Materialists (2025) 77% EDIT “It confirms —though it shouldn’t need to— the director and writer’s talent for crafting precise dialogue, well-rounded and complex characters, and stories with a connection to reality that is as lucid as it is devastating.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “Another landmark of modern horror that shreds your nerves and gut, but above all, annihilates your heart.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% EDIT “An hour and a half of pure, unadulterated entertainment, with laughs guaranteed no matter how many gray hairs you have. And in the middle of 2025, that is an achievement few, very few, productions can claim.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “Another example of how Marvel can do things right when it wants to — though, unfortunately, only halfway.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “A feature film that, when the world is crumbling all around us gives you one of those hugs that warms your heart and says in the kindest possible tone, "Relax, mate, everything’s going to be fine."” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “It makes clear that experiments aimed at appealing to what executives consider "the audience" are usually treacherous ground, at least from a strictly creative standpoint.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% EDIT “A radical, free, and gloriously unhinged work that invites us to celebrate the existence of fearless, unprejudiced artists like Danny Boyle and his collaborators.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Fight or Flight (2024) 76% EDIT “A perfect pick for one of those summer movie nights with friends, where the only thing that really matters is having a great time without holding back.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% EDIT “Even as the weakest of the five big-screen entries released to date, it proves that the John Wick saga still has plenty of gunpowder — and punches — left in the chamber.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% EDIT “An achievement that comes as no surprise at all once you realize that it is, plain and simple, an almost entirely faithful carbon copy of the brilliant original film.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% EDIT “Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning pulls off a peculiar miracle by rising above its many — and not insignificant — problems, ultimately sending you out of the theater with an overall sense of satisfaction.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% EDIT “To reach its apotheotic, five-star display of action wrapped in the aura of masters like John Woo or Johnnie To, a price has to be paid in the form of technical — and, to a lesser extent, narrative — excesses.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% EDIT “The arrival of Thunderbolts* has surprisingly righted Marvel’s ship by following the infallible KISS principle — Keep It Simple, Stupid — which urges simplification across the board, and by returning to its roots… for better and for worse.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% EDIT “A film that goes beyond narrative — even relegating it to a secondary role — to transport us straight into hell in a ferocious audiovisual assault on our senses, rising as one of the finest contemporary works in its category.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review A Whale (2024) EDIT “Pablo Hernando has created an impossible cocktail halfway between a neo-noir–flavoured thriller, science fiction, and more than a few touches of cosmic horror, while proving that "another kind of cinema" is possible in Spain.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% EDIT “A kind of dramatic thriller that doesn’t hesitate to flirt with some of the driest, most atmospheric horror conventions, while throwing into the mix a handful of tonal and stylistic elements that, against all odds, work to perfection.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Kill (2023) 90% EDIT “Kill is pure entertainment. A steadily escalating descent into violence in which every fight and every death is emotionally justified, keeping you glued to the edge of your seat, shouting at the screen.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% EDIT “It works perfectly well in general terms, has its charm and virtues —most of them inherited—but it reaches our cinemas after losing a good amount of its magic along the way.” – Espinof Feb 25, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% EDIT “A whole festival for refined palates and stomachs hardened by horror. Cinema capable of brightening your day, your week, and your month—even if it's through sheer atrocities.” – Espinof Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% EDIT “The film directed by Julius Onah is the worst it could have been: one that is neither good nor bad and that, quite simply, just exists.” – Espinof Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% EDIT “An unquestionable masterpiece, with all the magic and depth that the great icons of the medium have progressively lost as they were consumed by the industry” – Espinof Feb 22, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% EDIT “It is, quite easily, one of the best and greatest films of the 21st century. At least during its first half, which is brilliant and flawless in every aspect.” – Espinof Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% EDIT “It is condemned to that limbo where all those movies that we watch, enjoy, and almost immediately forget go due to their rushed and almost anecdotal narrative.” – Espinof Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 62% EDIT “It won’t change your life and might be forgotten in a few days, but it can turn a bad day around like few others—reminding us how satisfying a solid, no-frills thriller can be when everyone else is chasing perfection.” – Espinof Feb 22, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% EDIT “A subtle film that, without making itself noticed, slowly carves its way into the viewer’s heart, likely leaving a mark for a long time. This is ultimately possible thanks to its thematic richness and the sensitivity with which it articulates its ideas.” – Espinof Feb 22, 2025 Full Review
