Cate Blanchett's Hilarious New Film, Rumours: Where and When to Watch!
Rumours: Cate Blanchett's Political Satire Black Comedy Hits Theaters!
Cate Blanchett is back on the big screen in a new Black Comedy, and this time, it's a total riot! After the unfortunate critical and commercial failure of Borderlands earlier this year, Blanchett's latest film, Rumours, is shaping up to be a real winner, particularly after achieving an impressive 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The comedic acting talent coupled with the sheer Political Satire might have finally achieved just what many fans have wanted. This time, she's delivering exactly what many have expected to see for several of her past projects, something long awaited for.
Directed by the brilliant trio Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, Rumours is a ridiculously funny story involving global leaders at a G7 summit getting hopelessly lost in the woods. The cast is superb–Cate Blanchett as the German Chancellor Hilda Ortmann, Charles Dance as the U.S. President, and Alicia Vikander as the Secretary-General of the European Commission, highlighting this talented collection of actors; these highly successful and extremely famous actors who have consistently appeared in several popular movies are gathered together.
Where to Watch Rumours: Theaters, Streaming, and Digital!
Rumours' Theatrical Release: A Limited-Time Cinema Event
Rumours began its theatrical run on October 18, 2024. It's playing exclusively in theaters for a while. This is no ordinary film; its recent Cannes Film Festival premiere further suggests why this should appear exclusively in cinema locations first, adding prestige. Given that the political comedy's runtime is under two hours; there is an R rating; so expect a fun, yet serious film experience appropriate for adults looking for some intense humor regarding politics.

Rumours Streaming: Showtime is Your Destination!
Want to watch from home? Bleecker Street (the distributor) and Showtime made a deal in 2022 giving Showtime exclusive streaming rights to Bleecker Street’s films for five months after their theatrical releases! This means you'll find it on Showtime by March 2025 at the very latest, a timeline guaranteed and contractually obligated.
Rumours Digital: Coming Soon to Your Home Screens!
Want a digital copy of Rumours? Bleecker Street hasn't given a release date, yet most experts generally agree this will become available fairly soon. Expect Rumours to become available to buy or rent via PVOD (Premium Video On Demand) roughly a month after the theatrical run. It's similar to what happened to Sasquatch Summer, another successful title this same year from the same distributors; this consistent choice and predictability in these production's strategies makes their decisions that much clearer; therefore viewers also expect their releases will follow these relatively common and expected timelines in these types of releases.
Conclusion: Don't Miss Cate Blanchett's Absurdist Political Comedy!
Rumours is a can’t-miss movie. That brilliant Rotten Tomatoes score demonstrates it’s a truly clever and hilarious political satire—which uses these extremely talented cast members, bringing something far, far more effective than simply using established movie stars. This time however, a much greater thematic effort was brought to it, producing something seriously enjoyable. Don’t miss that theatrical release; plan for your viewing early! And if a theater's out of the question, set those reminders; and plan for a viewing on Showtime!
