12 Films to Watch in 2024 (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 2024—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 ‘2024 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.

January

Poor Things (12th)

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Sci-fi

UK Release: 12th of January

US Release: 8th of December 2022

In a surrealist Victorian Britain, a tragically deceased young woman is re-born and given a second shot at life when she’s re-animated by an eccentric mad scientist, as her childlike blooming takes an impulsive and sexual path driven by desire and curiosity when she embarks on a journey of discovery and emancipation in the company of a lecherous Lothario, in this latest odd black comedy concoction from the director of ‘The Lobster’ and ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’.

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo among others.

The Book of Clarence (19th)

Image Source: Sony Pictures

Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Drama

UK Release: 19th of January

US Release: 12th of January

In Jerusalem of 33 AD an aimless highfalutin hustler sees an opportunity in the rise of Jesus Christ where others see salvation, as he carves out a piece of the worship and adulation pie by shaping himself into a self-made Messiah, only to incur the wrath of the true faithful and the ruling Romans but unexpectedly finding his own divine path along the way, in this black-centred alternative gospel commentary on celebrity culture and redemption from the writer/director of ‘The Harder They Fall’.

Directed by Jeymes Samuel and starring LaKeith Stanfield, RJ Cyler and Omar Sy among others.
