Balls Up (2026) 28% 1/10 EDIT “Balls Up exposes a fundamental problem: it doesn't understand the world it represents or the genre it attempts to uphold. Football is reduced to an excuse, Brazil to a caricature, and comedy to a series of failed attempts. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 15, 2026 Full Review La casaca de Dios (2026) 6/10 EDIT “...the film does not seek to establish an epic narrative, but rather to question what remains when memory is transformed into an object, and what place those who try to sustain it occupy when everything else begins to disappear. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 10, 2026 Full Review El Pozo (2012) 6/10 EDIT “Carnevale focuses on the more complex dimensions of the issue, avoiding oversimplification and offering a perspective that seeks to challenge established prejudices surrounding the topic. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Rio (2011) 72% 6/10 EDIT “The film touches on themes related to environmental protection and the illegal wildlife trade, albeit tangentially. However, these aspects serve more as a backdrop than as the central focus of the narrative. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The World Is Big and Salvation Lurks Around the Corner (2008) 8/10 EDIT “Within a circuit where Bulgarian cinema circulates only in a limited way, the film presents itself as a gateway to a little-known cinematic tradition. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Problemista (2023) 86% 7/10 EDIT “On the one hand, it offers an interpretation of migrant precarity and the conditions of integration in the United States; on the other, it chooses to approach this material through comedy, thus overlooking traditional drama. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Kilómetro 31 (2006) 6/10 EDIT “... Kilómetro 31 confirms its director's intention: to construct an accessible story that resonates with a broad audience, as had already happened in Mexico, and to project that reach into other markets. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Miss Tacuarembó (2010) 10/10 EDIT “...Miss Tacuarembó is a great film that will entertain you, move you, and at the very least, leave you with a smile. It's a story to sing and dance to, to laugh and cry to, a story that will make you feel alive. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Apr 2, 2026 Full Review 53 Sundays (2026) 6/10 EDIT “Although its theatrical origins condition the cinematic experience and limit visual scope, the film relies on the consistency of its performances and a script that prioritizes verbal exchange as its driving force. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Mar 30, 2026 Full Review 76 89 23 (2025) 7/10 EDIT “...76 89 23 recovers the provocative spirit of that “early Argentine cinema without a message” which ended up being profoundly political, and reclaims cinematic debate as an act of cultural citizenship. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Whiplash (2014) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Chazelle's most significant achievements lie not only in a flawless script but also in the construction of the characters' psychological profiles. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere (2026) 78% 7/10 EDIT “At the intersection of algorithms, the digital market, and promises of male success, the documentary proposes to observe a phenomenon that has ceased to be marginal and has become part of the internet's cultural landscape. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Hierarchy (2025) 4/10 EDIT “Amidst chases, conspiracies, and family conflicts, the film promises a high-voltage thriller that ultimately devolves into a drawn-out narrative that never reaches the expected intensity. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Mar 12, 2026 Full Review 300letters (2025) 8/10 EDIT “Towards the end, 300letters offers neither immediate redemption nor a moral lesson. What it proposes is the dismantling of a shared fiction. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Mar 3, 2026 Full Review The Darjeeling Limited (2007) 69% 8/10 EDIT “The director constantly infuses the plot with subtle irony and a dark humor rarely seen in cinema. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Feb 13, 2026 Full Review City of Dreams (2024) 50% 4/10 EDIT “The film points out the crime, shows it, and repeats it, but dedicates less time to exploring the conditions that make it possible, as if the urgency of the message were displacing any attempt at complexity. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Feb 2, 2026 Full Review The Big Fake (2026) 6/10 EDIT “It doesn't forge a sustained connection with the viewer nor does it take risks in its perspective, but it offers a clear and accessible account of a key period in Italian history. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Spread (2009) 22% 2/10 EDIT “There are no scenes that build meaning, nor are there any formal choices that compensate for the script's emptiness. It falls short as both entertainment and provocation. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Young Hearts (2024) 92% 8/10 EDIT “Young Hearts finds its greatest strength in its narrative economy. The film employs melodrama, but does so with restraint, avoiding over-explanation or discursive closure. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Halloween II (2009) 24% 4/10 EDIT “Despite "keeping alive" the spirit of a legend, the film has a strange, meandering approach and constant repetition that makes it barely entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Murdercise (2023) 6/10 EDIT “It fulfills its runtime, offers some visually striking moments, and exhausts itself within its own structure. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 98% 8/10 EDIT “Without resorting to allegory, the film suggests opposing yet complementary movements that hark back to old territorial divisions. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 8/10 EDIT “Pillion neither romanticizes inequality nor presents it as a problem to be solved: it proposes observing how certain relationships are sustained by explicit agreements, even when they clash with dominant emotional types.[Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Freelance (2023) 10% 1/10 EDIT “Freelance doesn't fail due to excess, but rather to absence: of conflict, of ideas, and of interest in what it puts on screen. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Winter Visitor (2007) 6/10 EDIT “...Winter Visitor demonstrates a clear intention: to integrate horror into the Argentine commercial circuit and compete for a space that, internationally, has shown sustained growth. [Full review in Spanish]” – EscribiendoCine Jan 19, 2026 Full Review
