Vulcanizadora (2024)
98%
“With Vulcanizadora, Potrykus is asking us to consider the plight of the men who are living examples of detritus and refuse. [...] Vulcanizadora showed me how to find comedy in the horror of despair, and that is a minor miracle.” –

“The Order may not be as unsettling as Nitram, yet it does manage to subvert the familiar aspects of the thriller genre by forcing the audience to sit with the prominence of Nazism in our modern world. ” –

“With decades of stunt-work to his name, Leitch is in the unique position to present his thoroughly entertaining, albeit a little bit mindless, thesis as to why there desperately needs to be an Oscar category for stunts.” –

Before Dawn (2024)

“Before Dawn is so devoid of personality or point of view that it results in a film that has nothing to say on the subject of war[...]. It is, in its purest form, an anti anti-war film. ” –

Napoleon (2023)

“The greatest frustration with this version of Napoleon lies in how weightless an experience it is. While it’s steeped in death, it lacks a sense of tragedy, and while yearning is a key character trait of Napoleon, it lacks lust, desire, and passion. ” –
