Babygirl and 4 Other Most Anticipated Films Coming in Winter 2024/2025

Winter promises to be rich in high-profile premieres. The biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet, and the potentially Oscar-winning drama Brutalist, starring Adrien Brody, are hitting theaters.

Here are the five most anticipated films of the winter.

1. The Brutalist

Release Date: December 20, 2024

After its premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, The Brutalist has every chance of becoming a favorite in the upcoming Oscar race. Brady Corbet won the Silver Lion for directing. The director's previous films, Vox Lux and The Childhood of a Leader, also screened in Venice but were ignored by the Academy.

Critics praised Corbet's three-hour film, calling The Brutalist one of the most impressive films of the year. Adrien Brody also received loud applause for what appears to be one of the best roles of his career.

In 1947, after the horrors of the Holocaust, architect Laszlo Toth leaves Europe for the US. In the new country, the man hopes to start a new life. Soon Laszlo receives a major commission to build a library for a mysterious rich man.

2. The Last Showgirl

Release Date: December 13, 2024

A dancer learns that the show she has been working on for many years is going to be closed. After 30 years of performing, the woman will have to move on and build a future without the usual performances.

2024 can safely be called the year of the revival of the careers of once popular actresses: The Substance, for example, became a moment of fame for Demi Moore, and The Last Showgirl is a benefit performance for Pamela Anderson.

3. The Monkey

Release Date: February 21, 2025

This year's most high-profile horror release was Osgood Perkins' Longlegs. Another movie from the master of the chilling genre is just around the corner: the director decided to adapt a story by Stephen King.

Twin brothers Bill and Hal discover an old wind-up monkey in the attic. The toy contains an evil spirit that wants to kill people. Years later, the brothers meet the possessed monkey again.

4. Babygirl

Release Date: December 25, 2024

The relationship between an adult woman and a man is one of the cinematic trends of 2024. Babygirl is another example of a movie in which a romance with a large age difference is at the center of the story.

Romy is a successful woman who is the head of a company. In her personal life, the woman is also doing well: she and her husband are raising two daughters. Everything changes when a young intern enters Romy's life, with whom she begins a passionate relationship.

5. A Complete Unknown

Release Date: December 25, 2024

Almost every year, a biopic is released that captures the attention of audiences, critics, and film scholars. In 2024, that task fell to A Complete Unknown, a Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet as the musician.

A Complete Unknown will show the beginning of the great singer's career, covering the period from 1961 to 1965. In addition to Chalamet, the movie stars Monica Barbaro, who plays Joan Baez, and Elle Fanning, who plays Sylvie Russo.
