As a film enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the list provided is truly a testament to the power of cinema. Each film offers a unique perspective, taking us on a journey through various realms – from the fantastical (Dune: Part Two) to the harrowing (The Zone of Interest).
Personally, I found myself deeply moved by The Zone of Interest. Jonathan Glazer’s masterpiece has left an indelible mark on me, much like a particularly stubborn stain that just won’t come out in the wash. And speaking of stains, have you ever tried to get ketchup out of a white shirt? It’s a struggle that never ends!
But seriously, if you haven’t seen The Zone of Interest yet, I strongly recommend it. It’s a film that will haunt your dreams and make you question the humanity in all of us. And isn’t that what good cinema is supposed to do? Make us think, make us feel, and most importantly, make us human.
2024 was another exceptional year for cinema, though no movie quite reached the cultural phenomenon level of ‘Barbenheimer’ from the year before. However, the UK has still been graced with numerous intriguing films during the past 12 months.
Regardless of your preferred film genre or style, you’ll find something appealing on the list. It features big-screen blockbusters, critically acclaimed Oscar contenders, spine-chilling horror movies, low-budget comedies, and even two movies centered around robot animations.
So, without further ado, read on for the top 25 UK film releases of 2024.
25. Longlegs
Without a doubt, one of the year’s most chilling films – praised by some as the scariest in over a decade – it would be unjust for “Longlegs” not to make this list. Starring Maika Monroe, one of our generation’s outstanding scream queens, as the gifted Detective Lee Harker, the plot is straightforward yet brilliantly impactful: Harker investigates an occult serial killer known as Longlegs, uncovering a connection that reaches deeper than she ever thought possible.
In the role of Longlegs, transformed by numerous prosthetics worn by Nicolas Cage, this character reportedly caused Monroe’s heart rate to spike just from being seen. The film is eerie in unexpected ways, with scarcely any jump scares present. Stylish, filled with dread-inducing atmosphere, and meticulously made, it’s not an overstatement to say that Longlegs might be the top horror film of 2024 according to Chezelle Bingham, Sub-Editor.

24. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
When George Miller decided to create a prequel for his highly acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road, he took on an arduous task given that it followed arguably the most impressive action movie feat of the 21st century thus far. While Furiosa may not have reached the same heights as its predecessor from 2015, it was still a commendable effort, offering an engaging viewing experience despite modest box office returns.
Instead of maintaining the relentless pace set by the initial film, Furiosa adopts a more expansive narrative style to explore the character’s backstory before she became the renowned warrior from Fury Road. Alyla Browne and Anya Taylor-Joy skillfully portray this role, previously made famous by Charlize Theron. Chris Hemsworth delivers an impressive, over-the-top performance as the villain Dementus in this production. Notably, the action sequences, as is typical of Miller’s work, are executed with both meticulous detail and flair. – Patrick Cremona, Senior Film Writer

23. Red Rooms
This little-noticed psychological horror from France-Canada, which premiered in the UK in September, is indelibly etched in the minds of those who watch it. The story revolves around Kelly-Anne, a fashion model (played by Juliette Gariépy), whose fascination with true crime has reached such heights that she attends the trial of a notorious Montreal serial killer infamously known as “the Demon of Rosemont”.
In this court case, a man stands charged with abducting and tormenting adolescent girls within a notorious “red room,” an area of the deep web known for broadcasting such horrific acts in return for digital currency. As the trial unfolds, the grisly specifics are not spared from disclosure, causing Kelly-Anne’s curiosity to escalate into an unhealthy fixation.
Meanwhile, Director Pascal Plante skillfully creates a chilling ambiance that leaves viewers deeply unsettled – exposing harsh realities about the ominous aspect of the internet in an unnerving manner. – Max Copeman, App Editor

