The Bad Patriots (2024) 2/4 EDIT “When Fraga steps back from trying to situate the film as a smaller part of his "manipulation trilogy" and allows the focus to stay on Loach and Corbyn, Bad Patriots is informative as well as interesting.” – 1More Film Blog Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Young Mothers (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Any Dardenne film is a cause for rejoicing, and there are moments in this one that got me to see these young women as people in a difficult situation rather than merely as stock figures. ” – 1More Film Blog Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Secret Mall Apartment (2024) 98% 4/4 EDIT “Gradually develops into an all-time great art documentary. ” – 1More Film Blog Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 1.5/4 EDIT “If you replaced Jesse Eisenberg with an animated wolf I am not sure I could distinguish any random fifteen seconds of the film from The Bad Guys 2.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 13, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 1.5/4 EDIT “We can’t ever be more than five minutes of screen time removed from a chase or a fight or an explosion.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 11, 2025 Full Review When Fall Is Coming (2024) 97% 3/4 EDIT “Rarely does this writing out and out falsify some assumption or inference about a character, but it often leads to doubts and second-guessing.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 1, 2025 Full Review The Lovely Bones (2009) 31% 1/4 EDIT “As feel-good child murder movies go, The Lovely Bones hits all its marks. ” – 1More Film Blog Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Stitch Head (2025) 71% 3/4 EDIT “If the middle dilutes the film’s overall impact, it does not entirely blunt the effectiveness of the end or hurt the film too much beyond my downgrading it from “great” to “very good.”” – 1More Film Blog Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Last Days (2025) 32% 3.5/4 EDIT “Like some spiritual cousin of Chris McCandless from Into the Wild, John longs for authenticity while being surrounded at every turn by people more ready to tell him how to live his life than to practice what they preach. ” – 1More Film Blog Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Divia (2025) 2/4 EDIT “The film fails to move the viewer beyond the broad claim, which most probably already assented to, that war is bad for the earth.” – 1More Film Blog Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 1.5/4 EDIT “Within ten minutes, we understand exactly why Rodgers moved on.” – 1More Film Blog Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% 3/4 EDIT “A more generic film would make Jeff into a monster here, but Ansari is less interested in critiquing Jeff than he is in interrogating the systems that create those like him. ” – 1More Film Blog Oct 15, 2025 Full Review 300letters (2025) 1.5/4 EDIT “In the romance genre, one needs to be rooting for the couple. In the break up genre, it helps if you don’t think the characters are better off without each other. ” – 1More Film Blog Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 1.5/4 EDIT “Roofman is either a morally confused movie or a morally confusing one.” – 1More Film Blog Oct 10, 2025 Full Review One Big Happy Family (2025) 2/4 EDIT “The film feels a little too afraid to let Rachel be angry or to show anyone being unlikable.” – 1More Film Blog Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 3/4 EDIT “The ending doesn’t negate the good that preceded it, but a slightly more polished and tighter script could have landed the film in Best Picture discussions. ” – 1More Film Blog Oct 10, 2025 Full Review The War Between (2024) 89% 2/4 EDIT “The film could be construed as saying that because representatives of both sides are flawed, the sides themselves are morally equivalent.” – 1More Film Blog Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Naked Ambition (2023) 3/4 EDIT “I was engaged by almost all of the segments, but I also was frustrated that many were not developed beyond the articulation of the main point.” – 1More Film Blog Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Just the Two of Us (2023) 72% 2/5 EDIT “Poupad does what he can with such a one-dimensional character, but truth is you know where this is going from the moment Grégoire tells his girlfriend that he doesn’t like her new haircut.” – 1More Film Blog Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Suspended Time (2024) 66% 3.5/4 EDIT “Not knowing how our lives will evolve, change, and adapt is scary.” – 1More Film Blog Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Hola Frida (2024) 87% 3/5 EDIT “I am not saying it should be for adults, but adults may find it harder to look past or dismiss the necessarily simplified presentation of its subject matter.” – 1More Film Blog Aug 9, 2025 Full Review The Trouble with Jessica (2023) 60% 1/4 EDIT “More sour than dark and never particularly funny.” – 1More Film Blog Aug 4, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 2/5 EDIT “I suspect if this had been the first four episodes of a rebooted television series, parceled out in 22 minute episodes, I probably would have felt differently.” – 1More Film Blog Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 2/4 EDIT “Jurassic Park movies have always been a bit too cavalier for my taste about using children as dinosaur bait to up the ante.” – 1More Film Blog Jul 21, 2025 Full Review If You Should Leave Before Me (2025) 90% 2.5/4 EDIT “A screenplay that assumes the audience is two steps behind better be two steps ahead...” – 1More Film Blog Jul 4, 2025 Full Review
