Mortal Kombat II (2026) 68% 4/10 EDIT “More fights, more blood, and somehow less impact. Mortal Kombat II delivers spectacle but forgets the basics: story, tension, and characters. Not a flawless victory—just a noisy, hollow sequel.” – Algo Más Que Cine May 6, 2026 Full Review Endless Cookie (2025) 91% 7/10 EDIT “A chaotic yet heartfelt blend of animation and documentary, Endless Cookie turns messy storytelling into something deeply personal, warm, and unexpectedly profound.” – Algo Más Que Cine May 3, 2026 Full Review Decorado (2025) 7/10 EDIT “A muddled, self-indulgent satire that never finds its bite, Outcome wastes its cast and ideas in a dull, aimless story that feels far longer than it is.” – Algo Más Que Cine May 3, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% 5/10 EDIT “A slick but hollow survival thriller, Apex delivers tension and strong visuals but feels overly familiar, never rising above its predictable, by-the-numbers story.” – Algo Más Que Cine May 2, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 28% 2/10 EDIT “A muddled, self-indulgent satire that never finds its bite, Outcome wastes its cast and ideas in a dull, aimless story that feels far longer than it is.” – Algo Más Que Cine May 2, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 88% 8/10 EDIT “A chilling and emotionally grounded ghost story—Damian McCarthy refines his signature style, blending atmosphere, sharp scares, and a surprising depth that elevates Hokum beyond standard horror fare.” – Algo Más Que Cine May 1, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 7/10 EDIT “A glossy, nostalgic sequel that plays it safe—charming and stylish, with Emily Blunt stealing the show, but ultimately too reliant on repeating the magic of the original without fully evolving it.” – Algo Más Que Cine May 1, 2026 Full Review The Stranger (2025) 90% 8/10 EDIT “A masterclass in existential cinema. Ozon’s "The Stranger" uses stunning B&W to capture Meursault’s haunting indifference. Voisin is brilliant, portraying a man judged more for his lack of tears than his crime. A timely, provocative masterpiece.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 27, 2026 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 98% 7/10 EDIT “A vibrant and deeply moving debut. Davies Jr. captures the 1993 Nigerian crisis through a child's curious lens, turning a family reunion into a poetic study of absence and political collapse. Sope Dirisu shines in this hauntingly beautiful film.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 26, 2026 Full Review Wardriver (2026) 100% 6/10 EDIT “A grounded, atmospheric thriller that prioritizes character over spectacle. Dane DeHaan’s haunting, weary performance anchors the film, elevating a familiar neo-noir plot. While it lacks depth in its villains, it's a solid ride.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 26, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% 7/10 EDIT “A visceral, razor-sharp prison drama. While it hits familiar beats, Wasteman soars on the back of David Jonsson’s soulful resilience and Tom Blyth’s volatile energy. McMau’s debut is a brutal, claustrophobic masterclass in tension and survival.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 26, 2026 Full Review Atropia (2025) 41% 4/10 EDIT “An ambitious but uneven debut. While Shawkat and Turner provide genuine spark, Gates’ satire gets lost in its own desert. It captures the bizarre details of military simulations but fails to land its political punches, feeling hollow by the end.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 25, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 4/10 EDIT “More PR than cinema. Fuqua delivers a polished hagiography that celebrates the myth but ignores the man. Jaafar Jackson’s mimicry is stunning, but Logan’s script is a shallow "Wikipedia biopic" that lacks depth, nuance, and the courage to face the truth.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “A disturbing psychological fable anchored by Anson Boon's gripping, transformative performance, Good Boy unpacks the thin line between reform and abuse, even if its final act loses some of its unsettling precision.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Thrash (2026) 43% 5/10 EDIT “A messy, low-stakes shark thriller that rarely thrills, but its sheer absurdity makes it mildly entertaining.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 9% 2/10 EDIT “A lifeless thriller that wastes its premise with flat characters, weak tension, and a payoff that feels utterly pointless.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 6/10 EDIT “A visually striking dark fable with strong performances, though its intriguing themes never fully reach their emotional or narrative potential.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 7/10 EDIT “A sharp, unsettling essay on intimacy and truth, elevated by Pattinson’s restraint, though Borgli’s calculated style keeps viewers at a distance.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Chaotic, excessive and strangely compelling—Verbinski delivers a messy but energetic satire on AI and digital culture, elevated by Sam Rockwell’s magnetic performance despite its lack of focus.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Perro Perro (2025) 7/10 EDIT “A strange, daring and quietly unsettling fable—Berger trades erotic tension for absurdist reflection, crafting his most philosophical and risky film yet, elevated by Juan Ramos’ fearless physical performance.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (2025) 85% 7/10 EDIT “A haunting blend of coming-of-age drama and psychological horror, elevated by strong atmosphere and a compelling lead performance. Uneven at times, but its unsettling tone and thematic ambition leave a lasting impact.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Giant Falls (2026) 5/10 EDIT “A well-intentioned but overly didactic drama that leans too heavily on dialogue instead of emotion. Strong performances, especially Oscar Martínez, bring moments of truth to an otherwise predictable and uneven story.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 18, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 6/10 EDIT “A visceral and grotesque reimagining that prioritizes shock over story. Uneven but undeniably intense, it delivers brutal horror even if it loses its identity along the way.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 16, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 7/10 EDIT “A chilling coming-of-age drama that turns bullying into psychological horror. Uneven at times, but its atmosphere and emotional tension linger long after it ends.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 11, 2026 Full Review Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) 98% 8/10 EDIT “A haunting, visually striking documentary that prioritizes mood over narrative. Rosi crafts a hypnotic experience, though its slow pace and abstract approach may not resonate with all viewers.” – Algo Más Que Cine Apr 11, 2026 Full Review
