Fantastic Machine (2023) 65% EDIT “Complex subjects beg for more considered insights than what’s offered here.” – Sight & Sound Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Snow Leopard (2023) 73% EDIT “Snow Leopard is quintessential Pema Tseden: vivid, visceral, and illuminating.” – Sight & Sound Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Favoriten (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “As recent school-set movies such as Un Film Dramatique (2019) and Mr Bachmann and His Class (2021) have demonstrated, classrooms can act as near-perfect microcosms of society at large. ” – Little White Lies Dec 11, 2024 Full Review EO (2022) 96% EDIT “It's a film that doesn't look back so much as point the way forward.” – Cinema Scope Aug 1, 2022 Full Review Fabian: Going to the Dogs (2021) 93% EDIT “Known primarily as a genre director, Graf applies his flair for dynamic storytelling and dazzling set pieces to Kästner’s uniquely autobiographical, character-driven novel.” – BFI Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Fauna (2020) 90% EDIT “Fauna is a resolutely sly and humorous film, especially in these introductory scenes where the chemistry between the actors... is free to spark in moments of both casual conversation and unspoken discomfort.” – Cinema Scope Sep 15, 2020 Full Review I Was at Home, But (2019) 88% EDIT “There's no denying the boldness of [I Was at Home, But...]-fractured, elliptical, and highly mannered, the film hardly betrays Schanelec's ideology.” – Film Comment Magazine Feb 19, 2020 Full Review Vitalina Varela (2019) 95% EDIT “[Vitalina Varela] invests a tragic episode in its heroine's life with an intimacy and grace that forges new dimensions in Costa's cinema.” – Film Comment Magazine Feb 19, 2020 Full Review Wilcox (2019) EDIT “Opening up space for thought and reflection on a well-worn subject, Wilcox quietly bears witness to a life that, in a lesser filmmaker's hands, might have been deemed worthy of interest only if it ended in premature death.” – Cinema Scope Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Zombi Child (2019) 85% EDIT “Bonello sets up an array of contrasts between black and white, past and present, life and death, rural and urban, creating a provocative dialectic that suggests that the colonialist spirit never truly faded, but only assumed new forms.” – Cinema Scope Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Martin Eden (2019) 88% EDIT “With the unexpected scope and audacity of his latest, Marcello proves that he has no intention of resting on his laurels.” – Cinema Scope Sep 5, 2019 Full Review The Dead Don't Die (2019) 55% EDIT “Despite the range of personalities, the film is ultimately stronger in theme and style than character, more substantial in its diagnosis of human folly than its detached depiction of small-town life.” – Reverse Shot Jun 14, 2019 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% EDIT “Surely one of the most singular and uncompromising films of its kind.” – Reverse Shot Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Prototype (2017) 100% EDIT “With Prototype Williams has achieved a holistic union of his own that speaks at once to the transformative power of the moving image and the oceanic force of its full deployment. Goodbye to language, indeed.” – Reverse Shot Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Cold War (2018) 92% EDIT “For all his allusions to the contrary, [director Pawe] Pawlikowski may be contemporary cinema's foremost metteur en scène.” – Cinema Scope Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Hotel by the River (2018) 96% EDIT “Hong's latest confirms a nascent sorrow in this increasingly complicated director's work. The results are troubling, touching, and never less than beautiful.” – Cinema Scope Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Rams (2015) 95% EDIT “Rams is the kind of film whose evident craft belies its lack of adventurousness; its virtues are mostly predictable, its revelations far from revelatory as it plods inexorably from one situational hurdle to another.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review The Assassin (2015) 80% EDIT “The pictorial beauty of this scene is self-evident; it's in Hou's painstaking orchestration of each component part and the thematic weight imparted by their careful configuration that lends the film a steadily increasing romantic gravitas.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Mekko (2015) EDIT “An agreeable if unremarkable work of indigenous realism whose familiarity of form is ably offset by the singularity of its milieu.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Mustang (2015) 97% EDIT “Mustang immediately stands out amidst the largely male-dominated efforts of contemporary cinema, its concerns distinctly feminine in constitution, its context specific in circumstance yet universal in scope.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Sieranevada (2016) 92% EDIT “With little hierarchal order to the proceedings--but with distinct delineations between national, political, and theological dispositions--the film manages to hold everyone accountable.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review The Red Turtle (2016) 93% EDIT “With nary a word, The Red Turtle manages to speak in lofty, unconvincing tones.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review My Life as a Zucchini (2016) 99% EDIT “Charmingly homespun, the stop-motion animation is intricate and expressive, allowing the kids' unique personalities to shine forth from their petite frames and oblong heads.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Dog Eat Dog (2016) 51% EDIT “This is cinema that answers to nothing but itself.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review After the Storm (2016) 96% EDIT “After the Storm gathers a cumulative force that's easy to discount, but its melancholy effects, like those that define Kore-eda's most substantial recent efforts, are potent enough to linger in the mind.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review
