In the Lost Lands (2025) 24% 3/ 5 “This cinematic escapade feels like a relic from an era when spectacle could mask shallow storytelling. While In the Lost Lands offers fleeting glimpses of brilliance and Bautista’s earnest performance is commendable...” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 3.5/ 5 “The film manages to carve out a unique space in the action-comedy genre. It is violent, absurd, and oddly tender—a film that leaves its protagonist numb but ensures the audience feels every punch, cringe, and chuckle...” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 65% 3/5 “The script, written by Michael Arlen Ross, struggles to sustain the tension over its 95-minute runtime. What starts as a clever cat-and-mouse game soon turns repetitive, circling the same beats with diminishing returns.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% 3.5/5 “Emilia Pérez is a film that thrives on contradiction— grave yet surreal, profound yet playful. It is both an ambitious work of reinvention and a narrative balancing act that occasionally wobbles under its sheer complexity.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 10, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% 3/5 “Perkins, fresh off the success of Longlegs, wields his darkly comic sensibilities like a scalpel, cutting between supernatural horror, macabre family drama, and outright farce. The film leans into absurdism, fashioning its deaths as punchlines rather than” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 3/5 “Bong’s signature critique of capitalism, inequality, and human folly is ever-present but curiously toothless. Where Parasite was razor-sharp in its dissection of class structures, Mickey 17 leans on familiar dystopian tropes without adding much...” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 3.5/ 5 “The film spoon-feeds its ideological conflicts, ensuring no subtext remains unspoken. The result is a beautifully crafted but ultimately surface-level narrative—one that titillates more than it challenges.” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Dhoom Dhaam (2025) 60% 2.5/ 5 “The film lacks both dhoom (explosive energy) and dhaam (substantial impact). It’s a film that flirts with thrills but never fully commits, dances around romance without setting the screen ablaze, and delivers action that’s more theatrical...” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 3/5 “While Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson confidently wields the shield, the movie struggles to carry its weight, landing somewhere between an ambitious political thriller and a standard superhero outing.” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 3/ 5 “Anchored by a fearless Nicole Kidman, the film flutters between desire and control, but its refusal to embrace the messiness of either keeps it from delivering the gut punch it promises.” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 3.5 “Corbet’s directorial choices are unapologetically bold, from the film’s sweeping orchestral score to its arresting, near-mythic imagery. Yet for all its spectacle, the film is at its best in the quiet moments—the intensity of a gaze, the hesitation in ...” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Storyteller (2022) 3.5/ 5 “The film is an earnest, well-intentioned homage to Ray, storytelling, and the art of listening. Like Tarini’s tales, it meanders, digresses, and occasionally dazzles” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 3.5/ 5 “Writer-director Drew Hancock in his feature debut, delivers a darkly comedic and thoroughly entertaining thriller that is as much a meditation on autonomy as it is a blood-spattered joyride through the pitfalls of artificial intelligence.” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 7, 2025 Full Review The Mehta Boys (2024) 100% 3.5/ 5 “The film is a commendable debut for Irani as a filmmaker. It captures the fragile, infuriating, and deeply human bond between fathers and sons with sincerity, making its bittersweet ending land with quiet grace” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Hisaab Barabar (2024) 3.5/ 5 “This film is akin to an imperfect ledger—its calculations don’t always add up, but its intent is unmistakably honest. Despite its flaws, it’s worth giving this moral arithmetic a shot.” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 31, 2025 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% 4/5 “The Film is a poignant and timely exploration of power, trust, and repression. With its masterful direction, strong performances, and raw portrayal of Iran’s political climate, the film leaves a lasting impact, ” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 31, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 3.5/ 5 “Director Jesse Eisenberg masterfully navigates the treacherous terrain of historical trauma and familial dysfunction, balancing sardonic humour with piercing solemnity... The result is a film as uncomfortably awkward as it is disarmingly poignant.” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Flight Risk (2025) 30% 2/5 “The film lives up to its name—not as a suspenseful ride, but as a gamble on whether audiences will stay invested. For those looking for edge-of-your-seat thrills, it’s better to skip this flight altogether” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 4/5 “The film’s triumph lies in its tone, balancing terror and tragedy. Avoiding camp, it crafts a slow-burning dread that culminates in a horrifying, heartbreaking finale. This Nosferatu transcends Dracula’s tale, becoming a meditation on desire, death, and..” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 11, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 62% 2 “Writer-director Christian Gudegast’s attempt to meld the gritty cop drama with European heist glamour falls as flat as an overcooked soufflé.” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 11, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3/5 “A visually stunning, occasionally moving, and predictably safe addition to the Lion King universe, this prequel might make you nostalgic for the original—don’t expect it to dethrone it” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 3/5 “Despite some entertaining moments, Kraven the Hunter feels like a predator that’s lost its edge—competent in parts but fundamentally lacking in purpose and personality” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 85% 3/5 “The film is a high-octane, unapologetically goofy romp that doesn’t take itself too seriously” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Girls Will Be Girls (2024) 100% 3.5/ 5 “he film doesn’t settle for easy answers. It’s a slow burn, richly textured and unapologetically messy, much like the process of growing up itself.” – Free Press Journal (India) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous (2024) 2.5 “Overall, this film isn’t just a documentary; it’s a reclamation. It successfully showcases the man behind the beats. As an artist's confession and a celebration of survival, the film is flawed but fiercely personal—much like its protagonist.” – Free Press Journal (India) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review
