Joyland (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Pakistan
  • 1 Comment

This largely assured debut feature by Pakistani director Saim Sadiq boldly tackles themes of patriarchy and transgender as a young, married man becomes smitten by a trans woman.

Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Canada, France
  • Leave a comment

This beautifully animated adaptation of several Murakamiโ€™s texts is talky and philosophical as it flits between surrealism and a sense of groundedness, urging us to find or create meaning in life even when there might be none.

Charcoal (2022)

  • 2022, Argentina, Brazil
  • Leave a comment

A Brazilian feature debut to savour, from the weathered beauty of rural villages to compelling performances by the cast as an Argentinian drug kingpin seeks refuge in the home of a family, causing tensions to simmer.

Return to Seoul (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Cambodia, France, South Korea
  • Leave a comment

A Korean adopted by a French couple when she was a baby returns to Korea for the first time as a French woman in Davy Chouโ€™s intimate if chastening third feature, backed by an excellent performance from Park Ji-min in her acting debut.ย

Safe Place (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Croatia
  • 1 Comment

This deliberately-paced and quietly introspective Croatian drama is bleak yet also an utterly personal and intimate look at the topic of suicide, opening the possibility for grief to gurgle to the surface as art tries to heal by the side.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, USA
  • Leave a comment

Eco-โ€˜terrorismโ€™ is explored in this tense and pulsating thriller about a group of environmental activists planning to bomb an oil pipeline in Texas as they try to find a precarious balance between agency and morality.

Eo (2022)

  • Skolimowski, Jerzy
  • 2022, Jerzy Skolimowski, Poland
  • 1 Comment

A saintly donkeyโ€™s journey on acid, but Skolimowskiโ€™s elusive, fragmentary work is also earthy, as he gives us a hallucinatory, at times visually dazzling, piece that pays obvious homage to Bressonโ€™s much sparer and more spiritual ‘Au Hasard Balthazar’.ย

Women Talking (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, USA
  • Leave a comment

It will surely spark more conversations on womenโ€™s agency in dealing with sexual assault and toxic masculinity, but Polleyโ€™s work is visually uninteresting, and the performances might sometimes feel maudlin.ย

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, Edward Berger, Germany
  • 2 Comments

We havenโ€™t had a great anti-war film in yearsโ€”this WWI piece comes just as timely in the wake of Russiaโ€™s invasion of Ukraine, and is as technically accomplished and emotionally involving as some of the finest entries of the genre.

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

  • Others
  • 2022, USA
  • 7 Comments

The Danielsโ€™ wacky vision of a โ€˜multiverseโ€™ action-comedy somewhat revels in its outlandish excess, and is blessed with a cast (headlined by a superb Michelle Yeoh) pretty much game to realise it to its fullest potential.
