Sleepless City (2025) 86% EDIT “Galoe makes no secret of the fact that this is a place where drug trafficking takes place, but his film constantly avoids the sordid, focusing as it does on its young protagonists, for whom he wants to imagine a future. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jun 4, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 10/10 EDIT “[Rob Mazurek's] music sets the tone for the entire film, from the driving drum and bass rhythms of the opening sequence to the more atmospheric and somber tones of the ending. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 89% 6/10 EDIT “Because this is a film that stockpiles references...within a claustrophobic and nocturnal universe, such that what aims to be a celebration of cinema ends up becoming a funereal elegy. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 6/10 EDIT “Sentimental Value stumbles upon its own contradiction and doubts: without Fanning, Trier could resolve this dramatic conflict in just two sequences; with her, he needs to make her the star and the film suffers. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% 4/10 EDIT “If there's one thing that makes Eleanor the Great stand out, it is its cinematography (courtesy of Hélène Louvart) and perhaps its script (by Tory Kamen), as conventional as it is skillful in its central theme. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% EDIT “A Useful Ghost is a comedy, based on the fantasy genre but fueled above all by absurd humor. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 23, 2025 Full Review Kika (2025) EDIT “Much more than a film of redemption, Poukine has given us a film about survival. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 22, 2025 Full Review A Poet (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “...an exhilarating satire on poetry and hunger that moves between (dirty) realism and the absurd. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 21, 2025 Full Review Alpha (2025) 56% 4/10 EDIT “The worst thing that can be said about Alpha is that it's [Julia Ducournau's] most conventional film. So much so that at times it's a bit of a pastiche. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 20, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% EDIT “Left-Handed Girl is a film about urban turmoil and speed, and you can't ask for apples from an elm tree. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 20, 2025 Full Review Adam's Sake (2025) EDIT “Adam's Sake is like whichever hospital series episode, and is in no way better. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 20, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 9/10 EDIT “Kleber Mendonça Filho weaves [the subplots] slowly, relying on long and detailed dialogues. This is a film that simmers slowly. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 19, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 9/10 EDIT “Its narrative is nothing more than a succession of quotes and famous lines we've heard or read a thousand times, but which here become a pure celebration, the best tribute that could be paid to Godard. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 18, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% 4/10 EDIT “Aster seems to be inspired by the latest political satires of Adam McKay, but here not only are ideas accumulated, but everything wants to be too grand and extravagant...[Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 17, 2025 Full Review The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 95% 7/10 EDIT “Rather than a politically charged film, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo is a coming-of-age film that offers a very tender look at a world in the midst of change. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 16, 2025 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 7/10 EDIT “Sound of Falling is much better and infinitely more suggestive when it spells out its mysteries than when it insists on clarifying them. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 15, 2025 Full Review Henry Fonda for President (2024) 83% EDIT “Alexander Horwath knows how to make the most of everything, even the most unexpected anecdotes or relationships. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Direct action (2024) EDIT “Everything in this film by Guillaume Cailleau and Ben Russell is based on the simplest elements, and therefore also the most radical and the most political. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Filmstunde_23 (2024) EDIT “It is the story of a reunion, but much more than that. It is also the vindication of a utopia... [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Good One (2024) 98% EDIT “Good One is more an attempt at fraternization between Sam and her father. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jul 26, 2024 Full Review East of Noon (2024) 100% EDIT “Cinema that renounces the latest technology and uses recycling to return to the spirit of the revolutionaries. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Sister Midnight (2024) 98% EDIT “Rather than developing a plot, its script is an accumulation of situations, some funnier than others, but with very little fluidity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Meeting with Pol Pot (2024) 89% EDIT “A full-fledged fiction, which is not exceptional in the case of Panh. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Une famille (2023) EDIT “Christine's story is, in fact, everyone's story: incest concerns us all and Une Famille is the confirmation of it. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Favoriten (2024) 100% EDIT “The film stands out due to the dedication, affection and communication skills with which the teacher, an essential piece in the school (and in the film) works with the children in an unconventional way. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Mar 7, 2024 Full Review
