    No Other Land

    ★★★★

    No Other Land is a devastating and urgent documentary—one that needs to be seen. It is a film that does not just inform; it immerses, bearing witness to the horrors Palestinians have faced for decades. And while what’s shown is only a fraction of the full-scale violence, it is a devastating reminder of the ongoing horror that so many are forced to endure.

    Nosferatu

    ★★★★½

    Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a masterclass in atmosphere and tone. As someone who deeply admires the original film and its groundbreaking role in German Expressionism, I was captivated by how Eggers both honors the past and breathes new life into the material. The film’s overall tone; defined by a sense of gloom, mist, and a desaturated look, is not just an aesthetic choice but feels like a character in itself. This visual style enhances the emotional weight of Ellen’s journey,…
