The Killer Goldfish (2024)
2/5
“This is probably [Tsutsumi's] strangest film to date, its full-on, rapid fire style combining with a wild and not always coherent plot to exhaust most viewers in the first 15 minutes.” –

Vulcanizadora (2024)

4.5/5
“Although its characters are middle aged, their childish games in the first half signal a kind of coming of age; and yet unlike most films on that theme, which end when childhood is left behind, it keeps us there to explore what it means to be an adult.” –

“The beautiful cinematography, the bluesy jazz score and the gentle pace of the film are beguiling, but Masciari makes sure that we don’t lose sight of the ridiculous.” –

“There’s a good deal of depth and nuance to these relationships as Blichfeldt uses them to illustrate how a society which makes women dependent on men magnifies ever petty disagreement and sets them at odds with one another.” –
