Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
4/10	Skin in Spring (2024)	Nicolás Medina	Mainly due to the construction of the character in the script, the movie fails to define it's main charecteridentity completely. Something that, through its mise-en-scene, the film tries to underline without success. Posted Mar 26, 2024
6/10	Reas (2024)	Nicolás Medina	An irreverent dramatization of the prison life of these actresses-turned-characters in a film that moves completely away from the marginal porn-misery that has spread like a disease in recent Latin American cinema. Posted Mar 26, 2024
9/10	How to Have Sex (2023)	Nicolás Medina	With a shifting camera, tonal shifts from comedy to drama, and even certain sequences that send shivers through the body, the film tells the story of a young English girl facing the end of her adolescence and the beginning of her adult life. Posted Jan 07, 2024
6/10	Terrestrial Verses (2023)	Nicolás Medina	A film that oscillates between documentary and fiction, questioning the figure of authority in Iran, a country where the film was shot in secret. Posted Jan 07, 2024
7/10	Goodbye Julia (2023)	Nicolás Medina	Works first as an essay on secrets, motherhood, and interpersonal relationships, but also as a revolutionary act in itself by Kordofani in the face of the current situation in Sudan. Posted Jan 07, 2024
8/10	Hounds (2023)	Nicolás Medina	Lazraq takes a twist and proposes a funny and irreverent account of the situation that makes us empathize even more with his characters. Posted Jan 07, 2024
7/10	If Only I Could Hibernate (2023)	Nicolás Medina	A heartbreaking portrait of an alien and possibly unknown reality of a place in the world with a truly unknown filmography. Posted Jan 07, 2024
10/10	Hopeless (2023)	Nicolás Medina	Serves as proof of the great achievement of Korean cinema in recent decades as it denounces the underworld life in South Korea, and how many innocent people are forced to enter a life guided by the illegal to survive. Posted Jan 07, 2024
8/10	Only the River Flows (2023)	Nicolás Medina	Only the River Flows brought noir to French theaters with the story of a detective obsessed with a murder that drives him to madness, while reflecting on the idea of storytelling itself. Posted Jan 07, 2024
8/10	The Breaking Ice (2023)	Nicolás Medina	The Breaking Ice confirms the ability of the previous winner of the Camera d’Or to build choral, intimate, and personal stories while exploring human relationships, depression, and polyamory. Posted Jan 07, 2024
2/10	The Delinquents (2023)	Nicolás Medina	The Delinquents is so hermetic and infatuated with itself that it forgets that giving the viewer a three-hour film implies a certain responsibility for a director, and should be worth every minute the viewer is sitting in that seat. Posted Dec 26, 2023
5/10	The New Boy (2023)	Nicolás Medina	Warwick Thornton’s The New Boy puts on Cate Blanchett’s shoulders a story that wants to talk about so many things but ends up talking about none of them. Posted Dec 26, 2023
4/10	Omen (2023)	Nicolás Medina	Baloji squanders possibly the most appealing idea in Un Certain Regard— and turns it into a pretentious exposition of ideological discourses that have nothing to do in the film or in favor of the story it wants to tell. Posted Dec 26, 2023
2/10	Rosalie (2023)	Nicolás Medina	Stéphanie Di Gusto’s Rosalie commits the sin of making a textbook, indifferent, and repetitive period recreation that rests on its discourse about a dysfunctional woman in a conservative era. Posted Dec 26, 2023
