‘It Follows’: A Minimalist 80’s Scarefest

‘Código Paz’: No Place for the Elderly
An energetic achievement in Dominican action cinema that unfortunately offers little innovation to its genre
‘El Pelotudo’: A Funny Existential Dilemma
An offensive, uneven comedy that nevertheless offers a weird good time
‘La Extraña’ (The Stranger): A Tropical ‘Noir’ Miss
A weird and entertaining thriller that never really clicks but does call attention to its source material
‘La Jaula de Oro’ (The Golden Dream): Visual Poetry
