4/5
No Other Choice (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola No Other Choice is the kind of film that feels ripped from today’s headlines, even though it’s based on a novel from 1997... Park Chan-wook has made a film that’s darkly funny, viscerally uncomfortable, and disturbingly prescient.

4/5
A Miracle (2024) Paul Emmanuel Enicola [Diokno's] innovative storytelling ensures the film doesn’t feel like a pro-shot of a stage play but a fully realized reimagining that harnesses the intimacy of theater and the grandeur of cinema.

5/5
One Battle After Another (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola [Anderson] doesn’t just glance toward the present—he charges into it, headlong and unapologetic...swapping the gauzy comfort of period detail for the raw immediacy of a contemporary America riven by fear, racism, and a new strain of authoritarian bravado.

3.5/5
The Naked Gun (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone—God help the viewer who walks in expecting subtlety—but if you surrender to the idiocy, you might discover, as I did, that stupidity can be its own kind of bliss.

2.5/5
Materialists (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Perhaps the fairest way to see Materialists is as a transitional work. Song isn’t repeating herself, which is admirable; she’s instead simply trying to map the economics of intimacy in a way few filmmakers have dared.

3.5/5
Superman (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola James Gunn’s kickoff to the DC Universe is a mixed bag in depicting the hero. But capturing the man? That part’s SUPER.
Posted Jul 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Green Bones (2024) Paul Emmanuel Enicola As a social commentary indicting the corrupt and broken justice system in the Philippines, [Green Bones] doesn’t entirely succeed ... But as a straight drama, there’s nothing more you could ask for.

Bound (2023) Federico Furzan Bound is a painfully honest, but ultimately hopeful film. Alexandra Faye Sadeghian is staggering.

Betray: Thirst (2025) Federico Furzan Betray: Thirst has the dramatic drive to make you think, and in the indie-verse it's part of, that's enough.
Posted May 09, 2025  Edit critic review
The Bad Patriots (2024) Federico Furzan Especially designed for fans of Loach and Corbyn, and a strong comment against censorship in the modern world.
Posted May 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Final Recovery (2024) Federico Furzan Harvey Wallen's genre-bending approach is much better than I imagined. This is really, really interesting.
Posted May 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Zebra and the Bear (2024) Federico Furzan An essential piece about human resiliency. Patrick O'Connor is impressive.

3/5
Drop (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Let’s be clear: Drop is stupid. But it’s the good kind of stupid. You know, the kind that knows exactly what it is, embraces it with both arms, and cartwheels through a plate-glass window just for the hell of it.
Posted May 05, 2025  Edit critic review
¡Quba! (2025) Federico Furzan An uplifting, yet biased glance into the rights of a marginalized community in Cuba.
Posted Apr 12, 2025  Edit critic review
We Were Dangerous (2024) Federico Furzan A powerful statement about resilience in the face of adversity.

1.5/5
Disney's Snow White (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Zegler is the film’s only saving grace, bringing warmth, strength, and sincerity to a script that doesn’t deserve her.

4/5
Companion (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola [Companion] may not be as nuanced as the classics that came before it, but it earns its place in the conversation—especially in a world that inches closer to its premise every day.
Posted Mar 26, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Novocaine (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Novocaine never fully interrogates the implications of its own premise ... While it provides a visceral thrill, it leaves behind an uneasy aftertaste—one that stays longer than its bruises.

3.5/5
Mickey 17 (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola [Mickey 17 is] a fascinating, slightly unwieldy piece of work: thought-provoking, darkly funny, occasionally frustrating.
Posted Mar 08, 2025  Edit critic review
New Jack Fury (2025) Federico Furzan An '80s-based buddy cop movie that's completely bananas. And awesome!
Posted Mar 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Stress Is Killing Me (2024) Federico Furzan A heartwarming and silly college comedy without the raunchy R-rated stuff.
Posted Mar 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Confesiones Chin Chin (2024) Federico Furzan A very honest depiction of counterculture. When the credits rolled in Confesiones Chin Chin, I felt that I had spent a couple of minutes with interesting friends that I wanted to know better, beyond the typically superfluous party at a bar.

