Ari (2025)
5/10
““Ari” functions well as both a character study and a portrait of 21st-century anxiety, and it’s possible that younger audiences may get more out of it in that respect. However, the structure and storytelling remain frustratingly vague” –

Olmo (2025)
8/10
““Olmo” is a bittersweet little gem from this year’s Berlinale. It’s a beautifully directed and acted coming-of-age story that deserves to find a wider audience. Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait another twelve years for Eimbcke’s next film.” –

“In fairness, the story builds to a terrific ending, but the film does a lot of treading water to get there, and there is a baffling lack of narrative progression for the most part. Ultimately, “Hot Milk” is a bit too obtuse for its own good” –
