After This Death (2025) 50% 5/10 EDIT “There are kernels of good ideas, but they never grow into anything significant, leaving Maestro with the thankless task of delivering a nuanced, compelling performance at odds with the drab, almost lethargic mood and cliché-ridden writing” – Next Best Picture Jun 20, 2025 Full Review What Marielle Knows (2025) 8/10 EDIT “Every word is carefully measured, and every shot is exquisitely planned to capture the silent indignation of a girl fed up with being lied to and of her elders, who gradually realize their impeccable public façade is about to crumble.” – Next Best Picture Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Fixed (2025) 56% 8/10 EDIT “At its raunchiest, it puts something like "Sausage Party" completely to shame.” – Next Best Picture Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Heads or Tails? (2025) 91% 8/10 EDIT “Still, the directors’ vision is admirably and joyfully consistent from start to finish, as it embraces even the maddest ideas to guide the story toward its natural, exhilarating conclusion.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2025 Full Review The Love That Remains (2025) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Said transformation is handled with gentle maturity, as Pálmason aims to capture the more mundane aspects of the separation rather than going melodramatically big as the genre is often inclined to do and lets their feelings come out naturally” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2025 Full Review The Last One for the Road (2025) 7/10 EDIT “And while the destination of this journey is abundantly clear, it’s the trip itself that matters, and this love letter to the part of Italy the director grew up in easily transcends its local specificity to touch upon relatable themes and feelings.” – Next Best Picture May 30, 2025 Full Review 13 Days 13 Nights (2025) 6/10 EDIT “On the plus side, besides the pacing, which is quite efficient (perhaps a bit too much in the context of conveying this specific passage of time), the performances are all solid and engaging” – Next Best Picture May 26, 2025 Full Review Fuori (2025) 57% 7/10 EDIT ““Fuori,” perhaps on a double bill with Golino’s “The Art of Joy,” serves as a good entry point for those interested in knowing more about a vastly underrated writer whose texts, while sometimes verbose, were always rich and entrancing” – Next Best Picture May 20, 2025 Full Review The Great Arch (2025) 7/10 EDIT “The film is both a monument (pun not intended) to a great and perhaps overlooked visionary and a funny indictment of the system that wanted him to do his thing but not too much of it.” – Next Best Picture May 19, 2025 Full Review The Old Woman with the Knife (2025) 93% 6/10 EDIT “Fans of Korean action films may get their money’s worth via the well-crafted moments of pure spectacle. For Hong Sang-soo aficionados, they might justifiably be curious to see Lee Hye-young in a different cinematic environment.” – Next Best Picture May 16, 2025 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 95% 7/10 EDIT “This story is told in a more straightforward manner, with any laughs from viewers more likely to be an attempt at relief in the face of unrelenting bureaucratic bleakness and tension that underscores every elongated dialogue scene.” – Next Best Picture May 16, 2025 Full Review Raptures (2025) 4/5 EDIT “While some prime Finnish actors, including Alma Pöysti, round out the cast, this is largely a two-hander between Grabowsky and Öhrman, an acting duel revolving around the thorny question of identity: national, linguistic, religious.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Shadowland (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Rarely has a filmmaker questioned their own work’s reason for existing as thoroughly as Otso Tiainen does here, with the second half turning into an introspective journey down an increasingly terrifying rabbit hole.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Emmanuelle (2024) 18% 5/10 EDIT “Even as the film's climax approaches, Merlant's confident performance is somewhat constrained by a movie that, unlike its protagonist, is somewhat reluctant to go all the way.” – Next Best Picture Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 55% 7/10 EDIT “When they really get it right, these movies put most contemporary live-action comedies to shame, even with something as simple and gloriously juvenile as a well-placed piece of toilet humor.” – Next Best Picture Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Veteran 2: I, the Executioner (2024) 100% 7/10 EDIT “What it lacks in terms of character study, it makes up for in being a very kinetic experience, the ideal treat for the midnight crowds that will undoubtedly embrace it on the festival circuit after the bombastic Cannes premiere.” – Next Best Picture Jun 14, 2024 Full Review The Shameless (2024) 57% 5/10 EDIT “As Renuka, Sengupta exudes the raw and vibrant defiance the film is supposed to embody, making “The Shameless” a flawed but nonetheless intriguing calling card.” – Next Best Picture Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Souleymane's Story (2024) 100% 8/10 EDIT “The handheld camera never takes a break from following Sangare and capturing even the smallest emotional nuance on his face, with an added urgency during the delivery scenes, which is achieved by having a cameraman on a bike alongside the protagonist” – Next Best Picture Jun 10, 2024 Full Review The Damned (2024) 64% 7/10 EDIT “Even with a brisk runtime of 88 minutes, the first act of Minervini’s American Civil War drama, “The Damned,” may feel as long as the duration of the entire Civil War. Whether that’s a positive or a negative is up to the individual viewer.” – Next Best Picture Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Being Maria (2024) 60% 4/10 EDIT “Still, while Anamaria Vartolomei brings her customary pained intensity to the role of Schneider, her male co-stars appear to be misdirected throughout” – Next Best Picture Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Dog on Trial (2024) 79% 7/10 EDIT “With her ample acting experience, Dosch draws unsurprisingly solid and funny performances from the entire cast, even with parts that are only a few seconds long ” – Next Best Picture Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Filmlovers! (2024) 100% 7/10 EDIT “But, at the end of the day, it gets the job done: inspiring a desire to step into the nearest theater for another serving of big-screen delight. ” – Next Best Picture Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Ghost Trail (2024) 97% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a quietly thrilling spy film that remembers the genre is primarily about people rather than gadgets and explosions.” – Next Best Picture May 22, 2024 Full Review
