Papá x Dos (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The mission of the film...is primarily to entertain and, to the extent possible, to move viewers. It has no greater ambitions, and that ultimately becomes its strength, as it only achieves its goals sporadically. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Threesome (2025) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Too melodramatic to be a fun romantic comedy; too lacking in scope to be a thoughtful generational study. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Love in the Big City (2024) 2/5 EDIT “There are some more genuine moments, but they are undermined by techniques like slow motion, which are intended to emphasize the emotional intensity of the story. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Without Glinda and Elphaba, that is, Grande and Erivo, together in so many scenes in this second part, the film loses its strongest point. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Nov 20, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Reichardt builds moments of tension, sustained by O'Connor's pitch-perfect performance and a jazz soundtrack that punctuates the anxiety of these scenes. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “The latest installment of Downton Abbey gives its audience what they want: old-fashioned scandals; witty lines; elegant locations; and, above all, a portrait of the bonds of a family that sticks together...[Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Oct 9, 2025 Full Review A Traveler's Needs (2024) 81% 4/5 EDIT “...[Hong Sang-soo] explores human relationships in a way that seems everyday, simple, and fun, yet reaches transcendental levels of reflection. This is one of his greatest achievements and what makes his work so fascinating. Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “The beauty of Materialists lies in its visuals; [Celine] Song knows how to film people and places in a poetic and compelling way. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Aug 1, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% 3/5 EDIT “M3GAN is more ironic, funnier, and potentially more dangerous than ever. A perfect formula for fun. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Jun 26, 2025 Full Review The New Year That Never Came (2024) 3/5 EDIT “The realism of Muresanu's staging and the performances, led by an outstanding cast, are beautifully achieved. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Out of Season (2024) 95% 3/5 EDIT “Canet and Rohrwacher's performances are the heart of the film and maintain the same understated tone that runs throughout, right down to every detail of the staging.

Yet, it's so entertaining that it keeps you watching until the end, when the finale will test even the most willful audience. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Instead of exploring romantic relationships through a drama with tear-jerker scenes, Soderbergh chooses a spy story with touches of humor and an elegant aesthetic. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 4/5 EDIT “[Fernanda Torres'] work is brilliant, in a way that is not ostentatious and constructed from subtlety. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 3/5 EDIT “...[Paddington in Peru] stands out for integrating such complex themes as chosen family, identity and immigration, in a sufficiently accurate way, but without letting it take center stage. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 4/5 EDIT “[Robert Eggers] constructs a gothic horror fable and all of its elements, including the unrealistic acting tones of a brilliant cast, are a risky artistic decision that pays off. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) Jan 7, 2025 Full Review All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Poitras's documentary disasembles the fabric of art, life, and politics, showing the threads and how they weave together, then reassembles the tapestry so we can better understand Goldin in all her facets. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Feb 11, 2023 Full Review The Fabelmans (2022) 92% 5/5 EDIT “A very moving film by a giant storyteller telling his own story with genuine emotion and zero cynicism. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Dec 29, 2022 Full Review The Lost City (2022) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Recaptures that Hollywood tradition in the best way, with a leading duo that overflows with charisma and beauty. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Nación (Argentina) May 19, 2022 Full Review Morbius (2022) 15% 2/5 EDIT “While it is a bit ridiculous and humble in its intentions, the film offers something to have fun with.