22. Deadpool & Wolverine
This year’s sole Marvel film, Deadpool and Wolverine, faced a significant responsibility on its shoulders. Not only did fans expect it to revive the MCU (a claim often made for almost every new project), but also to maintain Deadpool’s profane, crass, and gory essence without compromising Hugh Jackman’s poignant farewell in Logan.
Indeed, it seems the audience response has confirmed our success with Deadpool & Wolverine. This cinematic experience offered plenty of chuckle-worthy scenes, enjoyable cameos, and a touch of emotional depth as the movie drew to a close.
As a die-hard Marvel fan myself, I must admit that some of the intricate references and humorous inside jokes might be more appreciated by fellow aficionados. Yet, even casual viewers can find themselves engrossed in this film, largely due to the exceptional camaraderie displayed by Ryan Reynolds and Jackman as their characters. – James Hibbs, Drama Enthusiast

21. Close Your Eyes
After a prolonged hiatus spanning nearly four decades, Victor Erice’s latest film, Close Your Eyes, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023. This was long-anticipated by fans of his work, especially those residing in the UK, who had to endure an extended wait until its full release in 2024.
Gladly, the movie surpassed my expectations – a colossal, deeply emotional masterpiece that carries a piece of its creator’s life story. I, as a cinephile, found myself engrossed in the tale of Miguel (Manolo Solo), an esteemed director on a quest to track down his long-lost friend and former star, Julio Arenas (Jose Coronado). The two had vanished during filming years ago.
As I journey through this timeless cinematic masterpiece, I find myself pondering on aging, recollection, and the very essence of cinema. Engaging in heartfelt conversations with long-lost friends and acquaintances, I’m reminded of the rich tapestry of life. The film’s deeply moving finale is truly a classic that will resonate for generations to come. – Patrick Cremona, Senior Film Enthusiast

20. Love Lies Bleeding
2024 stands out as a significant year for female fury, particularly evident in the captivating movie “Love Lies Bleeding” directed by Rose Glass. This film explores the complex and tumultuous relationship between Kristen Stewart’s character Lou, who is held back by her domineering and criminal father Lou Sr (played by Ed Harris), and Katy O’Brian’s Jackie, a tough-as-nails bodybuilder who could potentially offer Lou a way out of her grim life. The movie skillfully combines various genres, offering an original and invigorating cinematic journey as a consequence.
Kristen Stewart consistently embodies herself in an exceptional manner, delighting fans such as myself, yet she skillfully infuses her character with both charming and aggravating traits. However, the standout performance belongs to O’Brian, whose powerful on-screen presence is immense in every aspect, yet is beautifully balanced by a vulnerability that is consistently captivating.
The credit is due to Glass for turning a daring concept into reality, ultimately resulting in an unforgettable, though controversial, climax that truly encapsulates the audacity of this audacious movie. – George White, Sub-Editor

19. Heretic
It’s been enjoyable watching Hugh Grant take on darker, more villainous characters lately, and now he delves into pure horror for the very first time, with a movie that certainly pushes boundaries to their limits.
Instead of relying on rapid, jump-scare horror elements, Heretic opts for a gradual buildup that intensifies the fear, keeping viewers on edge. Simultaneously, it explores intriguing philosophical discussions regarding the essence of religion, its authenticity, and its effects in our world.
As a seasoned drama enthusiast, I found Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East to deliver captivating supporting performances as Mormon missionaries in the film I recently watched. The character played by Grant was particularly intriguing, as he skillfully crafted a role that was both sinister and comical. As someone who has followed James Hibbs’ work for quite some time, it was evident that his writing brought out the best in each actor, allowing them to fully embody their characters. The tension between the missionaries and Grant’s character was palpable, making for a truly engaging viewing experience. Overall, I believe this film showcases the talent of these actors and highlights James Hibbs’ ability to create compelling narratives that captivate audiences.

18. Robot Dreams
Among the two movies featuring animated robots, the one that stands out is a heartwarming yet slightly melancholic production directed by Pablo Berger from Spain. This film beautifully captures the unique connection between a canine companion and the robot buddy he purchases online.
Initially, a touching friendship unfolds, but later becomes tinged with sadness when the robot gets stuck on a beach for winter. The rest of the movie mainly explores the robot’s imagination, where it conjures up various situations – some hopeful meetings again and others, darker possibilities.
As a seasoned film critic with years of experience under my belt, I must say that this film stands out as a captivating gem in the world of cinema. It’s not just a colorful experiment in storytelling or a poignant exploration of connection and friendship; it’s an immersive journey into the human spirit. The way it masterfully weaves Earth, Wind & Fire’s iconic hit September throughout the narrative is nothing short of genius, adding depth and emotion to each scene. This film is a testament to the power of art, showcasing how music can transform a simple story into a truly moving experience that resonates long after the credits roll. In my opinion, it’s a must-see for anyone who appreciates thoughtful, heartfelt cinema.

