ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER WINS THE VANCOUVER FILM CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR BEST PICTURE OF 2025

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER WINS THE VANCOUVER FILM CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR BEST PICTURE OF 2025

The film also won the award to Best Supporting Make Actor (Sean Penn). Sinners also won two awards, Best Director and Best Screenplay.

The 26th Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards delivered a night of cinematic celebration at the VIFF Centre, crowning One Battle after Another as Best Picture. This gripping drama, which pits disillusioned revolutionaries against a deluded fascist manipulated by shadowy forces, not only claimed the top honor but also saw Sean Penn recognized as Best Supporting Male Actor for his powerful performance as a Christmas Adventurers Club applicant.

Meanwhile, the period horror box-office sensation Sinners emerged as a formidable contender, earning both Best Director and Best Screenplay awards for visionary filmmaker Ryan Coogler.

Just like last year with A Complete Unknown, Timothée Chalamet took home the Best Male Actor award, this time for his high-wire leading man act in Marty Supreme. In turn, the Best Female Actor award went to Jessie Buckley for her stirring portrait of a grief-stricken mother in Hamnet. Amy Madigan’s turn as Gladys, the woman at the centre of the mysterious disappearance of 17 third-grade children, earned her the award for Best Supporting Female Actor.

Rounding up the international winners, Iran’s It Was Just an Accident was named Best International Film in Non- English Language, while The Perfect Neighbor, a searing indictment of the stand-your-ground laws, received the award for Best Documentary.
