Strawberries (2026)
Publish Date: May 18, 2026
"A Potent but Flawed Drama (...) There’s a narrative imbalance that works against the film’s overall strengths."

Variety
The Station (2026)
Publish Date: May 17, 2026
"A long-gestating, female-centered project set in Yemen that’s well worth the wait [that's] beautifully played by a largely non-professional cast"

Variety
Alive (2026)
Publish Date: May 14, 2026
"A bold comedy let down by overfamiliar characterizations (...) Clotet proves that she has strengths behind as well as in front of the camera. For a comedy designed around something so serious, it also requires believable relationships embodied by characters of equal depth."

Variety
Yunan (2025)
Publish Date: February 19, 2025
"Evocatively shot, [it] is an ideal calling card for the D.o.P. since it’s his cinematography, alongside minor-key score, most effectively communicates the protagonist’s mournful state of exile"

Deadline
The Blue Trail (2025)
Publish Date: February 18, 2025
"Warm Self-Realization And Dystopian Portent Collide In A Road Movie With A Twist"

Deadline
What Marielle Knows (2025)
Publish Date: February 17, 2025
"[It] is solid, coolly handsome and well-acted, yet the premise calls for something a little more disruptive than what it delivers."

Deadline
The Alleys (2021)
Publish Date: August 18, 2021
"'The Alleys' make us think we’re in Naguib Mahfouz territory (...) but debuting director Bassel Ghandour is ultimately more invested in making a dark thriller, one without the subtlety of Mahfouz"

Variety
Cop Secret (2021)
Publish Date: August 17, 2021
"Slick and fast-paced but unoriginal, 'Cop Secret' makes easy fun of genre conventions without adding anything new apart from the location."

Variety
Secret Name (2021)
Publish Date: August 16, 2021
"A more thorough engagement with issues of class would give more depth to Aurélia Georges’ attractive, often intriguing costume drama."

Variety
The Sacred Spirit (2021)
Publish Date: August 15, 2021
"Ibarra fully understands what he’s doing (...) the fact that the film keeps defying expectation while invariably hitting the right note is a testament to his flair for quirky storytelling"

Variety
Zeros and Ones (2021)
Publish Date: August 13, 2021
"What 'Zeros and Ones' does do — deliberately, calculatedly (...) is reproduce the general state of unease and insecurity that’s plagued most of us during lockdown"

Variety
Ida Red (2021)
Publish Date: August 12, 2021
"The second half has too many unexplained plot leaps but the earlier emphasis on family dynamics saves this action-crime thriller."

Variety
Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash (2021)
Publish Date: August 10, 2021
"An ode to Southeast Asian action films of the 1980s designed as a critique of toxic masculinity, leavened with winking humor."

Variety
Homefront (2021)
Publish Date: August 9, 2021
"Shot almost entirely on blue screen, this return to Expressionist cinema impresses with its boldness rather than its insight."

Variety
Rose (2021)
Publish Date: August 6, 2021
"Though [Françoise Fabian's] personality offers moments of charm and occasional depth, a weak, cliché-riddled script reduces almost everyone to a maximum of two characteristics."

Variety
Petite Solange (2021)
Publish Date: August 6, 2021
"A tiresome divorce drama (...) the results merely feel out of place, bizarrely innocent and clumsily executed"

Variety
The River (2021)
Publish Date: August 5, 2021
"It’s [Salhab's] most objectively beautiful feature yet, it also gives nothing away, demanding a heightened engagement with both his artful mise-en-scène and his nation’s psychological state"

Variety
Marx Can Wait (2021)
Publish Date: July 16, 2021
"Straightforward in concept yet psychologically profound, the film draws the audience in with a lingering sadness made more potent by the director’s clear yet unspoken sense of guilt."

Variety
Babi Yar. Context (2021)
Publish Date: July 14, 2021
"'Babi Yar. Context' has power but falls short of the director’s greatest works, largely because his span here is considerably longer, and in consequence the focus suffers."

Variety
Casanova, Last Love (2019)
Publish Date: July 14, 2021
"The deep well of Casanova lore offers many opportunities for refreshment, yet Benoît Jacquot’s version dips into surprisingly flat waters"
