4.5/5
Captain Phillips (2013) Guillermo Troncoso Exhausting and thrilling, Captain Phillips earns its impact through sheer immediacy, placing you on the deck, in the hold, and inside the rising panic. Greengrass and his team deliver an intensely immersive experience.

Primate (2025) Guillermo Troncoso It doesn’t fully juice its best ideas, but does deliver enough blood, craft, and energy to satisfy genre fans.

4/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Safdie’s command of escalation keeps the film consistently engaging, and Chalamet’s intensity gives Marty a jagged unpredictability that makes it a journey well worth taking.

4/5
The Rip (2026) Guillermo Troncoso A gritty, well-performed thriller driven by palpable pressure and distrust. It’s not a film to dissect, but it’s a satisfying watch if you’re after something tense, mean, and contained.

3.5/5
No Other Choice (2025) Guillermo Troncoso May not be Park Chan-wook at his tightest, but it’s still a compelling, entertaining watch. Even when it overreaches, it does so with confidence, craft, and a dark sense of humour.

5/5
Hamnet (2025) Guillermo Troncoso I found myself floored by individual moments, struck by its quiet beauty and poetic touch, and undone by its unguarded honesty when confronting death and the echoes it leaves behind.

3.5/5
The Great Gatsby (2013) Guillermo Troncoso The craft on display — both behind and in front of the camera — is undeniable. Fans of Luhrmann’s signature flair will find plenty to enjoy, but the emotional core sometimes gets lost beneath all that glitter.

4/5
Nuremberg (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Nuremberg plays as a compelling, accessible historical drama with strong central performances and a clear, if sometimes overstated, sense of purpose.

4/5
Evil Dead Rise (2023) Guillermo Troncoso A slickly crafted and gleefully mean chapter of this long-running franchise. The high shock factor is made palatable (somewhat?) with a devilish sense of humour, and the film’s demonically spirited energy makes for a strong pace.

3/5
Dead of Winter (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Just enough thrills and feeling to make for a solid enough watch... A lighter touch with the sentimentality would have helped, while a bit more ambition on the action front might have lifted it further.

3/5
No Hard Feelings (2023) Guillermo Troncoso No Hard Feelings is certainly flaccid in some areas, but it does manage to stand up with the strength of its two stars and an earnest, breezy charm. It gets the job done.

4/5
Wonder Woman (2017) Guillermo Troncoso Wonder Woman is solid entertainment. It’s a lively, emotional, exciting superhero film carrying a level of optimism we could all use right now.

3/5
The Running Man (2025) Guillermo Troncoso This could have been sharper, more focused, more creative. What we’re left with is a fun, if frustratingly uneven, pursuit that never quite turns its sprint into a proper rush.
Posted Nov 14, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Predator: Badlands (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Badlands may be the cuddliest Predator yet, but it still moves, still invents, and still finds sharp ways to kill. It’s a confident tonal recalibration that widens the universe, while inevitably softening a measure of the franchise’s chill.

2.5/5
Good Fortune (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Harmless, occasionally sweet, but the humour is too gentle, the ideas too cautious, and the uplift never quite soars. Keanu Reeves gives the film its glow; the rest ambles along in his light.
Posted Nov 01, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Happyend (2024) Guillermo Troncoso Measured and occasionally piercing in how it mirrors now... As an allegory of complicity and control, its intentions are clear; the execution needs a stronger quickening of the pulse.

4.5/5
The Past (2013) Guillermo Troncoso Potent filmmaking: a multi-layered analysis of pain and love, and how they can bind us together or pull us apart. Farhadi infuses the film with a strong sense of character and emotional depth, culminating in a final moment you won’t shake in a hurry.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
American Animals (2018) Guillermo Troncoso Despite flirting with overlength by the time the credits roll, American Animals is a deft, highly entertaining blend of heist film and documentary.

3.5/5
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Certain moments grab you, while other sections drift. It never collapses, yet there are stretches thin on incident as you wait for a musical spark or a deeper crack in Bruce’s armour, something to pull us a layer closer.

2.5/5
Black Phone 2 (2025) Guillermo Troncoso It has ideas, style, and a willingness to push into new territory. But the messy script, uneven tone, and diminished Grabber keep it from matching the first film’s chill.
Posted Oct 18, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Good Boy (2025) Guillermo Troncoso The story is slight and the scares are modest, yet the perspective is distinctive, the craft careful, and the canine lead carries it.
Posted Oct 01, 2025  Edit critic review
5/5
A Quiet Place (2018) Guillermo Troncoso A Quiet Place is the type of film that comes with every piece calibrated for maximum effect, demanding that you watch, silently, as it all plays out. This, simply put, is brilliant filmmaking.

4.5/5
A Quiet Place Part II (2021) Guillermo Troncoso Krasinski skirts the Hollywood trend to simply go bigger and louder with the sequel, and instead confidently introduces us to slices of the wider world while keeping the story firmly character-driven, and still intimate. Bring on Part III.

