Fatherland (2026) 96% 9/10 EDIT “We once again encounter the style that Pawlikowski had defined in his two previous films...but his capacity for narrative synthesis, so rare in contemporary cinema, is once again astonishing...[Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 15, 2026 Full Review Pan's Labyrinth (2006) 95% EDIT “Such is the case that Pan's Labyrinth has already achieved the status of a contemporary classic, and there's no better way to evaluate it than with the perspective of these twenty years. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 14, 2026 Full Review A Woman's Life (2026) 94% 7/10 EDIT “...Bourgeois-Tacquet [leads] us along an unimaginable path, that of a woman whose entire life is questioned by unexpected love. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 14, 2026 Full Review The Electric Kiss (2026) 59% 7/10 EDIT “The Electric Kiss is, at its core, a film about innocence, the kind that allows us to believe everything that happens at a carnival stand, but also about chance. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 13, 2026 Full Review Sleepless City (2025) 86% EDIT “Galoe makes no secret of the fact that this is a place where drug trafficking takes place, but his film constantly avoids the sordid, focusing as it does on its young protagonists, for whom he wants to imagine a future. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jun 4, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 10/10 EDIT “[Rob Mazurek's] music sets the tone for the entire film, from the driving drum and bass rhythms of the opening sequence to the more atmospheric and somber tones of the ending. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 91% 6/10 EDIT “Because this is a film that stockpiles references...within a claustrophobic and nocturnal universe, such that what aims to be a celebration of cinema ends up becoming a funereal elegy. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 95% 6/10 EDIT “Sentimental Value stumbles upon its own contradiction and doubts: without Fanning, Trier could resolve this dramatic conflict in just two sequences; with her, he needs to make her the star and the film suffers. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 66% 4/10 EDIT “If there's one thing that makes Eleanor the Great stand out, it is its cinematography (courtesy of Hélène Louvart) and perhaps its script (by Tory Kamen), as conventional as it is skillful in its central theme. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 25, 2025 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 87% EDIT “A Useful Ghost is a comedy, based on the fantasy genre but fueled above all by absurd humor. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 23, 2025 Full Review Kika (2025) EDIT “Much more than a film of redemption, Poukine has given us a film about survival. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 22, 2025 Full Review A Poet (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “...an exhilarating satire on poetry and hunger that moves between (dirty) realism and the absurd. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 21, 2025 Full Review Alpha (2025) 58% 4/10 EDIT “The worst thing that can be said about Alpha is that it's [Julia Ducournau's] most conventional film. So much so that at times it's a bit of a pastiche. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 20, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% EDIT “Left-Handed Girl is a film about urban turmoil and speed, and you can't ask for apples from an elm tree. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 20, 2025 Full Review Adam's Sake (2025) EDIT “Adam's Sake is like whichever hospital series episode, and is in no way better. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine May 20, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 9/10 EDIT “...this spoken-word style of film explodes in the final third in a vigorous exercise of pure genre, inspired, like the end credits, by the cinema of the seventies, of course. The best cinema of the seventies, one might say. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 19, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 9/10 EDIT “Its narrative is nothing more than a succession of quotes and famous lines we've heard or read a thousand times, but which here become a pure celebration, the best tribute that could be paid to Godard. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 18, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 69% 4/10 EDIT “Aster seems to be inspired by the latest political satires of Adam McKay, but here not only are ideas accumulated, but everything wants to be too grand and extravagant...[Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 17, 2025 Full Review The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 96% 7/10 EDIT “Rather than a politically charged film, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo is a coming-of-age film that offers a very tender look at a world in the midst of change. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 16, 2025 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Sound of Falling is much better and infinitely more suggestive when it spells out its mysteries than when it insists on clarifying them. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine May 15, 2025 Full Review Henry Fonda for President (2024) 86% EDIT “Alexander Horwath knows how to make the most of everything, even the most unexpected anecdotes or relationships. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Direct action (2024) EDIT “Everything in this film by Guillaume Cailleau and Ben Russell is based on the simplest elements, and therefore also the most radical and the most political. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Filmstunde_23 (2024) EDIT “It is the story of a reunion, but much more than that. It is also the vindication of a utopia... [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Good One (2024) 98% EDIT “Good One is more an attempt at fraternization between Sam and her father. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jul 26, 2024 Full Review East of Noon (2024) 100% EDIT “Cinema that renounces the latest technology and uses recycling to return to the spirit of the revolutionaries. [Full review in Spanish]” – Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jul 26, 2024 Full Review
