The real stars are camerawork.
“Fishing area”
Director Rob Tregenza's WWII drama follows Anna (Ellen Dorit Petersen), who is charged by a Nazi officer for spying on a priest.
From our review:
The most interesting person in “fishing spots” is, as you can tell, Tregenza continues to pay attention to camerawork throughout the film. Anything adjacent to hieroglyphs. His touch is evident from the beginning with the eerie image of what appears to be a ghost fishing boat drifting in the water, amongst the mist-wrapped boards of the sea.

A folk horror-like drama.
“Armand”
After her six-year-old son does something unsettling with his classmates, Elizabeth (Renate Reigns) is a series of things at his school in this claustrophobic drama written and directed by Halfdan Ullman Tondel. You have to navigate the tense meeting.
From our review:
“Armand” feels mostly like an interesting formal exercise. In a way that evokes the most important, rather than the most important, ancient fear, of places that seek to blend realism with surrealism. It's a bit easy to see how the piece slots in a story can come together to create that story. And there's too little insight to make it all worthwhile.

Beauty is a beast.
“Parthenop”
Director Paolo Sorrentino's dream drama follows Parthenop (Celeste Dara Porta), a young woman who is helped and hampered by her beauty.
From our review:
This is the first film of Sorrentino, whose main character is a female, and the portrait is essentially limited and often dull, as he is interested in deifying Parthenop than humanizing her. is. The gorgeousness on display, coupled with the film's sloppy visual style, gives you a sense of anesthesia.

A pregnancy comedy that never reaches you.
“A little pregnant”
With je's suitability, spurred by the announcement of her best friend's pregnancy, Rainey (Amy Schumer) fakes her pregnancy and meets the man of her dreams in this comedy directed by Tyler Spindel .
From our review:
Most terrible, the “slightly pregnant” world is filled with drugs and despairing women who have parents or other suffering that create a mine of comedic land. Will Forte, who plays Deus Ex Man-Child, stops real chemistry with Schumer with some funny lines. However, this is a film that is less interested in relationships than miscellaneous items, from balloons to rotisserie chicken.

Flocks of sheep lock the horns.
“Defeat them”
Christopher Abbott and Barry Keogan are bloody in this stern drama written and directed by Christopher Andrews.
From our review:
This portrait of already injured people can't stop suffering on themselves, and they have great integrity to each other. But if you are looking for noble emotions, you will do well to see elsewhere.

It's a bad day.
“Eyes of the Heart”
On Valentine's Day, the masked killer hunts a happy couple in a mashup of the genre directed by Josh Reuben and starring Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding.
From our review:
It's difficult to identify who the film is. It's Valentine's Day themed, but the rom-com crowd probably won't last long with monsters that plunge the machete into their bodies. Horror fans have seen many of the previously adopted thrasher conventions, with much more novelty and purpose. The comedy is Nebraska: wide and flat.

It's worse than a bad heartbreak.
“Love hurts”
The former hitman (Ke Huy Quan) is brought back into the world of violence on Valentine's Day, when he reunites with his old crime partner (Ariana Debose).
From our review:
“Love Hurts” is Jonathan Eusebio's special directorial debut. He has accumulated an eye-opening list of combined stunts and fight credits (“John Wick”, “Resurrection of the Matrix”). In effect, he plays that role here too. Because there is little to be directed. The plot is a random incident thread designed to tie Quan together, a random incident thread designed to expel his own ideas of past play data, “The Goonies” is a martial arts thread. It shows an impressive facility.
