The Rip (2026) Ruben Peralta Rigaud A thriller that starts strong and atmospheric, builds top-notch paranoia, and then shifts gears into more generic action. Damon and Affleck elevate it. The first half justifies it. The second half simplifies it. [Full review in Spanish]

No Other Choice (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Park doesn't choose a single axis; he lets them coexist uncomfortably. Just like in real life. [Full review in Spanish]

Sirāt (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Stays with you like strange dreams do: you don't remember all the details, but you remember the state of your body. The bass's drone. The sand. The sensation of walking on a razor's edge, with hell below and a glimpse of paradise. [Full review in Spanish]

Zootopia 2 (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Ultimately, Zootopia 2 doesn't aspire to be a revolution. But it is a reaffirmation that the franchise can grow without losing its soul, and that the playful energy of the original lives on. [Full review in Spanish]

Jay Kelly (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud In the end, Jay Kelly doesn't try to reinvent cinema or redefine Baumbach's filmography. Rather, it's a film that allows itself to be honest, luminous at times, fragile at others, and deeply aware of the passage of time. [Full review in Spanish]

Train Dreams (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Few films manage to capture the beauty of the ordinary without betraying its harshness. This one does. Train Dreams breathes, it hurts, it comforts. [Full review in Spanish]

Bugonia (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud The film prevails through its accumulation: Stone and Plemons stretch the thread until it cracks; Lanthimos fine-tunes his ear to the times; and, when the punchline arrives, the laughter hurts where it should. [Full review in Spanish]

Black Phone 2 (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud It's a film that's less frightening than its predecessor, but resonates more like an elegy. [Full review in Spanish]

After the Hunt (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud After the Hunt doesn't seek to please or provoke out of sheer rebellion. It's a film that demands attention, that earns its own respect by refusing to be easily digested. [Full review in Spanish]

Lovely Day (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud In that tension between celebration and collapse, between music that promises harmony and the mind that insists on chaos, Lovely Day stands as one of the most honest and moving looks at anxiety in recent cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

Blue Moon (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Richard Linklater has made many portraits of time. This is perhaps one of his most intimate and saddest. And Ethan Hawke, in one of the best performances of his career, accompanies him with a heartbreaking dedication. [Full review in Spanish]

Hedda (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud In the end, Hedda isn't a perfect film. It's a brave one. One that dares to explore female desire with rage and elegance, that transforms a classic into something radically contemporary. [Full review in Spanish]

Orphan (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud It's ambitious, rigorously executed, and, at its best, unsettling. But it's also a self-enclosed work, privileging form over life, concept over character. [Full review in Spanish]

Hamnet (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Many will say that Hamnet is "too sad," "too slow," "too interior." But those who know how to surrender to it, those who are willing to look loss in the face, will find in this film not a tragedy, but a form of redemption. [Full review in Spanish]

Frankenstein (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud There is a contemporary interpretation in this story that speaks to the present: fear of the other, rejection of what we don't understand, the instrumentalization of life. [Full review in Spanish]

A Poet (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud It's an honest, uncomfortable, and deeply necessary work. Not so much for what it says about poetry, but for what it reveals about the people who cling to it as a last refuge from their own irrelevance. [Full review in Spanish]

The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud In the end, Assayas doesn't seek to humanize the monster, but rather to show how the monster is often a collective construction. And in that construction, the narrative is everything. [Full review in Spanish]

It Was Just an Accident (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Panahi keeps filming because he has no other choice. Because as long as there's a camera, there's a way to resist. And in that sense, every frame of this film is an act of courage. [Full review in Spanish]

The Secret Agent (2025) Ruben Peralta Rigaud Filho doesn't give us easy answers or cartoonish villains. He gives us a country in the raw, a broken but dignified protagonist, and a carnival that, amid laughter, reminds us that you can also dance on graves. [Full review in Spanish]
