What if Quentin Tarantino had directed Rambo? This Nordic production is the most concrete answer. Dark, visceral humour with a fairly credible script. Perfect for a low-key weekend viewing
You could count on your fingers the sequels that match or surpass the original. This one achieves its purpose, with likeable characters and a well-justified story with its social message in just the right place. One of the best family options for the end of the year. Those with eagle eyes and an elephant's memory will spot the film references.
Despite its slow pace and tranquil music, the story of a railway worker has something that captivates us and makes us empathise with the main character. Of course, the final act leaves you feeling as if you have lost a friend.
With a certain nostalgic flavour, the days when radio was the queen of entertainment, and how it influenced different people, for better or for worse. With Woody Allen's distinctive stamp. Long life of Dianne Wiest
It may not have the same energy and magnetism as the previous chapter. The truth is that it was able to captivate viewers and connect with The Wizard of Oz, without trying to be equal to or superior to the classic.
This comedy-drama about old age may not be one of Michael Caine's best performances. In its favour is that it knows how to connect with the audience and win their sympathy. It's worth seeing on stage without being too demanding.
Of all Spielberg's films, this true-life drama is one of his most daring ventures; its greatest strength was that it did not take sides or show sympathy for anyone, and the nearly three hours did not feel exhausting.
Tomando como referencia un caso real, lo más inteligente fue darle seguimiento sin simpatizar en algún sentido con un tema delicado como el aborto. Del cine sudamericano, lo más destacado del año.
Just knowing who acts and who produces, one is captivated by curiosity. The neurosis and debacle of a young married couple and new parents is such an energetic drama that it causes confusion in the last act; one is left with the blessed doubt of whether to love it or hate it. We must give it the benefit of the doubt.
How many bad things can happen at a high society party, where alcohol consumption, jealousy and envy begin to take their toll? It is likely that most people will not find the charm of a film whose story unfolds in a single setting. Its greatest strengths are the performances and the bitter humour.
The most surprising thing is that it is inspired by a true story. Above all, as a viewer, one feels sympathy for the main character, a role that fits Channing Tatum like a glove. It's never too late to see it.
This thriller set against the clock may not be the first of its kind, or even the closest thing to it. However, it is acceptable escapism for a cold Saturday afternoon.
Of all the adaptations of the literary classic, this may well be the definitive one. It ingeniously blends the poetic and dramatic with horror. Jacob Elordi is inconceivable and unrecognisable as the monster, and the 155-minute running time never wears the viewer down.
The plot, which involves elements of Chinese mythology, could have been better if it weren't for the animated aesthetic that looks more like a video game; instead of bringing the viewer closer, it pushes them away.
If this comedy is a rare bird, it is because we see Keanu Reeves in a comical role, playing an angel, so similar to the one in It's a Wonderful Life and Wings of Desire. That is the main attraction, along with the clever humour without vulgarity.
From George A. Romero's typical filmography, the story of a paraplegic and his connection with an assistance monkey was one of his least successful works. The plot develops slowly and there are few to no scares.
Una cortante drama real que expone la incómoda realidad del impacto físico y emocional en la guerra en los niños, y el reclutamiento forzado de los mismos. A ver sin más excusa.
Director Bigelow's greatest success in making this thriller was to present a hypothetical scenario in real life. As the plot unfolds, the suspense builds, reaching a final act that will leave even the most cynical viewer spellbound. The ending calls for Iron Maiden's 2 Minutes to Midnight.
From the perspective of actors and directors who knew him from head to toe, an intimate and human portrait of the Canadian comedian. Like many documentaries, it may not be appealing to everyone, but this one has its own charm.
Without resorting to cheap sentimentality, it's a drinkable drama-comedy that demonstrates that older people can be great allies in any situation. The most notable person is Lily Tomlin.
La historia de un tenso escenario de rehenes, por parte de un policía difamado, tiene sus buenos momentos en el que mantiene en vilo al espectador. No está entre las mejores actuaciones de Samuel L. Jackson pero se desempeña bien.
What is interesting here is how they narrate the routine of a boarding school in documentary form, focusing on the dilemmas and demons faced by one of its teachers. The highlight is Cillian Murphy's performance.
From director De Palma's best period, in which he exemplified his affinity with Hitchcock; suspense is provided by effective doses of paranoia and a climax that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's also worth watching for John Travolta, before he fell into the clutches of Dianetics.
The well-known Wim Wenders returns to his glory days. The daily story of a public toilet cleaner may not appeal to viewers thirsty for action. However, it has its magic and is an example of how sometimes less is more. A must-see.
