How Deep is Your Love (2025) “A warm, approachable entry in the growing eco-documentary subgenre that should net considerable distributor interest on the strength of its plaintive environmental message and its frequently dazzling imagery.” – Variety Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Beginnings (2025) “As a recovery story, “Beginnings” is pleasingly challenging, avoiding easy breakthroughs to foreground the external and internal exhaustion of fighting a body that no longer feels entirely your own.” – Variety Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Ancestral Visions of the Future (2025) ““An ode to cinema,” meanwhile, is a superfluous description for a project that is cinema, in its most stimulating and image-rich form, inviting viewers to make what connections they will between sight and sound.” – Variety Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Timestamp (2025) “There’s devastation aplenty in “Timestamp,” of course, but also a bright beam of hope that feels both unforced and hard-earned.” – Variety Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Wind, Talk to Me (2025) “Wind, Talk to Me might seem outwardly challenging to audiences with its gently trickling pace and malleable point of view. But its warm humor and relatable family dynamics should secure it a devoted following on the festival circuit.” – Variety Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Guo Ran (2025) “The film proves a stealth tearjerker despite the stoic composure of Li’s filmmaking and a precise, achingly contained lead performance by Manxuan Li.” – Variety Mar 17, 2025 Full Review The Devil Smokes (2025) “A commendably thorny, disorienting psychological drama, conceptually akin to Kore-eda’s “Nobody Knows” by way of Erice’s “The Spirit of the Beehive” -- not the crowdpleasing coming-of-ager one might expect given its premise and winsome principals.” – Variety Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Yunan (2025) “As a mellow, slow-burning study of cross-cultural human connection, the film is quietly rewarding; a folkloric parallel strand, mapping the protagonist’s journey onto his native heritage, is less successful.” – Variety Feb 25, 2025 Full Review After This Death (2025) “Much credit for After This Death succeeding as well as it does is owed to Castro’s compatriot and leading lady Mia Maestro, an intelligent, grounding presence who lends proceedings the right balance of skepticism and credulity.” – Variety Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Dreams (2024) 100% “Haugerud’s writing is consistently surprising and elastic in its reach, as it picks out common insecurities and gaping ideological differences between three generations of women -- but reserves its most piercing compassion for the youngest of them. ” – Variety Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Late Shift (2025) “In its cool, propulsive procedural tracking of ward activity, Late Shift quite sufficiently makes its point regarding the monumental challenge and value of Floria’s work, and that of thousands like her.” – Variety Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Kontinental '25 (2025) 100% “Atop its devastating human portraiture, Kontinental ’25 functions as a snapshot of a city as fragmented and anguished as Rossellini’s Rome: Jude’s take on neo-realism, if you will, for an absurdist age.” – Variety Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Ari (2025) “Light on plot in the conventional sense -- but holds attention with staggered revelations that feel less like conveniently withheld narrative gambits than a person gradually taking stock of their past and present. ” – Variety Feb 19, 2025 Full Review The Best Mother in the World (2025) “An uneven balance of grainy social realism and crowd-pleasing uplift, but Cruz’s resolute performance just about holds it together.” – Variety Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Sex (2024) “Haugerud’s sly comedy addresses various crises of modern masculinity with a light, humane touch, finding more curiosity than toxicity in its workaday characters -- and making a case for seemingly aberrant desires and impulses as an everyday fact of life.” – Variety Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Living the Land (2025) “Though it’s gently paced and narratively diffuse, “Living the Land” is never dull, thanks to a wealth of incident and the complexity of relationships in Huo’s extended family portrait.” – Variety Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Little Trouble Girls (2025) “This is a striking statement of intent from its Slovenian writer-director -- there’s an airy delicacy here that invites comparisons to early Céline Sciamma, but with its own raw, restless edge.” – Variety Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Raptures (2025) ““Raptures” indulges enough morbid fascination with its characters’ unhinged behavior to draw a curious arthouse audience, who should also be attracted by the less provocative pleasures of the film’s elegant craftsmanship.” – Variety Feb 11, 2025 Full Review 2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025) 95% ““Andriivka” is a less tersely journalistic and more pensively devastating work than “Mariupol”: a film of its moment, and an agonizingly extended moment at that.” – Variety Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Sauna (2025) 91% “On occasion, the film underlines its wider social points with a heavy hand, though there’s sensual fluency and delicacy here too.” – Variety Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Sugar Babies (2025) 40% “The result, not unlike Autumn herself, is restless and erratic, sometimes engaging but often adrift. That’s a disappointment from Fleit, whose 2023 doc “Bama Rush” was a more dynamic smartphone snapshot of Gen-Z womanhood.” – Variety Feb 6, 2025 Full Review The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (2025) 79% “Olivero’s riveting performance mingles entitled teenage petulance with darker reserves of rage... Casabé’s direction likewise balances keen coming-of-age observations with a stranger, more inchoate sense of a world slipping out of order. ” – Variety Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% “Osit’s brilliant, subtly needling film leaves us unnerved and alert, but not certain of our convictions -- an outcome, perhaps, that more true-crime programming should pursue.” – Variety Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Sukkwan Island (2025) 45% “An evocative but incomplete [adaptation], though the grace of its assembly, and of Swann Arlaud and Woody Norman’s excellent performances, should attract international arthouse buyers.” – Variety Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Brides (2025) 83% “Nadia Fall‘s debut feature seems on the surface like a hot-button provocation, but it’s surprisingly humane and good-humored in its attempt to understand the individual lives behind a sensational headline issue.” – Variety Jan 26, 2025 Full Review