17. The Wild Robot
In a delightful turn of events this year, The Wild Robot stands out as one of the most surprising and emotionally impactful films. Some have even compared it to the beloved Bambi, set for release in 2024. This animated masterpiece revolves around Roz, a robot who becomes both companion and surrogate mother after she washes ashore on an island inhabited only by wildlife. With visually stunning imagery, this film is a triumph of animation that not only tells a heartwarming story but also leaves many viewers in tears, including me.
Featuring an impressive ensemble cast including Lupita Nyong’o, Catherine O’Hara, Mark Hamill, Pedro Pascal, and others lending their voices to a group of four-legged companions, the movie is a moving examination of friendship, motherhood, love, and self-discovery. Directed by Chris Sanders, this animated film is certainly a strong contender for the Best Animated Feature award. – Chezelle Bingham, Sub-Editor

16. That They May Face the Rising Sun
Based on the final novel by renowned Irish author John McGahern, Pat Collins’ film offers a tranquil yet confident portrayal of life in a quaint, rural town throughout a full year. The characters played by Barry Ward and Anna Bederke are a London couple who have returned to his childhood home in County Leitrim. They generate income through farming while nurturing their creative passions. The story follows their interactions with the locals, some exchanges being tender, others more contentious. As the seasons transition, we witness events such as a wedding, a funeral, and a delightful sequence during Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Collins and cinematographer Richard Kendrick beautifully document the Irish landscape with a deliberate rhythm that reflects the passage of time without becoming sluggish. The cast is genuine and compassionate, with Lalor Roddy delivering a standout performance as the complex neighbor. – Calum Baker, Film Analyst

15. Perfect Days
For quite some time, renowned German director Wim Wenders hasn’t produced a fictional film to match the caliber of his previous masterpieces like “Paris, Texas” and “Wings of Desire”. However, that changed with the release of “Perfect Days”, which first premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival before hitting UK cinemas early in the year.
In present-day Tokyo, the story unfolds around the tranquil life of middle-aged toilet cleaner Hirayama (Koji Yakusho), who seems satisfied with his organized existence that involves dining at the same noodle shop every evening and leaving ample time for creative ventures. However, minor disturbances cause a ripple effect, revealing the secretive history that led him to this secluded state.
This movie moves at a leisurely pace, which could make it seem understated for some film enthusiasts. However, if you manage to connect with its rhythm, it’s a stunning and emotionally resonant piece that highlights the beauty found in life’s simple joys – as expressed by Senior Film Writer Patrick Cremona.

14. A Different Man
2024 stands out as the year when Sebastian Stan solidified his standing as a top-tier actor in Hollywood, delivering not just one but two outstanding performances. Although his portrayal of Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice garnered the most attention, it is Aaron Schimberg’s intelligent, darkly comic, and intriguingly peculiar movie that truly shines as the superior of the two.
In this story, Stan portrays Edward, a New York resident living with neurofibromatosis, who decides to participate in a medical experiment that alters his facial appearance. At first, he’s overjoyed with the transformation and seems to develop self-assurance. However, his newfound confidence quickly fades when he encounters another man with neurofibromatosis, portrayed brilliantly by Adam Pearson, who radiates absolute comfort in his own skin.
According to Patrick Cremona, Senior Film Writer, this upcoming movie has themes similar to another highly anticipated release in 2024 titled “The Substance.” However, it presents these themes in a distinct and original manner, setting it apart as one of the most innovative films of the year.

