Sorda (Eva Libertad, 2025)
There is a more deep step in the approach to deaf people in this very convincing film, which manages to convey feelings and frustrations with truth, and not only represent situations from which they deduce each other. Angela is deaf, while her husband Héctor is a listener; She has her work, her friends and a rewarding relationship. It would be said that it is reasonably integrated into society. But the birth of a child with whom he has to learn to communicate puts in crisis what was achieved and forces to reformulate family relationships. To become aware: successful first prize of the Malaga Festival.
Pause life (Alexandros Avranas, 2024)
A disturbing history of Russian refugees in Sweden: a couple with two daughters suffering from a strange syndrome that leaves them in a coma. Narrated with coldness, there are moments that looks like a Nordic film film; Others A family melodrama that invites us to think how we educate children or how far we are attempted … very curious, but did not hook me.
A whale (Pablo Hernando, 2024)
It is already a common place in the most recent police intrigues, the resource to dose the information to the viewer so that it does not know what the story is about, how are the characters or to what extent each sequence is built on the previous one. This happens with this length, third of its director, with which it is difficult to tune in. And when fantastic elements such as the whale orbiting around the moon are included, then we are definitely lost. Ingrid García-Jonsson is fine, the problem is his character. Refrain.
Modigliani, three days in Montparnasse (Johnny Depp, 2024)
The convulsive and contradictory life of the Italian painter and sculptor based in Paris when the disease and misunderstanding carry their existence to anyone's land are concentrated in three days of 1916. The first section of burlesque humor and with a certain carnival tone prevents the viewer from identifying with the characters; Hence, the climatic sequence – the conversation of Modigliani with the Gangnat Marchant (Al Pacino) – does not work as such and shows the protagonist in descent to hell.
Guillermo Tell (Nick Hamm, 2025)
The epic of the Swiss hero begins “in media res” with the apple scene, whose outcome does not reach up to time and peak. In addition to small roles for stars – Ben Kingsley as king – this British commercial production plays the setting of the atmosphere, impressive alpine locations, violence and action of rudales, doses of feminism and multiculturality update, and manichaeism to the use of good (Helvetic independentistas) against the bad bad that are the Austrians. At times entertain, in others it is known and tired but, in any case, there are a few minutes left over.
A life in secret (Savi Gabizon, 2024)
The Israeli director Perpetra a “remake” of his own film, this time set in North America and starring Richard Gere. It is a naked and unlikely work, with really incredible moments such as the conversation in the cemetery of two types, parents of two son and daughter buried there; or the session in the institute where the protagonist tells his child abuse. Already the starting point, with a millionaire who discovers that he has been a father while knowing that his son has suffered a fatal accident is far, but development abounds in twisting. Of course, Gere is always to show off. Anyway, refrain.
