The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% “A curiously cautious example of the comeback machine at work, barely getting under the sequins, let alone the skin, of a bittersweet price-of-glamour story” – Sight & Sound Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Happyend (2024) 94% “Japanese director Neo Sora is no catastrophist: the vision of dystopia he puts forth in his coolly compelling first fiction feature Happyend is chilling precisely because it won’t take some thunderous armageddon to bring it about.” – Variety Sep 23, 2024 Full Review 2073 (2024) 48% “Agitprop is rarely designed to rouse anyone’s rational and decent impulses yet it’s hard to think of a better term to describe Kapadia’s polemical approach. It’s too easy for noble intentions to get lost when there are grievous lapses in judgement.” – Variety Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Diva Futura (2024) “What may have been charmingly unworldly in a man becomes disingenuously simplistic in a film that refuses to really look into the forces that propelled his giddy rise and blameless fall.” – Variety Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 (2024) 54% “It is an exercise in contradictions: incident-packed yet oddly sedate; replete with characters new and returning, yet largely lacking in compelling characterization; and, running to over three hours, simply too long a film to be so jarringly abrupt.” – Variety Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Sicilian Letters (2024) “This is a strangely self-defeating film, jumping at themes that remain beyond its imaginative reach, and when they prove elusive, masking the resultant stumble with a joke. ” – Variety Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Vermiglio (2024) 93% “The remarkable, raw-boned and ravishing Vermiglio takes place in the past but operates like a future family secret playing out in the present tense, a perspective that is not quite Godlike, but comes from that which we might as well call God.” – Variety Sep 3, 2024 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% “Classical in form but radical in empathy, I'm Still Here arguably does not need the follow-up sections that somewhat alter the emotional rhythm. But on the other hand, these characters are so vivid that we don't want to leave them either.” – Variety Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Second Chance (2024) “This is a remarkably accomplished debut feature.” – New York Times Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Panopticon (2024) “Panopticon may not have quite the all-seeing eye its title implies, but its gaze is piercing and sharp and strange.” – Variety Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Windless (2024) “Vesnakov, abetted by some extraordinary shotmaking from DP Orlin Ruevski, has hit on a stylistic approach of such burningly poetic intensity that later scenes of a nighttime bonfire feel like inevitable catharsis.” – Variety Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Pierce (2024) “As with many thrillers, there are certain obvious narrative mechanics employed to produce the requisite suspense. But “Pierce” is clad in such elegant filmmaking that we mostly cannot see the gears grind.” – Variety Jul 15, 2024 Full Review She's Got No Name (2024) “It is the setting, rather than the sincere but only tentatively feminist storyline, that will likely give this handsome, lengthy movie its international appeal.” – Variety Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Niki (2024) 29% “It’s a shame that Sallette’s film, ultimately conventional despite some stylish split-screen and Le Bon’s intricate performance, couldn’t have been just a little inspired by the same spirit of iconoclasm.” – Variety May 30, 2024 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 100% “Viet and Nam makes demands on even the most patient of viewers if they’re in any way resistant to the hypnotizing effect of its difficult, doom-laden atmospherics. But it does exert a powerful gravity on those who can give themselves over.” – Variety May 29, 2024 Full Review Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) 90% “It’s more fairy tale than scary tale. It is, however, a fine showcase for the witchy charisma of star Sara Montpetit.” – Variety May 29, 2024 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% “While it may initially appear to be straightforward, nobody could ever accuse this increasingly twisted psychodrama of playing it straight. ” – Variety May 28, 2024 Full Review The Story of Souleymane (2024) 100% “If the hero's dire situation is a ticking clock, Lojkine's intelligent and empathetic film places us right alongside him, with each cog of circumstance and each gear of good fortune grinding against him at every turn. ” – Variety May 28, 2024 Full Review All We Imagine as Light (2024) 100% “Just two features into her young career, Kapadia has established her rare talent for finding passages of exquisite poetry within the banal blank verse of everyday Indian life. ” – Variety May 24, 2024 Full Review The Other Way Around (2024) 92% “Trueba has drawn a funny little valentine, shot through by a bright, sharp arrow of feeling.” – Variety May 23, 2024 Full Review Grand Tour (2024) 91% “An enchanting, enlivening, era-spanning, continent-crossing travelogue that runs the very serious risk of infecting you with the antidote: a potent dose of wanderlust-for-life.” – Variety May 22, 2024 Full Review Black Dog (2024) 97% “Guan’s approach gives the scenes of violence or tragedy a certain antic, Buster Keaton quality, which is enhanced by both Peng’s impassive yet physically expressive performance, and that of his wonderful canine co-star. ” – Variety May 22, 2024 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% “Its pearls of practical wisdom and jewels of melancholic wit make “Eephus” a gem, which is fitting, for a movie about a game played on a diamond. ” – Variety May 21, 2024 Full Review Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie (2024) 65% “Given all its omissions and elisions, and the sense of coolness-cosplay that permeates this noisy but lifeless film, “Limonov” might not be a total misapprehension of... Eduard Limonov, but it is at least a mispronunciation.” – Variety May 20, 2024 Full Review Caught by the Tides (2024) 97% ““Tides” exerts its own inexorable pull, and as a mid-career moment of transcendence for Jia, it feels less like a grace note than an act of liberation.” – Variety May 19, 2024 Full Review
