The Life Ahead
Sophia Loren is often greater than any movie she appears in, and this is not an exception.
Film-Forward
Divine Love
A complex political parable that, ironically, empathizes with the “wrong side of history.”
Hopper/Welles
An intense and—to a certain point—confrontational interview that works as an essential documentary about filmmaking.
Epicentro
An essential watch for anyone interested in present-day Cuba, its future, and its fascinating contradictions.
Song Without a Name
A must-watch that's harrowing and infuriating, set in 1988 during the war between the Peruvian government and the Shining Path guerrilla movement.
La Llorona
Jayro Bustamante’s vision of the Weeping Woman is novel, and it's a stroke of genius to imagine this popular legend in relation to the real horrors that have stained Latin American history.
Shine Your Eyes
The journey is more important than the destination in a musician's quest to find his older brother.
Days of the Whale
The debut by Colombian filmmaker Catalina Arroyave refreshingly has a female character at the heart of its crime story.
Wasp Network
Probably one of the weakest entries in the usually worthwhile filmography of the critically revered director Olivier Assayas.
