Laugh-out-loud funny, bursting with passion and creative energy. Also... More than once extremely cringeworthy, childish and naive in its approach to characters, storytelling and themes. It's self-indulgence is both the movie's biggest quality and what ultimately keeps it from being great.

Islands 2025
It's emotional and fun to get carried away by the accumulated intrigue of the movie's first half. But once the movie starts to vaguely double down on scenarios you already had plenty of time to escalate in your head... The road is paved towards an underwhelming dissappointment.

Dreams 2025
Now THIS is the kind of movie you dread Berlinale for.
Somehow embarassingly dumb in its (politically charged) overtness and unintentionally muddled at the same time... (Clichéd fetishization and obvious non-chemistry between the leads kind of "carry" the narration...)There is not a single authentic bone in this ugly body. Every character moment, every story beat, every attempt at commentary feels asserted. None of it is earned or surprising. Some of it baffling.
The kind of movie which makes you leave the cinema and swear an oath to never watch any arthouse film ever again.

Welcome Home Baby 2025
Its rare moments of unintentional comedy and even rarer moments of cinematic effectiveness (always ultimately ruined by repition and self indulgence) would not salvage this movie if it was an hour shorter.
Consequences, nuance, reasons to care? How about drone noises instead, whilst we unravel this mystery... Brbrbrbrbrbr.... this... gigantic mystery... Brbrbrbrbrbr.... of why neither characters nor the movie itself ... Brbrbrbrbrbr... ever.... Brbrbrbrbrbr... follow up on anything that's happening... to them... Brbrbrbrbrbrbr...
