Brand New Landscape (2025)
A-
“If an only twenty-something director can so deftly pull off some of the swings that Danzuka does with aplomb in his debut feature, the cinematic landscape of Japan has a very promising future.” –

“Pohu anchors the film’s emotional power even as some of the writing for his character and his family can verge on vexing vagueness rather than appealing ambiguity.” –

Cloud (2024)

4/5
“Playing like a slicker, more vicious riff on Ben Wheatley’s Mexican stand-off film, Free Fire, the climactic gunplay chaos is all the more chilling for the impotence ultimately behind so much of the rage being vented.” –

“When Fiennes and Binoche are centred, both solo and eventually reunited, the emotional charge is electric. It’s when anyone else is the focus that the slow-burn approach to the material proves inert.” –

“This is an open-hearted, playful and perceptive film that does achieve its own sort of magic in seeing just how far you can test the boundaries between metafiction and explicit documentary.” –

Super Happy Forever (2024)

“Super Happy Forever is gentle in pace but a knockout in terms of cumulative impact. It's a major work in a deceptively minor key.” –

“[It] resembles a great anime comedy show leaping to live-action with all its infectious silliness successfully translated – but crucially, with its heart still intact.” –

“Following a playful opening stretch before [its] inciting incident, Salles' film unfolds in a relatively unostentatious style and at an unhurried pace, which is of great benefit to Torres's intricate central performance.” –

“... It’s not that it’s a formulaic tale that comes across like a deliberate ploy to tempt investors in international film markets. Far from it, though there are certainly some telegraphed elements of predictability in this accomplished weepie.

“If some viewers can still cling onto The West Wing as a comfort watch... there’s something to be said for the appeal of a text offering the total flip side in its portrayal of centrism’s capabilities, especially one as full of punkish spirit as this.” –

“Kenji Kamiyama and his fellow anime veterans have produced great work before, but this uninspired expansion of the most iconic screen take on Tolkien doesn't allow anyone to show off what they can do best.

“Bong Joon Ho’s later Memories of Murder is an obvious comparison point, for its similar mix of incomplete mysteries and probing of institutional mechanisms. But Wei maintains a highly individual, slippery and fascinating artistic sensibility all his own.” –
