jam-packed with A-list actors who help shape the Nantucket-based murder mystery. The miniseries is an onscreen adaptation of the eponymous book by New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand. The Perfect Couple centers on the wedding of Amelia Sachs and Benji Winbury at the Winbury estate in Nantucket. The night before the event, a murder occurs, raising suspicions about the entire Winbury family.

Murder mystery shows often focus on rich and privileged characters with morally questionable personalities. It is all the more riveting when these shows include an all-star cast. That is certainly the case with The Perfect Couple. Even the actors who don't have name recognition have dozens of credits under their belt, except for a few younger actors. The impressive cast in The Perfect Couple helps create a story filled with morally dubious characters pursuing their own self-interests at any cost.

A rough boxing drama comes to life in the dusty, sun-baked Western Australia of the 1970s. It’s more than just another story about punches and forgiveness. “Kid Snow” is a one-of-a-kind piece of Australian film. It brings the world of traveling tent boxing shows back to life with raw realism and gripping human drama.

Paul Goldman, known for movies with complex plots like “Suburban Mayhem,” directed the movie. It is about an Irish boxer named Kid Snow, played by Billy Howle. Stories about family, survival, and the never-ending search for second chances are told against the background of a moving carnival.

The story of Goldman’s return to making movies after 18 years is a story of resilience, just like the movie’s ideas. Kid Snow is a thoughtful look at broken people trying to get away from their past, set in the rough-and-tumble world of bush entertainment.

As of right now, there is no official word about a second season of The Perfect Couple.

The series came in second place among TV at the streamer, only beat out by Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, when it launched in September, via Deadline.

It even beat Season 4B of Emily in Paris, accumulating more than 20M views in its debut weekend.

Nicole Kidman may first and foremost be known as a movie star, but she also has an ever-growing television resume that includes “Hemingway & Gellhorn,” “The Undoing,” “Nine Perfect Strangers” and “Big Little Lies,” all of which received nominations at various awards shows. Her next TV project is the juicy Netflix hit “The Perfect Couple,” in which she plays romance author Greer Garrison Winbury, the mother of the groom during a wedding weekend that becomes ground zero for murder.

According to Gold Derby’s Golden Globe predictions, Kidman is in the Top 5 to receive a nomination for Best Limited/Movie Actress. That would be the Australian actress’ 16th career acting bid at the Globes (combining TV and film). And she could even earn nom #17 this year if she gets in for “Babygirl” on the movie side in the Best Drama Actress category.

Exclusive: Billy Howle is so at home playing characters wading through pools of anger and angst that he had an “alien feeling” while playing idle rich boy Benji Winbury in Netflix hit The Perfect Couple.

The British actor, almost as a counterpoint to the Nantucket frippery on display in the adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s chart-topping beach read, can now be found on the stage of the prestigious Almeida Theatre in Islington, North London. There he opens tonight, taking on the theatre’s original angry young man, Jimmy Porter, a mammoth career-defining role, in a revival of John Osborne’s 1956 classic Look Back in Anger, which takes place in a dreary attic apartment where Jimmy rails at a society that has become “sick.”

“There’s all this talk about mental health,” says Howle, “and let’s face it, the guy has anger issues. It’s in the title of the play.

Saoirse Ronan is surely on her way to becoming one of the best performers of the 21st century. With four—yes, count them, four —Oscar nominations under her belt by the age of 30, she’s left even the most seasoned actors turning green with envy. Since her breakthrough role in 2007’s Atonement, she has shown an uncanny ability to slip into characters like a chameleon on a red carpet, working with acclaimed directors like Greta Gerwig, Wes Anderson, and Joe Wright.

First up, we have See How They Run, where Saoirse Ronan shares the screen...

Netflix's The Perfect Couple proved to be a surprisingly fun murder mystery show with a star-studded cast, and these 10 actors delivered the best performances. The Perfect Couple's cast and characters included some very big names, among them actresses Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning. Even beyond these Hollywood heavy-hitters, though, it was the complete ensemble cast of The Perfect Couple that made this somewhat quirky whodunit work.

