Alcarras (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Carla Simon, Spain
  • Leave a comment

This finely-tuned Berlinale Golden Bear winner recalls the spirit of Rohrwacher’s The Wonders, showcasing a close-knitted inter-generational Spanish family of peach farmers who face the threat of eviction from their land.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

  • Popular
  • 2022, Sam Raimi, USA
  • Leave a comment

At times packing visual panache yet also feeling run-of-the-mill in terms of plotting, Sam Raimi’s return to the superhero genre is welcoming but non-essential. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Klondike (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Ukraine
  • Leave a comment

A couple’s marriage slowly disintegrates as war draws closer in this measuredly-paced drama set in the context of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over separatist-controlled Eastern Ukraine. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Robe of Gems (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Mexico
  • Leave a comment

The formal rigour of its aesthetics and its slow cinema approach are at times haunting, capturing the traces of presence, disappearance and trauma in Mexico’s crime-infested rural areas, though it ultimately feels like an elusive experience without any inkling of a plot to hold on to. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fire (2022)

  • Denis, Claire
  • 2022, Claire Denis, France
  • Leave a comment

Denis tackles a ‘love triangle’-type drama with brooding intensity if rather conservatively, featuring two showy performances from Juliette Binoche and Vincent Lindon.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Novelist’s Film, The (2022)

  • Hong, Sang-soo
  • 2022, Hong, Sang-soo, South Korea
  • 1 Comment

Rather underwhelming and at best a minor effort, Hong’s latest explores the nature of being an artist, be it writing, filming or performing, while also functioning as a genteel love letter to his star and muse Kim Min-hee. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Coma (2022)

  • Bonello, Bertrand
  • 2022, Bertrand Bonello, France
  • Leave a comment

Bonello’s new ‘pandemic lockdown’ film is difficult to pin down—it’s disjointed yet free, disturbing yet human, as it experiments with form, content and aesthetics with varying results.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Batman, The (2022)

  • Popular
  • 2022, Matt Reeves, USA
  • 1 Comment

Solid and immensely well-crafted if a little too plotty, this Batman channels the dark energy of serial killer, vengeance and torture porn films while, for better or worse, keeping a lid on its bold and perverse aspirations.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
