[Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Encampments (2025) 94% EDIT “By documenting this protest and all that it entailed, The Encampments gradually transforms into a microcosm that explains the impunity with which Israel has perpetrated genocide in Gaza. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Natchez (2025) 100% EDIT “Through the ideological contrast between these figures and without being didactic, Pablo Proenza's editing brilliantly exposes the ingrained racism that exists in the white American people.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Nov 20, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “It's a dysfunctional thriller and an unnecessary film whose humanity is quickly diluted in the service of an alarming militaristic discourse. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Peacock (2024) 100% EDIT “Putting together this existential comic puzzle is the always brilliant Albrecht Schuch , who navigates all these roles in a funny and enigmatic way, but also with a touch of pathos and sweetness.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Flush (2025) EDIT “Everything gets tiresome quickly due to an inorganic structure that makes the film seem like a collection of sketches. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Oct 11, 2025 Full Review The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) 28% EDIT “It's a fun thriller, with a good dose of tension, and a comfortable running time, whose sins are compensated by Keira Knightley's dedication and intensity. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Oct 11, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “Yes, The Smashing Machine manages to break away from the genre's clichés, but it does so with little emotion and even less cohesion.

A Geek Community Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Night Always Comes (2025) 52% EDIT “A film that takes strong ideas about economic disparity and, in typical Netflix fashion, processes them into a conventional narrative whose only aspiration is to make you hold your breath for a few minutes. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Aug 16, 2025 Full Review Transcending Dimensions (2025) EDIT “A film as diffuse as it is fascinating, which far from pressuring you to understand its puzzling story, invites you to embark on a stimulating sensory journey. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Aug 3, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% EDIT “An extremely funny sequel that deserves to have lots of theaters full of people laughing. [Full review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Sham (2025) 81% EDIT “One is left with the feeling that Miike's crude direction detracts from the complexity of a case that had much more to offer. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Stuntman (2024) 100% EDIT “A captivating and excellently acted film that opts for the dramatic to communicate a mixed, sometimes conflicted message that exposes a concern for modern Hong Kong cinema without romanticizing its problems. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Jul 30, 2025 Full Review ChaO (2025) EDIT “On a storytelling level, ChaO has ideas that should have stayed in the past, but, on a visual level, it has ideas that look to the future. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Jul 29, 2025 Full Review The Forbidden City (2025) EDIT “The Forbidden City is a varied and well-balanced dish that celebrates Rome's diversity, entertains in spades, introduces us to a new star in Yaxi Liu, and even has the luxury of subverting the martial arts movie formula.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “Jurassic World: Rebirth lacks emotion and is fairly predictable, but the reality is that, for many, that doesn't matter at all. Here we come to see dinosaurs and humans trying to survive them. Gareth Edwards delivers exactly that. [Full Review in Spanish]” – La Estatuilla Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Lesbian Space Princess (2025) 98% EDIT “That punk spirit of its production is reflected in a rebellious film that, with a lot of creativity, heart and joy, imposes its own rules and traces its own paths.
