Living the Land is extremely slow and a tad too long, so it’s not for everyone, but I found it to be deeply moving, with a beauty both aesthetic and thematic.

Mother Mary (2026) – Movie Review
This theatrical drama about a tortured pop star and her estranged friend didn’t quite work for me.
Blue Heron (2026) – Movie Review
There is an interesting convergence between films like Aftersun, My Father’s Shadow, and this Blue Heron, where young filmmakers are using movies to interrogate their own childhoods after the loss of a loved one.
The Christophers (2026) – Movie Review
A wonderful two-hander that is mostly a double character study with the occasional touch of a Soderbergh heist.
The Drama (2026) – Movie Review
It sounds like a backhanded recommendation, but watch The Drama even if it’s going to make you squirm in your seat for the entire runtime. Don’t miss it!
The Choral (2025) – Movie Review
A baffling lack of stakes leaves an otherwise competent movie feeling inert.
My Father’s Shadow (2026) – Movie Review
Paraphrasing The Hours, there are stories that are one day in a character’s life, and in one day, their whole life.
Bitter Christmas (Amarga Navidad) (2026) – Movie Review
A Pedro Almodóvar movie is always a guarantee of interesting themes, gorgeous production design and cinematography, musical lyricism… the craft of filmmaking, in short.
The Testament of Ann Lee (2026) – Movie Review
The Testament of Ann Lee is a deeply musical film, although I don’t think anyone would describe it as “a musical”. It is an exercise in understanding, even recreating, religious ecstasy.
H is for Hawk (2026) – Movie Review
H is for Hawk will not make you want to take up falconry, but it has as much to say about people as it does about goshawks.
