Black Bag (2025)
Metacritic’s seventh best-reviewed film from the first half of 2025, Black Bag is a gripping spy drama from Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh.
Two-time Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender and two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett co-star as legendary intelligence agents George Woodhouse and his beloved wife, Kathryn. When Kathryn is suspected of betraying the nation, George faces the ultimate test: loyalty to his marriage or his country.
Also look out for 2025 BAFTA winner Marisa Abel (Industry), Oscar nominee Naomie Harris (No Time To Die), Emmy nominee Regé-Jean Page (Bridgerton), Gustav Skarsgård (Floki in Vikings), and Pierce Brosnan (James Bond in The World Is Not Enough).
Black Bag has a 96% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with ScreenDaily praising it as “highly entertaining from start to finish.”
