All We Imagine As Light (2024) ///
Immaculate (2024) Solid ecclesiastical horror take time to establish plot and theme as innocent Sydney Sweeney joins rural Italian convent and finds she's miraculously pregnant. Plainly detailed atmosphere benefits from elegantly ominous soundtrack yet remains detached until bruising final scenes.
Daeum Sohee (Next Sohee) (2023) Infused with a quiet artistry, cold approach details pressure on teen student Kim Si-eun to achieve in dehumanising call center, while story's second half follows detective Bae Doona's investigation into her death. Lack of culpability provokes despair at modern society's blunt focus on financial worth.
Alpha (2026) Brash thrills benefit from throwaway ease and bright physicality of leads Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, militarily enhanced and estranged sisters, fighting and bonding as violent national threat is revealed. Even as narrative logic crumbles, pacing matches bluntly bruising action.
No One Gets Out Alive (2021) Moody threat contaminates bleakly shadowed Cleveland house where undocumented, desperate Cristina Rodlo finds cheap lodgings and ominous landlord brothers. Simmering immigrant abuse underpins final creature horror though scares remain low key.
Alien Covenant (2019) Designed with cold precision and violent set pieces, colony ship is diverted to uncharted, habitable planet despite unease of science officer Katherine Waterston. No surprises for what crew discover or that Michael Fassbender's elusive android is untrustworthy. Low on energy and suspense.
Crew (2024) Meandering narrative flips through social pressures and personal grievances as flight attendants Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon take on gold smuggling and Abu Dhabi heist. Light tension and broad humour weaves through uneven staging and time shifts. Appealing leads sustain involvement..
All We Imagine As Light (2024) Beguiling mix of naturalistic social observation and personal relationship melodrama centres on contrasting nurses Kani Kusruti and Divya Prabha, embracing friendship and facing prejudices. Relief from urban suffocation to beach community tenderly frees emotions.