The Perfect Couple was based on a book of the same name, written by Elin Hilderbrand, and although there were differences between the show and the book, the basic framework remained the same. The wealthy Winbury family, comprising father Tag, mother Greer, three sons, and daughter-in-law Abby meet in Nantucket for Benji's wedding to his fiance Amelia. The morning of the wedding, that plan goes sideways when Amelia's best friend Merritt is found dead. The true killer isn't revealed until the finale,...

More adaptations of Elin Hildebrand’s addictive beach reads are seemingly on their way, which spells good news for fans of the delectable six-episode Netflix adaptation of her murder mystery The Perfect Couple.

Since landing on Netflix on September 5, The Perfect Couple has exceeded expectations, not only racking up sizable viewership on the streamer but also going viral on social media for its wacky, tonally different opening credit dance sequence.

The series tallied 10.4M views in its second full week on the streamer from September 16 to 22, coming in second place among TV, bested only by Ryan Murphy’s true crime drama Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which launched last Wednesday. It even beat Season 4B of Emily in Paris, which had its first full week of availability. That’s after it easily stole the top spot on the last two lists, accumulating more than 20M views in its debut weekend.

In a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show with Julia Cunningham, Schreiber, 56, shared insights about his experience working with Kidman, 57.

“I got things from Nicole Kidman that I had no idea existed,” Schreiber confessed. He described Kidman as someone who “really exudes grace and elegance and authority and all these things.”

The Perfect Couple showrunner Jenna Lamia explains the show's surprise murderer reveal and its deviation from Elin Hilderbrands novel. Released on Netflix earlier this month, the murder mystery series chronicles the lavish wedding between Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson) and Benji Winbury (Billy Howle), and how it falls apart when the maid of honor, Merritt Monaco (Meghann Fahy), washes up dead on the beach. Also starring Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber, The Perfect Couple ends with the surprise reveal that Abby Winbury (Dakota Fanning) intentionally killed Merritt, a deviation from the novel in which she does it accidentally.

In a recent interview with IndieWire, Lamia goes deep on The Perfect Couple's ending, explaining why they made Abby's killing of Merritt intentional instead of the result of an accident. According to the showrunner, the change in medium from book to television necessitated the change,...

The Perfect Couple is officially the biggest show in the world right now! The new Netflix series based on Elin Hilderbrand’s book of the same name premiered on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024.

In the week that the series has been on Netflix, it’s been the No. 1 show on the Netflix Top 10. It’s well on its way to becoming a massive hit. With a cast including Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning, Eve Hewson, Meghann Fahy, Billy Howle, Jack Reynor, and more how could it not be?

There are only six episodes in The Perfect Couple, though. Fans all over the world are binge-watching the series. Now, everyone needs something else to watch.

Let’s get the list of shows like The Perfect Couple started with The White Lotus!

Based on the book by best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand, ‘The Perfect Couple’ hit Netflix’s homepage this week to mixed responses from audiences and critics. It’s a beautiful production with a glitzy cast, a murder mystery set at an old money mansion in the hands of a new(er) money family where an unprepared woman is marrying into a secretive, cultish, filthy-rich family, but it starts a bit sluggishly. It feels like something we’ve seen before, until it morphs into a different beast part-way through the series. While the slow start and misdirection work against the first couple of episodes, ‘The Perfect Couple’ is well-worth a watch for the murder mystery lovers out there who are down to play along and guess who the killer is (and the body for most of the first episode), as well as anyone who loves a good performance from an incredible ensemble,...

Indian actor Ishaan Khatter is turning heads in his second major English-language role, rubbing shoulders with Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber in Netflix’s chart-topping thriller “The Perfect Couple.” As Shooter Dival, the outsider in a nest of Nantucket’s elite, Khatter brings a fresh face to the murder mystery that’s captivating global audiences.

“The Perfect Couple,” adapted from Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling book, centers on Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), a bride set to join Nantucket’s elite. Nicole Kidman stars as Greer Garrison Winbury, the groom’s mother and a renowned author, who orchestrates an opulent wedding. The festivities take a dark turn when a corpse surfaces on the beach, transforming the lavish affair into a hotbed of suspicion. As the investigation unfolds, hidden truths emerge, mirroring the plot twists of Winbury’s own literary works.

