The Captive may not do enough to earn classic status, but Amenábar does deliver a highly entertaining, contained adventure with solid pacing, compelling characters, and an engaging plot. Some may have a problem with its liberal recounting of history, but if met on its own terms, it is sure to captivate.

Buffet Infinity is a truly incredible film that has no right to work as well as it does, and I can quickly see this becoming a cult classic among stoners and midnight madness crowds with a hunger for something truly out of this world.

The Christophers does not have a sexy Hollywood sales angle – it’s an art forgery film, after all – but it’s further proof that we’re yet to get a clear sign there’s anything that Steven Soderbergh can’t pull off.

Representing a big step up not only in terms of its theatrical release, but also in Barker’s command of filmmaking as a visual medium, Obsession boldly stakes its claim as a true modern genre masterpiece.

What’s immediately striking about Exit 8 is how unassuming it is, given the simple plot outline […]

The Stranger exists at the razor’s edge of complacency. Ostensibly revisionist and stylistic, but also perfectly content to operate within the already existing canon of the novel, not ever straying too far or getting too experimental in its approach. 

Alphabet Lane is a hypnotic ode to isolation and the lengths that everyday Australians will go to just to feel normal again. 

Viewer beware: you’re in for a scare generic A24 horror flick.

Nteregu (a story to be sung) is not your typical documentary […]

Stephan Komandarev’s Made in EU (2025) shows the stark reality of a not-too-distant past.

If you’re into folk culture, fake dating, stunning costume designs and Hungarian dance battles, then Hungarian Wedding is most definitely the film for you. 

It’s a classic French studio comedy: glossy and taking full advantage of its setting, toothless while simultaneously somehow well-observed, and would certainly go down easy on a night out with a glass of wine.

Sirât delivers one of the most distinctive cinematic experiences I’ve had in quite some time.

Is This Thing On? ultimately finds its strength in the emotional nuance of its central relationship, anchored by convincing performances from Arnett and Dern.
