A Poet (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “This finely shaded character study of a recalcitrant social pariah feels more than anything else like an existential parable.” – Slant Magazine Jan 25, 2026 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke’s defense of historical memory couldn’t be more timely.” – Slant Magazine Jan 12, 2026 Full Review WTO/99 (2025) 83% 2/4 EDIT “WTO/99 sets out to correct misrepresentation by corporate media about the aims of the movement, but that attempt is hampered by the recycling of much of the same news footage from news broadcasts.” – Slant Magazine Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Little Trouble Girls (2025) 98% 3/4 EDIT “The film fascinatingly shows how Catholic moral strictures and an underlying paganism where desire is holy are two sides of the same coin.” – Slant Magazine Nov 29, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 3/4 EDIT “Harris Dickinson imbues the film with a singular style, as well as a self-awareness that’s introspective without stooping to outright self-flagellation.” – Slant Magazine Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Trains (2024) 3/4 EDIT “The film's chronological rigor imparts an "on-rails" historical linearity, a sensation of inexorable progress and doom.” – Slant Magazine Sep 28, 2025 Full Review The Currents (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Milagros Mumenthaler’s attention to metaphor and subjectivity also invites comparison to Virginia Woolf’s formalist yet compassionate illumination of characters’ inner landscapes.” – Slant Magazine Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Rabbit Trap (2025) 43% 3/4 EDIT “It’s when the film plays in the gaps between sound and image that it’s most disturbing.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Sanatorium under the Sign of the Hourglass (2024) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass becomes a film about its own condition of being an outsider to its own time, lost as it is in the aesthetics of another time that it views with a kind of nostalgic disquiet.” – Slant Magazine Aug 24, 2025 Full Review Architecton (2024) 95% 3/4 EDIT “There’s a radical materialism at the foundation of Architecton, reinforcing the notion that objects, in the properties that derive from their structure, exert a subtle yet powerful agency.” – Slant Magazine Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Collective Monologue (2024) 2.5/4 EDIT “The film reveals—and urges on—a historical shift in how we relate to other living beings.” – Slant Magazine Jul 13, 2025 Full Review Kill the Jockey (2024) 86% 3/4 EDIT “Kill the Jockey’s originality consists not just in taking the clichéd metaphor of rebirth literally, but in casually ratcheting that literalness to ever more fantastical degrees.” – Slant Magazine Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Afternoons of Solitude (2024) 88% 3/4 EDIT “In the absence of any overt commentary, the film’s more open-ended choices in editing and music take on added significance.” – Slant Magazine Jun 23, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire (2024) 87% 2.5/4 EDIT “This film essay ultimately argues unconvincingly against art’s right to imagination.” – Slant Magazine Jun 1, 2025 Full Review Desert of Namibia (2024) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film is so welded to its main character’s perspective that it, too, shies away from understanding, tragic and frustrating in equal measure.” – Slant Magazine May 11, 2025 Full Review Invention (2024) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “Courtney Stephens’s film blends fiction and autobiography to fascinating implications.” – Slant Magazine Apr 13, 2025 Full Review Direct action (2024) 3/4 EDIT “We sorely need documentaries like Direct Action that can show not only the real leverage that militant mass movements can exert, but how that power can be redirected from protest to the building of autonomous communities and back again.” – Slant Magazine Apr 6, 2025 Full Review The Assessment (2024) 84% 2.5/4 EDIT “The Assessment works its way through intriguing conundrums about the motivations and qualifications of parenthood, as well as the power dynamics at play between parents and children.” – Slant Magazine Mar 17, 2025 Full Review You Burn Me (2024) 3/4 EDIT “Matías Piñeiro’s film is an intimate, impressionistic meditation on love and desire, death and memory, silence and expression.” – Slant Magazine Mar 3, 2025 Full Review The Empire (2024) 59% 2/4 EDIT “Notable as it is for evoking a kind of cosmic banality, writer-director Bruno Dumont’s anti-space opera The Empire runs into same the pitfall as many parodies of its kind.” – Slant Magazine Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Bring Them Down (2024) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “Even though Bring Them Down tells two sides of a story, those sides aren’t as counterposed as they might seem, leaving other facets of the narrative geometry turned to the side and feeling underserved.” – Slant Magazine Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Oceans Are The Real Continents  (2023) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “With the film, Tommaso Santambrogio puts neorealism in the service of dream.” – Slant Magazine Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Dream Team (2024) 2.5/4 EDIT “Dream Team’s absurdist brand flirts with an art-for-art’s-sake disengagement: the meaningless void as light entertainment, yet another opportunity for burying our heads in the sand.” – Slant Magazine Nov 12, 2024 Full Review La Cocina (2024) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “La Cocina goes further than recasting the American dream as a nightmare and the much sought-after visa as a ticket to infinite exploitation.” – Slant Magazine Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Daaaaaali! (2023) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Quentin Dupieux melts the frames that separate dream, film, and reality until they become one plate of tangled spaghetti. ” – Slant Magazine Sep 30, 2024 Full Review
