Maiwenn manages to transform the manners and behaviors of the time into effective humor, but the film suffers from a disinterested, passionless performance by Depp, which contributes to the film's plodding pace. Review

The pair Loach / Laverty, who has been working together since 1996, leaves us at the doorstep of an intercultural consolidation one can only dream of. The intentions are noble but The Old Oak doesn’t really come off despite the painful dramas behind each character. Review

The structure may challenge some viewers, but those who stay engaged will find plenty of awkwardness offering a distinct cinematic pleasure. In summary, the surreal and ambiguity never dwindle the emotional stakes. Review

Although Morris' direction may be criticized for feeling somewhat static, there is a certain fascination in witnessing how le Carré, often labeled the ‘poet of self-hatred’, crafted novels that seamlessly blended imagination and personal experiences with unparalleled competency. Review

Abrasive at the surface but warm in its fleeting moments of reflection, the film muses and liberates rather than demands or confines. Review

Fincher makes a shift in the way he returns to the genre, keeping the audiences suspicious and attentive to every possibly relevant detail. Even if they take us nowhere, one still enjoys this restless feeling and unbending tension throughout. Review

The slow-paced developments serve to reinforce ideas, clarify relationships and positions, and establish a deep connection with the characters. And we are struck by the touching performance of Sofia Otero. This is a sincere and painful portrait that, while breathing intensely, avoids relying on pathos. Review

Despite potential in the machine-versus-heart dynamic, the film falters, and even Jessie Buckley's charm can't salvage an underwritten story that yearns for more depth. Review

The cinematography by Michael Latham has an exciting, alive quality despite the dusky tonality of the long nights captured in camera, but if you're seeking horror, thrills, or stimulation, this may not be the film for you. Review

Hüller exudes dazzling charisma and oozes class with her performance, while Triet is at the top of her game, creating a precise, intelligent portrait of a free woman whose confidence and composure never seem shaken. Review

Carney seemed inclined to embrace the realism of directors like Ken Loach, but then gets too busy honey-coating musical sequences marred by cloying sentimentality. Sadly, they never fill you up. Review

It falls short of realizing its full potential, with a conclusion that doesn't quite measure up to the rest of the narrative. Review

This amalgamation of gangsta-rap and gangland themes is a soulless misfire from a director we know capable of delivering better. Review

More corny than enthralling, and constantly overacted, Full River Red fails to emotionally invest the audience in the narrative. Lamentably, Yimou didn’t put enough effort into this one to provoke or engage the viewer. Review

At times, the story may follow predictable patterns, but it remains consistently fascinating, steeped in lyrical enchantment and fierce determination. What truly lends the film its mesmerizing atmosphere is the quietly radiant black-and-white cinematography by Brazilian cinematographer Lílis Soares. Review

Bottoms provides gay-themed material aimed at teens with a level of insight that rarely rises above standard parody. It didn’t resonate with me, but at least the cast appears to have had a blast in this feminist celebration of love, youth, and friendship. Review

Provocative without being excessively flamboyant, Cassandro is endowed with remarkable performances, underlining themes of freedom, courage, and ambition in most scenes; it offers an engrossing exploration of Saul’s duality in life. Review

The director remains on the surface, weaving a crass hodgepodge of elements that don’t fully coalesce. However, respectable performances by Asante Blackk, Kylie Rogers, and Tiffany Haddish were a positive surprise, and that paid off in places. Review
