Essential for anyone who cares how movies get made.
★★★★☆
The Minions crash a monster-movie lot in the year's most affectionate animated comedy — funny, fast, and surprisingly sincere about classic Hollywood craft.
The best Minions movie since the original — ideal family viewing with genuine cinephile Easter eggs.
★★★½☆
Michael Lukk Litwak's lo-fi cosmic rom-com proves charm beats budget, though its 175-minute sprawl tests even patient viewers.
Inventive, uneven, and genuinely romantic.
★★★★½

Dark, daring, and darkly funny.
★★★★★
Pasolini resists melodrama, trusting Norton's tender performance to carry a dying father's impossible search for his son's future family.
A weepie that earns every tear through restraint.
★★★★★

A bold, uncomfortable, and brilliantly controlled second feature.
★★★★☆

A modern animated classic — bring tissues.
★★★★☆

A rare film where authenticity earns every tear.
★★★★★
Lojkine follows a delivery cyclist's frantic asylum deadline with urgent handheld immediacy, turning bureaucratic dread into pure cinematic tension.
A thriller where the clock is immigration policy — and it never stops ticking.
