FlixChatter Review: The Secret Agent (2025) – A tense, vivid and surreal journey during Brazil’s ‘time of mischief’ with the magnetic Wagner Moura

When I first saw the trailer of The Secret Agent, I immediately thought of I’m Still Here, one of my favorite films of 2024, as both deal with the country's 2-decade military dictatorship. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end, as they vary greatly in terms of tone, style, and messages. Written and directed …

FlixChatter Review: The Mastermind (2025) – Josh O’Connor is perfectly cast in Kelly Reichardt’s slow, minimalist heist film

2025 is really Josh O’Connor’s year, and it’s all the better for it. This is the third film I saw where he has a leading or prominent role, and I might try to catch The History Of Sound, where he’s a co-lead with Paul Mescal. Those who are still unfamiliar with the English actor apart …
