Calle Málaga (2025) Gustavo Herrera Taboada Calle Málaga is a gentle film that begins with a simple plot that gradually becomes unpredictable, culminating in a poignant celebration of love and female sexuality in later life. [Full review in Spanish]

Train Dreams (2025) Marcelo Paredes From the very first moment, everything seems extremely contrived to me, as if the film were trying to reproduce that kind of sensibility without the experience actually arising naturally. [Full review in Spanish]

Hoppers (2026) Milton Calopiña ...Hoppers revives hopes for [Pixar], not only because it has an agile and clear narrative...but also because it shows that it already has a new crop of directors...who are worthy successors to the first generation of directors... [Full review in Spanish]

Hamnet (2025) Marcelo Paredes The tension between style and narrative does not prevent the emergence of certain discoveries, but taken as a whole it results, for me, in a puzzling experience, albeit one dotted with flashes of inspiration. [Full review in Spanish]

Arco (2025) Marcelo Paredes Beyond its narrative limitations, the film finds its strength in this desire for reconciliation and in its insistence on imagining a tomorrow where human connections continue to occupy a central place. [Full review in Spanish]

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Marcelo Paredes The film makes a powerful emotional appeal, which is understandable given the nature of the event, but it also invites reflection on the balance between constructed and induced emotion. [Full review in Spanish]

The Secret Agent (2025) Mauricio Jarufe Caballero ...The Secret Agent begins as a genre film and slips into a political statement: both perspectives, complementary to each other, seem more urgent than ever in a Brazil that still resists fully accepting its past. [Full review in Spanish]

THE BRIDE! (2026) Milton Calopiña Trying to cram such a disparate and overwhelming list of elements into one film causes director Maggie Gyllenhaal to lose control, resulting in an ending that is both forced and improbable. [Full review in Spanish]

4.5/5
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It is a short, simple (but never simplistic) film that tells us a lot about the power of friendship but also about memories, and that should resonate with both children and adults, making the latter also shed a few tears. [Full Review in Spanish].

Narciso (2026) Carlos Esquives The most interesting thing about [Narciso] is that it presents a crime drama without evidence, but with an obvious culprit. Now, this curious paradox is what could also define the great "invisible" enemy of this story. [Full review in Spanish]

I Swear (2025) Gianmarco Farfán In its two-hour runtime, it features several emotional peaks (on a personal, family, friendship, and professional level), with drama that feels earned rather than manipulative, plus a few well-placed moments of humor. [Full review in Spanish]

The Secret Agent (2025) Gustavo Herrera Taboada Unlike the traditional post-memory cinema model of I'm Still Here, The Secret Agent offers a fictional and seemingly escapist story that manages to convey a collective trauma almost imperceptibly and even gratifyingly. [Full review in Spanish]

Hamnet (2025) Mauricio Jarufe Caballero ...this is not the story of how Hamlet was created from tragedy, but of how tragedy (and therefore death) is always present in every creative act, and every creative act...exists because of them, and not in spite of them. [Full review in Spanish]

Arco (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It's a pleasure to see a gentle, colourful, and expertly designed animated film (Arco's 2D animation is beautiful) by human beings, that, without being a masterpiece, ends up feeling like a refreshing experience. [Full review in Spanish].

I Understand Your Displeasure (2026) Laslo Rojas Contreras ...[Kilian Armando] Friedrich delivers a tense and direct social portrait that functions as a damning critique of contemporary rampant capitalism and this perverse system that strips millions of workers of their dignity.

Josephine (2026) Juan Carlos Ugarelli Josephine is a film that may be difficult for some viewers to engage with, but while it delicately addresses sensitive topics, it never loses sight of the humanist perspective... [Full review in Spanish]

Wuthering Heights (2026) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Fans of the novel will find an adaptation that doesn't understand the point of the original story, and those looking for a passionate love story to watch on Valentine's Day will find a narratively inert, emotionally empty film.

Ella McCay (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It's not the complete disaster they made it out to be a few months ago, but I'm not about to declare it an underrated cult classic either. In fact, it falls right in the middle; hence, it doesn't please anyone. [Full review in Spanish].

Train Dreams (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn A story about the importance of the connections we make, the nature of the world, and the pain we feel when we lose what we love most. It will break your heart, but it will also leave you with a greater appreciation for life. [Full review in Spanish].

Bedford Park (2026) Sebastian Zavala Kahn 'Bedford Park' tends to be a bit too subtle, and it relies at times on coincidences to move the plot forward. But overall, it's a delicate, realistic, and impeccably acted drama. [Full Review in Spanish].

Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) Sebastian Zavala Kahn By being set in a very specific place and time (those of us in our thirties will recognise the interactions via MSN Messenger) and featuring excellent performances, the film ends up feeling intimate, believable, and emotional.

Marty Supreme (2025) Mauricio Jarufe Caballero If at times Safdie's direction may seem a bit emotionally detached, and one might think it lacks soul, there's no doubt it has heart to spare—a passionate heart, pumping at full power, in a constant state of pressure and urgency.[Full review in Spanish]
