A Minecraft Movie (2025)

“A Minecraft Movie recaptures the innocence that Steven Spielberg has lost, especially in his own overwrought gamer film Ready Player One. Who could guess that a movie starring Jack Black would not be irritating?” –

“After a career filled with surrealist audacity, Ozon settles for wise contemplation -- a new understated classicism that’s as erotic and startling as his familiar impudence.” –

Misericordia (2024)

“The strange understanding that Guiraudie extends is richer than any of Disney’s fake family fantasies. Guiraudie explores guilt, eccentricity, and desire that Disney is neither honest nor mature enough to entertain.” –

“LaBruce’s scandalous, profane, sexually graphic style uses pornographic tropes yet challenges the creative and political crises of conventional mainstream filmmakers. His remake is shocking in the best, truest sense.” –

The Empire (2024)

“Every Star Wars fan who has reached the age of consent should see Bruno Dumont’s The Empire. It’s a bizarre yet movingly humane satire that exposes the philosophical deficiencies of the movie genre that dominates global film culture.” –

“This isn’t the great movie the Olympic tragedy demands; that remains Spielberg’s Munich (2005). But September 5 is good enough to spark our curiosity about the meta aspect of 온라인카지노추천 news.” –

Emilia Pérez (2024)

“Audiard has referred to his script as a libretto, but Emilia Pérez stretches past operatic goofiness. Each aria-song, through middling Latin pop and rap hybrids, expresses the egomania of sociopaths.” –