2.5/5
Espantaho (2024) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Either a showcase of the work of a filmmaker who... has carved a reputation as an influential figure in the Philippine supernatural horror genre, or an old head who hasn’t been able to elevate his stylistic storytelling to keep up with the times.
Posted Feb 15, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Kingdom (2025) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Based on ambition alone, The Kingdom is worth the price of admission. But as an over-expository, overlong, and over-the-top exercise, it might not be the best choice.

2/5
And the Breadwinner Is... (2024) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Neither the slapstick nor the camp blend well with the dramatic moments here, and the film’s most powerful scene in the third act is undone by a reveal that, while hinted at earlier, still never feels earned.
Posted Jan 21, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Uninvited (2024) Paul Emmanuel Enicola Even when the camp takes hold in a third act that generally underwhelms, Vilma Santos and Aga Muhlach’s performances are more than enough to offset the film’s other shortcomings.
Posted Jan 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Side of Bad (2023) Federico Furzan A compelling depiction of mental health issues that makes you care for its morally flawed characters.
Posted Dec 27, 2024  Edit critic review
5/5
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Paul Emmanuel Enicola This is an epic masterpiece that dares its audience to challenge their own perception of mortality; all the while straddling them for a cosmic, vortex-bound interstellar ride that’s equally breathtaking and terrifying.
Posted Dec 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Alien Love (2024) Federico Furzan An obvious affirmation of Hill's love for B-movie tropes.
Posted Dec 20, 2024  Edit critic review
Mr. Santa: A Christmas Extravaganza (2024) Federico Furzan Mr. Santa has enough heart and Christmas cheer to make you root for independent comedies.

5/5
Selling Superman (2024) Federico Furzan Selling Superman is a fascinating journey through a culture we won't ever understand, unless we become part of it.

3/5
Speak Sunlight (2023) Federico Furzan Speak Sunlight is a very compelling drama that tells a universal story, all in the hands of veteran Carmen Machi.
Posted Dec 10, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
Curry Scent (2024) Federico Furzan An honest comedy about cultural views that are hard to comprehend. But it will surely make you laugh at some point.

3/5
I, Portrait (2019) Federico Furzan I, Portrait is a good example of Nathan Hill making a brave jump at something of higher quality. A steamy thriller with a cool twist.

3/5
The Big Dog (2023) Federico Furzan Whether you connect with Richard's quest to leave his old lifestyle or not, The Big Dog is a bold approach to its subgenre that some will find appealing.

Posted Nov 28, 2024  Edit critic review

Daruma (2023) Federico Furzan An emotional ride and a hot piece that advocates without getting too melodramatic.

4.5/5
Breakup Season (2024) Federico Furzan Breakup Season is an honest depiction of disaster, the size of which is only visible from the perspective of its two very well-designed lead characters.
Posted Nov 25, 2024  Edit critic review
Colourblind (2017) Federico Furzan Nathan Hill experiments with a more dramatic film, and he keeps on making a difference in indie film territory.
Posted Nov 24, 2024  Edit critic review
Model Behaviour (2013) Federico Furzan If you’re into indie thrillers (and those that get steamy from time to time), and Hill’s library, then this is right up your alley. Or a spike-ridden runway.

4/5
Step Back, Doors Closing (2024) Federico Furzan Step Back, Doors Closing is a decent example of the disruption that romantic comedies need
Posted Nov 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Revenge of the Gweilo (2016) Federico Furzan Revenge of the Gweilo is an entertaining piece of ultraviolent B-movie madness. If you're into campy martial arts films, give this one a try.
Posted Nov 19, 2024  Edit critic review
Escape from Extinction Rewilding (2024) Federico Furzan Unlike other films of this nature, Escape from Extinction Rewilding is an eye-opener to the possibility of saving animals from extinction.

The Birds Who Fear Death (2024) Federico Furzan A quick drama that won't change the world but it offers a deep look into a culture we need to observe more often.
