‘Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger’ Review: An Uncharacteristically Polite and Sentimental Portrait of a Raucous Band and Phenomenon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shot during the Mancunian band’s 2025 reunion tour, Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace's documentary features impressive concert footage interrupted by clumsy attempts at earnestness. The 2016 documentary “Supersonic,” focused on Oasis’ beginnings and incredibly fast rise to superstardom, made no mention of what was then the most salient fact about the Gallagher brothers: that from 2009, they were no longer on speaking terms. Ten years after that Asif Kapadia-produced doc, the concert film “Oasis:
‘Incinerator’ Review: Award-Winning Japanese Portrait of a Teenage Loner Is Gentle to a Fault (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Winner of the Jury Prize in Karlovy Vary's Proxima competition, director Shuntaro Uchida's coming-of-age tale dulls the edges of its intriguing central protagonist. Observing a seemingly ordinary world through the lens of teenhood can be a goldmine for filmmakers. From the perspective of young people who often feel awkward and out of place, common dynamics can look strange, while unexpected connections seem like the most natural thing in the world. Shuntaro Uchida’s “Incinerator”, which won the
‘The Lion at My Back’ Review: An Asylum Seeker and a Former Drug Addict Face the World in Different Ways in a Promising but Pat Redemption Tale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently premiered in Karlovy Vary, this drama from Cypriot director Tonia Mishiali is at its best when it doesn’t force its poetry. Juxtaposing the story of a young asylum seeker with that of a former drug addict, “The Lion at My Back” highlights the way in which perceived hierarchies of suffering feel somewhat irrelevant on an individual level. Or, rather, that they should: Everyone has more to gain in looking for similarities than in emphasizing difference. Presented in the Crystal Globe com
‘Five Years, Four Months’ Review: Moving Portrait of a Grieving Colombian Mother Demonstrates an Impressive Control of Tension (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The second feature from directing duo Juan Miguel Gelacio and Esteban Hoyos García centres on a Colombian mother searching for her son, years after he was “forcibly disappeared.” Thousands of people in Colombia have been “forcibly disappeared”, as the euphemistic expression goes, since conflicts began in the mid-1960s between the Colombian government and various paramilitary and guerilla groups. This reality is well-known, and has been so for a while — an awareness that, over such a long period
‘A Happy Family’ Review: Anna Schinz’s Powerful Lead Performance Elevates a Confused Custody Drama (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Swiss director Jan-Eric Mack's Karlovy Vary competition entry follows a working single mother at odds with child protection services. There is a more interesting story lurking within Jan-Eric Mack’s “A Happy Family” than the one actually being told. At times, the Swiss filmmaker teases the possibility that the conventional narrative shown thus far might break into a bold, daring twist. It’s a promise unfulfilled, however, and those glimpses of something thornier and more daring ultimately come
