12 Films to Watch in 2025 (January to June)

Following our ’12 Films To Watch’ lists for previous years, 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 2025—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 ‘2025 Film Calendar‘, and of course please note that thanks to the ongoing uncertainty of the global release slate dates may be changed and releases pulled at any time.
