He explains that he set out to create something positive at which people can look and remember him after he’s gone. He’s partly successful. While humbling, this is hardly an uplifting film. Review

This very British hybrid of mockumentary and deep fake television is as juicy and plump as the vegetables portrayed, but also a little overgrown. Review

Star-studded, elegant prequel of 1976 classic pays tribute to several horror movies, but not without some clumsy twists and turns. Review

The problem is that there is very little chemistry between the characters. There are too many sudden, profound bondings and subplots in a relatively short period of time. Review

The sombre cinematography, combined with a concrete social topic, provides the movie with a touch of realism, almost social realism, even if some stiff lines and bathetic music score partly hamper these efforts. Review

This is a documentary with a very specific focus: an album and its 20th anniversary. That’s the movie’s strength but also its weakness. Review

Developments are subtle and slow, however the film never overstays its relatively long duration of 120 minutes. A highly cryptic, jarring exuberant ending will stay with you for a long time. Review

Seven Veils is so concerned with creating a multithreaded narrative, and drawing metalinguistic parallels between fiction and reality that it forgets to raise pertinent questions about the topic that it chose to address. This is an entertaining movie to watch, however with nothing new to say to victims of sexual abuse. Review

Mati Diop's new creation is a deeply poetic rumination on French colonialism; she once again uses the Atlantic Ocean as a dark and sombre watershed. Review

Non-narrative, almost entire sensory film explores the rise and the collapse of the architecture of men and of nature; the outcome is strangely soothing. Review

The multithreaded script is just too disjointed. It took me a good read of the synopsis in order to put the puzzle pieces together, and understand the plot twists and power dynamics. Review
