Hard Truths (2024) 95% “Mike Leigh and his collaborators, this time, the great Marianne Jean Baptiste as the lead, dig deeper into prevailing humanity underneath all the bitterness and hate. And it's a sight to see. ” – Floating World Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer (2024) 81% “Psycho Therapy plays out like a dark indie noir comedy from the 90s, which we don't see often nowadays. Tolga Karaçelik's writing is brimming with absurdist humor, keeping unnecessary expositions to a minimum.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Love Hotel (1985) “Sômai elevates the typical pinku melodrama premise into a heartfelt tale of two sad, lost souls in need of salvation in each other’s company. ” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Wild Diamond (2024) 79% “Agathe Riedinger creates great intimacy with documentary style camera work with the help of Malou Khebizi's incredibly natural, vulnerable performance in a soul-baring role. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Visiting Hours (2024) “Patricia Mazuy's women's empowerment story has similar dynamics with Claude Chabrol's Hitchcockian thrillers. It even starts with Alma shopping for flowers in a visually overloaded flower shop sequence reminiscent of Vertigo.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Meeting with Pol Pot (2024) 92% “Rithy Panh combines archival footage, rare projections, and dioramas with clay figures, along with scenes with actors to tell the story of what happens when an ideology overtakes its intent. It's a sobering, clear eyed film. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Israel Palestine on Swedish 온라인카지노추천 1958-1989 (2024) “If anything, this clear-eyed, 3 1/2-hour documentary gives the historical and political context to what is happening in Gaza right now. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Desert of Namibia (2024) “The dissociation is a dominant feature in the film. With handheld camera work and long takes in tiny spaces, Yamanaka expertly captures the intimacy and suffocation that Kana feels. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review 100,000,000,000,000 (2024) “As usual, Vernier examines the seedy underbelly of our shallow modern society, urban isolation, loneliness, and human connection in 100,000,000,000,000. Virgil Vernier remains one of the most interesting contemporary French directors working today. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Bonjour Tristesse (2024) 60% “In Chew-Bose's hand, this sun-drenched, French Riviera set fairy-tale-gone-wrong plays out like an elegant chamber piece, beautifully shot by Maximilian Pittner. She concentrates on the tender father-daughter relationship with a hint of sadness. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Being Maria (2024) 62% “Being Maria is a scathing rebuke to unchecked sexism that dominated the film industry for way too long, and a well-deserved portrayal of trailblazing actress/activist. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% “Think Misericordia as stripped down, depoliticized, working class Teorema where one person seduces everyone around him willingly or unwillingly. ” – Floating World Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Hysteria (2025) 91% “Büyükatalay has a knack for making an anxiety inducing thriller. But issues don't necessarily get solved themselves, even when they are screamed out loud for everyone to hear.” – ScreenAnarchy Feb 24, 2025 Full Review How to Be Normal and the Oddness of the Other World (2025) “How to be Normal asks big questions about what is perceived as normal when the world around us is insane. Pia, constantly under pressure to be normal, is trying to hold on to the idea of home and self-worth in the world constantly in turmoil.” – ScreenAnarchy Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Armand (2024) 75% “With the strong performance from Reinsve, Armand is a commendable first feature from a promising young director.” – Floating World Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% “When all said and done, Presence is not that memorable, just like any other Soderbergh film. Yes it's a cool small formalist genre exercise with the POV, but it's so devoid of any context that it leaves your head as soon as you leave the theater. ” – Floating World Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Thelma (2017) 92% “Trier tries on his first genre film. But instead of making a typical teen superhero flick, he portrays being adolescent truthfully - frightening sexuality: massive confusion where you can't trust your feelings nor your body & the terror of being in love. ” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Personal Shopper (2016) 81% “Hyper capitalism vs. Spirituality.” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review By the Time It Gets Dark (2016) 90% “Dostoevskian concept- like a tobacco leaves and fungi, to give them meaning and purpose, these layers Suwichakornpong presents will need to sit and rot. I am just amazed by her wisdom & skills to convey this kind of complicated thoughts through film.” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review JLG: Self Portrait in December (1995) “The year is 1993- The Bosnian War is still raging, the signing of the uneasy Oslo Accord after much bloodshed and injustices. European Union was formed. The film reflects Godard's contemplation on these matters and mortality, art and culture & cinema.” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Yourself and Yours (2016) 94% “Hong's interest is not in identity crisis or duality of men. His double takes and alternate scenarios may seem manipulative but the movie is more to do with accepting a person for who that person is. It's also got to do with men's folly. ” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review L'Immortelle (1969) “More so than Last Year at Marienbad, L'Immortelle plays with the images and its hidden meanings. A pair of woman's sandals, a caress of a neck, a view from a window - every shot becomes iconic and powerful.” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Toute une nuit (1982) “Night is a powerful equalizer - in the shadows, we can hide all our imperfections. In the shadows, night is also an enabler for those who act on their impulses. This is how I felt watching Toute une nuit. No one does loneliness like Akerman. ” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Malgré la nuit (2015) “It is perhaps the most narrative heavy Grandrieux film to date. But the images he presents here is still tour-de-force. The alienness of white human skins against darkness make strong visual impact & brings out visceral, emotional reaction from me.” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Summer (1986) 94% “Rohmer gently, beautifully sketches out a woman who suffers greatly from loneliness but too stubborn to be outgoing. The Green Ray makes me think about the relationships in the age of social media where everyone wears their emotions on their sleeves.” – Floating World Jan 22, 2025 Full Review
