12 Films to Watch in 2023 (January to June)

Following our ’12 Films To Watch’ lists for previous years and their absence over the fluid chaos of the pandemic era release slate, we return to break down 12 of what we think might be some must-see films released in the UK and worldwide during the first half of 2023—spreading the love out with two per month and only including films which have confirmed UK release dates.

There will be plenty more must-see releases added for the UK and beyond over the coming months so be sure to keep checking our frequently updated ‘2023 Film Calendar‘, and of course please note that thanks to the ongoing uncertainty of the global release slate caused by COVID-19, dates may be changed and releases pulled at any time.

In the midst of the excess and decadence of pre-code early Hollywood and the rise of Los Angeles as the world’s Tinseltown, a rag-tag collection of characters—from established silent stars and wild ingenues to flashy musicians and ambitious immigrants—try to get their piece of the American dream, in this wild ode to a bygone cinematic era from the writer/director of ‘Whiplash’ and ‘La La Land’.

Genre: Drama

UK Release: 27th of January

US Release: 23rd of November 2022

In post war boom-era Arizona a boy with big dreams is beguiled by the magic of the pictures and nurtured by his free-spirited artistic mother to become a storyteller himself, as he struggles with family drama and his straight-laced scientific father while trying to fit in with his peers, in this semi-autobiographical coming-of-age ode to films and dreams from a giant of modern cinema.

Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Gabriel LaBelle, Michelle Williams and Paul Dano among others.
