EDIT
“As a cultural document, the movie is revealing, and more politically correct and psychologically responsible. But it’s not very compelling either.” –

Highest 2 Lowest (2025)

EDIT
“Spike Lee’s remake of Kurosawa’s High and Low has that distinct feel of a "late" film, the kind a great director makes on autopilot: pleasant enough, competent enough, but strangely limp.” –

Bugonia (2025)

“Yorgos’s remake is markedly different in tone, more tongue-in-cheek and teeth-grindingly cynical, like Kinds of Kindness before it.” –

The Smashing Machine (2025)

EDIT
“Benny’s solo act is less a sports biopic than a melancholic jazz riff on one, smudging the genre’s usual sweaty triumphalism into something looser, more subdued, and unexpectedly delicate ” –

“A film of directorial talent still in search of its own frequency. Harris Dickinson hasn’t calibrated his balance of storytelling and political instinct with his cinematic sensibilities. ” –

To a Land Unknown (2024)

EDIT
“For all its slick taut style, the film remains deeply humane and empathetic. Coming from a documentary background, Fleifel brings a neorealist rigor to the story, weaving in vivid textures and the occasional bit of humor.” –
