The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% “The world of The Girl with the Needle is a sinister one, where husbands can disappear in the war without a trace, and you can be thrown out of your home or your job with a moment’s notice...one of the year’s hardest watches and also one of its very best.” – Seventh Row Mar 5, 2025 Full Review When Fall Is Coming (2024) 95% “François Ozon’s latest confection, When Fall is Coming, is the rare film centred on the perspective of a retired octogenarian, Michelle (the marvelous Hélène Vincent), and her relationship with her grandson (Garlan Erlos). ” – Seventh Row Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Langue Étrangère (2024) 83% “Burger sensitively tackles teenage alienation, mental health, and sexual fluidity with tenderness and a propulsive pace...If it gets a little messy in the latter section, that’s partly by design because it thoughtfully deals with messy issues.” – Seventh Row Mar 5, 2025 Full Review The Quiet Son (2024) 50% “The actors do their best with weak material that never probes too deeply into not just the characters’ psychology but the systems around them that shape their behaviour. ” – Seventh Row Mar 5, 2025 Full Review This Life of Mine (2024) 85% “Fillières’ hugely witty and very funny film tells Barberie’s story of trying to find a new lease on life with tenderness and aplomb.” – Seventh Row Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Crocodile Tears (2024) “An impressive debut film from Indonesian filmmaker Tumpal Tampubolon, Crocodile Tears is a horror-inflected story of a too-close relationship between a mother and her adult son...who is trying to break free from her clutches.” – Seventh Row Mar 5, 2025 Full Review No Other Land (2024) 100% 4/5 “Collaboratively made with multiple directors, the powerful, urgent, and incisive No Other Land serves as an excellent introduction to the Israeli settler-colonial state in Palestine...The panoply of perspectives...is its greatest strength and weakness.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% 3/5 “Like a lesser Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Lavendar Hill Mob is lightly class-conscious about the desperation for money in post-war Britain, relies heavily on the immensely talented Guinness’s performance, is queer-coded, and a highly amusing caper.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Shoeshine (1946) 100% 4/5 “[Shoeshine] is still resonant, humanist, and infuriating today. It’s the story of a friendship torn apart by the cruel and indifferent adult world that cares little for children and less for the challenges of post-war poverty. ” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review July Rhapsody (2002) 93% “Ann Hui’s July Rhapsody is a melodrama about marital discord with a light touch, where both partners explore other relationships.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Here (2023) 94% 5/5 “Bas Devos’s exquisite film of urban wanderings...is a quietly feel-good film of existential ponderings and fleeting connections.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Mambar Pierrette (2023) 100% “Like her documentaries, Mambar Pierrette is not just a character portrait but a look at how colonialism continues to affect the lives of everyone in the country in ways big and small.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Green Border (2023) 93% “Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border is an urgent, fiercely political film about the ongoing migrant crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border... [the] film is inherently humanist and weaves a portrait of the complexities of the problem for everyone involved. ” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World (2023) 97% “A brutal and thoughtful critique of how capitalism destroys lives and bodies and then forces us to become complicit in the destruction of others...[Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World] is hugely inventive film as only Jude can deliver. ” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Music (2023) 81% “Angela Schanelec continues her exploration with loose adaptations of classic texts...Schanelec is an incredible director of bodies in space: she is so attentive to how characters move and are placed within the frame and with respect to each other.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Fancy Dance (2023) 96% “One of the best films at Sundance 2023...Tremblay develops the [central] pair’s background and deep relationship, the importance of family, the land, and Indigenous dance, as well as the challenges of navigating life under settler colonialism.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% “I’ve spent more time thinking about Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers than most movies...this year...[especially] Josh O’Connor’s scene-stealing performance [which] elevates every scene partner and Luca Guadagnino’s impeccable blocking and directing” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% “[La Chimera] plays like a fairy tale and a bit of a caper, but O’Connor adds depth to this conflicted man who isn’t sure if he wants to start a new chapter of life or stay frozen in his grief.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Nowhere Special (2020) 100% “This warm and tender film that manages to be a feel-good movie, which only occasionally dips into sentimentality amidst the tragic subject matter.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Julie Keeps Quiet (2024) 91% “The film is about coping with what happens when boundaries have been so irreparably breached you don’t even know what is appropriate anymore. Tennis, with its carefully outlined court and rules about what is in and out of bounds, is an excellent metaphor.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Winter in Sokcho (2024) “Japanese-French filmmaker Koya Kamura’s impressive feature debut, Winter in Sokcho, is a story about a place, a young woman’s search for identity and place in the world, and a brief encounter between a visiting French artist and a Korean hotel worker. ” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review My Father's Daughter (2024) “Egil Pederson’s My Father’s Daughter begins with a sort of Looking for Eric premise before expanding into a very thoughtful, often funny, coming-of-ager about the search for identity and the impossibility of ever really finding it.” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review A Missing Part (2024) “This sensitively made feature from Senez is a character study about a father who isn’t allowed to be a father, an unjust system that won’t allow joint custody, and the people caught within it. ” – Seventh Row Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 93% “The film’s conceit — [it] takes place in Grand Theft Auto gameplay – feels like a re-tread of 2022’s We Met in Virtual Reality...Although a neat idea, the film raises interesting questions that it never fully explores.” – Seventh Row Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Silent Trees (2024) “It’s a moving story, but its adherence to a similar structure as Flee makes it feel like a story we’ve heard. I’m glad to see more and more of these refugee stories.” – Seventh Row Jul 7, 2024 Full Review
