Wolfram (2025) 92% B- EDIT “It lands with gravitas and yields unexpected character dividends. If only the narrative functioned otherwise more conventionally, at least as thrill, tragedy, and catharsis go. Or at least you might find you wish it did. ” – IndieWire Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Palestine '36 (2025) 100% B- EDIT “It works if you are really paying attention to the pageturner storytelling and have the spatial intelligence to proactively connect plants to payoffs.” – IndieWire Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Mother (2025) 64% B- EDIT ““Mother” is on a mission that, its bold stylistic flourishes notwithstanding, isn’t ultimately forceful or persuasive... What does come through is Noomi Rapace’s accessible interpretation of Teresa.” – IndieWire Aug 27, 2025 Full Review A Magnificent Life (2025) 64% C+ EDIT “Chomet, a master storyteller in his own right... sadly and strangely seems to have sidestepped the catharsis a well-wrought narrative can supply, favoring instead a dutifully animated, bullet-pointed Wikipedia-entry style telling of Pagnol’s life.” – IndieWire May 20, 2025 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% B EDIT “A case of relatively modest filmmaking that becomes rich because archetype and characterization coordinate the story world. In some stretches, though, the filmmaking and the narrative urgency fall a bit flat. ” – IndieWire May 16, 2025 Full Review Hysteria (2025) 93% B EDIT “Hysteria excels in shepherding such nuance even if it fails to mine sufficient atmosphere to reach a truly singeing denouement.” – IndieWire Mar 15, 2025 Full Review GEN_ (2025) 100% B EDIT “The humdrum, the humor, and the humanity in the documentary’s two dozen or so consultations is palpable, enlivening. The patients themselves are so real, so grounded.” – IndieWire Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Hallow Road (2025) 87% C+ EDIT “Unfortunately, the film never transcends its tone of ever-present and palpable danger to become a more satisfying character piece. ” – IndieWire Mar 14, 2025 Full Review The Secret of Me (2025) 100% B+ EDIT “The Secret of Me checks all the boxes of an accessible, judiciously contextualized exposé documentary.” – IndieWire Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Living the Land (2025) 100% B+ EDIT “If “Living the Land” is still extremely handsome and involving, this is because Huo isn’t simply observing, he is telling a story too, just in larger temporal units.” – IndieWire Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% B EDIT “The film’s honesty, whether loquacious or laconic, sears even more in the absence of a score. Its observational ethos is remarkable given that it is quasi-autobiographical.” – IndieWire Jan 27, 2025 Full Review The Summer Book (2024) 83% B- EDIT “Indeed, the film’s secret weapon is Glenn Close, aka Grandmother. ” – IndieWire Oct 28, 2024 Full Review The Mother and the Bear (2024) 90% B EDIT “Ma directs Kim with remarkable clarity in his third feature, a stylistic and thematic departure from his previous work, which includes 2016’s psychological thriller Old Stone and the more recent To Live To Sing.” – IndieWire Sep 16, 2024 Full Review
