The most unsettling images in “Everest: The Other Side” are not the avalanches or the endless walls of ice. They are the quiet moments before the climb, when Jim Morrison prepares to continue a dream that belonged to him and Hilaree Nelson. The documentary understands that a mountain expedition can carry emotional weight long before anyone reaches the summit. Directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, the film follows Morrison’s attempt to climb Everest’s North Face and ski back down the Chinese side, a feat no one had completed before. The challenge already carries historic significance, yet the story...

The most revealing images in Lomu are not the ones where Jonah Lomu tears through defenders. They are the quieter frames surrounding those moments: a young man caught between inherited traditions, public expectation and a body that would eventually betray him. Directors Gavin Fitzgerald and Vea Mafile’o approach their subject as a figure shaped by competing forces, using four chapters marked by Tongan proverbs to examine a life that could never be contained by a rugby field. The documentary understands the danger of turning an athlete into a monument. Monuments are clean. Lomu was not. He was a Tongan son...

Basketball has always traveled well. The NBA is an American league with a worldwide language, where a teenager in Manila, a fan in Milan, or a player in Madrid can recognize the same movement, the same stars, and the same dream. NBA 2K27 understands that international appeal through its strongest feature: the feeling of actually playing basketball. Visual Concepts has focused its attention on the part of the series that connects every audience, the five players on the court. The result is a game that feels closer to the real sport through improved movement, stronger defense, and more recognizable player...

The Messiah understands that childhood does not disappear when people grow older. It remains inside the rooms where it happened, inside the songs that were forced upon them, inside the names they were given and later tried to abandon. Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo’s seven-episode Spanish series transforms a story of religious obsession and family damage into something stranger: a dreamlike wound that keeps reopening. The series begins its emotional movement from the present, where Enric and Irene discover that their six younger sisters have become Stella Maris, a religious pop group whose homemade videos have spread across the internet....

The strongest decision The Gentlemen Season 2 makes is also the one that creates its biggest structural problem. By turning Eddie Horniman from a reluctant aristocrat trapped in a criminal operation into someone actively chasing power, the series finds a more interesting protagonist. The cost is losing the partnership that gave the first season its rhythm. Eddie’s transformation is the season’s main story engine. After discovering that his family estate could survive through the hidden cannabis business beneath Halstead Manor, Eddie no longer wants an exit strategy. He wants control. The Duke of Halstead has tasted influence, and now he...

Chronovisor understands that mystery is created as much by what remains hidden as by what is revealed. Kevin Walker and Jack Auen’s debut feature builds its tension around a machine that supposedly allows humanity to witness history itself, yet the film’s real unease comes from the spaces around that knowledge: the empty libraries, the darkened rooms, the silent moments when a person realizes they have gone too far. Béatrice Courte (Anne-Laure Sellier), a philosophy professor in New York, discovers the story of Pellegrino Ernetti, a Benedictine priest who claimed to have created a device capable of observing the past. Her...
