Henry Johnson (2025) 57% “If this schematic exercise doesn’t add up to anything terribly pointed or powerful, it nonetheless commands interest with the bristly concision of at least some dialogue, the economical (yet unstagy) filmmaking, and expert performances.” – 48 Hills May 16, 2025 Full Review The Old Woman with the Knife (2025) 94% “The sum effect is entertaining, yet in the end it’s just a hyperbolic, gimmicky popcorn film without the depth to make Hornclaw’s permanent alienation matter in emotional terms.” – 48 Hills May 16, 2025 Full Review Caught by the Tides (2024) 98% “s piecemeal as its construction may be, "Caught" ultimately has the epic grandeur and poignance of something much more than a film sewn together out of spare parts.” – 48 Hills May 16, 2025 Full Review Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted (2024) 100% “Among its many other virtues, "Gets His Pool Painted" underlines how much better the world would be if more people lived in such situations, bonded by professional and personal affinity.” – 48 Hills May 16, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 89% “This could easily have become a gratuitously nasty, mean-spirited film, but DeYoung keeps it oddly sprightly, juggling a unique tonal balance of satire (even Craig’s fantasies are punishingly banal), cringe, and empathy. ” – 48 Hills May 16, 2025 Full Review Words of War (2025) 68% “Despite Peake’s best efforts, her heroine comes off as a one-dimensional figure of brisk, corrective righteousness -- an archetype that seems very English.” – Variety May 16, 2025 Full Review Jimmy in Saigon (2022) 92% “A fascinating, if also somewhat frustrating, partial glimpse into a short life that covered its tracks pretty thoroughly.” – 48 Hills May 8, 2025 Full Review The Gullspång Miracle (2023) 95% “While its serpentine narrative leaves many questions still dangling, this "Miracle" still rewards the curiosity it stirs in bulk.” – 48 Hills May 8, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 73% “Clown in a Cornfield ultimately doesn’t have any fresh ideas to rise above the routine slashers it makes fun of. Like those films, it provides passable guilty-pleasure entertainment for 90 minutes or so, then evaporates from the brain.” – 48 Hills May 8, 2025 Full Review The Death of Snow White (2025) “A sort of fan-film magnum opus, impressively ambitious on limited means yet still not quite ready for prime time, feeling more like an especially elaborate amateur cosplay than a honed vision with its own distinctive style and ideas. ” – Variety May 2, 2025 Full Review Salvable (2025) 38% “Franklin & Marchetta have made a respectable first feature that is well-realized in every aspect -- save the earnest but mediocre basic material it ultimately fails to elevate. ” – Variety May 2, 2025 Full Review Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound (2024) “The casual enthusiast or newbie won’t come away with as much intel as you might’ve hoped. Still, "Stars" is a worthy tribute.” – 48 Hills May 2, 2025 Full Review Björk: Cornucopia (2025) “If you’re a fan, this high-end memento of an impressively imaginative multimedia package will be nirvana. ” – 48 Hills May 2, 2025 Full Review Blue Sun Palace (2024) 100% “Arguably overlong at two full hours for its very small, minutely observed story, "Palace" nonetheless has an air of patient poetry that turns the mundane into something melancholy, moving, and a bit spectral. ” – 48 Hills May 2, 2025 Full Review The Surfer (2024) 86% “Being sold as a simple vigilante thriller, this is in fact a much fancier package of slippery reality amplified both by Cage’s disheveled desperation and a full gamut of disorienting audiovisual devices. It’s not perfect, but it’s a trip.” – 48 Hills May 2, 2025 Full Review Bonjour Tristesse (2024) 65% “We ought to actually care about these people, but we don’t; it’s a decent-enough film that should have been better. ” – 48 Hills May 2, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% “Did the Pythons go on to make better films, as a group or individually? Maybe. But Holy Grail is peerless as a sustained goof, enlarging the sensibility of their 온라인카지노추천 skits to an epic canvas it simultaneously ridicules.” – 48 Hills May 2, 2025 Full Review The Cruel Sea (1953) 100% “Those that survive wrack up unforgettable experiences, both harrowing and heroic, though the film renders them all the more powerful for its unsentimental presentation. ” – 48 Hills May 1, 2025 Full Review Fréwaka (2024) 95% “If you’re up for a thriller more inclined to unsettle than goose you with jump scares, whose lesbian protagonists are taken refreshingly for granted, this stylishly eerie film is well worth a look.” – 48 Hills May 1, 2025 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 100% “You can’t say much “happens,” yet this very quiet film casts a considerable spell, ending on a particularly haunting note.” – 48 Hills May 1, 2025 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 51% “I found it engrossing, the appealing performers and handsome production milking another epoch’s nostalgia value while making it clear that the American Dream wasn’t accessible to everybody then. Has it ever been? ” – 48 Hills May 1, 2025 Full Review Queens of Drama (2024) 82% “A splashy, trashy, high-gloss wallow in selfie-centric melodrama which might well seem awesome to someone half or one-third my age.” – 48 Hills May 1, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 95% “As satire gradually gives way to sadism, I found "Stepsister" more unpleasant than anything, though it’s an impressively accomplished debut feature. ” – 48 Hills May 1, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 75% “Elegantly crafted, initially intriguing enough, The Shrouds grows talky and convoluted over two full hours’ course. It hands its actors unplayable dialogue, and suspense stubbornly refuses to materialize. ” – 48 Hills May 1, 2025 Full Review Dead Mail (2024) 93% “An effective, twisty thriller with a singular edge of off-kilter black comedy.” – Variety Apr 18, 2025 Full Review
