Latest Film Reviews

  • Fatherland (2026)
    Review preview for Fatherland

    The way Zischler and Hüller play their relationship is so wonderfully real and subtle and appropriately opaque for all us non-Mann family members, that it at times brought tears to my eyes.

    Drama focusing on Thomas Mann's post-war life, as he and his daughter embark on a road-trip across Germany.

    Historical drama set against a backdrop of Vichy France as a man strives to help France's renewal.
  • La Gioia (2025)
    Review preview for La Gioia

    This is a movie layered with meaning. A lipstick smudge turns into stigmata, a kiss can make you float and strangle you at the same time.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 5 out of 5
    Gioia is a high school teacher who has never known love beyond the suffocating grip of her parents, with whom she still lives. Her life shifts when she encounters Alessio, a student who uses his body as a means to get a few hundred euros to help his struggling mother.
  • Duse (2025)
    Review preview for Duse

    Duse is as much about the rise of fascism as it is about the decision making of an artist at a precarious time in her life.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 5 out of 5
    Eleonora Duse’s legendary career seems over, but in the ferocious times between the Great War and the rise of fascism, the Divina feels a call stronger than any resignation and returns to where her life began: on stage.
  • Late Fame (2025)
    Review preview for Late Fame

    Burch and Jones clearly enjoy updating rich kid Myers and his literary salon pals to the present without ever falling into clownish cliché.

  • Sound Of Falling (2025)
    Review preview for Sound Of Falling

    The lives mirror each other, build on each other, contradict each other, haunt each other.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 5 out of 5
    Four girls, Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Lenka, each spend their youth on the same farm in northern Germany. As the home evolves over a century, echoes of the past linger in its walls. Though separated by time, their lives begin to mirror each other.
  • Mirrors No.3 (2025)
    Review preview for Mirrors No.3

    As is true of many a tale, not all motivations are on the table right away, and finding rescue and respite with strangers can only last a mere while.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 5 out of 5
    On a weekend trip to the countryside, Laura miraculously survives a car crash. Physically unhurt but deeply shaken, she is taken in by a local woman who witnessed the accident and now cares for Laura with motherly devotion. When her husband and adult son also give up their initial resistance to Laura's presence, the four of them slowly build up some family-like routine. But soon they can no longer ignore their past...

  • The Secret Agent (2025)
    Review preview for The Secret Agent

    Marcelo is at home in the fine tradition of flicks where the fact that they are an agent is mainly a secret to them.

    Anne-Katrin Titze · 4.5 out of 5

    Like the protagonist we are swept up by a wave of questions about aviation and identity and the unbearable heaviness of memory.
