Vogue’s mid-year list is here with a rich cinematic landscape, blending art-house, genre, and crowd-pleasing hits. Among the top picks:
Armand, a chilling Scandinavian psychodrama, features a standout performance by Renate Reinsve and showcases bold visual storytelling.
Black Bag, directed by Steven Soderbergh, delivers a sleek, tightly wound spy thriller praised for its sharp editing and narrative tension.
Bring Her Back, a horror drama from the Philippou brothers, blends emotional resonance with chilling scares, anchored by powerful acting.
F1: The Movie and Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme offer blockbuster spectacle and auteur flair, while smaller gems like Sorry, Baby and Rebuilding shine with intimate storytelling.
Notable performances include Sally Hawkins’s role in Bring Her Back and Rose Byrne in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, the latter being a darkly comic tale of anxiety. International cinema also makes a mark: Jafar Panahi’s Cannes winner It Was Just an Accident resurges, alongside surreal works like Sound of Falling and Universal Language.
From gripping dramas to inventive horror and emotional indie fare, Vogue’s selections reflect a dynamic, bold year in film—offering something for every taste and signaling a strong box-office and awards season ahead.
