Jeunes meres (2025) **

Set in a maternity home, this Belgian drama tells the stories of five single mothers and their struggles.

Arco (2025) **

French animated film directed by Ugo Bienvenu and Gilles Cazaux. A cross between Miyazaki and "E.T.", quite compelling, but not particularly original.

Yunan (2025) **

Où vont les âmes? (2025) **

Mille secrets mille dangers (2025) **

Menteuse (2025) **

Confusing comedy that tries very hard to make fun of woke politics and other complex subjects, but doesn't really succeed.

Vil et misérable (2025) **

Off-beat comedy about a grumpy, but sympathetic devil trying to adjust to life on Earth.

A Friend Of Dorothy (2025) **

Oscar-nominated short film about an unusual friendship.

All The Empty Rooms (2025) **

An attempt to deal with a profoundly depressing subject matter in a different and unexpected way.

The Devil Is Busy (2025) **

An Oscar-nominated documentary short about an abortion clinic in Atlanta.

Retirement Plan (2025) **

A very philosophical Irish cartoon. A bit too philosophical.

Asura (2025) **

Japanese Netflix series directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda ("Shoplifters", "Monster"). It's a story of four sisters who discover that their father has an affair with a younger woman.

Diane Warren: Relentless (2025) **

Conventional documentary about a great songwriter. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song for the 17th time, Diane Warren /failed once again to win the elusive statuette / finally won the statue she desired so much/.

The Phoenician Scheme (2025) **

A disappointing film from Wes Anderson. It certainly has his signature style with symmetrical compositions, absurd humour, vibrant colours and whimsical dialogue. But it lacks the genius of his greatest works.

Wicked For Good (2025) **

Quite disappointing. Musical numbers:

"Every Day More Wicked"  *

"Thank Goodness / I Couldn't Be Happier"  *

"No Place Like Home"  *

"The Wicked Witch Of The East"  * 

"Wonderful"  *

"As Long As You're Mine"  *

"No Good Deed"  *

"March Of The Witch Hunters"  * 

"The Girl In The Bubble"  *

"For Good"  * 

"Finale"  * 

Come See Me In The Good Light (2025) **

Oscar-nominated documentary about Andrea Gibson. Surprisingly upbeat, considering it's about facing an incurable diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

F1 (2025) **

Will Brad Pitt win the race ? The suspense is as predictable as the ending.

Heart Eyes (2025) **

Very effective slasher pic with convincing performances, clever touches of humour and plenty of thrills and suspense. But it's also quite predictable.

Un P'tit truc en plus (2024) **

French film about two criminals hiding in a summer camp.

Le Successeur (2024) **

French thriller set in Canada. There is one huge and memorable surprise in this film, but some of its plot twists just aren't believable.
