Eephus
- Excerpt: This thoroughly charming film is a paean to community, male friendship and a way of life slowly being lost, a comedy steeped in nostalgia which sends its players off into the darkness like the ghosts of “Field of Dreams.”
The Rule of Jenny Pen
- Excerpt: Ashcroft gets brilliant performances from his leads in a stunningly crafted film, but …seemingly conclusive scenes are suddenly upended minutes later, making for an unrealistic and confusing narrative.

Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews.
- Excerpt: Pulverizing immigration relationship film.
Every Little Thing
- Excerpt: magical
Know Mercy
Last Breath
Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: While it’s rare to want a movie to be longer, it seems as if this story could’ve benefited from a little more development around the key personalities and the job, so there is a stronger connection with the audience. Instead, it relies on the ticking clock to keep viewers engaged, which is rousing, but not as satisfying.
The Last Journey
Nadine Whitney @ Alliance of Women Film Journalists
- Excerpt: The Last Journey sets out to be a crowd-pleaser and it is because Lars is a treat.
Mrs.
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
No Other Land
- Excerpt: Resilience. Peace. Disobedience. Non-compliance. Humanity. Shared humanity. Neither Basel nor Yuval have answers, but they have hope – and it is that hope which makes No Other Land a galvanising and imperative piece of documentary filmmaking.
Play It as It Lays
- Excerpt: Play It as It Lays is the rare adaptation of a literary masterpiece that lives up to the source material, and a fitting cinematic tribute to the power of Didion’s pen.
River of Grass
- Excerpt: Wortzel builds her case primarily through the stories of individuals who share their personal relationships with the region, paired with sometimes stunning cinematography by J. Bennett…

Attack on Titan: The Last Attack
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It’s a movie made for fans, allowing them to reunite with their favourite characters for what is supposed to be the last time, developing a satisfying ending to the series that leaves open the possibility of new stories.
The Empire
Sebastian Zavala @ Loud and Clear Reviews [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Isn’t quite as hilarious as it thinks it is. […] Most of the time, The Empire seems unsure of what it wants to do or what kind of tone it wants to convey, which results in a confounding experience.
Force of Nature: The Dry 2
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It’s a slightly inferior film to its predecessor, but it’s still a lot of fun to watch, and it works very well on both an intellectual and emotional level. I wouldn’t mind seeing more films starring Eric Bana’s Aaron Falk.
The Six Triple Eight
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Despite its shortcomings, The Six Triple Eight is a crucial piece of history told in an affecting way. Just because it all should be better doesn’t mean it’s not still enough.
Something in the Water
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: If you want to have fun for just under an hour and a half (there was no reason for it to last longer than that), there are worse options on streaming platforms.
