The Plague (2025) 97% EDIT “The symptoms of its titular malaise eventually cast an ambivalent shadow over the film, rendering its creeping metaphors somewhat ineffectual. But with or without bodily outrage, The Plague’s mental scarring is raw and palpable.” – In Review Online Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% EDIT “Rosemead stares rage and calamity in the face without quite backing down, turning an easy opportunity for sensationalism into a meditation on the very human cost of agony.” – In Review Online Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% EDIT “A tendency to proselytize is at play, weaving the forbidding strands of gnosticism into a tapestry of heightened realism that just falls short of magical. Jesus Christ Superstar, this is not.” – In Review Online Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “Rental Family keenly spotlights the mirth and frisson of human connection. For all the palatable cutesiness the film puts on frank display, it also earns it.” – In Review Online Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “Eternity is strangely lacking in profundity... It’s also wantonly manipulative... [and] banks on a suspension both of disbelief and of depth.” – In Review Online Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% EDIT “A precious and intensely personal reckoning... awaits the viewer, for whom Little Amélie will likely recall the impressionistic wonder of early Miyazaki.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% EDIT “It strikes a riveting and unsettling chord, sustaining this apprehension through its historical overview” – In Review Online Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Inside Amir (2025) EDIT “Inside Amir sweetly documents the comforts of home, vindicating the bustling, all-too-human cityscapes of Tehran against their frequently politicized caricatures as stultifying and oppressive backwaters.” – In Review Online Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Anna Kiri (2025) EDIT “There’s a grudgingly admirable punkish sensibility to Anna Kiri... [but it's] subsumed by its bourgeois representation, with aphorisms a dime a dozen thrown into a superficial homage of French New Wave aesthetics.” – In Review Online Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 85% EDIT “As a cultural document, Erupcja is invaluably noteworthy; as a conventional narrative on the pleasures of emotion, it offers bountiful ones of its own.” – In Review Online Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Fox King (2025) EDIT “Scattershot and cloyingly melodramatic. Like the durian species... after which it is named, The Fox King bears a strong scent, but little bite.” – In Review Online Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Amoeba (2025) 100% EDIT “[A] perceptive feature debut about the quest for girlhood in Singapore... [that] articulates the thorny phenomenon, so central to Amoeba, of a generation of youth grappling with who they are.” – In Review Online Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Human Resource (2025) EDIT “While its depressive atmosphere no doubt remains integral to Human Resource, one can’t help but feel boxed in stylistically by a work eager to play it safe and complete the checklist of themes and tones” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review A Little Prayer (2023) 93% EDIT “Pastoral grace... practically permeates the contained world of MacLachlan’s restrained but revelatory third feature.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Stranger Eyes (2024) 82% EDIT “[Stranger Eyes'] contrivances run aplenty in a headless ouroboros of a narrative which flounders... a document of tired, clichéd sensibilities.” – In Review Online Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 75% EDIT “There’s no little schmaltz in Kirk’s cross-cutting between the warmly lit past and the bleak present, but like many of its ilk... The Dead of Winter banks foremost on sheer, seasoned grit.” – In Review Online Aug 16, 2025 Full Review Souleymane's Story (2024) 100% EDIT “Walks a thin line between teasing out the fraught psychological experience of its protagonist and universalizing this experience as grand commentary... and, for the most part, it delivers outstandingly.” – In Review Online Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Wailing (2024) 75% EDIT “While The Wailing does venture to be sufficiently, even exceedingly, eerie at times, its central gimmick lacks clear definition.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Apocalypse in the Tropics (2024) 91% EDIT “Though the matter is urgent and the subject eminently worthy of study, the film resembles, ironically, a sermon of its own, preaching to the converted outsiders a watered-down version of its gospel.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Realm of Satan (2024) 56% EDIT “A largely wordless ethnographic portrait of modern-day Satanists whose metaphysical ambit is as shy as its hagiography is shameless.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% EDIT “That [Dangerous Animals] should exploit [fetishistic] obsessions and make us gleefully willing subjects of them reveals not shoddy writing, but a deft and knowing hand. The bait is out, and it is fresh.” – In Review Online Jul 24, 2025 Full Review To Kill A Mongolian Horse (2024) EDIT “Jiang’s portrait of a horseman as performer evocatively fleshes out the struggle for identity, against the modernizing hand of capitalist relations no less, but foremost in the performance and preservation of a premodern masculinity” – In Review Online Jul 22, 2025 Full Review The Wolf, the Fox & the Leopard (2025) EDIT “Regrettably, slumps into the simplistic realm of parable, and though much of the film’s daring premise proves commendable, it does not quite wrestle with the ideas it generates.” – In Review Online Jun 18, 2025 Full Review After This Death (2025) 50% EDIT “Castro is experimenting here, and the results are curious enough to justify his experimentation, even if they’re not entirely good enough to give After This Death the stamp of approval.” – In Review Online Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Most People Die on Sundays (2024) 81% EDIT “Said’s film occupies uneven terrain, caught somewhere between its anti-comedic impulses and its gently sympathetic levity... a stronger punchline might’ve made it stick longer.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2025 Full Review
