Palestine 36
(2025)

A sweeping yet intimate historical epic, Palestine 36 revisits the roots of conflict with clarity and restraint. Anchored by strong performances and a humanist gaze, Annemarie Jacir turns history into a necessary act of remembrance.

The Captive
(2025)
|
Dionar Hidalgo
|
A polished and ambitious historical drama that finds poetry in imagination as survival, but plays it a bit too safe. Elegant, provocative at times, yet oddly restrained for a film about the birth of literary madness.

A visually striking and melancholic take on the time-loop premise. Akimoto’s anime finds beauty in repetition and despair, but its thin characterization and rushed emotional turns keep it from fully blooming.

Paternal Leave
(2025)
|
Dionar Hidalgo

A quiet, honest debut that finds emotional power in silences and small gestures. Juli Grabenhenrich is a revelation, and Luca Marinelli brings fragile restraint, even if the film hesitates to fully explore the weight of absent fatherhood.

A restrained and competent infiltration thriller, anchored by a solid lead performance. Díaz Yanes builds tension and historical context, but the film’s didactic tone and shallow psychology keep it from digging deeper into its troubling subject.
