Marty Supreme (2025) Mauricio Jarufe Caballero If at times Safdie's direction may seem a bit emotionally detached, and one might think it lacks soul, there's no doubt it has heart to spare—a passionate heart, pumping at full power, in a constant state of pressure and urgency.[Full review in Spanish]

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Marcelo Paredes The division into chapters, which initially seemed like an interesting way to fill the gaps between one story and another, ultimately feels too simplistic and schematic. [Full review in Spanish]

Sinners (2025) Javier Alejandro Ramos Sinners masterfully blends a range of subgenres, boasts a gripping pace, a brilliant cast, and a soundtrack that's a love letter to the blues. [Full review in Spanish]

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn An atypical drama with musical touches, where verosimilitude and fantasy come together to develop a universe of religious fervour and fanaticism. [Full review in Spanish].

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Marcelo Paredes [Fire and Ash] maintains the level of excellence to which Cameron has accustomed us. To say that the formula is worn out or that there's nothing left to say strikes me as a mistake. [Full review in Spanish]

Ariel (2025) Marcelo Paredes It's a visually impeccable film, but one that's timid in its choices, remaining adrift amidst beautiful images and conceptual digressions that are repeated ad nauseam. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5
Is This Thing On? (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn The story's structure is predictable—so much so that you'll probably be able to guess the ending from the first minute—but the performances are so good and the tone so honest and relatable that it doesn't end up mattering much. [Full Review in Spanish].

4/5
Rental Family (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It never becomes overly melodramatic or heavy-handed, and although it deals with shades of grey in some of the themes it touches on, it doesn't delve too deeply into them, contenting itself with delivering a feel-good experience. [Full review in Spanish].

Jay Kelly (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Even though the film's central message isn't particularly groundbreaking, Baumbach manages to deliver an entertaining, emotional, and expertly acted experience that allows the viewer to understand this egotistical character. [Full review in Spanish].

After the Hunt (2025) Marcelo Paredes While not entirely satisfying, [the film] demonstrates that when [Luca Guadagnino] manages to rein in his impulses and focus his ideas, he can produce films that unsettle, provoke, and spark necessary debates. [Full review in Spanish]

Bugonia (2025) Nilton Arana 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]

4/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Yes, it has tragic and terribly emotional moments, but overall, it should be able to leave its audience with a big smile on their faces and, of course, with several Neil Diamond songs etched in their minds. [Full review in Spanish].

Frankenstein (2025) Marcelo Paredes ...despite the problems in the second half...Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is a film of interest, both for what it achieves remarkably and for what it elevates, both aspects capable of sparking lengthy debates. [Full review in Spanish]

Hamnet (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It tells us a lot about the power of art and how it can serve as a form of personal expression, being used not only to tell stories and entertain, but also as a channel for emotional release. [Full review in Spanish].

No Other Choice (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn An uneven but entertaining satire of extreme capitalism and the perception of masculinity in Korea, where a man who has always worked in the same field wants to continue working in the same field, regardless of how he is treated.

Bugonia (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Pay attention to what it tells us about the differences between rich and poor, the abuse of the general public by pharmaceutical companies, and how much the internet affects people prone to developing conspiracy theories. [Full Review in Spanish].

It Was Just an Accident (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn An absurdly funny, powerfully dramatic, and delightfully rebellious film. It's everything we should expect from Jafar Panahi at this point, especially now that he can supposedly make films with fewer restrictions than before. [Full review in Spanish].

La Grazia (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Servillo is excellent as Mariano; the supporting cast is superb, and although the overall experience could have been more emotionally charged, it remains intellectually stimulating. [Full review in Spanish].

Sentimental Value (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It is unlike few other dramas of its kind. Instead of becoming a predictable tearjerker, it develops emotional situations gradually, allowing its characters to breathe and consider their circumstances with relative calm. [Full review in Spanish].

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Ricardo Mendoza ...if the Godard of 1960 broke the rules to turn the street into a laboratory, Linklater of 2025 replicates that laboratory to remind us that cinema, when it dares, can once again be about risk. [Full review in Spanish]

Frankenstein (2025) Ricardo Mendoza ..after seeing the film, I bought a copy to revisit [Frankenstein] with a fresh perspective. Perhaps therein lies the film's true impact: to provoke curious minds to draw from the source and broaden their own vision. [Full review in Spanish]

Die My Love (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn It's not a traditionally entertaining film. It demands that the viewer grapple with themes that are not usually presented so bluntly, either in film or in real life. [Full review in Spanish].

Shelby Oaks (2023) Sebastian Zavala Kahn While it may be predictable, what Stuckmann delivers is well done, frequently tense and terrifying, and most importantly, it feels personal. He may still have room for improvement, but that's why I'm eager to see his next film. [Full review in Spanish].

Anemone (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn The acting is sublime, from Day-Lewis to Sean Bean and Samantha Morton. But overall, the film is completely conventional and predictable, telling us little about trauma, parent-child relationships, and guilt. [Full review in Spanish].

Sirāt (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn A journey through earthly hell, represented by the Moroccan desert. Arid, hot, and devoid of people—except for a few ravers—it is the perfect place to put our main characters through the wringer. [Full review in Spanish].

Hedda (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn 'Hedda' may not be a masterpiece, but thanks to its themes, its superlative technical aspects, and of course, the great work of its cast (especially Thompson, Poots and Hoss), this production ends up being fascinating. [Full review in Spanish].

Perfect Blue (1997) Marcelo Paredes ...Perfect Blue still resonates today because it exposes the evolution of the gaze and the manipulation of the image. Kon shows how a protagonist can be molded by those around her and also by the audience that consumes her. [Full review in Spanish]

Frankenstein (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn Del Toro uses no subtext, but considering the nature of the story and Netflix viewers' impatience, it doesn't matter. He's brought Frankenstein to life. And like the Creature itself, the film is both flawed and deeply human. [Full review in Spanish].

100 Nights of Hero (2025) Sebastian Zavala Kahn A film about the importance of stories, the resilience of women who always wanted a better life, and the constant way the repression of minorities has been throughout human history, represented here in a fantastical context. [Full review in Spanish].
