    The Village House (Gamak Ghar)
    The film’s still, square images feel so much like paintings that any stray movement — the smoke rising in spirals from a mosquito coil, or a palm tree swaying in the breeze — can seem like magic, a picture come to life.

    The Story Won't Die
    If Gerson’s brisk supercut style can feel frustratingly cursory at times, he chooses wisely to concede the stage to the artists — rousing scenes from concerts and recitals are the film’s highlights — rather than turn them into data points for an exhaustive account of the refugee crisis.

    Adieu Godard
    It’s a film-school pastiche of the French director’s style, with none of the forward-thinking intellectual curiosity of his movies.

    Anthem
    Where the film’s archival footage demonstrates the limits of respectability politics, Anthem ends up being overly respectable — and inevitably reductive.

    El Agua
    El Agua succeeds as a portrait of the village’s traditions, both manual and cultural, brought to life by a largely nonprofessional cast (including Pamies, a striking discovery).

    The First Year (1972)
    Guzmán’s documentary is a people’s microhistory of a nation in transition.

    Egoist
    As the film leans into melodrama, it loses both its friction and frisson, and a steaming-hot premise turns into something cold to the touch.

    Twice Colonized
    Much like its heroine, Twice Colonized is a storm of emotion and conviction.
