Matthew Turner Next Best Picture “Olmo” is a bittersweet little gem from this year’s Berlinale. It’s a beautifully directed and acted coming-of-age story that deserves to find a wider audience. Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait another twelve years for Eimbcke’s next film. Rated: 8/10 Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Eimbcke continues a longstanding tradition of creating a space of his own separate from time, making a series of events that unfolds in a day really feeling as if it’ll last forever in the minds of its characters.
