The Actor
Duke Johnson’s film stands out primarily for its striking visual identity, the kind of that screams “director’s vision” in every frame with all the indulgence and fascination that entails.
Film-Forward
And Their Children After Them, The Quiet Son, The Second Act, Souleymane’s Story | Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2025
Four recommendations for this must-see annual festival.
I’m Still Here
Perhaps director Walter Salles’s best film since Central Station.
Nightbitch
A perfect pairing of actor and director and a carefully crafted work that invites audiences to laugh and cry in absolute complicity.
Oh, Canada
The reunion of Richard Gere and Paul Schrader decades after American Gigolo is not only exciting but also provides Gere the opportunity to deliver one of his finest performances.
The Return
Uberto Pasolini’s retelling of The Odyssey rewards viewers with profound psychological depth and the electrifying chemistry of Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche.
Meanwhile on Earth
Dan Levy’s overwhelming score is the movie's best asset. If you close your eyes, you might imagine you’re experiencing a grounded, minimalist French answer to Interstellar.
Here
Here marks a welcome return to form for Robert Zemeckis. He once again combines his mostly effective sentimentality with special effects wizardry.
