The best Jewish TV and film to watch in 2025

The Brutalist

A24’s highly acclaimed period epic, The Brutalist, follows visionary Jewish architect László Tóth who arrives in America to rebuild his life, work and marriage after surviving the Holocaust. Picking up seven 2025 Golden Globe nominations, including a win for Jewish actor Adrien Brody (The Pianist) who plays Tóth, this ambitious masterpiece – shot on rarely seen 70mm film and running for three and a half hours – is an extraordinary tribute to the immigrant experience. Watch it in cinemas.

A Complete Unknown

Set in New York’s iconic music scene of the early 1960s, this biographical musical follows 19-year-old Jewish-American musician Bob Dylan (played by Jewish actor Timothée Chalamet) as he rises from a yet-to-be-discovered folk singer to a global sensation – culminating with Dylan’s revolutionary performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Watch it in cinemas.

Anora

Filmmaker Sean Baker wrote the movie Anora with Jewish actress Mikey Madison (Lady in the Lake, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) in mind to play the lead. The Palme d’Or winning comedy-drama centres on the beleaguered marriage between a young sex worker (Madison) and the son of a Russian oligarch. Watch it in cinemas.
