The Birthday Party
Sebastian Zavala @ Loud and Clear Reviews [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The Birthday Party isn’t worth celebrating, but thankfully, it isn’t worth leaving either.
Union County
Sebastian Zavala @ Loud and Clear Reviews [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It works due to the strength of its protagonist, the memorable performances and Meeks’ subdued yet compelling direction. […] Will Poulter has the chops to become a rather interesting dramatic actor.
The Wrong Girls
Shelagh Rowan-Legg @ ScreenAnarchy

Cookie Queens
Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Cookie Queens, which was produced by a company owned by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, helps to give insight into the business of selling Girl Scout cookies for those who’ve only been on the purchasing end of the transaction. The dedication of each girl toward selling their allotted supply proves fun and interesting, even if the filmmaker tries to gild the lily on occasion.
Couture
Diego Salgado @ El Salto [Spanish]
Coyote Vs. Acme
- Excerpt: It’s a Looney Dark Waters, both winningly silly and slyly intelligent about what winning really means, all wrapped into a referential live-action Tune world not unlike our own.
Dug Dug
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
The Last House
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: By the time the end credits rolled, we are left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied.
Mirrors No. 3
Diego Salgado @ El Salto [Spanish]
Nightborn
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It works as a good horror drama with solid performances, a highly metaphorical narrative, and very disturbing moments.
Our Hero, Balthazar
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Oscar Boyson makes his feature debut in what’s being described as a dark comedy, but is more of a pitch black satire with two cannily cast former child stars…both Martell and Butterfield are impressive as they turn their outward personae inside out.
A Poet
Diego Salgado @ El Salto [Spanish]
Saccharine
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A supernatural thriller that tells us a lot about the dangers of rapid weight loss treatments, but by building its protagonist so well, it also works on both an emotional and narrative level.
The Samurai and the Prisoner
Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Maybe The Samurai and the Prisoner could have done with a bit more blood and thunder, but its strong and complex story more than compensates for it.
Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode 2
Sebastian Zavala @ NoEsEnSerie.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The result is an entertaining, occasionally funny episode that, more importantly, seems to understand both the classic and new characters very well.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This movie is a blast on so many levels. Writer/director Jane Schoenbrun, who has been exploring their gender transition in their prior films, has made their most personal film to date while also both analyzing and parodying the slasher genre.
- Excerpt: Despite a couple of stylistic missteps, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a fitting capstone to Schoenbrun’s trilogy of films examining the ways we see ourselves reflected in the media we love.
Torrente for President
Diego Salgado @ El Salto [Spanish]

2035 Global Ban on AI
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: A visually impressive sci-fi parable exploring AI through absence, memory, authoritarian control and a fractured romantic relationship.
