Rosebush Pruning
Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Quando finalmente temos um segundo acto –passada uma hora e com muitas desistências na plateia – já não queremos saber destas pessoas. Já as odiamos.
Sheep in the Box
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Writer/director Hirokazu Koreeda takes on one metaphor too many in a film that recalls everything from the South Korean couple whose baby died while they raised a virtual one at an Internet cafe to Steven Spielberg’s “A.I. Artificial Intelligence”

Amrum
Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
Attack on Paradise
Sebastian Zavala @ Loud and Clear Reviews [Spanish]
- Excerpt: First and foremost, this is a violent action movie, and in that sense, Attack on Paradise works. Unfortunately, it’s also extremely similar to two previous productions, which are more ambitious, more creative and ultimately more satisfying.
Bandar
Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
Cruel Story of Youth
Shelagh Rowan-Legg @ ScreenAnarchy
Dead Souls
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: In a film he has declared will be his last, cowriter (with Gianni Garko)/director Alex Cox delights with his amusingly offbeat neo Western but frustrates with his very unsatisfying ending.
The Hawk
Sebastian Zavala @ Loud and Clear Reviews [Spanish]
- Excerpt: This is a story that would have been better served as a ninety-minute film, with all the filler left out, all the unfunny jokes removed, and all the superfluous plotlines deleted.
Heartstopper Forever
- Excerpt: Reiterates the joy of love and identity – in all its various forms….a poignant and faithful finale to the Netflix series that will warm the hearts of fans of Oseman’s works.
I Will Return
Mars Shrile Walks the Night
Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Esconde a sua verdadeira natureza. Mas quem ficar agarrado pelo estilo nos primeiros vinte minutos, vai adorar o que se segue.
Portuguese Love
Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: É um filme ligeiro, que se vê com gosto e que pode ajudar pessoas numa fase complicada da vida ou de uma relação a se esforçarem mais um pouco.
The Rebrand
Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Aquela gente louca que faz lives não é assim tão pior que os psicopatas que por aí andam.
Remake
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: McElwee has crafted an intricate exploration of memory, much of his own collected on film and digital, in a work brimming with questions, his grief and love for his son so palpable we feel his reluctance to let go
Satluj
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Tusshar Sasi @ Filmy Sasi
Steal Away
Sarah Gopaul @ Imagery at the Movies
- Excerpt: It eventually becomes clear these horrors persist through complicity and complacency, and the only solution is escape.

April
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: With just her second feature, writer/director Dea Kulumbegashvili (“Beginning”) has created the most haunting film on women’s healthcare, and more generally, rights in a patriarchal society, since “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.”
