Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 86% 6/10 EDIT “While AI might make for an easy scapegoat in 2026, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die also gives the audience a great look at how strange a world based on the technology could look. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Wicker (2026) 95% 9/10 EDIT “In many ways, Wicker feels like medieval Edward Scissorhands, with every frame bursting to life with artistic brilliance. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 11, 2026 Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 88% 9/10 EDIT “With plenty of humor and showcase performances from Wilde and Hoffman, Gregg Araki makes an incredible return to cinema. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Hanging by a Wire (2026) 88% 7/10 EDIT “Navqi builds an exciting documentary, even if it feels overly familiar at times. It's still an excellent experience and makes you feel the death-defying heroism in the process. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 9, 2026 Full Review American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (2026) 100% 6/10 EDIT “There’s an unabashed celebration of Chicano culture on stage and screen, allowing American Pachuco to also serve as an important text in exploring the cultural context of Valdez's work. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Best Summer (2026) 91% 8/10 EDIT “The legendary moments (including a "Sabotage" performance for the ages) are so much fun that I could not help but feel pure joy watching The Best Summer.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Joybubbles (2026) 82% 7/10 EDIT “Joybubbles is a cute documentary and covers a unique era of communication that will feel foreign to anyone under 30. It’s also an uplifting experience, one that should help reconnect those with the enigmatic man. ” – InSession Film Feb 6, 2026 Full Review The Shitheads (2026) 73% 8/10 EDIT “Ultimately, a road trip comedy and drug comedy first, The Shitheads still manages to craft some heart. You’ll root for two idiots that belong in a Carl Hiaasen book, and you’ll laugh step of the way. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Bedford Park (2026) 96% 6/10 EDIT “While Bedford Park has some genuinely brilliant ideas, particularly around what we owe our parents as the children of immigrants, the result is a slightly overpredictable and shallow movie. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 97% 7/10 EDIT “Union County‘s meditative look at the American opioid crisis has a lot on its mind. Meeks does his best to capture Americana while giving Union County a rust-belt visual palette.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) 93% 7/10 EDIT “One part Save the Last Dance and one part Cuban Fury, there’s plenty of great comedy to make this a genuinely good time. Wladyka shows off some genuinely great direction, and Kikuchi brings it home with a heartfelt performance” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review When a Witness Recants (2026) 8/10 EDIT “When a Witness Recants is an early contender for the best documentary of 2026. It’s brimming with emotion, and Porter’s storytelling has rarely been this good. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Time and Water (2026) 92% 6/10 EDIT “Time and Water is a prescient, emotional showcase about climate change's effects on our world, most notably in the glaciers of Iceland. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 75% 5/10 EDIT “Despite an incredible second act of the film, Rock Springs struggles with the horror elements. It's not scary, but the mixed metaphors are particularly ineffective.” – FandomWire Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 71% 4/10 EDIT “Chris Pine and Jenny Slate come to play, but Carousel does not work as a rom-com or relationship drama. It runs into far too many tropes to feel like a comedy of note.” – FandomWire Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 70% 7/10 EDIT “Iliza Shlesinger and Josephine Decker combine their styles to create a fun comedy. It is daring, both in its depiction of sex and in navigating love in the modern era. ” – FandomWire Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Troublemaker (2026) 6/10 EDIT “While Troublemaker has flaws, it’s a well-made documentary. We’d love to see more exploration into Mandela behind closed doors, and there are a few moments that Fuqua skirts around the issues.” – FandomWire Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 97% 9/10 EDIT “Josephine is one of the first great movies of 2026. It is a dark film with heavy subject matter and questions to pose to parents. However, it’s also incredibly well-made and features an impeccable child performance.” – FandomWire Jan 31, 2026 Full Review The Lake (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Ellis crafts a film that adds to the urgency of the moment and, for once, provides hope that we can make a change before it's too late.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Soul Patrol (2026) 100% 6/10 EDIT “The stories they tell are essential to understanding how war affected those men in the 1970s. With intriguing discourse and plenty of emotion, Soul Patrol is still worthy of your time.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “With an incredible Inuit-inspired score and plenty of great images, Nuisance Bear sneaks up on the audience. It’s a compelling experience that needs to be seen. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Buddy (2026) 83% 8/10 EDIT “While Buddy might not be for everyone, it’s a fun and weird horror experience you’re unlikely to forget. Featuring great performances and visuals, Kelly continues to build his brand as an absurdist horror filmmaker.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The Disciple (2026) 7/10 EDIT “The Disciple suffers from too much tell and not enough show. The result is a film that feels like it’s missing something, even if it’s an extremely fun ride.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Once Upon a Time in Harlem is a masterful documentary and historical document. It is one that everyone will benefit from experiencing.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Seized (2026) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Seized might not be the most world-changing documentary, but it is an incredibly rich topic. Understanding the role of the media in our local communities remains essential.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 29, 2026 Full Review
