The River Train (2026) EDIT “Even when giving it a dose of reality, Lorenzo Ferro and Lucas Vignale are compassionate toward their little hero. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Paradise (2026) EDIT “[Jeremy Comte] creates a dialogue between two worlds based on a shared drama, but then decides to forge a stronger link between the stories, born from the resilience of a country dedicated to profiting from the "privileged." [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Lovely Day (2025) EDIT “Canadian director Philippe Falardeau's film, in a way, turns the stereotype of marriage films on its head, giving in to disorder. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 9, 2025 Full Review A Poet (2025) 100% EDIT “[A Poet is] definitely on a different wavelength compared to [Simón Mesa Soto's] recent film. The fact is that both are among the best recently produced in Colombia. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Aug 14, 2025 Full Review Wild Foxes (2025) 90% EDIT “... the psychological treatment so often mentioned in the film never happens. Wild Foxes sounds more like an alarm to me. This is what happens when post-trauma isn't addressed... [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 28, 2025 Full Review Kika (2025) EDIT “...Kika proves to be stimulating and revealing. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 28, 2025 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% EDIT “A Useful Ghost, while eccentrically humorous, has much to offer as a social drama. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 28, 2025 Full Review I Only Rest in the Storm (2025) 79% EDIT “Pedro Pinho presents us with an almost irreconcilable scenario. Despite this, the director doesn't dare to exterminate his protagonist's idealism. All in all, there's a certain brutal optimism in this film. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 20, 2025 Full Review Sleepless City (2025) 86% EDIT “This is a film that could well be interpreted as a clear alternative to ending the days of the Cañada Real. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 20, 2025 Full Review Death Does Not Exist (2025) 79% EDIT “Félix Dufour-Laperriere's film is like a pass into limbo, a moment for its heroine to observe and discern her earthly thoughts and then return to reality to create her own paradise. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro May 16, 2025 Full Review The Message (2025) 89% EDIT “... a film full of humanity and an honest and warm portrait of human relationships. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Home Sweet Home (2025) EDIT “...a portrait with a lot of emotional empathy. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Hysteria (2025) 93% EDIT “...the film takes on an absurd, almost slapstick quality. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay approaches this difficult-to-heal event with a sense of humor. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Feb 18, 2025 Full Review GEN_ (2025) 100% EDIT “The key to [GEN_ ] is to demonstrate how complex and diverse the reasoning behind fertility treatments and sex change interventions are. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jan 29, 2025 Full Review The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (2025) 84% EDIT “The discovery of [Natalia's] sexuality, her friendships or family ties, as well as her expectations for the future, are flawed. And, obviously, there is no evidence of a mature voice to correct her. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Jan 29, 2025 Full Review They Will Be Dust (2024) 100% EDIT “This is definitively not a family movie looking to create Kodak moments. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Youth (Homecoming) (2024) 94% EDIT “Because much of the story happens in provincial areas, the audience becomes a privileged observer of actions that have not yet been affected by modernity. It is a bittersweet farewell to the characters. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Seven Days (2024) EDIT “Ali Samadi Ahadi delivers a story that finds ambiguous reasoning. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 16, 2024 Full Review A Road to a Village (2023) EDIT “A Road to a Village is reminiscent of Roberto Rossellini or Vittorio De Sica's neorealism, who presented stories of unfortunate people considering to take actions that could take them out of their misery. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Gamma Rays (2023) EDIT “Henry Bernadet creates a series of fables about characters creating their identity, in ways that cannot be reduced to ethnic stereotypes. These adolescents are aware that they are the synthesis of social diversity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Oct 31, 2023 Full Review The Rye Horn (2023) 88% EDIT “A movie plagued by ambiguity, paradoxes, and dilemmas. ” – Cinencuentro Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Gamma Rays (2023) 100% EDIT “Without falling into moral speeches or lessons, Bernadet depicts reflective young adults. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Cinencuentro Oct 11, 2023 Full Review A Silence (2023) 81% EDIT “A silence is a movie about serial negligence and a study about how hypocrisy has assumed a public identity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 26, 2023 Full Review The Fire Within: A Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft (2022) 88% EDIT “The director, besides feeling drawn by the chaotic beauty of nature, has a profound weakness for those he identifies as equals... Those who put mortality aside to focus on the poetry that is conceived between calm and destruction. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinencuentro Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Yana-Wara (2023) EDIT “Yana-Wara is proof that cultures, no matter how diverse or unfamiliar, express universality, a point of intersection that puts them in dialogue with each other. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Cinencuentro Sep 18, 2023 Full Review
