★★★☆☆
Ali Abbas Zafar’s wrestling comeback drama asks Salman Khan to age, lose, and still fill the frame — Anushka Sharma supplies the film’s actual spine.
A solid Salman sports masala — watch for Anushka and the comeback, not for realism.
★★★★☆
Kim Yun-seok’s dirty ex-cop chases Ha Jung-woo’s killer through Seoul in something close to real time — the Korean crime film that still feels like a panic attack.
Essential Korean thriller — brutal, precise, and not for the faint-hearted.
★★★★☆
Ritesh Batra, Irrfan Khan, and Nimrat Kaur — a mistaken dabba becomes one of Indian independent cinema’s great epistolary romances, and a Cannes Un Certain Regard breakout.
Essential — the Hindi film to show someone who thinks Bollywood is only stadiums.
★★★★☆
Haluk Bilginer as a retired actor who owns the rooms and the arguments — a 196-minute moral weather system, and still the peak of contemporary Turkish cinema on Celluloid.
Essential for anyone who wants Turkish cinema beyond the popular comedies — demanding, and worth it.
★★½☆☆
Aanand L. Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, and Katrina Kaif in a height-high-concept romance — ambitious, shapeless, and one of SRK’s rare commercial-critical misses.
Skip unless you are studying late-2010s SRK — the composite is Not Recommended.
★★★★☆
Agak Laen mengubah wahana rumah hantu pasar malam jadi mesin komedi paling efektif dalam satu dekade — 9,1 juta penonton, dan lawakannya tumbuh dari karakter, bukan dari gimik.
Wajib tonton — komedi Indonesia terbaik dalam beberapa tahun terakhir.
★★★★☆
Sekuel Agak Laen memindahkan empat sekawan itu ke panti jompo dan jadi film Indonesia terlaris sepanjang masa dengan 11 juta penonton — rekor yang belum tersentuh.
Wajib tonton — film Indonesia terlaris sepanjang masa, dan sekuel yang tidak malas.
★★★★☆
Dilan 1990 mengubah novel Pidi Baiq jadi fenomena budaya remaja — 6,3 juta penonton, dan gombalan yang sampai sekarang masih dikutip orang.
Layak ditonton — romansa remaja yang tahu persis apa yang sedang dikerjakannya.
★★★★½
Jumbo membuktikan animasi Indonesia bisa berdiri sejajar dengan produksi internasional — 10,2 juta penonton, capaian tertinggi yang pernah diraih film animasi lokal.
Wajib tonton — lompatan besar untuk animasi Indonesia, dan filmnya sendiri hangat.
★★★★☆
Adaptasi Indonesia atas Pee Mak asal Thailand yang tidak sekadar menyalin — 4,9 juta penonton, dan lawakannya menemukan nada lokal sendiri.
Layak ditonton — remake yang berani menjadi film Indonesia, bukan tiruan.
★★★★☆
Awi Suryadi kembali mengangkat utas viral Simpleman ke layar, kali ini di pabrik gula tua Jawa — 4,7 juta penonton, dan versi uncut-nya jadi perbincangan tersendiri.
Layak ditonton — horor pabrik yang mengandalkan tempat, bukan kejutan suara.
★★★★☆
Joko Anwar memindahkan teror keluarga Rini ke rumah susun yang terkunci saat badai — skalanya lebih besar dari film pertama, dan rasa terjebaknya jauh lebih terasa.
Wajib tonton bagi penggemar horor — sekuel yang memperbesar taruhan tanpa kehilangan ketegangan.
★★★★☆
Kimo Stamboel mengangkat utas viral Simpleman jadi horor santet bertempo lambat — 4,9 juta penonton, dan atmosfernya bertahan jauh setelah filmnya selesai.
Layak ditonton — horor santet Jawa yang membangun teror lewat kesabaran.
★★★★½
Film laga Timo Tjahjanto untuk Netflix ini membawa koreografi kekerasan Indonesia ke penonton global — dan jadi film Indonesia dengan jejak internasional terbesar dalam beberapa tahun terakhir.
Wajib tonton bagi penggemar laga — brutal, panjang, dan dikerjakan dengan sangat serius.
★★★½☆
Diangkat dari kasus nyata di Cirebon, Vina: Sebelum 7 Hari menarik 5,8 juta penonton dan memicu perdebatan nasional yang jauh melampaui filmnya sendiri.
