2025: A Year at the Movies

From the unbearable intensity of Netflix’s Adolescence to Guillermo del Toro’s magnificent Frankenstein, from the roar of 1976 Formula 1 in Rush to the quiet fury of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri—2025 was a year of cinema that refused to play it safe. This retrospective celebrates the films and series that earned the highest marks: Hitchcock and Kurosawa classics revisited with fresh eyes, Malayalam treasures both vintage and contemporary, and Apple TV+’s twin sci-fi masterpieces Severance and Pluribus that asked profound questions about what makes us human. What emerges is a portrait of a viewer willing to engage fully—with blockbusters and arthouse alike, with horror shorts that haunt in five minutes and epics that demand your complete attention. These are the stories that lingered, the performances that stunned, and the experiences that reminded us why we keep returning to the screen.
