Recommends

Picturehouse Recommends is Picturehouse's quarterly film magazine, telling you everything you need to know about the most exciting new films coming to Picturehouse screens.

We're back on your local cinema's shelves this December, and as we enter 2025, our magazine is the perfect guide (and did we mention it got a new look recently?) – here's what to expect in this issue…

• On our covers, you'll find something to warm your heart and something to put a chill down your spine: Nosferatu, Robert Eggers' gloriously Gothic reinvention of the classic vampire story, and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, the long-awaited return of Renee Zellweger's lovably frazzled heroine.
• We talk to legendary director Mike Leigh about his comeback Hard Truths, Better Man's Steve Pemberton gets into his movie-going history in The Movies, and who better to enter our Hall of Fame than Babygirl star – the titular Babygirl? – Nicole Kidman?
• It's the most wonderful time of the year – Christmas and award season! – so snuggle up somewhere cosy and celebrate our Home For The Holidays season with a festive wordsearch, then get into your Oscars trivia with our Quiz Show. Plus, enjoy a thorough rundown of our upcoming season Noir In Nine Chapters with a Bluffer's Guide.
• Plus, go deep into some of the most anticipated movies of 2025, including The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, We Live In Time, and many more.

Don't forget, Picturehouse Recommends is completely free, and available whenever you visit a Picturehouse – that's what makes it the biggest film magazine in Britain. Plus, Picturehouse Members can get it delivered to their homes for no extra charge!

Find Picturehouse Recommends at your local Picturehouse cinema, read selected stories from every issue here in our digital home, and if you're more of a listener, we highly recommend our podcast The Love of Cinema.