Khatter plays Dival, the best man and a boarding school friend of the groom,...

Following the premiere on September 5, Netflix’s The Perfect Couple was all anyone could talk about. What started out as praise for the Nicole Kidman-led whodunit quickly turned to hate as fans blasted the series’ six-episode ending.

The Perfect Couple Ends With A Controversial Shocking Twist

Warning! Major Spoilers Ahead!

The Perfect Couple is the story of the Winbury family, who are rich, “kill someone and get away with it rich,” to be exact.

Nicole stars as Greer Garrison Winbury and Liev Schreiber is her husband, Tag Winbury.

The story centers around their son, Benji Winbury’s (Billy Howle), wedding to Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson).

As the rehearsal dinner occurs, secrets come to light, including affairs and money troubles, leading to a murder where everyone involved is a suspect.

Based on a book by Elin Hilderbrand, multiple changes were made to the original story, including that controversial ending.

The possibility of The Perfect Couple season 2 gets a candid response from the showrunner. Based on Erin Hilderbrand's 2018 novel, The Perfect Couple is a blend of different tones, largely a murder mystery about a lavish wedding that gets interrupted when a dead body turns up on the day of the ceremony. But it's also a comedy about a rich family with a fair amount of secrets, with a game Perfect Couple cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, Billy Howle, Meghann Fahy, Donna Lynne Champlin, Jack Reynor, and Mia Issac.

In an interview with Town & Country, showrunner Jenna Lamia addressed whether the murder mystery could return, saying that it would depend on several factors such as whether the cast would be open to reuniting. Laima's full quote is below:

Tent boxing is an interesting subject for a movie: a now-defunct Australian recreation positioned on the Venn diagram overlay between sports event and circus act, involving troupes of fighters performing low-rent spectacles for outback audiences.

It’s at the centre of director Paul Goldman’s 70s-set drama Kid Snow, whose scruffy titular character – played by Billy Howle – is a bottomed-out Irish boxer who has become part of this world, working for a show run by his brother Rory (Tom Bateman).

Hey TV fans! Do you like murder mysteries, Nicole Kidman wearing a really bad wig, and Liev Schreiber smoking lots of pot? Then you gotta check out "The Perfect Couple," now streaming on Netflix. Trust me: this is one of the best trash TV shows in recent memory. "The Perfect Couple" is not really good — you'll probably forget most of it after you binge through the six episodes. But the show is so unapologetically trashy, so silly, so over-the-top, that you're bound to have a good old time. It's a glossy, easy-to-digest series that drops a bunch of beautiful people in an equally beautiful location, and then puts them all in the midst of a murder mystery.

Comparisons to Rian Johnson's "Knives Out" movies and the HBO series "The White Lotus" are bound to arise, but "The Perfect Couple" isn't even close to being as good as those things.

Even after the big reveal, Dakota Fanning's portrayal of Abby, the Winburys' pregnant daughter-in-law, has viewers wondering why the character's pregnancy is so important to The Perfect Couple's story. Based on Elin Hilderbrand's bestselling 2018 novel of the same name, Netflix's The Perfect Couple is a darkly funny murder mystery set on Nantucket, an isolated and moneyed island off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Perfect Couple's cast of characters is led by Nicole Kidman's Greer Garrison Winbury, a famous novelist, and mother of three adult sons, who married into her husband Tag's (Liev Schreiber) wealthy family.

