Holy Cow (2024) 97% 4/5 “A moving and humorous coming-of-age story which is told with brio, avoiding the usual divots of social realism misery.” – Time Out Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% 8/10 “There are no backstories, no dramatic confrontations, no escalation. There's just a game heading into the gathering twilight.” – Next Best Picture Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Love (2024) 90% 7/10 “Haugerud is fascinated by his characters and lets his actors carry the weight of the film, allowing them time to explore, express themselves, and challenge each other in ways that don’t lead to conflict. ” – Next Best Picture Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Broken Rage (2024) 86% 9/10 “With so many older directors presenting their late works at buttock-punishing lengths, Beat Takeshi (77 years old) has decided enough is as good as a feast. And what a wise idea that is.” – Next Best Picture Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Russians at War (2024) 6/10 “Atrocities aren’t just accusations; they are well-documented events. And giving herself the apolitical task of humanizing the ordinary soldier, Trofimova seems unaware that being apolitical isn’t an option in a time of war. ” – Next Best Picture Sep 10, 2024 Full Review To Kill A Mongolian Horse (2024) 7/10 “Fans of Chloe Zhao's 2017 film "The Rider" will find much to like in -- and many similarities with -- "To Kill a Mongolian Horse," with its mourning of a culture eroded by modernism.” – Next Best Picture Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 4/5 “We're left with the tragedy of a broken man in a world only interested in sensationalism. It's a big swing for all involved, but all the better for it.” – Time Out Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Kensuke's Kingdom (2023) 97% 4/5 “There are moments of real splendour, especially in the evocations of the seascapes and the island.” – Times (UK) Aug 2, 2024 Full Review A Story of Bones (2022) 83% 4/5 “A Story of Bones is of global historical significance, told at a human level that will at once move and outrage you.” – Times (UK) Aug 2, 2024 Full Review I Saw the 온라인카지노추천 Glow (2024) 84% 4/5 “[A] richly entertaining though deeply melancholic work.” – Times (UK) Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Robin and the Hoods (2024) 2/5 “The cast are game but the story is predictable and the director, Phil Hawkins, never quite manages to convincingly move between the imaginative fantasy of the kids and actual life.” – Times (UK) Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Sister Midnight (2024) 96% 7/10 “Kandahari’s punkish verve rarely lags, but his Mumbai-based marriage comedy does. One wants to implore him to take a minute and catch his breath as he struggles to escape the gravity of his film’s forceful influences.” – Next Best Picture Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 100% 7/10 ““Viet and Nam” will have its admirers while at the same time being too esoteric for most cinema-goers. It occupies the middle ground between the extremes of slow cinema and a conventional-paced drama.” – Next Best Picture May 30, 2024 Full Review Ernest Cole: Lost and Found (2024) 97% 8/10 “Partly, it is an act of resurrection, simply by allowing viewers to see so many of Cole’s photographs – works that are alive with narrative and incident.” – Next Best Picture May 29, 2024 Full Review It Doesn't Matter (2024) 6/10 “It’s as if the director, Josh Mond (“James White”), and his collaborators have decided on certain criteria to guarantee the “real” – boredom and griminess high among them. ” – Next Best Picture May 27, 2024 Full Review Grand Tour (2024) 91% 8/10 “It's not your typical linear storytelling but a challenging art house film that rewards those willing to take the meandering, occasionally demanding journey with luminous moments of great beauty and inventive wit.” – Next Best Picture May 23, 2024 Full Review The Surfer (2024) 87% 7/10 “Nicolas Cage is hysterical as the male hysteric. The smooth naturalism and charisma of his first appearance is gradually worn away to then be built back up to vertiginous levels of indifferences.” – Next Best Picture May 22, 2024 Full Review Savages (2024) 100% 8/10 “This is precisely the sort of film modern audiences need in a time of this deep environmental crisis, and it is to the credit of the scriptwriters Barras, Catherine Paillé, Morgan Navarro, and Nancy Huston that they don’t offer any palliative compromises.” – Next Best Picture May 21, 2024 Full Review An Unfinished Film (2024) 73% 8/10 “"An Unfinished Film” feels like the first of a second wave of COVID movies, those that will deal not just with the pandemic but also with our memory of it and the consequences that have since played out.” – Next Best Picture May 18, 2024 Full Review Green Border (2023) 93% 4/5 “A powerful and necessary film.” – CineVue Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% 4/5 “Linklater’s Hit Man is an Aperol Spritz with enough fizz and prosecco to cover the taste of the strychnine. This could be one of the brightest dark comedies of recent times.” – CineVue Sep 7, 2023 Full Review The Universal Theory (2023) 70% 4/5 “The Theory of Everything earns the distinction that, despite the possible looseness of its title and concept, it is most definitely “something”. In the midst of a relativistic quantum universe, that in itself is a miracle.” – CineVue Sep 7, 2023 Full Review The Summer with Carmen (2023) 88% 3/5 “The Summer with Carmen exudes an authentic charm in its deliberation on how we eventually deduce the difference between defining who or what we really want vs. what we’ve been taught to expect based on whatever labels are placed upon us. ” – CineVue Sep 7, 2023 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% 3/5 “Fassbender looks lean and mean, but for all his monologuing he has the depth of a non-player character. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a mission gone right. It certainly has its moments, but The Killer feels like a Netflix film through and through.” – CineVue Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 93% 5/5 “Greek weird wave director Yorgos Lanthimos hits his stride with his strangest yet most deeply satisfying comedy fable yet.” – CineVue Sep 5, 2023 Full Review
