critic Disclosure Day
Disclosure Day Is Spielberg in Restrained, Slow-Burn Mode
★★★★☆
A stacked ensemble cast carries a sci-fi thriller more interested in fallout and control than spectacle.
Tense, deliberate, and well-acted.

critic Rose
Rose Review: Sandra Hüller Is Extraordinary in a Nearly Flawless Period Drama
★★★★½
Markus Schleinzer's black-and-white Thirty Years' War drama is a masterclass in control, led by a career-best performance from Sandra Hüller.
Austere, immaculate, quietly devastating.
critic Ghost in the Cell
Ghost in the Cell Review: Joko Anwar's Bloody, Brilliant Prison Nightmare
★★★½☆
A notorious prison becomes a pressure cooker of gore, gallows humor, and institutional rot in Joko Anwar's most purely entertaining film in years.
Splattery, savage, and a lot of fun.
critic Wait Until I Make It
Wait Until I Make It Review: The Lebaran Comedy That Actually Gets It
★★★★☆
A three-years-unemployed man's race to prove himself before his family's Eid gathering turns into one of the year's most quietly honest comedies.
Funny, sincere, and uncomfortably relatable.
critic Yellow Letters
Yellow Letters Review: The Golden Bear Winner That Makes Censorship Personal
★★★★☆
İlker Çatak follows The Teachers' Lounge with a Golden Bear-winning drama about a Turkish artist couple crushed by state retaliation.
Urgent, gripping, occasionally overextended.
critic Behind the Scenes
Behind the Scenes Review: A Box-Office Juggernaut With a Thin Script
★★½☆☆
Funke Akindele's record-breaking family drama connects with audiences even as its glossy staging and telegraphed twists frustrate critics.
Crowd-pleasing but creatively cautious
critic My Father's Shadow
My Father's Shadow Review: Nigeria's Cannes Breakthrough Is a Quiet Marvel
★★★★½
A single day in 1993 Lagos becomes a devastating portrait of fatherhood, memory, and a nation on edge.
A near-perfect debut