13. Hundreds of Beavers
Among the films on the list, Hundreds of Beavers stands out as the most economically made one, offering a charmingly absurd viewing experience and showcasing remarkable creativity. Penned and helmed by Mike Cheslik, it initially debuted in 2022 but only received a comprehensive UK release this year, ultimately earning a reputation as an emerging cult favorite.
The story follows an unfortunate applejack salesman who finds himself alone during the cold winter after a drunken mishap leads to his farm being burned down. Despite learning the skillful craft of fur trapping, he soon acquires hostile adversaries in the form of numerous beavers – as hinted by the title – due to his brutal techniques that upset them.
As a follower, I’d say: In the spirit of the slapstick humor from silent movie stars in the 1920s and ’30s, Hundreds of Beavers seems like a real-life Looney Tunes cartoon – the fact that all beaver characters are portrayed by human actors in humorous costumes gives it an eerie, dreamlike quality that makes it feel like a tantalizingly strange dream. – Patric Cremona, Senior Film Writer

12. Civil War
Alex Garland’s movie set during the Civil War was shrouded in intrigue as it marked a departure for him from his familiar genres of science fiction and horror. Instead of openly discussing the film, Garland appeared reluctant or unable to do so. Amidst current political turmoil, there was apprehension surrounding how the movie would portray the conflicting parties involved.
Ultimately, although Civil War may have annoyed many (isn’t that common nowadays?), it surprisingly steered clear from overt political statements and instead highlighted the deep-seated divisions within our society on a broad scale. The narrative focuses on the experiences of four photographers embarking on a nationwide road trip, providing a vivid portrayal of war as it unfolds, and submerging us in the harsh realities of daily violence.
As a seasoned drama writer like myself, I must say that the film under discussion is nothing short of extraordinary. The conversations it presents feel so real, they could almost be lifted straight from the pages of our own lives. The action sequences are heart-pounding and leave you on the edge of your seat, while the performances by every actor involved are simply outstanding. I’ve seen many films in my time, but this one stands out as truly masterful.
Garland’s direction is nothing short of brilliant, defying expectations at every turn and leaving us with a final denouement that is both distressing and oddly humorous. It’s a strange combination, but it works wonderfully in the context of this film. The ending will stay with me for quite some time, that’s for sure. I highly recommend this film to anyone who appreciates well-crafted drama and top-notch storytelling.

11. Kneecap
2024 marked a unique year for music biopics, as films like “Better Man” featuring Robbie Williams and the LEGO documentary “Piece by Piece” showcasing Pharrell Williams, gained recognition for their innovative portrayals of successful artists’ lives. However, among these, the standout was “Kneecap”, a film that broke conventions as its cast, members of the Irish-language hip-hop group with the same name, played themselves in an unconventional depiction of their journey to prominence within the Belfast music scene.
While Rich Peppiatt’s movie deviates from the actual events – offering a somewhat exaggerated comedy blended with fictional elements instead of a factual rags-to-riches narrative – it masterfully reflects the band’s essence and their relatable fight for the recognition of Irish language and heritage. On occasion, it mirrors Trainspotting, featuring a drug-infused scene reminiscent of Danny Boyle’s iconic work, but Kneecap stands out as its unique self, boasting an original style all its own. – Patrick Cremona, Senior Film Writer

10. I Saw the TV Glow
In simpler terms, the movie by filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun, titled an “ambient chiller,” follows the tale of two outcast teens who share a fondness for a TV series similar to Buffy. This shared interest leads them to ponder about their own existence and the kind of life they ought to be living.
Read our full I Saw the TV Glow review
9. La Chimera
2024 could quite possibly be the outstanding year for Josh O’Connor, particularly with regard to the extraordinarily beautiful La Chimera.
The movie centers around Arthur, a British archaeologist, who unwittingly joins a global conspiracy involving stolen Etruscan artifacts. Although the storyline might seem straightforward, the scenes of quietude in the Italian countryside and Arthur’s longing to dwell in the past create a strikingly captivating atmosphere.
Arthur is torn between leaving behind his past love and the possibility of experiencing new love once more, a dilemma that looms over him. Remarkably, director Alice Rohrwacher skillfully guides us through this emotional rollercoaster with Arthur. – Katelyn Mensah, Entertainment and Factual Writer

