Black Bag 2025
Black bag is a luxurious, sophisticated, and finely crafted piece. A five-star cast, chic music, lighting that would make interior designers jealous. All this for a plot where spies who love each other but lie to each other chase after a MacGuffin no one cares about. Because the real interest is elsewhere: dissecting the couple. Trust and lies, transparency and secrets, sex and neuroses make a bad mix. By the end of this very Agatha Christie-style whodunit, Cate Blanchett delivers the perfect line: “You don’t mess with my mariage!” Soderbergh pulls off a high-fashion psychological thriller.

The Brutalist 2024
At last, a great film that lives up to its ambitions. A work that quickly captivates the viewer with its scope (3h35 with an intermission) and its visual, musical, and narrative richness, as well as its subject matter (trauma, guilt, and atonement). The Brutalist is also a scathing critique of the United States—‘a rotten country.’ But Laszlo’s fate, as tragic as it may be, also reveals human fragility while embracing the necessity of art as a remedy for the deepest suffering.

I'm Still Here 2024
Salles makes his grand return with a true story, delivering a political drama about the Brazilian military dictatorship. The film, captivating without being groundbreaking, owes much to Fernanda Torres, who shines as a courageous mother, carrying us through her extraordinary journey.

Carry-On 2024
Merry X-mas? A masked reboot of Die Hard 2 (a 12 Monkeys-style threat in an airport and a working-class security guy who has to save the day), mixed with the pitch of Phone Booth (a villain issuing demands through an earpiece). Shake it up with a dash of political stakes reduced to four lines of dialogue, and pour the cocktail into a slick production with a bit of inclusivity—but no originality and not an ounce of humor. Give us McClane back!
