Bugonia (2025) 88% EDIT “ Building on [Yorgos Lanthimos'] signature visual style, Bugonia rests on a gripping script that tackles relevant themes without resorting to moralizing, challenging our understanding of power, abandonment, and blind faith. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Guo Ran (2025) EDIT “Without explanatory dialogue other than the medical procedures, portraying the emotional level of its characters is the film's greatest achievement. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Zafari (2024) EDIT “Within the genres it claims to cover, drama is latent but teeters between simplified representations and forced situations; dark humor seems to be an excuse to cover up dangerous ideologies. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Karuara, People of the River (2024) EDIT “...Karuara, People of the River goes beyond its lively scenes and fully dives into the revaluation of non-Westernized lifestyles, language, stories and customs that forge their unique and unforgettable identity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Kill the Jockey (2024) 86% EDIT “...Kill the Jockey is neither provocative nor interesting, if anything it is simply curious and entertaining at times. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Julie Keeps Quiet (2024) 93% EDIT “Well-acted and skillfully directed, Julie Keeps Quiet rises as the other side of Tár (2022); as a voice that reemerges from trauma... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Nov 25, 2024 Full Review The Empire (2024) 59% EDIT “While the film is enriched by its philosophical subtext, it crumbles in its execution. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Oct 29, 2024 Full Review A Boat Departed from Me Taking Me Away (2024) EDIT “By questioning generational and cultural differences that disfigure human dignity... A Boat Departed from Me Taking Me Away remains afloat through the respect and closeness with which it treats its protagonist. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Reas (2024) 100% EDIT “Proudly queer, Reas establishes itself as a cinematographic experiment endowed with humanism; a playful and empowering look at those typically marginalized by society. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 12, 2024 Full Review The Other Son (2023) 100% EDIT “Whether a journey of maturation or an enervating soap opera, the ineffective tonal changes along with its derivative nature result in an inconsistent exploration of grief but also, a sharp mimesis of postmodern values. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Blaga's Lessons (2023) 100% EDIT “Hard as marble, like a bitter drink of whiskey, there is no one who can take away from this film its ability to generate apathy or discomfort, key emotions to question a reality that, in itself, leaves much to be desired. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Holy Cow (2024) 98% EDIT “Treating the protagonist and his reality with the utmost respect, the pictorial naturalism of the panoramic views and the mundanity of daily life result in a fine experience. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 24, 2024 Full Review The Other Way Around (2024) 91% EDIT “The power of the narrative lies in uncertainty, in revisiting images with a different perspective, and in living in a continuous flow of circles, waves, and horizontal lines. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 21, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% EDIT “... Behind the mask lies a solid exploration of human vulnerability, whether in the face of carnal desire or the lust for power. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 6, 2024 Full Review Hundreds of Beavers (2022) 97% EDIT “Fervently crafted, it is not a work of dense thematization, but rather a versatile experiment in constant growth. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Apr 8, 2024 Full Review American Fiction (2023) 93% EDIT “Oscar bait or not, Jefferson offers an enjoyable and formidably executed examination, a complex fiction that flirts with reality and its reason for being. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Mar 6, 2024 Full Review DogMan (2023) 59% EDIT “Besson doesn't quite hit the mark between reality and fiction but still offers enough to tune in again. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Asteroid City (2023) 76% EDIT “Far from being a self-indulgent practice of superfluous beauty, it is a movie that can be enjoyed from beginning to end without failing to explore ideas with certain depth. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 22, 2023 Full Review The Echo (2023) 100% EDIT “From within its audiovisual properties, this experience generates potency in the quotidian, an environment where hope and disillusionment are daily occurrences. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 14, 2023 Full Review To Catch a Killer (2023) 53% EDIT “Szifron's movie recalls the best of David Fincher by being able to create a fast-paced hunt loaded with psychological elements. Also, it adds small touches of acid humor typical of his work. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jul 24, 2023 Full Review The Whale (2022) 64% EDIT “A strangely hopeful story that manages to stay on the surface even as it seems to sink into mediocrity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Women Talking (2022) 90% EDIT “The film isn't capable of reaching its ambitious intentions due to its unsubtle and realist execution. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Mar 1, 2023 Full Review The Fabelmans (2022) 92% EDIT “Beyond romanticizing the filmmaking profession, the film proliferates by sincerely showing the sacrifice and work required to surrender to it. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Cinencuentro Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Holy Spider (2022) 82% EDIT “Abbasi strives to make his film as realistic as possible; his camera is handheld, shaky, and he directs his actors to interact credibly, most notably in the scenes where the assassin intervenes with his victims. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 7, 2023 Full Review El Crítico (2022) EDIT “If not a remarkable documentary, it is still a sufficiently well-founded look at the controversial critic's life. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Cinencuentro Jan 20, 2023 Full Review
