Hole in the Sky

Hole in the Sky review

"Hole In The Sky is slow-paced cinema. There isn't much happening in terms of dramatic events, the characters are rigid and introvert and odd behavior is often taken for granted."

St. John's Wort

1002
St. John's Wort review

"It is far from a perfect film, maybe not a film that will stay with you for a very long time, but it sure sticks out from the rest."

The Unforgiving

1003
The Unforgiving review

"If you're up for a no-bullshit horror/thriller, you can't really go wrong with The Unforgiving."

Gratitude

1004
Gratitude review

"The soundtrack and visuals wrap themselves around the audience like a warm blanket while the drama slowly unfolds and runs its course. Fans of the genre will feel right at home"

Seventh Moon

1005
Seventh Moon review

"It's a shame that Sanchez couldn't get the camera work right, otherwise Seventh Moon could've been a contender of films like [Rec] and Blair Witch."

Tamami: The Baby's Curse

1006

"It sports a cool main character, some nice camera work and very atmospheric and detailed styling."

Ghost in the Shell 2.0

1007

"It was a while since I last watched Ghost in the Shell, but the film still feels like a dream."

This Must Be the Place

"This Must Be The Place is a lovely mix of comedy, absurdity and human drama, featuring a strong lead and a memorable cast of secondary characters."

The Collector

1009
The Collector review

"The pacing is fast, the tension strong and the concept fun enough to make it a lovely little genre film."

Women Play Twice

1010
Women Play Twice review

"Considering the film as a whole it's not that much different from a normal feature-length Japanese drama, though the change in characters and perspectives do add some welcome variation."

Batman: Gotham Knight

1011
Batman: Gotham Knight review

"The animation is top-notch, the art styles are bold and out there, and with six separate stories to tell there's plenty of variation. Batman fares well in anime land."

Butterfly

1012
Butterfly review

"The stylish cinematography, the beautiful soundtrack, and two amazing central performances make this a lively and empathic LGBTQ+ romance."

In Love with the Dead

1013
In Love with the Dead review

"In Love With The Dead is a neat little genre film that thrives on atmosphere, providing a solid dramatic base overlaid with dark and brooding sentiments."

Harry Brown

1014
Harry Brown review

"Harry Brown has quite a lot to offer. Visually strong, aided by a great soundtrack and a more than solid cast, it's a grim film that presents itself way better than most of the competition."

Snow White: The Sequel

1015
Snow White: The Sequel review

"The film is pretty short and rightfully so. A joke can only be stretched that far, and when you start getting used to the tone of the film the fun slowly fades."

Hold Up Down

1016
Hold Up Down review

"The comedy is spot on, the cinematography is solid, the film works up to a strong crescendo and there are some very memorable scenes scattered throughout."

The Seaside Motel

1017
The Seaside Motel review

"It's definitely not the best entry in the genre, but it's a very welcome addition for those craving fresh meat."

CJ7

1018
CJ7 review

"A film that could charm you as easily as it could disappoint you. Chow is enough of a director to pull it off, but those wanting another typical Chow comedy will be left with empty hands."

White Panic

1019
White Panic review

"All in all White Panic is a great calling card for director Shugo Fujii (who you might already know from Living Hell)."

7 Days

1020
7 Days review

"Les 7 Jour du Talion is another great entry in the Francophone wave of modern horror films."

Loved Gun

1021
Loved Gun review

"Loved Gun is a moody crime flick, built on an excellent cast and enriched with a layer of comedic touches, aptly hidden behind a veil of introspection and subdued stylistic choices."

Leaving Me, Loving You

1022
Leaving Me, Loving You review

"Wonderful cinematography, lush sets and two strong actors make this film. You have to wade through a few mushy parts, mostly in the beginning, after that it's all good."

The Red Shoes

1023
The Red Shoes review

"The ending is pretty cool (especially the short second ending), the film never bores, remains beautiful throughout and is just plain good at everything it tries and does."

Secret

1024
Secret review

"Feels a bit poppy and maybe a bit too flimsy, apart from that it's one big solid romance with a pretty cool twist and a magnificent ending leaving you pretty fulfilled after the film has finished."

Hard Luck Hero

1025
Hard Luck Hero review

"The actors are solid, there are quirky narrative details, the cinematography is on point and the pacing is slick. All that is needed for some prime entertainment."
