August 2025 spotlights an overlooked Ron Howard suspense film you shouldn't miss.
In the world of cinema, August 2025 promises an exciting lineup of releases. Two highly anticipated movies, "Highest 2 Lowest" and "Eden", are set to hit theaters, with "Highest 2 Lowest" starring Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, ASAP Rocky, and Ice Spice, and "Eden" featuring Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, and Sydney Sweeney.
Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's collaboration on "Highest 2 Lowest" is slated for release in theaters on August 15, while the exact release date for "Eden" is yet to be announced. "Highest 2 Lowest" is a reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 Japanese film, "High and Low".
For those who appreciate music and cinema, the month of August also brings the release of a documentary titled "It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley". This film explores the life of the late Jeff Buckley, from his complicated upbringing to his emergence as a renowned artist. The documentary features never-before-seen footage of Buckley and interviews with those who knew him best. "It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley" is a touching tribute to the talented artist whose life ended tragically in 1997.
The documentary is set to open in theaters on August 8, the same day as the release of "It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley", a movie that is one of three underrated movies this month. Jeff Buckley gained fame for his cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, which is considered one of the greatest albums of all time. In 1994, he released his first studio album, Grace, which received universal acclaim.
"Highest 2 Lowest" will only be in theaters for three weeks before moving to streaming on Apple TV+ starting September 5. "Eden", on the other hand, was acquired for U.S. distribution by Vertical Entertainment after premiering at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
In "Eden", a husband and wife duo move to the Galápagos Islands, where they encounter another couple and a baroness, leading to a classic thriller trope where people are their own worst enemies. The exact release date for "Eden" is yet to be announced, but movie enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for this suspenseful drama.
With Spike Lee and Ron Howard both releasing movies this month, August 2025 is shaping up to be a memorable month for cinema lovers.
