Silent Friend (2025) 98% 8/10 EDIT “With careful direction that maintains the significance of nature in our lives without assigning a meaning beyond what the characters seek, Silent Friend is a gorgeous, somewhat inexplicable character study.” – But Why Tho? May 14, 2026 Full Review Labyrinth (2025) 2/10 EDIT “Labyrinth (2026) lacks a compelling plot and is further weakened by an unsympathetic protagonist and uninspired animation. ” – But Why Tho? May 12, 2026 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 85% 7.5/10 EDIT “Thrumming with kinetic energy that buzzes with the intensity of a good bassline, Erupcja is, at times, an intoxicating journey of wayward long nights and proximity.” – InBetweenDrafts May 12, 2026 Full Review Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) 95% 8/10 EDIT “Two Seasons, Two Strangers is an understated stunner that packs a refined yet effective emotional punch. ” – InBetweenDrafts May 7, 2026 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “Presented with an observed, calculated restraint, Romvari delivers a quiet yet contemplative drama that understands the weight of what is left unsaid. ” – InBetweenDrafts May 5, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 4/10 EDIT “Rushed yet overstaying its welcome, The Devil Wears Prada 2 proves, again, the diminishing returns of stories born from nostalgia. ” – But Why Tho? Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 71% 8/10 EDIT “Mother Mary flies in the face of convention for a story about the self-destruction of art, the inexplicable bonds we form in the hardest moments of our lives, and the proof of love manifesting in the ghosts we share.” – But Why Tho? Apr 26, 2026 Full Review ChaO (2025) 84% 7.5/10 EDIT “ChaO might not be cohesive from start to finish, but what it lacks in structural polish it makes up for with the artistry. The film is gorgeous and refuses easy, familiar designs for ones that skew a little stranger and a little rough around the edges.” – InBetweenDrafts Apr 22, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 6/10 EDIT “The Drama is often a frustrating test of patience. Its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness, possessing an inability to settle down.” – But Why Tho? Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Miroirs No. 3 (2025) 95% 7.5/10 EDIT “Miroirs No. 3 might not reach the heights of Christian Petzold’s greatest hits, but it’s a lovely, understated rumination on the inner conflicts that drive our decision-making. ” – But Why Tho? Mar 29, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 5/10 EDIT “With gratuitous, unnecessary violence, stagnant direction, and repetitive writing, Ready or Not 2 Here I Come is forgettable.” – But Why Tho? Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Pretty Lethal (2026) 58% 4.5 EDIT “Despite some committed performances and a premise that bubbles with possibility, there’s not enough personality or direction to make it anything more than another half-baked action flick.” – But Why Tho? Mar 26, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% 4/10 EDIT “The Wrecking Crew is loud, and bloody, and hints at greater thematic weight than it’s able actually to muster. The script, however, and the foundation the story is built on, crumble early and never come back together.” – But Why Tho? Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) 7/10 EDIT “Cosmic Princess Kaguya is tremendous for the first 90 minutes. Possessed by frenetic, electrified visuals and heartfelt emotional beats, it’s not a miss, but it’s a shame it comes close to being one.” – But Why Tho? Jan 23, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 7/10 EDIT “A swift, vibrant science-fiction flick that, at the very least, doesn’t get bogged down in its own fictional redundancy.” – But Why Tho? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 76% 7/10 EDIT “A breezy, charming, jet-setting rom-com that delights with strong writing and charismatic leads.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (2025) 71% 6/10 EDIT “Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is gorgeous. That was a given. But there’s simply no reason for it, given how it’s structured. Because this isn’t a film.” – But Why Tho? Dec 7, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 76% 3/10 EDIT “Jay Kelly completely misses the mark. Masquerading as high art, it suffers because it has no interest in truly probing what the story is about.” – But Why Tho? Dec 7, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% 9/10 EDIT “100 Meters, in its quiet heartbreaks and subtle humor, is tremendous. A breathless and breathtaking example of the limitless possibilities for animation.” – But Why Tho? Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 4/10 EDIT “A lumbering, poorly shot slog of a ride that, in its pursuit of epic maximalism, stumbles into dull regurgitation instead.” – InBetweenDrafts Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (2025) 96% 9/10 EDIT “Farsi allows Hassona’s face to tell the story, to lead where it goes through her thoughtful words and ever-shifting expressions. The result is as devastating as it is enraging. ” – But Why Tho? Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Angel's Egg (1985) 100% 9/10 EDIT “From the opening, introductory moments until the dazzling yet puzzling conclusion, Angel’s Egg embarks on an unlikely operatic, tumultuous journey.” – InBetweenDrafts Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 7.5/10 EDIT “Little Amélie or the Character of Rain is a gorgeously adapted animated film that highlights the natural world and our place in it through its diminutive protagonist.” – But Why Tho? Nov 6, 2025 Full Review The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) 42% C- EDIT “...while it’s hardly a catastrophic mess, the adaptation – based on the 1992 film of the same name – is a lackluster, at times aggravating, mess. ” – The Playlist Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 7.5/10 EDIT “Thought-provoking, unexpectedly funny, and rich with life, Urchin is a promising debut from a talent just at the start of his career.” – InBetweenDrafts Oct 14, 2025 Full Review
