THE BEST OF LFF 2025: ECHO'S TOP THREE FILM RECOMMENDATIONS FROM LAST WEEK!

We had the chance to see an exceptional lineup of films at the London Film Festival last week and left inspired by the creativity and talent on display across the industry. From the screenings we attended, here are three standout films we recommend checking out:

'ALPHA', from director Julia Ducournau, produced by Petit Film. It’s about a 13‑year‑old girl named Alpha who goes home from school with a tattoo, and soon after, her mother fears she may have caught a mysterious virus that’s turning people into marble‑like statues.

'THE BLUE TRAIL' directed by Zineb Wakrim and produced by Desvia Filmes about a young girl who navigates a tense day in Casablanca, quietly observing the world around her as unspoken tensions rise.

'BUGONIA', directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and produced by Element Pictures. Two conspiracy‑obsessed men kidnap a pharmaceutical CEO (played by Emma Stone), believing she is an alien who wants to destroy Earth. What follows is a dark, satirical game of psychological and moral unraveling.

We’re so excited to see what this week has in store for us!
