The Novelist's Film (2022) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A story told with the disarming humility of someone who does not carry with them the burdensome self-imposition of sharing great revelations every time they bring us together in a movie theater. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Apr 6, 2023 Full Review Alcarràs (2022) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “It isn't naïf and certainly, not fatalistic either; its flowing humanist energy is comforting, the kind that can only be found in a loving family. This is paradise. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Both Sides of the Blade (2021) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Claire Denis submerges us in the turbidity of melodramatic labyrinths, those in which it's easy to lose composure. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Titane (2021) 90% 4/5 EDIT “In Titane, femininity and masculinity are presented as heavy cloaks that restrict the movement and the will of those who wear them. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Dec 20, 2022 Full Review Parallel Mothers (2021) 96% 4/5 EDIT “The intimate drama and national tragedy intertwine. It's beautiful and painful. Very much. Just as it should be. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Dec 20, 2022 Full Review Bergman Island (2021) 84% 3/5 EDIT “This "Bergman Safari" is ultimately an invitation to sigh over these views, and especially, these situations that are so outside our reach. But nothing happens. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Friends and Strangers (2021) 72% EDIT “... An hour and a half of tableaux vivants that combine Costumbrism with surrealism, filtered by the contemplation of placidity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Sep 7, 2022 Full Review Vortex (2021) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “At times Vortex finds harmony by combining identical shots from different angles; Other times, it soaks up the home tension by contrasting the movement on the left side with the static right side. And vice versa. ” – Otroscines.com Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Paris, 13th District (2021) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “Audiard splits the screen to depict those long-distance conversations loaded with chemistry. So far and so close. And vice versa. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Aug 31, 2022 Full Review Happening (2021) 99% 3/5 EDIT “When Diwan has to choose between reckoning the protagonist or impacting the audience, she chooses the latter. And for a few minutes, everything falls apart... almost impeccable otherwise. Almost. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Aug 8, 2022 Full Review The Card Counter (2020) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Someone may tell Paul Schrader there are some rotten apples in a basket, but he knows the problem is in the container. The Card Counter ponders on the chances of overcoming this belief... [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Memoria (2021) 90% 5/5 EDIT “We're at the time of dusk when the world is plunged into gloom and sounds have become sedating white noise. We're in a Weerasethakul film, and his camera seems to want us to close our eyes. But no, you can't really sleep on this. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Jul 5, 2022 Full Review Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021) 99% 4/5 EDIT “This fortuitous and fanciful wheel is inevitably stamped by Japanese idiosyncrasy, but its spirit is universal. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “Here's a movie that will stay with us, whether we like it or not. [Full review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com May 31, 2022 Full Review Ahed's Knee (2021) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “This is not a movie, it's a whirlwind; a force of nature that nothing and no one can contain. [Full Review in Spanish]” – Otroscines.com May 23, 2022 Full Review Official Competition (2021) 96% 2.5/5 EDIT “Cohn and Duprat… shoot like apes with machine guns: indiscriminately, without thinking too much (or at all) about the implications of their actions… or even why they are perpetrating them.
