A. Rimbaud
Kenji Fujishima @ Book & Film Globe
Camp
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: The obvious visual and aesthetic touchstone throughout Camp is David Lynch with its surreal out-of-time-and-place nature. Did I have any clue what was going on? Not really. But it’s too transfixing to care.
Couture
- Excerpt: French writer/director Alice Winocour has a rare gift for exploring the lives of women with delicacy and sensitivity, in both the visuals and the narrative. The three main characters in “Couture” are from three different countries, at very different stages, confronting very different challenges, but their stories intersect, echo, and overlap.
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Couture is very much an actors’ film as a result. It probably won’t work for everyone as a whole, but the pieces are worth a look just the same.
The Get Out
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A lighthearted, entertaining, and at times eccentric thriller that unfortunately tries to include too many plot lines, detracting from the power of its protagonist’s story and his problems.
The Invite
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: may just boast the ensemble of the year, these performances are so pitch perfect. Wilde stages everything expertly, reconfiguring her small cast in various ways about the apartment, her tale continually zigging when we expect it to zag.
Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend
- Excerpt: “Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend” does little to challenge the established formula surrounding its famous protagonist. The political messaging is heavy handed, the foreigners are almost comically villainous and the story mainly functions as a framework for successive battles. However, the action is consistently entertaining, the visual presentation is polished and Dennis To remains a credible presence in the role. And as long as people go for them, the movie of the franchise will keep coming out.
Mockbuster
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Frith is presented as a film lover who found an opportunity and made the most of it, and who also managed to develop a good documentary about his experience.
The Penthouse
- Excerpt: Although “The Penthouse” is on a lower level than Burnashev’s previous Sakha productions, the result is definitely hopeful, particularly considering that this represents a new beginning for both him and Mikhailova. His prowess as a director remains evident, although he needs more time to adapt his style fully to a Southeast Asian aesthetic.
Romería
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: The film itself looks great thanks to Hélène Louvart’s cinematography and the aesthetic choice to merge past and present with words and visuals via the diary, Marina’s Aughts-era digital videos, and that dream sequence.
2025 Films
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025 OFCS Award Nominee)
Goat Girl
Sebastian Zavala @ Ventana Indiscreta [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It works because it feels like the childhood memories of an adult woman, and because it filters its themes through a childlike and naive gaze, but never absurd or exaggerated.
Peter Hujar’s Day
Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
2024 Films
Beline
- Excerpt: ncomfortable, occasionally disturbing and deliberately awkward in its treatment of sex, the movie offers a thoughtful exploration of loneliness, voyeurism, patriarchy and self destruction. Most importantly, it shows that a compelling psychological thriller can emerge from a handful of characters, a confined setting and the unsettling act of listening to something that was never meant for you.
