Ultimately it’s a fairly straightforward, slightly underwhelming demonstration of the banality of evil.

As in the worlds of Nicolas Winding Refn or Lucile Hadzihalilovic, atmosphere prevails over narrative prolixity. {Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 19, 2022

An ethical story in a context where is no ethic at all. Full review in Spanish

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2022

It's an understated, slow-burn thriller that never breaks out into action, remaining internalised and gnawingly nasty. And where it goes is viscerally haunting.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 10, 2022

It's one of the year's most cohesive films, and it holds up to repeated viewings.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 23, 2022

The story unfolds at a pace that might be too slow for some viewers, but it should hold the interest of viewers who are intrigued by how the worlds of politics and finance are intertwined.

If marinating in paranoia is your idea of a good time, Fontana's beautifully executed debut is as good as it gets.

| Dec 21, 2021

A suspenseful drama about the woes of the wealthy during times of political uncertainties in Argentina.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 4, 2021

A magnificent lesson on what should be seen on screen more often. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 17, 2021

Conceptually, Azor, is brilliant and its dreamlike editing that joins one meeting to the next with little connective tissue is often intriguing. But as a viewing experience, it is roundly obtuse with a repetitious, meandering narrative.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2021

Restraint and alarm are the film's keynotes, with a hint of wry black comedy in every exchange.

| Nov 13, 2021

"Azor" is a film of impeccably polished facades capable of concealing horrors.

| Original Score: A | Nov 13, 2021

The feeling of uneasy dread grows throughout this memorable film: it is palpable but is never explained.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 5, 2021

Fontana's movie gives us a precise account of a society's codes of conduct - and a vague, disquieting sense of the corruption behind it all.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2021

Fontana's sinewy debut teems with unseen threat. He crafts an atmosphere of grubbiness despite all the polished surfaces.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2021

It's a fine film, with a bleak message about how capitalism will thrive in just about any circumstance.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 29, 2021

As with the concealing language of the dictatorship, death is everywhere, just not on screen.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 29, 2021

This superb debut feature from Andreas Fontana puts an ingenious spin on the paranoid thriller: its main character is determined to behave as if he isn't in one.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 28, 2021

Fontana models the surface of the film after Yvan: assertively calm. But the unease thrums, brilliantly evoked - as if in every scene, something nightmarish was always just out of shot. It is.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 28, 2021

A genuinely mysterious journey into the heart of darkness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 27, 2021
