Io Capitano (2023) 96% EDIT “... The movie has the genuine intention of giving visibility to a collective phenomenon from an individual experience without resorting to emotional manipulation or political activism. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 5, 2024 Full Review The Color Purple (2023) 81% EDIT “... All in all, the film is not a disagreeable red, but rather an opaque color that does not come close to the desired vivid color purple. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Wonka (2023) 82% EDIT “Paul King's theatrical and caricaturesque style is consistent and that makes Wonka feel authentic. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Dec 11, 2023 Full Review May December (2023) 91% EDIT “Challenging, but extremely entertaining. Difficult to explain, but easy to understand. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% EDIT “While the underdeveloped plot isn't a minor issue, the magnificent scenes on the battlefield elevate the film to a privileged place in the director's filmography... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Fair Play (2023) 86% EDIT “Fair Play is, essentially, an intense drama that some previous opinions classified as an erotic thriller, although it is legitimately decaffeinated in this subject... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Oct 9, 2023 Full Review No One Will Save You (2023) 83% EDIT “No One Will Save You is a terrifying, immersive and revealing experience... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% EDIT “Oppenheimer is Nolan, Nolan, and more Nolan. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% EDIT “The message is more powerful than what we can see with the naked eye, but we will not be able to see it if we believe this film is... an 'anti-men' film. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jul 24, 2023 Full Review The Castle (2023) 89% EDIT “The Castle is a relatable documentary that's nostalgic and hopeful with a bittersweet flavor, just like Latin America itself. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 8, 2023 Full Review Rye Lane (2023) 98% EDIT “Distinct, fresh, and eclectic. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me (2022) 97% EDIT “Selena's internal struggles are more valuable than some of the trivial themes My Mind and Me broaches, but the film finds its ground and becomes a documentary that's beneficial to society... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Catherine Called Birdy (2022) 89% EDIT “We don't need an excessively tragic or forceful film, empathy for the protagonist suffices to get behind the female empowerment message that Dunham always stamps on her work. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Blonde (2022) 43% EDIT “Blonde accomplishes the director's objective of portraying a martyr, a victim of the fame monster. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Don't Worry Darling (2022) 38% EDIT “The rhythm and protagonist's stakes may camouflage the empty discourses, but the film's one unforgivable fault is its blatant feminist empowerment message and critique against the patriarchy that is ultimately fragile and bland. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 26, 2022 Full Review Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022) 94% EDIT “... An intimate and personal experience that's particularly insightful and charming. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 1, 2022 Full Review Girl Picture (2022) 97% EDIT “The script doesn't take us to new places or present novel observations, yet Haapasalo builds a conducing and cozy environment for the three protagonists to explore themselves with sensibility... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jul 25, 2022 Full Review Elvis (2022) 77% EDIT “A standardized musical biopic with a few authorial strokes, though with an identifying feature that makes this film a must-see and that is its protagonist [Austin Butler]. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) 93% EDIT “This is the true virtue that catapults this film into an instant classic: It finds beauty in the ordinary. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Cha Cha Real Smooth (2022) 85% EDIT “The intentions of the screenplay are clear, and it's embellished with an affable humor... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jun 21, 2022 Full Review Lightyear (2022) 74% EDIT “I'd have to go back to my childhood to prove this, but it's likely I'd prefer Sox over the Space Ranger.

[Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 31, 2022 Full Review The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) 87% EDIT “Enjoyable, but it won't go beyond being a "Sunday" movie. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 31, 2022 Full Review Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood (2022) 91% EDIT “A simple but authentic story, whose main purpose is to remember a time when you could be happy in a different way than the actual one.
