Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	Lonely Planet (2024)	Valentina Morillo	It can be watched effortlessly and is a great plan for a quiet Saturday afternoon, but its dramatic progression is that of a healthy and resting heart's electrocardiogram. And that's not what we ask of a romantic movie. Posted Oct 16, 2024 Edit critic review
	The Idea of You (2024)	Valentina Morillo	With more emphasis on romance than comedy, this film reclaims the importance of sex in these romantic stories, focusing on the playfulness and intimacy of these encounters and putting female desire in the spotlight. Posted May 06, 2024 Edit critic review
	Scoop (2024)	Valentina Morillo	Coincidentally, its premiere on Netflix feels more timely and relevant than ever. It's the season of The Crown that Peter Morgan denied us. Posted Apr 16, 2024 Edit critic review
	You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack (2024)	Valentina Morillo	It is an uncomfortable and painful journey, but as we say in these cases: necessary. And if this adjective has lost its value, always keep in mind that the momentary discomfort of the viewer is insignificant compared to the experience of the survivors. Posted Mar 01, 2024 Edit critic review
	May December (2023)	Valentina Morillo	The tone constantly walks a tightrope that keeps the viewer off balance, forcing them to ask themselves at every turn if they are empathizing with anyone on screen. If so, with whom, why, and whether the pursuit of motivations is really relevant. Posted Mar 01, 2024 Edit critic review
	Aftersun (2022)	Valentina Morillo	Aftersun is a sad and beautiful exploration of grief, of Sophie's struggle to reconcile complex and conflicting feelings about her father, and her struggle to forgive his decision, and perhaps to forgive herself. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	Tár (2022)	Valentina Morillo	A journey that leads Lydia to a descent into the abyss of his mistakes, guilt, fear and a poetic revenge that comes against her for the wrong, but not undeserving reasons. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)	Valentina Morillo	The greatest tragedy of all is that one of the friends will sacrifice what made them special, only to become another banshee of Inisherin. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	Your Place or Mine (2023)	Valentina Morillo	A rom-com with no chemistry, in which Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher fail to ignite any passion. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	Cassandro (2023)	Valentina Morillo	The film omits the most dramatic situations of Saúl Armendáriz's life and chooses to highlight the positive aspects of a journey of ascent, never showing the fall. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	Fair Play (2023)	Valentina Morillo	In his debut feature, Dumont demonstrates a great narrative pulse, crafting a thriller that works like a pressure cooker, with a payoff that is as inevitable as it is surprising. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	Anatomy of a Fall (2023)	Valentina Morillo	Directed with masterful precision, this is a compelling and fascinating work that will linger in the memory, and Sandra Hüller's performance is one of the great interpretations of the year. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	Past Lives (2023)	Valentina Morillo	It will be remembered as one of the great romantic dramas of the century. It is also a personal story about the experience of emigration, about lost ties and the new identity that is built. About what is left behind. The past lives. Posted Dec 29, 2023 Edit critic review
	Soft & Quiet (2022)	Valentina Morillo	'Soft & Quiet' is intense, chilling, increasingly oppressive, and deeply uncomfortable, even though it keeps off-screen many of their most egregious actions. It's hard to watch. Maybe that's the point. Posted Dec 15, 2023 Edit critic review