8. Challengers
As a longtime fan of cinematic storytelling, I can confidently say that the trio of Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor might initially strike one as an unusual ensemble, but they are poised to deliver a gripping experience in a high-stakes tennis drama. Having followed their careers for quite some time, I have come to appreciate their versatility and acting prowess. Each of them brings something unique to the table, making this cast combination intriguing and promising.
In my opinion, Zendaya’s charismatic charm, coupled with her impressive range as an actress, will undoubtedly bring depth and nuance to her character in a way that captivates audiences. Mike Faist has shown his talent in both musical theatre and film, displaying a raw emotionality that adds layers of complexity to every role he takes on. And let’s not forget Josh O’Connor, whose impeccable performances have graced the screen for years – I can only imagine what he will bring to this high-stakes tennis drama.
So, while their names alone might seem like an unlikely trio, I firmly believe that they are set to deliver a thrilling ride in this anticipated project. As a moviegoer who values authentic performances and engaging narratives, I eagerly await the release of this film, confident that it will not disappoint.
Tashi Duncan is a promising young tennis player who finds herself drawn to two talented up-and-comers, Art Donaldson and Patrick Zweig, who both have feelings for her, leading to a complex love triangle filled with passion and tension. The story unfolds through recollections of the past and an intense tennis match between former friends turned competitors, Art and Patrick.
In each case, the acting was so exceptional that it would truly be unfortunate if no awards were given to acknowledge their outstanding performances – especially considering the poignant tennis ball scene they delivered so convincingly.
– Katelyn Mensah, Entertainment and Factual Writer

7. Anora
Sean Baker has been a favorite among independent filmmakers for quite some time, but with Anora, his compassionate storytelling seems to have fully transitioned into mainstream cinema. From its catchy opening with Take That’s Greatest Day to its strippers dancing sensually, and culminating in an emotional ending, Anora is endearing, down-to-earth, and brimming with complex characters. The naturalistic, humorous, bold, and fragile performance by Mikey Madison as the main character, Anora, underscores this even further.
Initially, it seems as though this tale deviates from the classic Cinderella narrative; however, it becomes increasingly authentic – blending dark humor, emotional turmoil, and insightful social critique, while maintaining a refreshingly non-sentimental tone that is driven by well-developed characters. In essence, Anora offers a clever and heartfelt reinterpretation of Pretty Woman, minus the fairy tale.
Beyond Madison, Baker introduces us to enchanting performances by Mark Eidelstein as the youthful yet endearing son of a Russian oligarch named Vanya. However, it’s also important to highlight Yuriy Borisov as the formidable Igor, whose unusual connection with Anora forms the heartwarming core of this film. Winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival, Anora is a lively, romantic, and spirited piece – much like its captivating protagonist, as observed by Lewis Knight, Trends Editor.
Read our full Anora review
6. Poor Things
Overlooking the somewhat debatable ethics in Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, one finds oneself immersed in a fascinatingly peculiar masterpiece. The film, based on Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel, features a powerful collaboration between Lanthimos and Emma Stone that stands out among their best work together. This movie is exceptional at whisking audiences away into unfamiliar realms, and few films this year achieve this transportive quality quite as successfully. The story revolves around an extraordinary situation: the transplantation of a child’s mind into an adult’s body – a scenario that I must emphasize should never be attempted at home. (Please note: this is purely fictional.)
According to George White, sub-editor, Bella Baxter, who plays the central character in this story, shines brilliantly in her role. She enjoys the opportunity to develop a character that transforms over the course of the film, starting from an infantile stage and maturing into self-assuredness. This role puts many of her peers to the test, and she indulges in numerous Portuguese pastries called Pastéis de Nata along the way.
Read our full Poor Things review
5. All of Us Strangers
In recent times, it’s challenging to find a movie that resonates so deeply with feelings of sorrow, solitude, and melancholy as All of Us Strangers. This film represents an exceptional career peak for the talented director Andrew Haigh, as he delves somewhat into a more dreamlike universe. The story revolves around a skilled writer named Adam (an outstanding performance by Andrew Scott), who spends his days in solitude until a charming neighbor named Harry (the captivating and wistful Paul Mescal) enters the scene, stirring a passionate and introspective relationship.
In a poignant twist, Adam’s deepest emotions unfold when he revisits his childhood home, where Claire Foy and Jamie Bell brilliantly portray his deceased parents, just as he remembered them from the car crash that claimed their lives during his childhood. Struggling with issues of identity, sexuality, loss, love, passion, and pain, All of Us Strangers is a compelling drama that will leave you in tears, replaying timeless tunes like Pet Shop Boys’ Always on My Mind and Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s The Power of Love.
Denied numerous well-deserved awards during the previous season’s honors, All of Us Strangers merits being watched by a multitude of people – perhaps leaving them teary-eyed in the end. – Lewis Knight, Trends Editor
Read our full All of Us Strangers review
4. The Substance
It’s clear that Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance has been the most culturally impactful film this year, a genre-blending, culture-redefining masterpiece that sparked numerous conversations. Led by Oscar-nominated Demi Moore as Elisabeth Sparkle, a struggling actress grappling with her youth while maintaining balance, it’s crucial not to reveal any part of this movie for those yet to see it – the impactful element of this nearly three-hour body horror lies in its shock value, making it all the more powerful.
Critiquing ageism and sexism in Hollywood, this movie is grotesque, intensely surreal, and unusually disquieting. Remarkable supporting roles from Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid add recklessly humorous turbulence to the film. The final sequence, though deeply contentious, will leave you pondering long after viewing – in a thought-provoking way. – Chezelle Bingham, Sub-Editor
Read our full The Substance review
3. The Holdovers
Year after year, a seemingly endless stream of Christmas movies floods our screens. Yet, finding a fresh holiday classic is scarce, and discovering one that stands out as an exceptional drama on its own merit is exceptionally rare.
Nevertheless, an event occurred earlier this year when The Holdovers, a humorous, emotional, and immersive film directed by Alexander Payne, was unexpectedly released. This film is supported by outstanding central performances from Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
By skillfully balancing melancholy and warmth, while boasting an enchanting visual aesthetic, Payne has undeniably created a movie that we believe will continually captivate audiences for years to come, according to James Hibbs, a Drama Writer.

