The Raid membawa pencak silat ke layar dunia lewat satu gedung, satu malam, dan koreografi laga yang membuat film aksi Hollywood terlihat malas.

Andrew Stanton sends Woody and Buzz up against a screen-obsessed kid and a frog-shaped tablet, and Pixar finds fresh heart in the oldest fear in the franchise.

★★½☆☆
Ahmed Khan’s third Welcome film stacks Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal into a 164-minute jungle action-comedy that critics call overstuffed. Occasional laughs; no Celluloid recommendation.
Skip unless you are finishing the Welcome trilogy out of loyalty. The cast sparks; the plot never decides whether it is satire, heist, or slapstick.
★★★½☆
Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior 2 (2017) endures as a defining action landmark from China, with scores that still shape how audiences discover cinema from the region.
Worth watching for context — influential even where opinions split.
★★★★½
Alfonso Cuarón's Y Tu Mamá También (2001) endures as a defining drama landmark from Mexico, with scores that still shape how audiences discover cinema from the region.
Essential viewing — a certified classic.
★★★★☆
Showtime's Yellowjackets splits its story across two timelines — teenage survivors of a plane crash and the wrecked women they become — turning cannibal-in-the-woods horror into a study of trauma that never truly ends.
A gripping, ferociously acted survival mystery let down only by its reluctance to answer its own questions. Compulsive, unnerving television.
★★★☆☆
Jon Erwin's French and Indian War origin story finds a charismatic George Washington in William Franklyn-Miller, even when the history turns into musket-firing spectacle.
A patriotic crowd-pleaser that critics find uneven — audiences disagree.
★★★★½
Makoto Shinkai's Your Name (2016) endures as a defining animation landmark from Japan, with scores that still shape how audiences discover cinema from the region.
Essential viewing — a certified classic.
★★★★☆
Letitia Wright anchors Frank Berry's quietly devastating drama about a young Nigerian woman caught in Ireland's immigration limbo for years.
Humane, patient, and quietly enraging.
★★★★☆
Shiori Ito turns her own camera on her years-long fight for justice in Japan — raw, urgent, and impossible to look away from.
Essential documentary filmmaking.
