The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Diego Céspedes’ The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Its fantastical elements form an alluring gravitational pull to the messages at the film’s core about love, compassion and empathy. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 4.5/5 EDIT “Eternity is a hilarious, spellbinding look at love through the eyes of death. David Freyne’s afterlife is methodically built to raise questions of morality, longevity and self in the face of the most definitive decision a person can make.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Duse (2025) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The spirit of Pietro Marcello’s Duse seems to fall perfectly in line with his depiction of the great artist: full of ambition, captivated by the beauty of art, but ultimately unable to reach the full potential it deeply strives for. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Pillion is this year’s biggest cinematic surprise... Lighton’s story is raw and enthralling and will have you seeing parts of yourself on screen that you thought no one would ever be able to see. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Gavagai (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Gavagai mixes ancient tragedy with modern-day reality in a way that allows audience members to see that maybe we, as human beings, have not evolved as much as we like to think we have. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 7, 2025 Full Review East of Wall (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “Directors like her (Kate Beecroft), who go and seek out stories like Tabatha and Porshia’s and bring them to the masses in uniquely artistic ways, are the pillars that keep the foundation of original storytelling upright. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Gonzo Girl (2023) 59% 3.5/5 EDIT “Arquette’s directorial debut is a valiant, albeit flawed, effort as the story she chose to adapt is by no means an easy one to approach about the actuality of meeting your heroes and the flawed reality of searching for your own voice. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% 5/5 EDIT “With Oh, Hi!, Sophie Brooks captures lightning in a bottle. Her sophomore film is a sharp, hilarious and fascinating analysis of everything wrong with romance today.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Westhampton (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “Nilsson’s film is a masterfully written and surprisingly entertaining story about the importance of accountability.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “James Sweeney has solidified himself as a rising talent to watch and a ferocious comedic force to be reckoned with.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Why We Dream (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Why We Dream underlines the importance of understanding history, no matter how tragic, so it doesn’t repeat itself again.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Rosemead aims to add context, not delegate judgment, to a tragic true-life story. Lucy Liu effortlessly embodies Irene with a quiet contemplativeness and increasing desperation that will leave you speechless as the credits roll.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Tow (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Tow is much more than a story about a woman fighting to get back her car. It’s a story about the power of vulnerability, the importance of asking for help and the beauty that comes in seeing beyond people’s circumstances.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 10, 2025 Full Review The Scout (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “While The Scout does serve as a stripped-back look at the unseen side of filmmaking, its power comes from its exploration of identity and how the search to understand oneself is constantly evolving.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 9, 2025 Full Review The Travel Companion (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “While Wood and Mallis aren’t afraid of centering their film around an unlikable main character, Simon’s spiraling obsession with retaining the free flights and inability to escape his self-proclaimed victimhood quickly becomes trying.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Urchin is a film that encapsulates both the sorrows and the joys of the human experience. [...] Dickinson bends traditional storytelling conventions to create a truly empathic, artful film. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 26, 2025 Full Review Caravan (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Zuzana Kirchnerová’s directorial debut is a devastatingly beautiful look at a woman finding herself after years putting her needs aside in order to care for her son.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 23, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut is a living, breathing piece of art. It’s a masterful translation of an impossibly difficult life that, while deeply dark, never gives up on the possibility of finding the light. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 21, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Nouvelle Vague serves as a love letter to the movement, the concept of artistic expression and above all else, the joy of filmmaking. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 21, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 5/5 EDIT “Die My Love exists in juxtapositions. It’s grounded yet completely surreal, fueled by madness but guided by love, tender yet dyspeptic, isolating yet all-encompassing. [...] a visceral dive into the feminine psyche in the midst of postpartum depression.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 20, 2025 Full Review A Pale View of Hills (2025) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ishikawa’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s debut novel is a thought-provoking meditation on memory, regret and letting go.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 20, 2025 Full Review Tell Her that I Love Her (2025) 4/5 EDIT “I can confidently say this story is a gift to daughters and mothers alike.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 19, 2025 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “While the film is not devoid of hope, Loznitsa refuses to handle his audience delicately. [...] It’s a tragedy about the way the individual falls powerless against established, immoveable and corrupt institutions.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 17, 2025 Full Review Enzo (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “In French filmmaker Laurent Cantet’s last project Enzo, completed by longtime friend and collaborator Robin Campillo after Cantet passed away in 2024, he spotlights the messy yet sincere search one must embark on to find oneself.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 16, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Friendship truly is a match of wits, as Andrew DeYoung perfectly utilizes Robinson’s gifts to guide an interesting and well-rounded conversation about the modern state of human connection.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 9, 2025 Full Review
