Steven Soderbergh’s exceptional talent shines yet again with his second outstanding movie of 2025, a gripping thriller titled “Presence“. Starring an illustrious cast including Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Naomie Harris, and Pierce Brosnan, this film about a spy who uncovers his next mission might be his wife has garnered impressive reviews. Given its success for a mid-budget production, it seems destined to gain a larger following on home screens. Don’t miss out – hop aboard now!
Opus
Mark Anthony Green, 104 minutes

From Sundance in January, to cinemas in March, and finally on your television screens in April – what a whirlwind! The movie, featuring Ayo Edebiri, delves into the strange world of a reclusive rock star, portrayed by John Malkovich, who invites a select group of journalists to an exclusive album listening party. Needless to say, things take an unusual turn. Alongside Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, and Young Mazino, this film explores the precarious boundary between fanaticism and cult-like behavior. At times, it can be disconcertingly thin.
Paddington in Peru
Dougal Wilson, 106 minutes

In this world, having Paddington around makes it a kinder and more enjoyable place. Despite being overlooked in the U.S., his comeback movie in 2025 has been a global sensation. Ben Whishaw once again lends his voice to Paddington, a character who embodies empathy and compassion – traits we could all benefit from in 2025. Although it might not reach the heights of the initial movies, it’s still worth checking out on streaming platforms, particularly for families.
April 4
The Monkey
Osgood Perkins, 98 minutes
https://youtube.com/watch?v=watch?v=ZTU3lmB1nN8
In less than a year after directing Longlegs, the filmmaker came back to steer another blockbuster for Neon. This movie, in stark contrast, is a dark comedy where a cursed toy monkey predicts and instigates gruesome deaths. Theo James delivers an outstanding performance as twin brothers who have suffered at the hands of this monkey in this rendition of Stephen King’s 1980 short story of the same name. This film is both brutal and hilarious, and it’s expected to be one of the top horror films of 2025.
