Seven films to see at Glasgow Film Festival 2025

Long Day's Journey Into Night
The perennially performed Eugene O’Neill play (Brian Cox starred in a recent West End production), attracts another starry cast with Jessica Lange and Ed Harris in the lead roles as the wedded couple grappling with a troubled past and tough present.
GFT, Friday 28 February.

Peaches Goes Bananas
This is the second of two documentaries to come out about the Canadian electroclash icon. Though Peaches dubs Marie Losier’s film less of a doc and more of a painting slash portrait.
GFT, Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 March.

Peacock
All Quiet On The Western Front’s Albrecht Schuch stars in this curio as a professional people-pleaser, whether it’s as a concert companion to a classical music lover or to help a man secure a lease on a new flat by pretending to be his partner. Inevitably, his professional and private lives come into conflict.
GFT, Sunday 2 & Monday 3 March.

Baby Assassins: Nice Days
Almost an annual GFF tradition, this third in the Baby Assassins series has our two reluctant hired killers (Akari Takaishi and Saori Izawa) plunged back into business when they join forces with a pair of more senior assassins for a peril-strewn job.
Cineworld, Monday 3 & Tuesday 4 March.

Four Mothers
This remake of a 2008 Italian comedy-drama stars James McArdle and Fionnula Flanagan. It revolves around an author on the brink of success who suddenly becomes prime carer of his mother and her ageing pals.
GFT, Monday 3 & Tuesday 4 March.

The End
Tilda Swinton, Lennie James and George MacKay are among the names in Joshua Oppenheimer’s narrative debut, a post-apocalyptic musical about a family that has hunkered down in a bunker away from the grimness outside.
GFT, Tuesday 4 & Wednesday 5 March.

Make It To Munich
Just months after cheating death when a car hit him in the US, young footballer Ethan Walker embarked on a cycle ride from Hampden to Munich for Scotland’s opening game against Germany in the 2024 Euros. This documentary tells the heartwarming tale.
GFT, Sunday 9 March.
