Dreams
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: While the sex between Jennifer and Fernando is steamy, the two practically inhaling each other, Jessica Chastain has never been icier, a woman of privilege yet little substance…
Sebastian Zavala @ LoudAndClearReviews.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Much like the lives of immigrants in the States, Dreams is messy and imperfect and a little depressing, but definitely interesting.

A Primeira Pessoa do Plural
Paulo Portugal @ Cinema7Arte [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: https://www.cinema7arte.com/a-primeira-pessoa-do-plural-ou-a-tropical-malady-de-sandro-aguilar/
Beam Me Up, Sulu
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: These through lines make Beam Me Up, Sulu a relevant addition to the property’s expansive media footprint by contextualizing the big picture aspects of the show’s legacy with the personal impact necessary to help make its dream of a true meritocracy real.
Blades of the Guardians
Sebastian Zavala @ LoudAndClearReviews.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Blades of the Guardians (based on a comic book), is a fierce, violent and entertaining wuxia epic, full of impressive fight choreography, some solid character work and efficient drama.
Days and Nights in the Forest
- Excerpt: Few filmmakers could make a movie that initially appears to be a casual boys’ trip comedy a la The Hangover before smoothly revealing itself as a masterful exploration of race and class, but few filmmakers have ever been as adept at the art form as Satyajit Ray.
I Grew an Inch When My Father Died
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: https://asianmoviepulse.com/2026/02/i-grew-an-inch-when-my-father/
The Killing of Meghnad
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Still, whether the visual beauty alone is enough to sustain interest for 93 minutes is questionable. While the experimentation has artistic value, “The Killing of Meghnad” is likely to appeal mainly to viewers who appreciate demanding, festival-oriented cinema rather than to a wider audience.
Mayilaa
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Despite some minor issues here and there, “Mayilaa” emerges as a very competent debut that manages to communicate its themes eloquently through a story that remains engaging from beginning to end.
Midwinter Break
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
No Good Men
Paulo Portugal @ Cinema7Arte [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: A afegã Shahrbanoo Sadat provoca humor e sexualidade na transição entre uma sociedade patriarcal e o inferno dos talibãs.
Paulo Portugal @ Insider.pt [Portuguese]

The Proud Princess
Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model
Glenn Charlie Dunks @ reDocumented
- Excerpt: Reality Check is trash non-fiction. Streaming content for the permanently preoccupied that really isn’t any different to, say, one of Netflix’s many true crime series. Content that, yes, I admit, is still entertaining in its own way.
Redux Redux
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Despite the science fiction premise and pulpy violence, this is first and foremost a character study. It’s McManus and Marcus providing authentically complex performances that refuse to shy from the survival instincts [they rely upon].
The Seoul Guardians
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: There is not much more to add. “The Seoul Guardians” is exceptional in all aspects and definitely one of the best documentaries (and films) of the year.

Baka’s Identity
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Baka’s Identity” may not be a masterpiece, but it is an intriguing and engaging story presented with confidence and skill, and overall a work that remains entertaining from beginning to end.
Dead of Winter
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It should leave the audience feeling excited, while also credibly developing its protagonist, giving her an emotional, bittersweet character arc.
Love Doesn’t Matter to Me
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Ultimately, one could argue that “Love Doesn’t Matter to Me” embodies the current tendencies of Japanese cinema. Based on a novel, presenting an intriguing story with compelling characters and a sharp accusation toward the previous generation, yet also marked by a lack of tension and an issue with its finale (and the choking cliche), it is a work that fans of contemporary Japanese cinema will likely appreciate, including, to a certain extent, this writer.
Mother Bhumi
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Perhaps slightly less impactful than his previous efforts in terms of contextual layering, “Mother Bhumi” nevertheless remains a competent and engaging work that ultimately stands out due to its visual strength and the performances at its core.

Makbetamaximus
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Once more, Khavn comes up with a deceptively chaotic and ludicrous work that hides pointed sociopolitical commentary beneath satire and absurdity. “Makbetamaximus” is another must for his fans.
