Sight and Sound, September 2025
The international film magazine – enriching readers' understanding of cinema since 1932.
In this issue: More hidden gems, chosen by critics and filmmakers including Steven Soderbergh, Jane Schoenbrun and Asif Kapadia.
B. Ruby Rich on Sorry, Baby, Peter Sellers at 100, Stephanie Rothman’s subversive B-movies, Ang Lee interviewed by Samuel Wigley, and we revisit interviews with Daniel Day-Lewis and Hanif Kureishi as My Beautiful Laundrette turns 40. In this specially selected list of 50 films, Sight and Sound critics, along with a host of filmmakers from Alice Rohrwacher to Mike Leigh, share vital works that they feel are underseen and overlooked. From little-known features by renowned directors to near-impossible-to-see curios, and from Hollywood movies mislaid over time to global arthouse treasures waiting to emerge into the spotlight. We hope that you’ll dive in, discover some fantastic films and, perhaps, end up finding some hidden gems of your own on the journey.
