Sentimental Value (2025) 95% EDIT “It’s unclear if Trier is being dirty or ironic. His casual perversity gets in the way of the film’s hokiness, play-acting the same old dysfunction that’s become a cliché in TV melodramas. ” – National Review Mar 13, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “So much absurdity occurs in The Bride! that Gyllenhaal might as well have included bloopers.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 24% EDIT “In his former brilliance, Brooks rarely made a misstep. But now, Brooks’s wit has devolved into tone-deaf sarcasm redolent of today’s fractious period.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 96% EDIT “EPiC gets closer to the personality of the pop enigma than the insipid fictional drama did. The unguarded Elvis that emerges from the documentary footage complements our outside perspective.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 91% EDIT “Shame on parents who permit their children to buy this corporate idolatry.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 94% EDIT “Train Dreams is both Malick and Dylan without the artistry and moral purpose.” – National Review Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Excalibur (1981) 72% EDIT “Seeing Excalibur again -- witnessing Boorman’s modernist, erotic, quasi-Christian vision -- revives ideals we’ve lost about cinema and film culture. It was the best film of 1981.” – National Review Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% EDIT “Brontë’s genius, once so fundamental, now seems so hoary that this modern approach might as well be satirical.” – National Review Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “We might be ready for a film about the cost of political fame. And Baumbach might be cynical enough to track it. But Baumbach’s cynicism about Hollywood’s parasites and exploitation dodges the issue. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 83% EDIT “It is the American-to-European cultural transition that gives Solo Mio rickety charm. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Melania (2026) 11% EDIT “"Melania" fights fairly by fighting gracefully. This is Ratner's most elegant filmmaking so far. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% EDIT “Sorry, Baby turns out to be a sensitive sociological critique. It looks at Agnes’s deep loneliness with comic compassion.” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Young Mothers (2025) 95% EDIT “Young Mothers never succumbs to mawkish sentimentality, but its mixed-tape vision of several girls’ stories varies the experiences so that none of them are viewed as stereotypes. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% EDIT “The ultimate delight of Nouvelle Vague recalls F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Last Tycoon: Linklater appreciates that even as early as Breathless, Godard held in his head “the whole equation” of cinema and business, art and politics, exploitation and morality.” – National Review Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% EDIT “Sports is the subject of Eephus, a surprisingly good movie for 2025, which was an exceptionally poor year for American films.” – National Review Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 82% EDIT “These themes are recognizable, sometimes amusing, without ever being convincing. Too many rhyming quirks and coincidences prove Jarmusch’s poor dramaturgy. ” – National Review Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “None of this tells us anything new beyond confirming the insidious, treacherous, bad character traits that the millennium so far has showcased.” – National Review Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% EDIT “Diamond’s mysterious craft is the secret charm that makes Song Sung Blue so very moving.” – National Review Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Wild Reeds (1994) 100% EDIT “Its vision of political and humanist harmony remains great enough to instruct this era’s discordance.” – National Review Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “Lee has no interest in portraying the reality of black American economics but misreads the black bourgeoisie in terms of his own partisanship. ” – National Review Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “When the show’s trio cheers itself, it recalls why the Tony Awards broadcast has become unwatchable.” – National Review Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% EDIT “Everything about Hamnet is condescending, just as everything is literalized in today’s movies because Hollywood has thoroughly abandoned outreach.” – National Review Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dracula (2025) 68% EDIT “There’s undeniable brilliance throughout the nearly three hours. But Dracula is also [Radu Jude's] most infuriating and least disciplined film, because he doesn’t understand global disaster so much as he is simply, brazenly, cynical.” – National Review Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Erivo and Grande both sing with so little personality that their friendship just seems like a tired gimmick. And the Easter egg ending that contradicts the story’s original moral lesson is not happy.” – National Review Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 71% EDIT “The mix of sentimentality and skepticism defeats the movie.” – National Review Nov 25, 2025 Full Review
