Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “This second installment aims to dive fiercely into the themes explored in the first Zootopia, but ultimately becomes a tamer, less daring version.” – Emol.com Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “"Bugonia" is another strong example of a filmmaker unafraid to unsettle the audience in order to deliver a truly unique theatrical experience. The film is bizarre on the surface, yet conceals a remarkable subtlety in its acting.” – Emol.com Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 76% 4/5 EDIT “This is a very beautiful story that reflects a nostalgic gaze, evoking both sorrow and joy through fine montage.” – Radio Universo Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Josh O’Connor shines with a character who carries a highly entertaining plot. Rian Johnson once again proves his mastery of the genre.” – Radio Universo Dec 14, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% EDIT “It has a lot to say: it’s fast, rhythmic, and strikingly authentic, thanks to masterful direction and excellent performances.” – Radio Universo Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “The film starring Joel Edgerton is, without a doubt, one of the most moving stories of the year. Its extraordinary performances are the rails that guide it, while its magnificent cinematic language serves as the engine.” – Emol.com Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 67% 4/5 EDIT “"Wicked: For Good" doesn’t have the power and momentum of its predecessor, but it still finds magic in its scale and in the extraordinary talent of its leads, who rise to meet the legacy of a musical that feels like it’s opening new doors for the genre” – Emol.com Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT ““Frankenstein” is an ambitious fable driven by Guillermo del Toro’s immersive craftsmanship and anchored by the outstanding performances of Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi. It’s a film that demands patience — but it’s patience well spent.” – Emol.com Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 60% 2.8/5 EDIT “Ironically, "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" focuses on a moment of great inspiration for the musician, yet lacks that same creative spark itself.” – Emol.com Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 26% 3/5 EDIT “The film is cheesy and full of clichés, but it works thanks to the chemistry among its four main characters.” – Radio Universo Oct 27, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 71% 3.5/5 EDIT ““The Smashing Machine” packs a real punch thanks to strong performances from Johnson and Blunt, even if the story itself lacks a bit of muscle to deliver a greater impact.” – Emol.com Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 3/5 EDIT ““Black Phone 2” is a sequel that lays a solid foundation to continue Finn and Gwen’s story, but gets over complicated when trying to expand its new world.” – Emol.com Oct 20, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 2.5/5 EDIT “A faithful reflection of how AI is used today: a tool that looks incredible, yet limits the ability to be truly creative. It’s a film that shines in its moments of great entertainment, but falters when it comes to consolidate the story in its characters.” – Emol.com Oct 11, 2025 Full Review The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 96% EDIT “Through the innocent eyes of a young girl, we witness the love and strength of a marginalized group, in a sort of coming-of-age story that is beautiful, original, and profoundly meaningful.” – Radio Universo Sep 28, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “One Battle After Another is a fantastic story that gives the audience everything it needs: action, laughs, incredible characters, and more than one surprise. This is auteur cinema with a spectacle's mindset, always preserving Anderson’s signature style.” – Emol.com Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 69% 4.5/5 EDIT “A sharp observation that expands from a single action to a social-political reflection in an organic and masterful way. A work that blends dark comedy with thriller elements to perfection, leaving the audience caught in a strange yet fascinating trance.” – Emol.com Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Those who make it to the theater will be met with a visual spectacle of astronomical scale, intense battles, and more story than many expected” – Emol.com Sep 14, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 57% 2.5/5 EDIT “[The Conjuring 4: Last Rites] builds a deep atmosphere of fear, but its story and characters are so shallow that it ultimately delivers an experience lacking the weight of a true conclusion. It has scares, but nothing new to say.” – Emol.com Sep 6, 2025 Full Review The Wave (2025) 60% 2.9/5 EDIT “A portrait of a historical moment painted with music, vivid colors and dissonances strong enough to distract from the full picture. The team handles the format well, though they don’t always hit the tone they’re aiming for, leaving mixed impressions.” – Emol.com Sep 5, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 95% EDIT “This film’s animation and soundtrack give it a strong personality, which ultimately becomes its greatest asset.” – Radio Universo Aug 23, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “This is a story that manages to get under the audience’s skin and emotions thanks to excellent technical work, even if its narrative doesn’t fully elevate the experience.” – Emol.com Aug 23, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “[The Naked Gun] leans on a talented director and an incredible Liam Neeson to deliver a comedy that feels like the good old days of laughter at the movie theater. ” – Emol.com Aug 16, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “Amazingly, Freakier Friday finds those virtues that allow it to stand as a sequel worth watching, rather than just a mere attempt to cash in on the audience’s nostalgia (though it has a bit of that, too).” – Emol.com Aug 10, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “[Weapons] has everything you need for a great movie experience: a good pace, interesting characters, an engaging mystery, and plenty of scares. Cregger crafts a fantastic film that, despite a few loose ends, will leave many surprised.” – Emol.com Aug 9, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “[The Bad Guys 2] is an animated film that doesn’t rely on rushed attempts at innovation, but instead focuses on delivering a solid story, full of great moments for both kids and adults.” – Emol.com Aug 3, 2025 Full Review
