Assembled from two decades of Jia Zhangke's own footage, this drifting portrait of love and displacement finds Tao Zhao aging alongside a nation in flux.
Essential viewing for anyone who believes cinema can hold time.
★★★★★
Ryan White documents poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley facing terminal illness with humor and unguarded affection—earned tears, not sentiment.

Essential history, told with the urgency it deserves.
★★★★★
Lund stretches one last amateur ballgame into a shaggy elegy for small-town ritual, finding poignancy in the sport's dead time and enduring friendships.
Patient, shaggy, and unexpectedly moving — if you meet it on its own clock.
★★★★☆
Kelly O'Sullivan's Chicago drama turns a real family cast into something rare — a grief story that earns its Shakespeare without a single false note.
Celluloid Pick and deeply human.
★★★½☆

Ensemble drama at its most precise.
★★★★☆
Louise Courvoisier finds unexpected sweetness in a teenager's clumsy attempt to hold his family together after his father's death.
A gentle French masterwork hiding in plain sight.
