Landmarks (2025) 94% 9/10 EDIT “Martel delivers cinematic justice in the form of a documentary that transcends its own synopsis to offer an invaluable effort in empathy towards humanity's eternal struggle to assert it's value and identity beyond the material. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review The Souffleur (2025) 3/10 EDIT “A particular but not really successful effort to deliver very few people with a very lukewarm time. One interesting performance and a sterile attempt to being interesting sometime's not enough. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 7/10 EDIT “A slick and solid kind tale that doesn't get made anymore, but it's biggest triumph is creating but a glimpse of what used to be a barely above-average action thriller in past decades. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 8/10 EDIT “Zhao manages to offer quite a memorable experience out of a project too ambitious for it's own good, bolstering real history with enough poetic and mystical qualities to push Hamnet's tale into myth. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 5/10 EDIT “A lesser film than it's predecessor, offers nonetheless enough moments of bizarre personality to engage with fans of this renewed zombie saga that trascends life, death and frankly, any logic. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 9/10 EDIT “At it's weakest, this film's just straight entertainment. But thanks to some strange moments of brilliance and a spectacular beginning and end, this is easily one of the best films of both Chalamet's and Josh Safdie's career. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Paprika (2006) 87% 10/10 EDIT “A must see masterpiece for every animation and cinema fan out there. The magnum opus of one of the greats that feels both intimately precise and impossibly ambitious. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 7/10 EDIT “A surprisingly solid script isn't enough to make this unabashedly entertaining premise stick the landing, thanks in part to a mostly generic cast of characters and an ending that's not up to par. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review MadS (2024) 94% 7/10 EDIT “A tense nocturnal descent into the chaos of youth that proves particularly engaging thanks to the project's one take ambition. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Eyes of the Abyss (2025) 5/10 EDIT “An irregular experience that could be engaging for independent film fans, ends up sinking it's intriguing beginning and ambitious finale into the muddy waters of stretched length and cliches. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Heads or Tails? (2025) 92% 9/10 EDIT “An irreverent western than manages to uphold the more classical aspects of the genre while keeping it fresh thanks to having one feet in the past and the other in just keeping things fun. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 8/10 EDIT “Edgar Wright pulls off another solid action effort with plenty of personality that somehow keeps feeling lesser than the genre defining parodies of his early years. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Crazy Old Lady (2025) 73% 9/10 EDIT “A brilliant Carmen Maura leads this intriguing psychological thriller that balances cliches with some nice tension and plenty of dark humour typical of both it's spanish and argentine origins. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 9/10 EDIT “Ramsay delivers once again a film worthy of being seen, thought about and discussed at length. While Lawrence finally does a project worthy of her talents. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% 8/10 EDIT “More than just a promising premise, it's one of the most refreshing horror experiences of the year. Doesn't scare away audiences that usually avoid horror but offers enough atmosphere to engage genre fans. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 7/10 EDIT “Successfully turns what was a great little film into the first half of what feels like the full experience. Does a great job complementing the first film while neglecting some duties of being an individual sequel. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 7/10 EDIT “A vintage yet evergreen retooling of the heist genre exploring how men fall prey of cycles of socioeconomic unrest and neglect their individual responsibilities trying to overcorrect an eroded ego. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 9/10 EDIT “The result of a script that dares to explore complex social behavior through the subjective POV of a troubled lead proves messy, but Guadagnino's delicate direction helps build a uniquely worthy emotional experience by the end. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 71% 5/10 EDIT “A noble project with little personality that aims to honor the fighters that helped make UFC what it's today while offering a barely decent The Rock performance and a disappointing start to the youngest Safdie solo career. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 9/10 EDIT “One of the most representative movies of this decade, not only for it's absolute brilliance but it's charismatic treatment of themes both contemporary and cyclical. An unabashedly political odyssey of riveting cinematic intensity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 7/10 EDIT “A very good script, great characters and some memorable performances help support a simple yet intriguing premise. It's a shame there isn't more of a cinematic support to bolster it's literary and theatrical strengths. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 86% 8/10 EDIT “A franchise that gets slightly better with every new film while never transcending beyond serviceable enjoyment. Unwieldy expectations are the only enemy of what's basically a "Fast and Furious for kids" Feat. vintage Jim Carrey. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 9/10 EDIT “Tension filled horror with that grim melancholy of the inevitable tragedy. May feel too static if one expect classics to be reinvented, but Eggers crude gothic obsessions reaffirms Orlok as the original cinematic vampyr. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 46% 5/10 EDIT “A chaotic farce that mixes Shakespeare with the Looney Tunes. The clarity of ambition from Fritz Lang's Metropolis meets the insane-decisions-per-second from George Lucas' Star Wars prequels to offer the rambling echoes of genius. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 9/10 EDIT “Reijn has built a psychological thriller much more interesting and deep that what it's "erotic games" superficiality may suggest. An engaging look forward in a sub-genre usually limited by male minded simplicity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review
