Almodovar's timid incursion into cowboy territory (featuring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal) is sweaty, sultry, and soaked in blood, however barely remarkable. Review

The fifth and final instalment of the Indiana Jones franchise is a hearty feast of historical absurdities, cliches and self-references; it is easily digestible and thoroughly enjoyable. Review

Cinematically speaking, On the Adamant is not as inventive and liberated as its characters. This is a more or less conventional documentary. Review

Described as a desert noir and a neo Western, this black-and-white movie is in reality a study of loneliness and the passed on legacy of trauma. Review

It is deeply respectful of its characters, and never lapses into predictable resolutions. It is also a very stern movie. There are neither laugh-out-loud nor cry-out-loud moments. Instead, Aitor/Cocó and her family are allowed to reconcile their sentiments at their own accord. But the story is also a little protracted, at 127 minutes. Review