Seeing Jane Fonda and Robert Redford together again is precisely what drives this drama about an autumn friendship-romance. It doesn't live up to their best work, but seeing them together is a well-justified escape. May God keep Robert Redford in his glory.
One of Oliver Stone's greatest achievements. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, with all the web of inconsistencies and lies surrounding the state crime. That is precisely why this film was one of director Stone's most daring projects. As a postscript, it is worth watching Kevin Costner in one of his most mature roles.
For those unfamiliar with Alfred Hitchcock, the story of a businessman caught up in a dangerous case of mistaken identity is one that every true film buff should see before they die. Those with a keen eye will spot a cameo appearance by Hitchcock himself.
Just seeing the names of the director and cast on the poster is an invitation on a silver platter. The story of an urban guerrilla fighter and his efforts to find his lost daughter combines action and humour well, and maintains its momentum throughout the 160 minutes of footage. One of the best offerings of autumn 2025.
A deadly curse is at the heart of this story, which features outstanding conceptual art. Handcrafted and digital animation work harmoniously together, providing strong support for the script. It's a shame that something so good lasts only 74 minutes.
The heartwarming story **** and her enormous pet, and her efforts to protect it, is a clever plea for animal rights, as well as a critique of voracious corporations. Yes, from the same director of Parasite and Mickey 17.
Inspired by a memoir, this film may not be one of the best of the 1990s. However, it is DiCaprio and De Niro who give this true drama enough substance. Perfect for a cosy weekend viewing
The famous tale of Cinderella told with all its bitterness, without the sugar coating that characterised the Disney version. Like The Substance, it is a subtle critique of the exaggerated preference for external beauty and the obsession with it. One of the best horror films of the year. Preferably, watch it on an empty stomach.
The biopic fulfils its aim of recounting the key years of Bob Marley's life, which will please those who enjoy his songs. However, it feels like a half-hearted effort, as there is not enough connection to the characters.
While it does not aim to be a history lesson or a feminist pamphlet, it entertains well, with a clever script and believable battle sequences. What more could you ask for?
For fans of the titular anime, the 155 minutes will seem exhausting, but not excessive. The battle and filler sequences are well justified, and the ending generates curiosity about what the final act has in store.
Counting on my fingers, this is one of the times that Stephen King's writing has landed well. The mixture of horror and macabre humour does work, although you don't know whether to be scared or to laugh.
Seeing who is at the forefront of the cast is, in itself, an invitation wrapped in velvet paper. It is true that this crime thriller is like a dish that is cooked slowly, without the need for pyrotechnic action. And in the end, the nearly three-hour running time is well justified.
If they say, ‘What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,’ there must be a reason. As a comedy, it won't become a classic, but it works well throughout its 100 minutes of footage, enough for a Saturday afternoon. Whether or not to watch the sequels is up to each individual.
This literary classic, narrated in a more formal tone, simmers slowly. This is by no means a flaw, and interest never wanes throughout the nearly three hours of footage.
The cast alone is an irresistible invitation. I am not familiar with the original book, but the idea of watching elderly people solving unsolved police cases is appealing and leaves the viewer with a good impression.
What makes this survival story appealing is that it takes place not in nature, but in an urban setting. Somehow, the viewer feels enveloped in that closed environment. It may not be a gem of the genre, but it is a good 105 minutes of escapism.
Why did they bother making this sequel? That is, and is not, a mystery. Deep down, it won't be as annoying as Sandler's previous comedies. At most, his die-hard fans will feel comfortable. Only watch it if you're short on options.
Russell Crowe in one of his most notable roles: mathematician John Nash, who fought a constant battle against madness that endangered his reputation, his family, and his career. Time will tell whether or not the film deserved recognition. For now, it is best to approach it without prejudice.
Loss and acceptance of death work well as themes in this horror film, which fulfils its purpose quite well, without cheap scares and avoiding any predictable twists.
In 2025, this film will be one of those that leave a deep impression. Narrated from the end and in reverse, it demonstrates the effect that one individual's life has on others in an almost magical way. The sequence with Tom Hiddleston dancing is invaluable.
Although the plot gives the impression that it has been seen elsewhere, it has just the right amount of suspense to work in the 94 minutes of footage. To assume that it is social criticism would be an exaggeration.
With first-hand accounts, an accurate dissection of a tragedy is made; a tragedy in which the main ingredients were arrogance and negligence. 109 minutes that are well worth the risk.
