Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “Chalamet plays Marty with a brazen thirst that feels at once, exhausting and magnetic, and the film benefits from his willingness to make ambition look depraved. ” – The Hindu Jan 23, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “The Chronology of Water is a tremendous debutant work shaped by commitment and risk.” – The Hindu Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% EDIT “[100 Meters] belongs in the lineage of Redline and Akira for sheer kinetic confidence, filtered through the philosophical exhaustion of Ping Pong the Animation and the eroticised rivalry of Challengers.” – The Hindu Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Bloated with money, myth, technology, and a palpable fear of irrelevance, everything is bigger, louder, and longer in Fire and Ash. Everything is also airless.” – The Hindu Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “It’s gorgeous work, no question, but you can feel the film checking its own seams instead of letting anything meaningful truly rupture.” – The Hindu Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “Jay Kelly stirs the occasional laugh, and offers enough actorly finesse to keep you invested, but its emotional ambitions remain well out of reach. ” – The Hindu Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% EDIT “...Left-Handed Girl is a remarkably confident first solo feature. It extends the Tsou/Baker project of documenting people squeezed by money and myth, shifting the centre of gravity toward Taiwanese women who have to carry both.” – The Hindu Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Magellan (2025) 85% EDIT “Watching Magellan made me oscillate between boredom, dread, fascination, and a dry, bitter humour.” – The Hindu Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% EDIT “Compared to the more schematic quirk of The Dead Don’t Die, this feels like late style in the best sense. The jokes are softer, the cuts are cleaner, the cynicism is dialed down, though the honesty is not. ” – The Hindu Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Renoir (2025) 87% EDIT “Renoir is messier and more diffuse than Plan 75... But it recognises that some children already live with their eyes open, cataloguing the surreal, the dangerous, the beautiful, and the irresponsible with the same steady curiosity.” – The Hindu Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% EDIT “Sirat will make you impatient and it will make you ache. It will also remind you that a film can be a livid, feral, out-of-body experience in a dignified festival auditorium. ” – The Hindu Dec 1, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “It should be illegal to make such phenomenal cinema.” – The Hindu Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “Sentimental Value evolves with a remarkable emotional clarity that deepens scene by scene. Trier has crafted one of his richest, most humane works. The performances are superb. The images settle into memory with startling ease. ” – The Hindu Nov 24, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “It’s hard to think of a more relevant satire in a year when job security is vapour and algorithms promise to make human labour optional, and PCW proves how terrifyingly plausible the absurdity is. It’s a small masterpiece of misanthropic sympathy.” – The Hindu Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% EDIT “The film keeps its critique grounded in behaviour by simply watching its characters try to live out theories they were never equipped to maintain. The honesty of that collective delusion gives the whole thing its waggish charm.” – The Hindu Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “Cinema’s most enthusiastic murder tourist still rips, bleeds, and flexes with the swagger of a classic Yautja bloodfest, but Badlands turns the galaxy’s most macho pastime into a strangely moving study of empathy in armour.” – The Hindu Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% EDIT “Good Boy is what happens when love outlives language. By privileging a nonhuman gaze, Leoberg dismantles the anthropocentric arrogance of most horror. ” – The Hindu Nov 3, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “It may be meticulously made and philosophically provocative, but it feels far too dazzled by its own proximity to the trigger and sparks debate exactly the way Pentagon PR would dream.” – The Hindu Oct 27, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “Yes, the script is atrocious at times, the characters are archetypal, the exposition heavy, and the dialogue clunky. But somehow, none of that stops the movie from being unmissable...” – The Hindu Oct 10, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “It is a work of furious implication, funny enough to sting and serious enough to feel dangerous.” – The Hindu Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) 96% EDIT “This is a fever dream carved up for the maladjusted, the terminally online, and the weirdest of weirdos who recognise in Denji's mangled yearning a kind of cracked holiness. Chainsaw Man is something stranger, funnier and crueler. ” – The Hindu Sep 26, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “The Long Walk is not a flattering watch. It’s repetitive, punishing, and deliberately blunt in its politics, but it carries something uncompromisingly organic. The road goes ever on, but companionship always endures.” – The Hindu Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) 98% EDIT “What distinguishes Infinity Castle is its poise. Where Mugen Train offered a self-contained loop, this film sprawls outward, unabashedly unfinished yet cloaked in the flourishes of conclusion.” – The Hindu Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “Highest 2 Lowest is uneven, excessive, occasionally ridiculous, but never dull. It’s also, against the odds, a pleasant reminder that Lee and Washington, nearly two decades after Inside Man, can still electrify each other on screen.” – The Hindu Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “The Philippou brothers may not yet be the new kings of horror, but with Bring Her Back they’ve at least proven themselves its most sadistic purveyors of the decade - pushing us into yet another nightmare we’d rather not face...” – The Hindu Aug 22, 2025 Full Review
