A Safe Distance (2026) EDIT “The technical details here impress, including the pace of the editing (courtesy of Mercer, doubling in that role).” – Hammer to Nail Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Love Language (2026) 2.5/5 EDIT “Beyond the sad reality that, in our present, most folks with writer’s block desperate for vows would probably turn to AI, the real hole at the center of "Love Language" is that the ending simply doesn’t work.” – Film Festival Today Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 69% 2.5/5 EDIT “What happened in 1885 deserves its own feature-length, standalone treatment, perhaps as a documentary. "Rock Springs" tries, but never quite does that tragedy full justice.” – Film Festival Today Mar 19, 2026 Full Review DreamQuil (2026) 2/5 EDIT “After a while, we’re never sure what is real and what isn’t, and while it can be fun to play that guessing game, such riddles only work when the final reveal lands with impact. Here it’s just a muddle.” – Film Festival Today Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Sender (2026) 1.5/5 EDIT “Addiction and recovery dramas come in all shapes and sizes; this one barely fits its many competing subjects.” – Film Festival Today Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Ugly Cry (2026) EDIT “In her directorial debut feature, "Ugly Cry," actor-turned-writer/director Emily Robinson delivers a compelling meditation on how the harsh gaze—male, female, and even one’s own—within systems built on exploitation inevitably leads to terrible outcomes.” – Hammer to Nail Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Basic (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Throughout, it is consistent as a raucous comedy and celebration of female empowerment and agency. It’s also a clever rom-com that never forgets that, at our most "basic" level, many of us just want to be happy in love.” – Film Festival Today Mar 17, 2026 Full Review The Peril at Pincer Point (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s the strangeness of it all that makes "The Peril at Pincer Point" work.” – Film Festival Today Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Sparks (2026) EDIT “The beauty of "Sparks" is in the evocation of youthful exploration and imagination, Campbell never passing judgment on the fantasies and contradictions of his eclectic cast of characters. ” – Hammer to Nail Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Chili Finger (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s great to see Greer in a leading role like this, so often does she play (to perfection) the supporting parts.” – Film Festival Today Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Grind (2026) 94% EDIT “Divided into four sections, bookended by a prologue and epilogue, the movie has a lot to say about the world of today and has a lot of fun saying it.” – Hammer to Nail Mar 15, 2026 Full Review The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “I may be the furthest thing from an "apocaloptimist," but I appreciate Roher and Tyrell’s efforts.” – Film Festival Today Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Beyond the Duplex Planet (2026) EDIT “The movie cuts back and forth from the past to the present, showing the totality of Greenberger’s creative output and curiosity, including the many notebooks, audio tapes, and films he has collected and curated over the years.” – Hammer to Nail Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Crime & Parody (2026) EDIT “Like so many important documentaries of our day, "Crime & Parody" should serve as a wakeup call to those still asleep. If the police can’t be held accountable then our freedoms do not exist.” – Hammer to Nail Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Public Access (2026) 60% EDIT “The beauty of the movie is in the archival, which consists of contextualizing footage of New York City of that time plus copious amounts of rough-and-tumble broadcasts of all varieties.” – Hammer to Nail Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) 100% EDIT “Resistance is anything but futile.” – Hammer to Nail Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Filipiñana (2026) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “A deceptively gentle examination of social-class hierarchies and wealth disparities, the film turns into a sharp-edged critique of both by the end, without ever losing its outward calm.” – Film Festival Today Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Arco (2025) 93% EDIT “"Arco" proves a moving, thrilling experience, filled with genuine, earned emotion and wildly enjoyable flights of fancy.” – Hammer to Nail Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 2/5 EDIT “A lot of innocent people die here, which, unless you’re a psychopath, makes it really hard to enjoy the proceedings. ” – Film Festival Today Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Shame and Money (2026) 100% EDIT “Throw a great cast into the mix and we have a recipe for cinematic success.” – Hammer to Nail Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Seized (2026) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “There is a lot to unpack here, and Liese proves an able guide through the sometimes-baroque details.” – Film Festival Today Jan 29, 2026 Full Review To Hold a Mountain (2026) 100% EDIT “Glomazić and Tutorov have crafted an engaging modern-day fable that inspires the viewer with a vision of what we all can do to reclaim our freedom as citizens.” – Hammer to Nail Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Cookie Queens (2026) 100% EDIT “The girls hold our attention throughout. I’ll double my order of boxes, please.” – Film Festival Today Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Barbara Forever (2026) 100% EDIT “Who would she be without the cinematic gaze? It’s a fitting conundrum to ponder for a director of Hammer’s considerable stature.” – Hammer to Nail Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Young Mothers (2025) 95% EDIT “Each actress delivers a heartfelt performance, the rawness of the characters’ desperation palpable from the very first scenes.” – Hammer to Nail Jan 8, 2026 Full Review
