See all Variety Reviews from Venice Film of the film 2025 Venice below. The review will be updated throughout the festival to include the latest reviews.

‘Jay Kelly’ (dir. Noah Baumbach)

Read Variety Review: George Clooney plays a version of yourself in Noam Baambach lightly by diverting, but an excessively soft in-hollywood drama. The main character is a loved film star like Clooney … except the cold dark side, we don’t believe with it.

‘BUGONIA’ (dir. Iorgos Lanthimos)

Read Variety Review: Emma Stone and Jesse Plymonds are descending into a duel for brandy in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Obilki Topicki Thriller about kidnapping. The director is at the top of his visionary nihilistic game in the film about what happens to the world.

‘Orphen’ (dir. Laszlo Nemes)

Read Variety Review: Laszlo Nemes returns with a severe dose of sepia-toned childhood. “Son Saul” Portrait of the 12-year-old boy faced the Ugly Family Secrets of the 1950s Soviet Hungary is conveniently mounted, but narrative inert.

‘Memory’ (dir. Vladlle Sandu)

Read Variety Review: The chased memorial collage made from the child’s experience, the Ukrainian director of greatly illustrated illustrated memories of awful formed, emergency, enchanting portrait of self-replication of generational trauma.

‘La Grazia’ (dir. Paolo Sorrentino)

Read Variety inspection: Paolo Sorrentino opens the Venice Film Festival with the presidential drama reasonable than usual for him and better for it. Tony Serville Game of President Italy, which is in the shortest case it is hidden to depths.
