New on Netflix: Drive-Away Dolls, with Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Beanie Feldstein. Trashy queer crime comedy that's a hoot and a holler, says Carsten:

The visuals and action elements remain the Avatar movies’ biggest draw, and Fire and Ash is paced like a bullet train. Carsten genuinely felt engaged by most of it:

Vulcanizadora mines a depth that truly surprises, says Carsten, in his reviews of four 2025 indie features on Flaw In The Iris:

What Hamnet is really about, says Carsten — and how it raises us up from the dark emotionality of its second act — is the healing power of story and how art can offer a strange sort of afterlife:

The Secret Agent isn’t always an easy film to follow, says Carsten, but it’s never dull or incoherent as it paints a fascinating picture of a time and a place, a vivid culture full of colour, flavour, and music:

Still missed. That her death was at this time of the year softens and saddens her seasonal classic with The Pogues, “Fairytale of New York.”

What holds The Secret Agent all together is the towering lead performance by Wagner Moura as Armando. Carsten says he oozes an indefinable soulfulness, even as his motivations are occasionally opaque:

Wake Up Dead Man dips into the gothic tone of Edgar Allen Poe, says Carsten, but never sacrifices the thing that makes these films so addictive: vivid characters, humour, and wildly convoluted capers:

The Secret Agent is a deconstructed political thriller from Brazil, a rambling, rangy story set in 1977. Carsten says for much of its length it's a drama and a character study more than a thriller:

Hamnet is not a Shakespeare biopic, explains Carsten, but a distant thematic reimagining, one that cleverly takes time to play its hand leading to an astonishing finale:

When you put George Clooney front and centre, and he turns on that legendary charm, it’s hard not to get drawn into his orbit. Jay Kelly is built around that charm, says Carsten:
