1.5/4
Newborn (2026) Robert Daniels [Newborn] becomes caught in between two modes of storytelling: the weighty drama and the destabilizing thriller. One wishes then that Parker either fully embraced his film’s genre or didn’t approach it at all

3.5/4
The Travel Companion (2025) Nell Minow It draws us in with acutely observed details and relatable characters that portray universal conflicts, all with nuance and good humor.

3.5/4
ChaO (2025) Simon Abrams The most enchanting thing about 'ChaO’ isn’t necessarily its hyperpoptimism, but the many little ways in which its breezy and arresting style reflects its creators’ lightly held Utopianism.

You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Nell Minow Like Zuccotto, Tuscany’s legendary whipped cream and chocolate dessert, it may not be nutritious, but it tastes very good.

Hamlet (2025) Sheila O'Malley Seeing him look wildly around the room for a friend, a confidante, someone who might understand, is a relentless reminder of this material’s universality and why we will never tire of it.

Beast (2026) Simon Abrams This is the kind of movie that will play forever on basic cable, and you’ll sit down and wonder why there isn’t more like it.

1.5/4
Thrash (2026) Brian Tallerico Its worst sin isn’t its stupid characters doing stupid things; it’s that the whole thing feels remarkably lazy, failing to find any tension or even B-movie thrills.

2.5/4
Outcome (2026) Matt Zoller Seitz There’s no denying Hill’s instinct for identifying the heart of a dramatic scene and turning the volume of the storytelling down low enough for us to hear it beating.

2.5/4
Exit 8 (2025) Brian Tallerico Still, there’s just enough for fans of the game or modern horror to chew on. If you wait to see it until PVOD or streaming, try watching it on a subway train on your way to work for maximum impact.

Bunnylovr (2025) Clint Worthington We could go deeper, but instead we choose to skim the surface. It’s a glossy, moody surface, mind, but surface nonetheless.

3/4
Faces of Death (2026) Brian Tallerico It becomes a heady swirl of themes and ideas: the moderator of the online age fighting back against what this dark time has birthed.

3/4
The Christophers (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz Simple pleasures like these are why movies were created.
Posted Apr 09, 2026Edit critic review
The Shitheads (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a clever flick with an undercurrent of social commentary about how the bar for just being considered worthwhile in this world can depend on the size of your inheritance.

3/4
Lumière! The Adventure Continues (2024) Matt Zoller Seitz The audio portion of the experience pales in comparison to the visual, but the images are more than enough reason to put this movie in front of you and stare at it.
Posted Apr 03, 2026Edit critic review
Drift (2026) Zachary Lee We may not express ourselves or deal with our pain through scaling buildings, but there’s something undeniably cathartic and powerful about witnessing someone who feels shackled by life finally get their wings.
Posted Apr 03, 2026Edit critic review
Stormbound (2026) Brian Tallerico The power of a storm can be breathtaking on its own. The movie didn’t need to add so much to try to make it so.
Posted Apr 03, 2026Edit critic review
My Brother's Killer (2026) Brian Tallerico It often struggles with over-direction, but it undeniably tells a powerful story that still resonates today.
Posted Apr 03, 2026Edit critic review
Cornbread Mafia (2026) Brian Tallerico There are aspects of the film that feels a bit underdeveloped, but it maintains a consistent tone in a way that makes it never boring.
Posted Apr 03, 2026Edit critic review
The Dads (2026) Brian Tallerico Seeing the men and their children speak in June 2024 about their hope for the future when the Democrats are re-elected to the White House has a bitter poignancy.
Posted Apr 03, 2026Edit critic review
Adam's Apple (2026) Brian Tallerico It also becomes a document of parenthood and growth that’s often not about being young and trans as much as it is the universal blend of pride and grief that comes with saying goodbye to a child. I

American Dollhouse (2026) Brian Tallerico The leads commit fully but Valley the writer often doesn’t give them enough to hold onto, making them dolls in his own under-furnished house.

3.5/4
Living the Land (2025) Sheila O'Malley The film is deeply mournful, but also pierced with joy.

Yes (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz It’s worth seeing and arguing about. Even if you end up hating it, there are moments you’ll never forget.

4/4
The Stranger (2025) Glenn Kenny Make no mistake: this is a horror film; as you stare at the screen, the abyss it represents stares back at you.

1.5/4
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Clint Worthington It's cute, and breezy, and rock-stupid, and will probably make a billion dollars again. Such is the world in which we live.

