A Girl Is a Gun (1971) EDIT “A Girl is a Gun is a defiantly quirky and incredibly entertaining example of what made Moullet the chaos agent of the French New Wave.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Little Trouble Girls (2025) 98% EDIT “Little Trouble Girls takes a lovely, lyrical approach to time-worn tropes, the result of which is a film that entrances the audience despite its flaws.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Queen Kelly (1929) 100% EDIT “Watching it fills me with sadness for what we lost when Swanson suddenly stopped production; nonetheless, some Queen Kelly is better than no Queen Kelly.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Four Nights of a Dreamer (1971) 92% EDIT “With the rich color and texture present in every frame of the film looking positively rejuvenated in 4K, there’s never been a better time for Four Nights of a Dreamer to finally take the prominent place it deserves in Bresson’s filmography.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Riefenstahl (2024) 97% EDIT “Riefenstahl should be the last word on its subject—not just because it is the definitive one, but also because it is the last one we need. She doesn’t deserve any more.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Stranger Eyes (2024) 82% EDIT “Despite tackling intriguing and timely concepts about the role of technology and surveillance in modern society, Stranger Eyes ends up being a surprisingly dull watch—especially when Lee Kang-Sheng isn’t on screen.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Souleymane's Story (2024) 100% EDIT “Abou Sangaré has a powerful debut performance in Souleymane’s Story, that focuses on the humanity behind the headlines.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Brazil (1985) 98% EDIT “A new 4K restoration director’s cut reminds us that the film’s satirical depiction of everyday life in a dysfunctional dystopia remains powerfully prescient, not to mention stunningly imaginative, forty years after its original theatrical release.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Il Dono (2003) EDIT “A poetic depiction of how the passage of time has affected a place so close to Frammartino’s heart, Il Dono is a film to lose yourself in.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Rosa la rose, fille publique (1985) EDIT “Vecchiali’s stylish and subversive films have long been underseen in the United States; Rosa La Rose, Fille Publique deserves her second chance in the spotlight.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review To a Land Unknown (2024) 98% EDIT “To a Land Unknown is not an easy watch that culminates in a simple and satisfying ending. But one thing is for certain: stories like this must continue to be told, especially if we ever want the world to change.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Sealed Soil (1977) EDIT “A stunning snapshot of young womanhood in a very specific time and place, The Sealed Soil is a classic of world cinema that deserves to be discovered by new audiences.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Desert of Namibia (2024) 85% EDIT “Aesthetically pleasing but ultimately frustrating, Desert of Namibia fails to resonate despite Kawai’s substantial star power.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Caught by the Tides (2024) 99% EDIT “A sprawling story that feels both intimate and epic, Caught by the Tides epitomizes what makes Jia Zhangke one of our most essential contemporary filmmakers.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Pink Narcissus (1971) 62% EDIT “Whether or not you actually enjoy the experience of watching Pink Narcissus, there’s no denying the incredible influence Bidgood’s visual style has had on generations of artists to come after.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Man and a Woman (1966) 76% EDIT “A Man and a Woman is quite possibly the cinephile’s ultimate date night movie and most definitely a romance that will win you over.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review OBEX (2025) 96% EDIT “Like Strawberry Mansion before it, OBEX is a cinematic adventure with substantial charm in spite—or perhaps because—of its imperfections.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Bye Bye Love (1974) EDIT “A remarkable queer romance as messy and unpredictable as its protagonists, Bye Bye Love deserves its second chance in the sun.” – Film Inquiry Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Dry Leaf (2025) 91% EDIT “Dry Leaf is a film about appreciating those things and allowing them to linger on in your memory, so that you can contemplate them whenever you need comfort—and in our current world, who doesn’t?” – Film Inquiry Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% EDIT “With its leisurely running time (over two and a half hours) and dark subject matter, Sound of Falling may not be for everyone, but I couldn’t help but fall under its spell.” – Film Inquiry Nov 26, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “I strongly recommend seeing If I Had Legs I’d Kick You—then, when it’s over, take a cold shower, and never watch it again, unless you really like feeling on the verge of a panic attack for two hours. Still, as panic attacks go, it’s remarkably well done.” – Film Inquiry Nov 26, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “The importance of a film’s subject matter doesn’t automatically confer greatness upon it, and while I found much to admire about It Was Just an Accident, I was also left wanting more.” – Film Inquiry Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Miroirs No. 3 (2025) 94% EDIT “It’s a lovely little movie that, even if it feels somewhat minor in the grand scheme of Petzold’s illustrious filmography, is still worth your time.” – Film Inquiry Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% EDIT “The Mastermind roughly strips away the glamour of the average heist movie to focus instead on the mundanity of what comes afterward, as Mooney finds himself set adrift among so many others who feel as though their lives haven’t gone according to plan.” – Film Inquiry Oct 8, 2025 Full Review What Does that Nature Say to You (2025) 100% EDIT “You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you’ll want a glass of makgeolli; most importantly, watching What Does That Nature Say To You, you’ll know Hong Sang-soo has still got it.” – Film Inquiry Oct 8, 2025 Full Review
