Bedford Park
Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Bedford Park’ tends to be a bit too subtle, and it relies at times on coincidences to move the plot forward. But overall, it’s a delicate, realistic, and impeccably acted drama.
Big Girls Don’t Cry
Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: By being set in a very specific place and time (those of us in our thirties will recognise the interactions via MSN Messenger) and featuring excellent performances, the film ends up feeling intimate, believable, and emotional.
Bight
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: There’s nothing particularly provocative about the film, which will surely disappoint fans of the subgenre, but probably won’t matter to those just looking to pass the time.
Everybody to Kenmure Street
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Everybody to Kenmure Street’ sees spontaneous civil disobedience break out on the streets of Glasgow circa 2021 as the police attempt to forcibly disappear alleged-immigrants. A story that’s tragically even more poignant today.
The Gallerist
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Cathy Yan’s high-concept art world dark comedy ‘The Gallerist’ boasts an impressive cast of Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sterling K. Brown, and more but can’t manage to deliver sharp satire or laughs.
Ha-Chan Shake Your Booty
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A crowd-pleasing and playful story about finding the will to move on through the power of dance, ‘Ha-Chan Shake Your Booty’ shines brightest when it embraces its goofiness and lets the music lead. It’s a delightful, high-spirited burst of joy.
Hold Onto Me
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: hristos Passalis and Maria Petrova deliver subtle devastation in Myrsini Aristidou’s ‘Hold Onto Me’, a graceful and potent portrait of a daughter desperate to re-enter the life of her huckster, absentee father.
How to Divorce During the War
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘How to Divorce During the War‘ is a powerful kitchen table drama that uses the backdrop of the Ukraine-Russia war to explore the quieter war of domestic selfishness, anchored by two strong leads and Andrius Blaževicius’s assured direction.
Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A drama about ideals versus reality; about intentions to help versus what can actually be done. And yes, also a good film about relationships, family, and divorce.
The Huntress
Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The Huntress’ avoids generalisations and melodrama, presenting us with a desolate and dangerous Ciudad Juárez, where the system has forced women to take justice into their own hands.
If I Go Will They Miss Me
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘If I Go Will They Miss Me’, the debut from writer-director Walter Thompson-Hernández’, is an impactful portrait of a frayed relationship between a distant father and his impressionable son in the projects. In its best moments, the work is reminiscent of Barry Jenkins, marking Thompson-Hernández as someone to keep a close eye on.
The Incomer
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A strange little gem powered by plenty of heartfelt laughs and feral charm, ‘The Incomer’ is a hilarious treatise of solitude vs. connection, complete with seal-man mythos, and folkloric bangers, and the glorious madness of being human anywhere on earth.
Josephine
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Dark and potent, Beth de Araújo’s ‘Josephine‘ is a feel-bad movie about the downstream effects of trauma on someone too young to intellectualize what they’ve witnessed. The cast is tremendous across the board, even if the film itself will be too uncomfortable, and too unrelenting, for many to sit through.
The Musical
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Powered by Will Brill’s fearless performance and the audacious pairing of director Giselle Bonilla and writer Alexander Heller, ‘The Musical’ emerges as one of the funniest comedy debuts in years, built around the truly unhinged idea of a broken middle school English teacher staging a 9/11 musical to destroy his principal.
Nadja
- Excerpt: Ever since Count Orlok stalked through the shadows of the 1922 German Expressionist masterpiece Nosferatu, filmmakers and audiences alike have been under the spell of the vampire. Yet among all the variations on the vampire legend that have haunted our screens over the past century, Michael Almereyda’s Nadja stands out as one of the most memorable.
Natchez
- Excerpt: It is about the personal, cultural, and commercial pressures in a small Mississippi town where the economy depends on a sanitized version of the era of wealthy plantation owners who used enslaved people to pick cotton, a version that is increasingly more difficult to maintain as residents and paying visitors want a more honest story.
Night Nurse
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Unreachable and strange, ‘Night Nurse’ very much goes to the beat of its own bizarro drum but this twisted psychosexual midnight movie is too often caught up in its own weirdness to deliver much in the way of connection.
Nuisance Bear
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A thoughtful documentary about the intersection of human interests and animal instincts, ‘Nuisance Bear‘ is a beautifully-mounted tone poem about the consequence of humanity reshaping the land.
A Private Life
Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: A Private Life is not the type of thriller that American audiences might be used to, but its slow, methodical storytelling and subtle humor make it an interesting watch from beginning to end. The film is not up for any awards, but Foster’s performance shows she remains a top-tier actor.
The Rip
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: Enhanced by the star power of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Rock Springs
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Rock Springs’ is an audacious debut of a horror movie from Vera Miao, thematically rich and complete with goopy practical effects even if not every element soars equally high.
See You When I See You
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Cooper Raiff leads a strong ensemble in Jay Duplass’ ‘See You When I See You’, a tragicomedy about a young man stuck in the loop of grief. Duplass threads heavy subject matter with surprising warmth, capturing the mess and absurdity of surviving the unthinkable.
Sentient
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A harrowing but necessary watch, Tony Jones’ Sentient offers a clear-eyed look at the primate testing industry. It’s hard to endure but harder to ignore.
The Story of Documentary Film
- Excerpt: Mark Cousin’s Ambitious New Series Celebrates Documentaries’ Power To Connect & Enthrall
Take Me Home
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Take Me Home’ is a quiet but impactful debut feature from Liz Sargent, centering on her sister Anna Sargent as a cognitively impaired adoptee who must navigate the world and her father’s cognitive decline after their fragile family dynamic suddenly collapses.
Time and Water
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Time and Water‘ moves at the pace of a glacier, and unfortunately feels just as cold. Sara Dosa’s anticipated follow-up to ‘Fire of Love’ is ultimately a major snooze about ice loss that struggles to thaw.
Undertone
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A masterfully assembled nightmare of all-encompassing horror, Ian Tucson’s ‘Undertone‘ is as immersive as it is bone chilling, featuring truly elite sound design.
The Weight
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘The Weight’ is an effective survival Dad movie, buoyed by intoxicating production design and a killer Ethan Hawke man-on-a-mission performance.

Barrio Triste
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: It’s a bleak story with no resolution.
Idiotika
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: Genial comedy and satire.
Jay Kelly
Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: “Jay Kelly” is introspective entertainment with depth as well as humor. Balancing ambition in career with a commitment to family is a classic conflict. Adding humor to the mix is a master stroke.
The Lost Bus
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: The effects team truly earned that Oscar nomination because fire is generally the least believable of all computer manipulations and it looked pretty darn flawless here.
Magellan
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: If you are unfamiliar with the historical details of Magellan’s life preceding his historic voyage, Diaz’s in media res approach…requires patience, as eventually the details pull together and the epic tale achieves a rhythm.
A Poet
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: while we can see Yurlady is more interested in painting her nails than writing poems, Oscar’s desire to help her is sincere and the two actually do forge a bond, one which sees Yurlady as his unlikely savior in ways practical and profound.
