The worst year ever in cinema possibly but there were some bangers but a lot of truly awful films. I only gave five stars out to 2 films and I’m a generous rater! I didn’t see No Other Choice, Hamnet, Dust Bunny and Sirāt and a few other films not out in the UK/or missed at Leeds Film festival so those will count for next year. Next year seems very promising though so bring on 2026 and let’s forget 2025. * indicates I saw it in the cinema
