Little Trouble Girls (2025) 98% EDIT “Begins to move with less momentum and potency in its back end [but] on the whole it remains a sturdy and effective drama confidently assembled by the debuting Djukić.” – In Review Online Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Rebuilding (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A simple but humane story, guided by O’Connor’s performance and the soft rhythms of the plot.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 11, 2025 Full Review The Stranger (2025) 88% EDIT “An ending so flat and drained of vitality that viewers are left to feel nothing but profoundly detached. The irony. ” – In Review Online Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Saipan (2025) 90% EDIT “A film that manages to be both riveting and uproariously funny at various points.” – In Review Online Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Kontinental '25 (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kontinental ’25 is what you expect from Radu Jude at this point, not just in what his films say, but how it is being said.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sophy Romvari’s magnificent feature debut Blue Heron takes a brilliant approach in looking at trauma, memory and cinema’s ability to process both.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It is Hadi’s focus on the connections between Lamia and the world around her that define The President’s Cake, and he pulls it off poetically.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Let’s quickly cut to the chase. Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet will leave you devastated.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “It is a deftly crafted film about a non-committed man with misguided hubris, seeing the consequences of his actions finally catch up to him.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 20, 2025 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 97% EDIT “A remarkable film and a special debut.” – In Review Online Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Dry Leaf (2025) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Shot entirely on a Sony Ericsson, Alexandre Koberidze’s Dry Leaf journeys through rural football fields in Georgia for an artful, distinctive and singular film.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Romería (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Appropriately, for a film enamoured with its sea setting and boats (its main character’s name even means “of the sea”), Romería is a gentle wave of a film. And it has enough style to keep you invested in Simón’s deeply personal story.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 6, 2025 Full Review The Regulars (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Set at the Prince Charles Cinema and featuring its staff, The Regulars is a very enjoyable workplace comedy drama that is a perfect tribute to the iconic cinema.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Network (1976) 90% 5/5 EDIT “Network acted as a troubling warning of where we were heading when it came to media, populist messages, commercialism, sensationalism and corporate dominance over all those fields. Perhaps we should have listened.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Militantropos (2025) 80% 4/5 EDIT “A demonstration of both devastation and resilience, and a fascinating watch overall.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 22, 2025 Full Review Outerlands (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “What’s notable about Outerlands is how writer-director Oxman turns San Francisco into a character of its own, and a deeply complex one mirroring the gentrification that has ramped up in recent years in real life.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 22, 2025 Full Review Tendaberry (2024) 93% EDIT “There have been hundreds of films about The City That Never Sleeps, but few are as unique, as freeform, and as completely alive in spirit as Tendaberry.” – In Review Online May 3, 2025 Full Review The Silence of My Hands (2024) 4/5 EDIT “[Manuel] Acuña has done something remarkable with his debut. Using no spoken dialogue from Rosa and Sai, alongside incredible sound design, he has managed to tell a complete and worthwhile story of their relationship.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Third Act (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A documentary that becomes an exceptionally personal project for both subject and director, father and son. It is reverential towards the elder Nakamura but never tips into being overly simplistic.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Caught by the Tides (2024) 99% 3.5/5 EDIT “Caught By The Tides is always an interesting watch, but mainly as an exercise in form and showing an evolving China. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Telling the story of Pharrell Williams entirely in LEGO, Piece by Piece is not a deep documentary but it is full of unbound creativity.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 94% 5/5 EDIT “I fell in love with Grand Theft Hamlet almost immediately. It is a fantastic and wildly inventive documentary that plays into the absolute absurdity of its central mission, leading to unpredictable and extremely entertaining moments. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) 98% 4/5 EDIT “[...] the emotion that Super/Man provokes cannot be denied. It is a potent film that is both overwhelmingly sad and hopeful, presenting Reeve with all his charisma and complexities whilst highlighting Dana’s compassion and enduring love.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Savages (2024) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Savages may be light on emotion and plot, but it is a mesmerising film to look at. And its simplicity is by design, allowing the maturity of its message to shine through.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 13, 2024 Full Review Julie Keeps Quiet (2024) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A reserved but powerful drama that always has an acute focus on Julie and her pressures. That is enforced by an impressive Van den Broeck, who gives a conflicted and deeply sympathetic turn” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 13, 2024 Full Review
