We’re obsessed with the cinema RN – here’s what we’re going to see in January

2025 is gearing up to be another great year for movies, and as part of our wholesome era, we’re really enjoying regular cinema trips this year.
So whether you want excitement at Everyman or thrills at Tyneside Cinema, we’ve got you covered with our January round-up…

We Live in Time
Almut (Florence Pugh), an up-and-coming chef, and Tobias (Andrew Garfield), a recent divorcee, find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together. From falling in love to building a home and becoming a family, a difficult truth is soon revealed that rocks its very foundation. As they embark on a path that’s challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of their unique love story in a decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.

Babygirl
Despite the risk and prejudices, a very successful CEO (Nicole Kidman) puts her life’s work on the line when she begins an illicit affair with her much younger intern (Harris Dickinson). Antonio Banderas also stars.

A Complete Unknown
Set in the influential New York music scene of the early ‘60s, A Complete Unknown follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s (Timothee Chalamet) meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts. His songs and mystique became a worldwide sensation, culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll gig at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line). With awards season just around the corner, we would be surprised if A Complete Unknown isn’t nominated.

William Tell
William Tell brings to life the legendary tale of the famous marksman and resistance leader forced to shoot an apple on his son’s head. In the 14th Century, amidst the days of the Holy Roman Empire, Europe’s nations fiercely vied for supremacy and power when the ambitious Austrian Empire invaded Switzerland, and a peaceful huntsman, William Tell (Claes Bang), was thrust into the heart of their resistance. The star-studded cast includes Jonathan Pryce, Rafe Spall, Jonah Hauer-King and Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley,

Flight Risk
In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) plays a pilot who is transporting an air marshal (Michelle Dockery), accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions begin to soar, and trust is tested as not everyone on board is who they seem. This thriller is directed by Mel Gibson, who is no stranger to nail-biting suspense and the ultimate action movie veteran.

Presence
Presence is directed by Steven Soderbergh and marks his horror debut. The film follows a family that has recently moved into a new suburban home as they discover that their new house is occupied by something other than themselves. But unlike your standard horror movies, this story is told from the point of view of the supernatural element, or presence, as it continues to haunt the family. Stars Lucy Liu, Julia Fox and Chris Sullivan.

September 5
September 5 unveils the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today. Set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the film follows an American Sports broadcasting team that quickly adapted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage. Through this lens, September 5 provides a fresh perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people at the time.

The Brutalist
The Brutalist is a staggering three-and-a-half-hour epic which won some of the top prizes at the Golden Globes, taking home awards for Best Drama, among others. It follows visionary architect Laszlo Toth (Adrien Brody) and his wife Eizsebet (Felicity Jones) as they flee post-war Europe in 1947 to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern America. Their lives are changed forever by a mysterious and wealthy client (Guy Pearce) who offers Laszlo and his family the American Dream by commissioning him to design a grand monument and help to shape the landscape of the country he now calls his home.
