MoviePeek Letterboxd isn’t just a review site — it’s Gen Z’s emotional diary.
In 2025, the Letterboxd Top 50 isn’t about box office hits. It’s about vibes. It’s about trauma. It’s about movies that make you feel something — even if that something is existential dread.
Leading the pack is Friendship, a quiet drama about two teens navigating grief and gender identity. It’s not flashy, but it’s real — and Gen Z is obsessed. TikTok edits of its final scene are everywhere, and the film’s Letterboxd reviews read like diary entries.
Also climbing the charts: The Life of Chuck, Companion, and One of Them Days. These films aren’t just good — they’re felt. They speak to anxiety, identity, and the weirdness of being alive in 2025.
Why it’s trending: Gen Z uses Letterboxd to log feelings, not just films. The Top 50 reflects that. It’s less about genre and more about emotional resonance. It’s cinema as therapy — and it’s beautiful.
Final Take: If you want to know what’s really resonating with young audiences, skip the critics and scroll Letterboxd. It’s raw, real, and refreshingly weird.
