    Watching Downpour is like stepping into a moment suspended in time. The film captures not only the struggles of its characters but also the subtle tensions of a society in flux. The lead character’s sense of isolation is hauntingly portrayed, and the film’s visual style perfectly mirrors his internal journey. Though it drags slightly, it’s hard not to be taken by its sensitivity and craftsmanship. A strong piece from Iranian New Wave cinema that feels surprisingly contemporary.

    The long wait to watch The Circle was worth every minute. Panahi’s skillful direction transforms the story into an emotional labyrinth, showing each woman’s life as an individual story within a larger, oppressive system. A rare find and a must-see.

    This Swedish gem dives into themes of identity and isolation, with a beautifully restrained performance from Eva Henning. Ekman’s direction adds elegance to this melancholic story, though its ambiguity might frustrate some. The movie resonates as a quiet, powerful portrait of solitude.