The Winbury family which also includes the partying philanderer Thomas (Jack Reynor), the seemingly unbothered Benji (Billy Howle), and the troubled black sheep Will (Sam Nivola) gather at their Nantucket home for Benji's wedding to Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson). Much to Greer's disappointment, Amelia doesn't quite fit in with the Winbury family,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Perfect Couple series and book.] The Perfect Couple has taken Netflix by storm, much like Merritt Monaco’s (Meghann Fahy) death did to Amelia (Eve Hewson) and Benji’s (Billy Howle) wedding weekend. But did you know the show is actually an adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel? After watching the six-episode series, there are several significant book-to-screen changes, including how Merritt’s death plays out. TV Insider is breaking down how the book differs from the show. 1. Merritt’s death was an accident in the book. In the book, Abigail accidentally drugs Merritt. She intends to put Featherleigh (Isabel in the show) out for the night by dropping one of Greer’s sleeping pills in her water glass so she won’t be able to sleep with Thomas. However, the glass ends up in the wrong person’s hands. Merritt drinks the drug-laced water instead of Featherleigh.

On a quiet summer morning, a body washes up on a Nantucket beach. A scream splits the air — and a prominent family is immediately plunged into chaos.

So ends the first episode of Netflix’s soapy drama series “The Perfect Couple,” based on the novel of the same name by bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand. Developed for the screen by showrunner Jenna Lamia (“Good Girls”), the show follows Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), whose upcoming nuptials to Benji Winbury (Billy Howle) are derailed on the day of her wedding when she discovers the dead body of her maid of honor, Merritt Monaco (Meghann Fahy).

The Nantucket wedding of The Perfect Couple Benji Winbury (Billy Howle) and Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson) is supposed to be the #weddingoftheyear — if the mother of the groom, Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman), has anything to say about it. But instead it’s over before the ceremony even starts, due to the untimely demise of one of the guests.

On the eve of the ceremony, the bride’s best friend and maid of honor Merritt (Meghann Fahy) is found dead, washed up on the beach of the Winbury residence. But was it an accident? Was it murder?

In Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling beach read The Perfect Couple, Merritt’s death is, in fact, accidental. But director and executive producer Susanne Bier tells Tudum she likely “wouldn’t have done...

Note: This story contains spoilers from “The Perfect Couple” finale.

After “The Perfect Couple” introduced the Winbury family under the thinly veiled facade of perfection, the finale of the Netflix series popped just about every bubble the family had been striving to keep secret.

If you need a refresher, Greer (Nicole Kidman) had prepared an extravagant wedding for her son Benji (Billy Howle) and his bride Amelia (Eve Hewson), which came shattering down when Amelia’s best friend Merritt (Meghann Fahy) was found dead. With Merritt carrying the unborn baby of Tag (Liev Schreiber), Greer’s husband, several family members could’ve had motive to kill her. But, in the finale, the killer was revealed as Abby (Dakota Fanning), Thomas’ wife.

The finale also revealed the secret that Greer had been holding onto for decades: that she previously worked as an escort and Tag was one of her clients. The...

In “The Perfect Couple,” Liev Schreiber stars as the picture of American aristocracy, Tag Winbury, whom Schreiber describes as a “combination of a deeply narcissistic child and a profoundly passionate and loving husband.” In short, Schreiber identifies Tag as a “douche,” which initially caused him to hesitate about taking the role.

“I had my doubts in the beginning — you know, the character’s such a douche,” Schreiber told TheWrap. “I was like, ‘Do I really want to do this?'”

His doubts were quickly quelled by his on-screen partner-in-crime Nicole Kidman, who stars in the Netflix murder mystery as Tag’s wife, Greer, the matriarch of the Winbury family. While Schreiber and Kidman had been friends for years, they hadn’t had the chance to work together yet, and with director Susanne Bier — whose work was admired by Schreiber — onboard, Schreiber was sold.

A choreographed beachside dance is hardly the opening credit sequence one would expect from a glossy Nicole Kidman murder mystery. But for director Susanne Bier (“Bird Box”), there was no other way to open “The Perfect Couple,” the six-part limited adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s novel.

“I’ve gotten so bored with title sequences,” Bier told IndieWire. “There was, at some point in the script, a nightmare sequence where there was a dance. I was like, ‘No, I don’t want to do that.’ But there was something about the word ‘dance’ that stayed with me, and I was like, ‘We are going to do the title sequence as a dance with everybody.’ First of all, it’s going to be really joyful and fun, but it’s also going to suggest to the audience, ‘Hey, you are allowed to laugh here.
