Filipiñana (2026) EDIT “Filipiñana could have benefited from a little more story and a little less contemplation. But some of its images remain embedded in the memory.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 25, 2026 Full Review American Doctor (2026) EDIT “What makes American Doctor stand out is how it eschews the bigger picture to focus primarily on the practical, and often hard-to-watch, reality of surgeons trying to save lives in the operating room. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 25, 2026 Full Review American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (2026) EDIT “Understanding the life and work of Luis Valdez is a way to broaden one’s understanding of what it means to be American, perhaps now more than ever. Watching this enlightening and entertaining documentary is a good way to start.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Remake (2025) EDIT “The most courageous thing McElwee does in this latest, heartbreaking work is to keep on filming even during the worst of times, not to make them stop but to make us remember. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Jimmy Jaguar (2025) EDIT “Jimmy Jaguar is a horror movie without explicit horror. It’s as if censors came in to cut out anything that could result in an R rating, leaving us the eerie remnants of what may have happened.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review A Second Life (2025) EDIT “Short and poignant, with a terrific supporting turn from Alex Lawther, A Second Life manages to avoid most of the clichés of your touristy Paris-set drama, all while using the City of Lights to its fullest.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Auction (2024) 90% EDIT “Bonitzer has directed testier movies in the past, but at 79 years old he seems to have mellowed. This makes his latest film less compelling to watch, and yet encouraging in its message about people coming together for the greater good.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Mother Bhumi (2025) EDIT “The problem in this beautifully shot but rather murky affair is that we never quite grasp all the stakes at hand, nor do we know what to actually believe.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% EDIT “The film feels at times like Terrence Malick meets Hiyao Miyazaki for tykes, combining playful subjectivity with surreal flights of fancy. But it also maintains a narrative throughline that’s simple enough for any kid to follow.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Unidentified (2025) EDIT “Sleekly if routinely made, this classic whodunit is ultimately more interesting for what it reveals about the filmmaker’s homeland than for the mystery it unfolds.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Dog 51 (2025) EDIT “For a movie that’s mainly about algorithms and the havoc they wreak on society, the French dystopian thriller Dog 51 doesn’t appear conscious of the fact that it was made by an algorithm as well. Or at least that’s what it seems like.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 8, 2025 Full Review The Fence (2025) 70% EDIT “The Fence suffers from dialogue overload and a somewhat stagy mise-en-scène, although those elements occasionally yield strong sequences fraught with unsettledness, if not outright hostility, when the drama finally boils over.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Girl (2025) 70% EDIT “Shu may have crafted an honest portrait of domestic violence and blue-collar destitution, but she can’t quite turn those elements into strong drama. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 4, 2025 Full Review The Stranger (2025) 88% EDIT “This may all sound a little, well, French-intellectual, whereas in reality, Ozon’s film is a pleasure to watch both aesthetically and dramatically, even if it lags a bit in the third act.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 2, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “Played by Dwayne Johnson in the wrestler-turned-actor’s most absorbing turn yet, the mixed martial arts champ anchors a rise-and-fall fight flick that takes many cues from the genre but never delivers a Rocky-style knockout -- nor does it even try to.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 1, 2025 Full Review At Work (2025) EDIT “It’s an intriguing storyline that speaks to the precarious dog-eat-dog situation so many people find themselves in today... The problem in At Work is that this really is the only storyline, and it’s not quite enough to sustain a feature.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Below the Clouds (2025) 94% EDIT “As a filmmaker, Rosi acts as both guide and preservationist, making movies that may one day be uncovered like statues below ground, dug up by future archeologists trying to grasp how we lived.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Landmarks (2025) 93% EDIT “Landmarks may be the director’s first work of non-fiction -- and an impressive one at that -- but it extends a major underlying theme of her previous movies, highlighting deep social fractures within Argentina that can never be fully mended.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 31, 2025 Full Review The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) 49% EDIT “The Wizard of the Kremlin can feel like a six-hour miniseries screened at 1.5x speed, so much does it zip around to try and tell the full story.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Megadoc (2025) 98% EDIT “Megalopolis, the film, may not be lots of fun to sit through, but its making-of, Megadoc, is a blast, offering a rare inside glimpse at a major movie artist at work. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Dracula (2025) 66% EDIT “Bloated and meandering, not to mention deliberately dirty and childish, it feels like the work of someone who was able to make whatever vampire movie they wanted, then opted to make a dozen crazy vampire movies at the same time.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 15, 2025 Full Review GEN_ (2025) 100% EDIT “Matarrese may be capturing a tiny utopia in one public hospital in northern Italy, but his movie leaves us with the hope that, sooner than later, such a place may not be so unique.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Outcry (2025) EDIT “By populating his movie with rebels and outcasts of all sorts, Beiraghi reveals Iran, or at least Tehran, to be a place full of unrest ready to boil over at any moment. Seti may be uniquely talented; she’s also far from unique.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Caravan (2025) 100% EDIT “[Director Zuzana Kirchnerova's] transformed a unique and deeply personal story of adversity into a movie all of us can relate to.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Perla  (2025) EDIT “The cast is strong all around, and Polakova is so believable as the painter Perla Adamova that for most of the movie, it looks like we’re watching an actual biopic. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 10, 2025 Full Review
