Hoppers
(2026)
|
Roberto Tyler Ortiz
|
Hoppers is inventive, genuinely funny, visually rich, and far more emotionally resonant than its premise would suggest. [...] It’s hard to imagine anyone not coming out of this energized, surprised, and already wanting to revisit its world.

Melancholia
(2011)
|
Joe Flockhart
|
Its critics are quick to call it ‘slow’, ‘boring’ and ‘self-indulgent’ but I found it enthralling. The performances are outstanding and its depiction of depression is almost unprecedented in cinema in its rawness.
