    Run Lola Run

    ★★★★

    Run Lola Run is a nonstop burst of energy, blending rapid-fire storytelling with a clever time-loop structure. The film plays out in three different scenarios, highlighting how small choices can drastically alter fate.

    Franka Potente is outstanding as Lola, thrown into a race against time where every second counts. The pulsating techno soundtrack fuels the urgency, making it feel like you’re right there with her. Visually, the film is packed with stylish edits, inventive camera work, and even animated sequences.…

It also had a solid story, which could have been more developed in certain areas, but it’s good for what it is.

    Overall, Demon City is a 7.5/10 for me.

    Alleluia

    ★★★★

    Alléluia is a haunting and hypnotic psychological thriller that reimagines the true story of the “Honeymoon Killers” in a raw and visceral way. It’s an intense movie that makes it hard to look away, even when things take a brutally dark turn.

    The film thrives on its two leads, Lola Dueñas (The Sea Inside, Volver) and Laurent Lucas (Raw, In My Skin, Calvaire), and the toxic, obsessive relationship they bring to life. Watching their dynamic unravel is both enthralling and…
