CAMP (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “A thoughtful, subtly dangerous film which denies viewers the reassurance of a conventional ending.” – Eye for Film Apr 20, 2026 Full Review Itch! (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “The scenes of violent confrontation are relatively few, but mroe powerful for it... Kang wants us to see not just the physical effects of this, but the psychological effect on those doing harm.” – Eye for Film Apr 20, 2026 Full Review Frankie, Maniac Woman (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Tsigaridis and Silva weave comedy and tragedy together, letting each remain distinct, and in the process create a kind of discomfort that the genre rarely admits to.” – Eye for Film Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Departures (2025) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “There is plenty here for viewers to relate to, whether or not they’ve ever gone to those extremes. There’s also an ample supply of humour, with laugh-out-loud moments occurring in the bleakest situations.” – Eye for Film Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Mārama (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “One of the most impressive films of the year to date.” – Eye for Film Apr 15, 2026 Full Review PH-1 (2026) 2/4 EDIT “Though not particularly original or inspired, this is a serviceable thriller. It’s unfortunate that it has come out at a time when its central tenets are difficult to take seriously.” – Eye for Film Apr 14, 2026 Full Review The Cramps: A Period Piece (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The film’s general campiness does not diminish the points it’s making.” – Eye for Film Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Empire of Lies (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Matthew Hope's low budget thriller is a exercise in what can be achieved with just two actors, a caravan and a field.” – Eye for Film Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “A film full of finely crafted detail.” – Eye for Film Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Two Women (2025) 81% 2.5/5 EDIT “It is silly and playful, but there are times when it becomes uncomfortable.” – Eye for Film Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Night Stage (2025) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film is shot in gorgeous shades of noir by Luciana Baseggio, and has a deliciously dark, sultry score.” – Eye for Film Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Boorman and the Devil (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Boorman has an extraordinary openness about him which would make him a compelling subject even if he’d never made a film in his life.” – Eye for Film Mar 31, 2026 Full Review The Snake (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Although it’s dealing with potentially grim situations – homelessness, codependency, petty crime – the film is consistently entertaining.” – Eye for Film Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Abode (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The whole anthology feels lived-in, creating an immediate intimacy with the viewer.” – Eye for Film Mar 20, 2026 Full Review The Land of Sometimes (2025) 2/5 EDIT “In places the film feels skeletal, the bones of the story barely covered, let alone properly fleshed out.” – Eye for Film Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Crash Land (2026) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “There’s a considerable sensitivity and intelligence to this film, underlying its glorious stupidity.” – Eye for Film Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Fifteen (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Ricardo Álvarez Canales and Andrzej Rattinger’s dialogue is wonderfully observed and the two leads give lively, fresh performances which make them feel like real 14-year-old girls, looking at the world in a way most adults forget.” – Eye for Film Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Their Town (2026) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Astutely observed and sensitively performed.” – Eye for Film Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Pizza Movie (2026) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s an uneven film, emerging as a series of comedy skits before gradually melding them into a coherent story.” – Eye for Film Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Butcher's Stain (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “One of the most nuanced and heartfelt films in this year’s competition, this is, astoundingly, a début effort.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The film is a little haphazard in structure, but is anything, this is an asset, reflecting he chaotic nature of Brent and Craig’s lives.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Forevergreen (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “The bear is cute and its antics can be endearing, but at 13 minutes, the film already feels too long.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review All the Empty Rooms (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “For the most part...the rooms speak for themselves.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Jane Austen's Period Drama (2024) 3/5 EDIT “The film is superbly crafted.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review The Singers (2026) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Illuminating their faces, Davis intentionally brings out wrinkles and rough skin – the features that speak to who they are, to their unique life experiences.” – Eye for Film Mar 16, 2026 Full Review
