Materialists (2025) ***

Excellent romantic comedy directed by Celine Song ("Past Lives"). Intelligent, surprising and sophisticated.

A House Of Dynamite (2025) ***

Way better than "Fail Safe" (1964), but nowhere near as good as "Dr Strangelove" (1964). A tense, edge-of-your-seat thriller with an ending that is both perfect and infuriating.

Bugonia (2025) ***

A crazed conspiracy theorist (Jesse Plemons) kidnaps a CEO of a pharmaceutical company (Emma Stone) and accuses her of being an alien from Outer Space.

Frankenstein (2025) ***

Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of the famous horror novel is uneven, but visually stunning. Set direction and cinematography are flawless. However, it's much too long, and a bit slow, especially in the second act.

Honey Don't (2025) ***

K-Pop Demon Hunters (2025) ***

Terrific animated film directed by Maggie Khan and Chris Appelhans. A wild mix of showbiz musical, supernatural horror flick, action film extravaganza and wise-ass buddy comedy.

After The Hunt (2025) ***

Complex and ambiguous film about cancel culture and victimhood. Its radical determination to explore every possible shade of grey is definitely impressive, even if it's often maddeningly unclear what exactly has happened in this film, and what real-life events have inspired it.
