Don’t Tell Larry
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: features about twenty misses for every joke that lands. That may be generous.
Eye for an Eye
Shelagh Rowan-Legg @ ScreenAnarchy
Familiar Touch
- Excerpt: Sarah Friedland’s debut finds so much depth in its subjective approach to memory loss, it loses much of its stigma and discovers wonder in its place.

Deep Cover
Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The premise is full of potential and is generally well-utilised by first-time director Tom Kingsley and his small team of writers, and the talented cast does more than the bare minimum, portraying their characters with style.
Echo Valley
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: [Pearce is] an intriguing filmmaker who’s always bolstered by great casts, but it’s hard not to wonder if there’s a reason Amazon and Apple have been his last two homes.
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A drama that can be interpreted as a story about the dangers of drugs, as a test of how far a mother will go to help her daughter, or simply as a narrative that shows us how hurt, broken, and vulnerable a great loss can leave us.
The Empire
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: It’s tempting to dub this ‘The Empire Strikes Out.’ But although the mock-epic is a bit underwhelming, if considered as another thread in the tapestry of the expanding paranormal North of France Dumontverse, it’s scenic enough to make it worth a visit for the director’s fans.
F1
David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: F1 is one of the most exhilarating and entertaining racing movies I’ve seen in a long time. While it doesn’t break new ground, Kosinski truly knows how to keep the adrenaline flowing through his flawless race sequences and a never-better Brad Pitt.
Oh, Hi!
Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: Oh, Hi! may occasionally falter, but with a heart worn so openly on its comic sleeve, it delivers equal measures of tenderness and ribald laughter in a unique combination all its own.
Tatami
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Nattiv and Erfani’s script handles this rock and hard place conundrum effectively if for no other reason than their conscious effort to keep things rooted in authenticity.
2024 Films
Inside
Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It is a production focused on the psychology of its characters, and therefore, on the internal conflicts that allow them to take action, doubt, regret, react and, finally, find some kind of redemption.
2023 Films
Bound
Sebastian Zavala @ Ventana Indiscreta [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It’s an interesting indie offering; a story centred on a main character plagued by internal issues who also has to deal with having abandoned an aggressive stepfather and a psychologically and physically fragile mother.
