No Other Choice (2025)
97%
5/5
EDIT
“Cut it, print it. These are brutal executions, brilliantly executed. Director Park has said he wants No Other Choice to be his “masterpiece” and he may well have done it. Hopefully he won’t be jobless any time soon.” –

66%
3/5
EDIT
“The Dive uses its underwater setting to add new thrills to a formulaic survivalist story, even if its attempts at emotional depth end up feeling a little shallow.” –

4/5
EDIT
“Visually striking and emotionally poignant, Suzume manages to combine hilarity and heartache, in its heightened, therapeutic, if slightly unwieldy, narrative.” –

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
96%
3/5
EDIT
“Top Gun: Maverick is an extremely enjoyable thrill ride, yet its focus on intense, immersive action doesn’t allow much room for lighter, steamier fun like its predecessor.” –

Natural Light (2021)
68%
3/5
EDIT
“The forceful imagery and acute sound design make Natural Light worth surrendering to, but a frail narrative may leave you feeling like you're in no man's land.” –

Gagarine (2020)
95%
4/5
EDIT

The Truffle Hunters (2020)