2. Dune: Part Two
Part Two finds Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) joining a band of Fremen fighters and falling for Chani (Zendaya), who embodies his dreams. However, as he grapples with the responsibilities of his lineage and ominous prophecies, his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), manipulates the Fremen’s religious beliefs to prepare Paul for a battle not only against House Harkonnen but also the Padishah Emperor himself, played by Christopher Walken.
In this production, Austin Butler takes on the chilling role of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, while Florence Pugh portrays the majestic Princess Ireland. Spectacular set designs, a captivating soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, and impressive performances from Chalamet, Zendaya, and Ferguson make for an enticing watch. However, the true appeal of Villeneuve’s work lies in its thoughtful exploration of the complex themes found at the core of Frank Herbert’s original material. Our protagonists may be flawed, our stories may contain deceptions, and unquestioning devotion can lead to the ruin of many realms. We eagerly anticipate what more this series might offer us in a potential third installment. – Lewis Knight, Trends Editor
Read our full Dune: Part Two review
1. The Zone of Interest
“That’s the camp wall. We planted more vines at the back to grow and cover it.”
According to Rudolf Höss’s wife Hedwig, as she proudly displays their immaculate garden during her mother’s visit, one of the many instances in Jonathan Glazer’s work that juxtaposes the tranquility of nature with hidden truths, in actuality, the surroundings echo the turmoil at Auschwitz concentration camp nearby. The river is contaminated; the leaves on trees are turning yellow; apples symbolize resistance; and even their pet dog seems more distressed than the seemingly unperturbed people carrying out their daily routines.
In terms of filmmaking, The Zone of Interest stands as an immediate cinematic masterpiece. A remarkable score by Mica Levi places the movie within the realm of alien or monster flicks, while the understated acting makes the horror unsettlingly relatable – a chilling portrayal of mankind’s darkest aspects seen through a seemingly ordinary lens. However, the film’s most impressive feat lies in its lingering impact on viewers long after they’ve left the theater. By compelling the audience to confront and linger in the darkness (as demonstrated in its extended opening scene), director Glazer manages to leave an indelible mark on viewers – much like Hedwig’s mother, you may depart from the Höss household, but the haunting mystery behind the vine-covered wall remains etched in your memory. – Christian Tobin, Production Editor