1.5/4
The Drama (2026) Robert Daniels What gives this glib, circuitous film the right to persecute the apathetic when it barely understands its own characters?
Posted Mar 31, 2026Edit critic review
Serling (2026) Brian Tallerico Ultimately, ‘Serling’ will work best for fans of its subject.
Posted Mar 30, 2026Edit critic review
3/4
Fantasy Life (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz The top-to-bottom cast of proudly eccentric actors ... ensures that every scene has moments of truth, and the filmmaker’s empathy pushes the movie over the finish line.
Posted Mar 30, 2026Edit critic review
A Magnificent Life (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz Chomet’s gift for deftly caricatured faces, expressive movement, and clever compositions hasn’t deserted him, and there are many flat-out beautiful bits scattered throughout, but this is altogether a work that’s best appreciated with the sound off.
Posted Mar 27, 2026Edit critic review
3/4
She Dances (2025) Marya E. Gates It’s an intricate web of relationships, and the film’s script is at its sharpest when it traces the reverberations of death and their many aftershocks.
Posted Mar 27, 2026Edit critic review
1.5/4
Alpha (2025) Katie Rife At times, 'Alpha’ plays like a Cronenbergian after-school special, in which the visual metaphors are overplayed, and the drama is broadly sketched to teach a moral lesson.
Posted Mar 27, 2026Edit critic review
3/4
Kontinental '25 (2025) Glenn Kenny While this film is often funny, its ultimate bit of wisdom, from the New Testament, is dark and undeniable: "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

2/4
Holy Days (2026) Sheila O'Malley As someone with two nuns in my family, I do not find the mere existence of nuns living their lives in the modern world inherently humorous.

John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office (2025) Clint Worthington Even as it grows monotonous, its consistent tone is hypnotic in its own way.

Palestine '36 (2025) Carlos Aguilar That a traditionally realized historical drama with impeccable production value and consistently effective performances centers the Palestinian perspective makes for an essential endeavor.

Marc by Sofia (2025) Nell Minow We might not come away understanding Jacobs or his world better, but we can still enjoy spending time with him.
Posted Mar 25, 2026Edit critic review
3.5/4
Esta Isla (2025) Robert Daniels Visually evocative and uniquely conceived, Cristian Carretero and Lorraine Jones’s “Esta Isla” (“This Island”) is a lovers-on-the-run narrative unafraid to pause for emotional and thematic effect.
Posted Mar 25, 2026Edit critic review
Drag (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a movie that starts with a clever conceit but devolves into something so brutal and downright mean that it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
DreamQuil (2026) Brian Tallerico What would you do if you were replaced by an AI version of yourself? These are questions at the core of this 'Black Mirror' premise, but Prager doesn’t add enough new to the conversation.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Never After Dark (2026) Brian Tallerico Hoshi’s deeply present, engaged performance is one of the main reasons 'Never After Dark’ works so well, but it’s also an undeniably well-made piece of horror filmmaking in terms of craft.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Brian (2026) Brian Tallerico We may not all be able to see ourselves in the quirky Brian, but it’s the film’s desire to be specific instead of some idea of universal that makes it work.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Seekers of Infinite Love (2026) Brian Tallerico Clearly, this ensemble knows how to sell a broad comedy that features pit stops at a fat camp and a car chase after a child is kidnapped, but they can’t push through the sitcomish nature of the overall script enough to sell it.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Basic (2026) Brian Tallerico The first half can feel a little thin, and the whole thing relies way too much on voiceover, but that falls away with Meester and Park’s comic chemistry as two very different women who discover their common ground.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Love Language (2026) Zachary Lee While the film often tries to make grandiose statements about love and relationships at the expense of fully formed characters, it takes the angst and wrestling of the people in this story seriously.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
The Fox (2026) Zachary Lee It’s inventive in its savagery, almost always perturbing, but succeeds at the kind of absurd genre blend that made Yorgos Lanthimos a household name.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Crash Land (2026) Zachary Lee It celebrates how we grow in and out of relationships, and that sometimes moving on from people isn’t indicative of our immaturity but a sign that we’re growing and changing.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Grind (2026) Zachary Lee It may not be perfect, but it acts as a pulpy wake-up call to wake us up from our doom-scroll-induced slumber.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Campeón Gabacho (2026) Zachary Lee There’s much to trade blows at in the world and much to solve behind anger and fists. 'Campeón Gabacho’ gives space for our anger and hope, saying both are needed if we are to survive this world.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
Beast Race (2026) Zachary Lee If you are interested in seeing dynamic set pieces, it will deliver, but the story in between never feels compelling enough for one to want to stick around.
Posted Mar 24, 2026Edit critic review
3/4
Dead Lover (2025) Katie Rife It’s an absurd film, but also a romantic and quietly radical one.
