The Alabama Solution (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “An Oscar-nominated, old-school investigative documentary about appalling conditions in state prisons that uses cell phone footage collected over a decade.” – The Film Yap Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Both over-the-wall bonkers and also deeply human and affecting, with Sam Rockwell as a time-traveling savior of the world who seems very dyspeptic about the whole thing.” – The Film Yap Feb 15, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 81% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's a strictly-for-the-kiddies game in this all-animal basketball animated effort that reminds us you can't win by just coasting.” – The Film Yap Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “A dying spoken word poet comes to grips with their fate while choosing an immortal exit in this moving Oscar-nominated documentary.” – The Film Yap Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Schlocky B-movie thrills with A-list talent in this goofy romp about the race to stop a space fungus that turns people into exploding zombies.” – The Film Yap Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Arco (2025) 92% 3.5 EDIT “Plays like minor-key Hayao Miyazaki, probably more enjoyable for adults than kids, as a girl from the future tries to help a boy from even further in the future.” – The Film Yap Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 55% 4/5 EDIT “Coleman and John Lithgow as a daughter and father navigating their scratchy past and vanishing future.” – The Film Yap Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “A love letter to Italy and romance, as Kevin James reaches beyond his comedy roots as a shlub dumped at the altar who decides to go ahead with his honeymoon alone.” – The Film Yap Feb 4, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 2.5/5 EDIT “Jodie Foster can't save this odd duck of a movie about a psychiatrist trying to solve the murder of a patient, which is too esoteric and just plain dull.” – The Film Yap Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Director Sam Raimi offers his signature mix of puckish irony, relatable characters and over-the-top bursts of gore in this tale of an office drone who crash-lands on an island with her a-hole boss.” – The Film Yap Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Jason Statham is back, playing his prototypical glum nobody who's -- surprise! -- actually a killing machine fighting for a girl's life against the shadowy government forces he used to serve.” – The Film Yap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “A heartbreaking dramatization of a little Palestinian girl who was trapped in the Gaza war focuses on the human element rather than angry politics, elevating its power.” – The Film Yap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “A compelling performance by Amanda Seyfried and an interesting use of music and dance. But it's often just quite dull, and could have done more to interrogate the religious fanaticism at the core of its story.” – The Film Yap Jan 24, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Darkly satirical and funny, though not nearly the effective anti-capitalist screed it's trying to be.” – The Film Yap Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kind of cheesy, silly and even deliberately dumb, but you can't deny the entertainment value. Classic B-movie for January.” – The Film Yap Jan 24, 2026 Full Review In Cold Light (2025) 50% 4.5/5 EDIT “Maika Monroe anchors this terrifically tense thriller about a drug dealer just released from prison whose attempts to rebuild her empire turn toward death and disaster.” – The Film Yap Jan 22, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “A professor turns to training a killer goshawk as a way of dealing with the trauma of her father's death in this affecting based-on-true story.” – The Film Yap Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Sea Chase (1955) 2.5/5 EDIT “This forgettable John Wayne vehicle attempts to graft a romance onto a grim adventure on the high seas, and the result is a movie dizzy with wayward narrative navigation.” – The Film Yap Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Decently acted and tense, though the divergence from the historical record is unnecessary and egregious.” – The Film Yap Jan 19, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Surprisingly, it approves on its predecessor, elevating the zombie flick genre with a contemplative approach, sometimes even gentle and funny. Contrasted with the utter terror of the Jimmys gang of satanic reavers.” – The Film Yap Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Charlie the Wonderdog (2025) 42% 2/5 EDIT “Solid animation and voice acting can't save this poorly written story about a superpooch that's probably only fit for the very youngest audiences.” – The Film Yap Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Rebuilding (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A lovely cinematic hymn about a lonely rancher who loses everything in a wildfire, but finds a community and a connection to his estranged daughter in the bargain.” – The Film Yap Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “hough it may not be for everyone, Jim Jarmusch's eclectic anthology approach to dysfunctional families makes for a moody study of manners.” – The Film Yap Jan 9, 2026 Full Review I Was a Stranger (2024) 76% 4.5/5 EDIT “This anthology of connected stories about Syrian refugees is a searing tale that shows both the depravity and grace of humanity in crisis.” – The Film Yap Jan 8, 2026 Full Review My Neighbor Adolf (2022) 44% 4/5 EDIT “A little gem of a movie about a Holocaust survivor who suspects his new neighbor is the Führer; it starts out as a comedy caper, edges into tragic lament and somehow lands in sweet sentiment.” – The Film Yap Jan 7, 2026 Full Review
