Elisa & Marcela (2019)
The most emotionally authentic part of the film, by far, are the wedding snapshots that run with the end credits...

Synonyms (Synonymes) (2019)
Taken as a whole, the whole 'kosher Candide' routine surrounding not-quite-innocent-abroad Yoav proves repetitive and wearing.

Flesh Out (2019)
The assured, sensitively handled second feature from Michela Occhipinti offers a fresh perspective on body image and self-worth that will strike a timely chord.

Watergate (2019)
Watergate is a fascinating film that both draws disturbing parallels and offers the opposition encouragement.

10
A Tale of Three Sisters (2019)
A female recentering of Turkish rural history, a celebration of women's life force and spirit of resistance.

Gully Boy (2019)
Singh busts rhymes with the best of them in this energetic, entertaining film.
Posted Feb 12, 2019

The Day After I'm Gone (2019)

Posted Feb 12, 2019
14
A compulsively watchable drama which taps into some genuinely intriguing themes.
Posted Feb 12, 2019
15
Dafne (2019)
It's a slight but tender film, and would remain a worthy exercise with a made-for-TV feel were it not for a final third that lifts it into richer and stranger territory.
Posted Feb 11, 2019
16
Chained (2019)
It feels a little like a string of acting workshop exercises that have been edited into an undernourished story, one that jars especially in an unconvincing final denouement.

All My Loving (Geschwister) (2019)
18
A sharp Macedonia-set satire about power, change and a woman's place in a patriarchal world.
Posted Feb 11, 2019

Idol (2019)
[This] ambitiously twisty feature... provides an astute thread of commentary about class, gender and immigration.

Knives and Skin (2019)
It may be the most anarchic and refreshing take on the American teen's existential malaise since Heathers.

Driveways (2019)
It's pleasantly comforting, and goes down easily - but afterwards, you have to work hard to remember if you even had it at all.

Goldie (2019)
24
Ghost Town Anthology (2019)
Côté's eerie fantasy drama juxtaposes the mundane and the parochial with the supernatural, to sometimes disquieting effect.
Posted Feb 11, 2019
25
A seemingly conventional family and social-issue drama... shades engagingly in and out of psychological thriller territory in Austrian director Marie Kreutzer's new film.
Posted Feb 11, 2019
26
A film which is strikingly beautiful yet can be quite inert.
Posted Feb 11, 2019

Hellhole (2019)
[A] quietly absorbing film...
Posted Feb 11, 2019
28
While Tsoumerkas doesn't pull off the miracle you hope, the acting fairly crackles.

The Operative (2019)

Light of My life (2019)
A superb performance by Affleck, who constructs a touching and believable rapport with his 11 year-old co-star, grounds his low-key directorial and feature-writing debut.
Posted Feb 9, 2019
33
Öndög (2019)
A hugely engaging, disgressively structured piece that combines a cosmic sense of landscape with intimate character drama...
Posted Feb 9, 2019
34
[An] admirable distillation of a tough subject...
Posted Feb 9, 2019
35
Flatland (2019)
The film lacks the flow and editing finesse which could tie the disparate elements - episodic scenes, an incongruous pop electronic score - together.
Posted Feb 8, 2019
36
Tremors (Temblores) (2019)
Bustamante offers a thoughtful, emotionally-charged exploration of a devoutly religious family man torn apart by the revelation of his love for another man.
Posted Feb 8, 2019

Superbly acted and highly controlled, the film doesn't afford easy entertainment...

To the Stars (2019)
An exceedingly lovely, quietly moving drama about characters who feel like they don't belong.
Posted Feb 8, 2019
41
Donnybrook (2019)
The film exudes a grungy, B-movie ethos in keeping with its scrappy, resourceful characters.
Posted Feb 8, 2019
42
The Kindness of Strangers (2019)
It's a big-hearted picture, certainly, but one that doggedly labours its message.
Posted Feb 7, 2019
43
Official Secrets (2019)

Posted Feb 6, 2019
44
Crazy Alien (2019)
Ning's unerring knack for illustrating the absurdity of contemporary China through popular genre iconography somewhat compensates for a repetitive second half.
Posted Feb 6, 2019
45
The Wandering Earth (2019)
46
Them That Follow (2019)
As grimly gripping as "Them That Follow" is, the proceedings have a stacked-deck quality to them, which keeps this compelling tale from being truly galvanizing.

Blinded by the Light (2019)
48
Fighting with My Family (2019)
Florence Pugh commands the ring in "Fighting With My Family," an underdog wrestling comedy with lots of heart alongside some likeable sports-movie cliches.
