The Perfect Neighbor (2025)
99%
EDIT
“It is impossible... not be shattered by [the film]. However... That the Owens family’s profound grief was turned into a spectacle, presumably for its educational value, is revolting.” –

Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025)
84%
EDIT
“Apart from [its cold comforts], what can Peck’s film tell us that we aren’t confronting on a daily basis?... It’s difficult not to feel like Orwell: 2+2=5 is recommending checkers maneuvers in a deadly game of chess.” –

Below the Clouds (2025)
94%
EDIT
“A documentary that is in its own way like smoke. Rather than adopting the firm architecture of argumentation, Below the Clouds moves out in all directions, like a sort of essayistic vapor.” –

“As colossal a bellyflop as we’ve seen from a luminary director in several years... overstuffed with absolute nonsense.” –

Mama (2025)
EDIT
“The film constructs a world filled with real, imperfect people, sometimes blinded by their own good intentions. And with one ill-conceived revelation, Mama blows it all to hell.” –

Forastera (2025)

EDIT
“Forastera wisely steers clear of classic psychological or supernatural themes of identity swapping... [which] speaks to Iglesias’ surefooted writing and direction.” –

EDIT
“The Sun Rises on Us All sidesteps miserabilism by asking us to sympathize with imperfect people trying to make their way in a society that appears irreparably broken.” –

Lucky Lu (2025)
EDIT
“Lucky Lu is content to depict its protagonist as a human doing rather than a human being. We come away with an understanding that life is hard, but most of us already knew that.” –

Remake (2025)
EDIT
“Given the subject matter of Remake, it’s impossible not to be moved by it. McElwee’s pain saturates every frame, and is made even more poignant by his attempts to keep his agony at bay.” –

The Gloria of Your Imagination (2025)

“In The Gloria of your Imagination, Reeves engages in cinematic creation as a kind of reading process... [and] has made a major new contribution to this project of historical-materialist cinema.” –

The Seasons (2025)
EDIT
“Fazendeiro uses cinema as an instrument for excavating the various layers of history contained within any given landscape. [The Seasons is] a complex work of human geography.” –

When Fall Is Coming (2024)

“When Fall is Coming creates an atmosphere of vague threat in the Burgundy region, where lovely vistas and peaceful nature walks are scored with quiet, insistent strings and single piano notes. ” –

Better Man (2024)
89%
EDIT
“Taken as a standard music biopic, Better Man has standout moments...But none of this can fully compensate for the fact that Better Man strictly follows a rise-and-fall-and-resurrection path that we’ve seen charted by dozens of biopics.” –

Rumours (2024)

“[Rumours] has been filled by paranoia and repulsive glad-handing. This is both a rambling boardroom joke and the worst-ever season of MTV’s Real World: seven technocrats were lost in the woods, and you won’t believe what happened next!” –
