★★★★1/2 Shih-Ching Tsou's tender debut, solo feature takes us on an immersive and vibrant tour through the streets of Taipei, with cultural expectations intensifying the domestic dynamics and melodrama at its core.
Hamnet (2025)
★★★★ Jessie Buckley commands the screen with an Oscar-worthy turn in Chloe Zhao's gorgeously crafted Shakespearean drama, a film that packs an emotional punch but lacks the nuance of Zhao's more modest earlier projects.
Roofman (2025)
★★★★ Derek Cianfrance delivers a true-crime caper that feels both light on its feet and deeply heartfelt, letting Channing Tatum shine with such irresistible charm that you cannot help but cheer for the real-life serial burglar.
Frankenstein (2025)
★★★1/2 Every frame glows with del Toro's reverence for the source material, but this unwavering faithfulness leaves little room for unexpected delights. Coupled with sluggish pacing, the result sometimes feels like a beautiful but tiresome journey.
