Drag (2026) EDIT “If their first feature ultimately lacks depth or even a credible premise, Ullman and Yagolnitzer make up for it with some strong sight gags and a heavy dose of dark humor. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 18, 2026 Full Review My Brother's Killer (2026) EDIT “What makes Mason’s doc stand out from other cold case flicks is how it goes beyond sensationalizing to explore something more sinister within the neon-lit world of ‘80s Los Angeles.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 17, 2026 Full Review My Wife Cries (2026) EDIT “Because of the way the director works, emotions tend to be more discussed than felt, although there’s something about Carla’s desperation that pierces through all the soberness. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 10, 2026 Full Review The Loneliest Man in Town (2026) EDIT “The filmmakers attempt to dramatize Cook’s life while he faces the perils of old age. The problem is that there’s not a whole lot of drama in this minimalist character study.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Soumsoum, The Night of the Stars (2026) EDIT “Haroun’s austere style and languid pacing are strictly for the art house. But there are some memorable moments in this rich and strange desert tale.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Nina Roza (2026) 80% EDIT “It’s an intriguing set-up that takes a little time to find its way, but once it does Nina Roza turns into a moving meditation on estrangement, revealing what you give up by leaving home behind -- and what you gain by daring to finally return.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Nightborn (2026) 70% EDIT “Part of what makes Nightborn both stomach-churning and thought-provoking is how all the crazy stuff happening is just a slightly -- okay, substantially -- exaggerated version of the reality so many first-time parents face. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Dao (2026) EDIT “Gomis is a generous director when it comes to his massive ensemble cast, from which there’s rarely a false note. He’s also too indulgent, refusing to make compromises that would probably help the bigger picture come into focus.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Yellow Letters (2026) 81% EDIT “If the plot in Yellow Letters doesn’t exactly move the needle, intense turns from both leads keep the drama engaging. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 17, 2026 Full Review In A Whisper (2026) EDIT “In Bouzid’s eloquent vision of family ties, a past like Daly’s both haunts the present and informs it. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 95% EDIT “Shot in a pared-down but colorful style by Angello Faccini, Flamingo makes the most out of its limited budget and picturesque locations, which include an arid mountain range straight out of a spaghetti Western.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 53% EDIT “Cheese and kitsch, with smatterings of blood and decapitated heads, are all on the menu in Dracula, which is a watchable if totally ludicrous version of the Stoker story. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Filipiñana (2026) 88% EDIT “Filipiñana could have benefited from a little more story and a little less contemplation. But some of its images remain embedded in the memory.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 25, 2026 Full Review American Doctor (2026) 100% EDIT “What makes American Doctor stand out is how it eschews the bigger picture to focus primarily on the practical, and often hard-to-watch, reality of surgeons trying to save lives in the operating room. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 25, 2026 Full Review American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (2026) 100% EDIT “Understanding the life and work of Luis Valdez is a way to broaden one’s understanding of what it means to be American, perhaps now more than ever. Watching this enlightening and entertaining documentary is a good way to start.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Remake (2025) 100% EDIT “The most courageous thing McElwee does in this latest, heartbreaking work is to keep on filming even during the worst of times, not to make them stop but to make us remember. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Jimmy Jaguar (2025) EDIT “Jimmy Jaguar is a horror movie without explicit horror. It’s as if censors came in to cut out anything that could result in an R rating, leaving us the eerie remnants of what may have happened.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review A Second Life (2025) EDIT “Short and poignant, with a terrific supporting turn from Alex Lawther, A Second Life manages to avoid most of the clichés of your touristy Paris-set drama, all while using the City of Lights to its fullest.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Auction (2024) 90% EDIT “Bonitzer has directed testier movies in the past, but at 79 years old he seems to have mellowed. This makes his latest film less compelling to watch, and yet encouraging in its message about people coming together for the greater good.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Mother Bhumi (2025) EDIT “The problem in this beautifully shot but rather murky affair is that we never quite grasp all the stakes at hand, nor do we know what to actually believe.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% EDIT “The film feels at times like Terrence Malick meets Hiyao Miyazaki for tykes, combining playful subjectivity with surreal flights of fancy. But it also maintains a narrative throughline that’s simple enough for any kid to follow.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Unidentified (2025) EDIT “Sleekly if routinely made, this classic whodunit is ultimately more interesting for what it reveals about the filmmaker’s homeland than for the mystery it unfolds.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Dog 51 (2025) EDIT “For a movie that’s mainly about algorithms and the havoc they wreak on society, the French dystopian thriller Dog 51 doesn’t appear conscious of the fact that it was made by an algorithm as well. Or at least that’s what it seems like.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 8, 2025 Full Review The Fence (2025) 70% EDIT “The Fence suffers from dialogue overload and a somewhat stagy mise-en-scène, although those elements occasionally yield strong sequences fraught with unsettledness, if not outright hostility, when the drama finally boils over.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Girl (2025) 70% EDIT “Shu may have crafted an honest portrait of domestic violence and blue-collar destitution, but she can’t quite turn those elements into strong drama. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 4, 2025 Full Review
