Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “A disturbing psychological fable anchored by Anson Boon's gripping, transformative performance, Good Boy unpacks the thin line between reform and abuse, even if its final act loses some of its unsettling precision.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Thrash (2026) 43% 5/10 EDIT “A messy, low-stakes shark thriller that rarely thrills, but its sheer absurdity makes it mildly entertaining.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 9% 2/10 EDIT “A lifeless thriller that wastes its premise with flat characters, weak tension, and a payoff that feels utterly pointless.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 86% 6/10 EDIT “A visually striking dark fable with strong performances, though its intriguing themes never fully reach their emotional or narrative potential.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 78% 7/10 EDIT “A sharp, unsettling essay on intimacy and truth, elevated by Pattinson’s restraint, though Borgli’s calculated style keeps viewers at a distance.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 7/10 EDIT “Chaotic, excessive and strangely compelling—Verbinski delivers a messy but energetic satire on AI and digital culture, elevated by Sam Rockwell’s magnetic performance despite its lack of focus.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Perro Perro (2025) 7/10 EDIT “A strange, daring and quietly unsettling fable—Berger trades erotic tension for absurdist reflection, crafting his most philosophical and risky film yet, elevated by Juan Ramos’ fearless physical performance.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (2025) 85% 7/10 EDIT “A haunting blend of coming-of-age drama and psychological horror, elevated by strong atmosphere and a compelling lead performance. Uneven at times, but its unsettling tone and thematic ambition leave a lasting impact.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Giant Falls (2026) 5/10 EDIT “A well-intentioned but overly didactic drama that leans too heavily on dialogue instead of emotion. Strong performances, especially Oscar Martínez, bring moments of truth to an otherwise predictable and uneven story.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 18, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 6/10 EDIT “A visceral and grotesque reimagining that prioritizes shock over story. Uneven but undeniably intense, it delivers brutal horror even if it loses its identity along the way.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 16, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 7/10 EDIT “A chilling coming-of-age drama that turns bullying into psychological horror. Uneven at times, but its atmosphere and emotional tension linger long after it ends.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 11, 2026 Full Review Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) 98% 8/10 EDIT “A haunting, visually striking documentary that prioritizes mood over narrative. Rosi crafts a hypnotic experience, though its slow pace and abstract approach may not resonate with all viewers.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 11, 2026 Full Review Watching Mr. Pearson (2026) 6/10 EDIT “A tender, restrained drama elevated by Hugo Armstrong’s performance. While its subtle approach sometimes limits its emotional impact, it offers a sincere and human look at memory, identity, and connection.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 11, 2026 Full Review Pretty Lethal (2026) 57% 6/10 EDIT “A stylish, kinetic blend of ballet and brutality that favors movement over depth. Pretty Lethal may be narratively thin, but its inventive choreography and playful tone make it a surprisingly fun action ride.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 6/10 EDIT “A stylish, fast-paced genre mashup, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice delivers fun and heart—Vince Vaughn shines in a chaotic but surprisingly emotional ride through crime, love, and second chances.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 4, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 4/10 EDIT “A stylish but hollow dark comedy, How to Make a Killing never finds its bite—despite a fun premise and a sharp Qualley, it settles for safe cynicism over true menace or wit.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 3, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 43% 3/10 EDIT “A visually busy but narratively weightless sequel, Super Mario Galaxy trades story for spectacle—fun for fans, but ultimately a hollow ride through space with little to hold onto.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 3, 2026 Full Review 53 Sundays (2026) 7/10 EDIT “A sharp, dialogue-driven family dramedy that thrives on discomfort and emotional avoidance. Modest in scope but honest in its portrayal of fractured relationships, elevated by strong performances—especially Javier Cámara.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Always Winter (2025) 5/10 EDIT “A tender and introspective take on heartbreak, elevated by David Verdaguer’s subtle performance, but its restrained storytelling and emotional distance keep it from fully resonating.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Agent Zeta (2026) 5/10 EDIT “A slick, globe-trotting spy thriller with strong action set pieces and a compelling lead performance from Mario Casas, but ultimately weighed down by an overexplained script and underdeveloped themes that keep it from reaching its full potential.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 30, 2026 Full Review The Ice Tower (2025) 80% 7/10 EDIT “A hypnotic, visually stunning reimagining of a classic tale—enigmatic, haunting, and driven by two mesmerizing performances.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 29, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 8/10 EDIT “A chilling, media-savvy thriller anchored by Bill Skarsgård’s magnetic performance—smart, unsettling, and deeply resonant.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 80% 6/10 EDIT “A slick, fast-moving creature feature that knows exactly what it is—light on depth but packed with energy, charm, and just enough bite to keep it fun.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 28, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 5/10 EDIT “A stylish, blood-soaked ride that starts strong but collapses under its own excess—fun in bursts, but ultimately more noise than substance.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 5/10 EDIT “A louder, bloodier sequel that expands the world but loses the bite—entertaining enough, yet far less sharp than the original.” – Algo Más Que Cine Mar 28, 2026 Full Review
