really amused by these "other movies like" selections on Filipiñana all being slow contemporary arthouse films mostly about oppression...except for the 2005 Bill Paxton-directed golf biopic The Greatest Game Ever Played because Filipiñana happens to involve a golf course

#LIFF2026 Film 13 - Filipiñana: Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I got a lot out of this one. Very stylish, and reinforces one of the fundamental laws of the Universe: Golf is for wankers.

Okay, “one of 2026’s best” is a pretty serious endorsement. Adding FILIPIÑANA to the watchlist before the year gets away from me.

FILIPIÑANA: Rafael Manuel’s magnificent, measured feature debut is a quiet knockout of a picture. Seen it twice & have determined it's the best discovery of the fest with a flooring final scene that'll stick with me forever 📽️

FILIPIÑANA 🇵🇭 Pretty austere – if I'd been watching this at home on TV, I’d have been bored and checked my phone. Yet, I really liked this. Underratedly funny. The main thesis of the film is that private golf courses are a profoundly evil way of using land, so it's right about that. ★★★★ #LIFF2026
