Review

While there are smart filmmaking choices in play, 'Only the River Flows' suffers from the director’s over-eagerness to provide commentary...

Contains a particularly memorable use of kerosene fluid and a lighter creating one of the most satisfying finishing moves.

'The Sales Girl' is something much more defiantly alive than a traditional coming-of-age tale. 

There’s no denying director Daishi Matsunaga’s keen eye for creating characters that come alive on the screen.

A powerful, unsparing documentary that utilises the camera as a means for a community's survival against oppression.

'Tokyo Godfathers' seems built upon a series of happy accidents until audiences are cajoled into accepting the most outlandish examples...

'The Glassworker' is a pioneering achievement and a dream come true to so many of its creatives.

'Caught by the Tides' is interesting on a metatextual level, even if only on that level.

'New Wave' is about the music, but it’s equally about what the music masks—a tricky balance.

'The Acolyte' marks a thrilling new direction for the Star Wars franchise at large.
