Relic
(2020)
|
Nicolás Ruiz
|
An intimate film that manages to blend, with subtlety, j-horror influences in a psychological and allegorical portrait of loss and grief. A true class act from Natalie Erika James. [Full review in Spanish]

Godzilla vs. Kong
(2021)
|
Nicolás Ruiz

Adam Wingard understands the tone needed for a movie like this. And he understands the characters. With a keen visual eye, Godzilla vs Kong manages to create a fun new mythology based on the vast Toho lore. [Full review in Spanish]

This is not an innovative documentary, formally speaking. But it is sincere and human. More than a story about Adam Neumann, it's about the people who trusted him and the remaining hopes of an empathetic future. [Full review in Spanish]

Host
(2020)

Rob Savage capitalizes on the fear of quarantine with a surprising elegance. Host is a fun, purposeful and intelligent movie that combines, unseemingly, the thrill of jump scares and the intense consciousness of a collective, underlying, anguish.
