Trauma, insecurity, and grief are among the themes you can find among the five films vying for the 2025 Best Animated Short Film Oscar.

Sniper Elite: Resistance takes the premiere Nazi-sniping series to occupied France but brings little else that is new to the series.

Zenshu Episode 4 is another entertaining episode that does a good job of highlighting one of its main characters in a way that gives them more depth.

Train Dreams (2025) is a gorgeous story of love and loss and, ultimately, just about life with Joel Edgerton as it’s intimate center.

Love Scout Episodes 7-8 poke fun at the hilarity and drama workplace romances can bring while also exploring the complexities of love.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 Episode 3 primarily covers how some humans and spirits deal with the information of Nene’s impending grim fate.

Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 4 eschews action for plot development, pushing Jin-woo’s story without any surprising elements.

When The Stars Gossip Episode 8 takes the stress we were left off with at the end of Episode 7 and runs full steam ahead with it.

 Rabbit Trap (2025) is a folk horror story that deals more with discomfort than with scares and loses itself in style over substance.

With the next episode posed to be emotional, When The Stars Gossip Episode 7 earns good grace for its impactful second half.