4/5
The Long Walk (2025) Guillermo Troncoso An impactful, bleak journey with a pulse. Director Francis Lawrence adapts Stephen King’s anti-war allegory with clear purpose, building on a brutally simple conceit—keep moving or die—while still finding small pockets of warmth and wry humour.
Posted Sep 07, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Guillermo Troncoso You can feel the film reaching for a “full circle” resonance, and on the character front it mostly finds it; the scare engine, however, runs on recycled parts.
Posted Sep 06, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Caught Stealing (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Darren Aronofsky trades experimentation and provocation for pace and black comedy; the result is engaging and nimble, if more straightforward and ultimately less distinctive than you might expect from him.

3.5/5
The Shallows (2016) Guillermo Troncoso The Shallows stays afloat by keeping its premise fun, visceral and engaging.

4.5/5
Weapons (2025) Guillermo Troncoso Blending atmosphere, character, scares, and controlled brutality, it stands as one of the genre’s most impressive offerings of the year.
Posted Aug 06, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Guillermo Troncoso A proudly nasty, pitch-black comedy that tosses subtlety aside in favour of full-throttle provocation.
Posted Aug 05, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Guillermo Troncoso The film’s warm, light tone gives it charm, though it does mean First Steps doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression. It’s easy to enjoy in the moment — and just as easy to move on from once the credits roll.
Posted Aug 03, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Past Lives (2023) Guillermo Troncoso The build-up to their eventual reunion is long, and while it’s emotionally restrained by design, I found myself wanting deeper insights into their lives along the way... Still, when the final act arrives, it’s quietly powerful.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Strays (2023) Guillermo Troncoso The joke-per-minute ratio is high and the hit rate varies. A lot of the dog-perspective humour feels too obvious or lazy to really land, and much of it ends up being repeated. Luckily, the runtime is short, so it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Equalizer 3 (2023) Guillermo Troncoso A blood-soaked threequel that should tick off the right boxes for carnage enthusiasts. There’s no denying the thrill of watching McCall dismantle enemies with ease. But with so few credible threats, the tension quickly fades.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
The Nun II (2023) Guillermo Troncoso A parade of well-worn horror clichés. The characters are thinly written, their motivations barely sketched out, and the scares rely heavily on setups that have been done to death. You’ve seen this kind of thing before — and better.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Creator (2023) Guillermo Troncoso The world-building is rich, the characters feel lived-in, and the emotional beats hit more often than not.

2.5/5
Saw X (2023) Guillermo Troncoso If you’re a massive fan of the franchise, you may enjoy this angle on Kramer’s story. For everyone else, it’s a game you don’t really have to play.
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Napoleon (2023) Guillermo Troncoso Visually, impressive stuff... It’s the episodic way that the narrative unfolds and the cold, detached approach to the characterisation that, unfortunately, holds back much-needed dramatic power.
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Boy and the Heron (2023) Guillermo Troncoso It’s trying to land something big, emotionally, but it doesn't quite get there... Still, even if it didn’t fully click, it’s another imaginative piece from Miyazaki. Not one of my favourites, but worth seeing for the artistry alone.
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Leave the World Behind (2023) Guillermo Troncoso We’ve seen similar ideas before, but Leave the World Behind holds its own. It’s well-acted, confidently directed, and tense enough to keep you watching — even if it doesn’t quite stick every landing.
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Dream Scenario (2023) Guillermo Troncoso Dream Scenario has an interesting concept that it explores in creative and thought-provoking fashion before it, unfortunately, runs out of steam... Cage is fantastic.

4.5/5
Together (2025) Guillermo Troncoso What begins as a sharply observed character piece gradually transforms into one of the year’s most distinctive genre hybrids — a body-horror romance where the metaphor isn’t buried deep, but bleeding through the surface.
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Guillermo Troncoso While the film doesn’t stray too far from the formula that made the original a success, it offers enough nostalgia and fresh elements to keep both longtime fans and newcomers entertained.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) Guillermo Troncoso Though it falls short of the emotional weight and precision of Reeves’ previous chapters, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is still a solid addition—bridging sequel and reboot territory with confidence.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
IF (2024) Guillermo Troncoso A well-meaning, earnest picture with a number of things to say. It’s also a bit of a tonally inconsistent and narratively illogical jumble.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Fall Guy (2024) Guillermo Troncoso Laughs, romance, stunts. The Fall Guy sticks the landing.

4/5
Abigail (2024) Guillermo Troncoso The film delivers as advertised: blood and guts, an on-point cast, a witty screenplay, and a fun take on various well-trodden genre tropes.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Barbie (2023) Guillermo Troncoso The passion here is clear, but when characters stop the action to deliver monologues, the tone and humour get sidelined... It’s hard to ignore the fact that this is a high-gloss branding exercise - and a bit of an ironic one at that.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Immaculate (2024) Guillermo Troncoso A compact little horror-thriller that benefits from a tight runtime and a sense of escalating madness, leading to a bloody finale that you won’t be forgetting in a while.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Civil War (2024) Guillermo Troncoso The visuals are stunning, the action kinetic and clear, the set-pieces tight and nerve-wracking (that scene with Jesse Plemons… yeesh). It’s well-crafted cinema.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Boy Kills World (2023) Guillermo Troncoso Have to hand it to Boy Kills World for taking a number of large swings; it just doesn’t land enough of them to rack up a high damage score... A tighter runtime and a more focused screenplay would have elevated the material considerably.
