The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 3/4 EDIT “The score resonates on a more sophisticated level than other recent musicals.” – Film-Forward.com Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Mother and the Bear (2024) 89% 3/4 EDIT “A sweet, amicable, and droll comedy that honors nosy, overprotective, and concerned mothers everywhere ... A heartwarming story that’s hard to resist.” – Film-Forward.com Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 2.5/4 EDIT “You get sap with the sake.” – Film-Forward.com Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Glenrothan (2025) 1/4 EDIT “One needed a shot or two of the family’s whiskey to get through this. ” – Film-Forward.com Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Sink (2025) 3/4 EDIT “Empathetic and ofttimes harrowing.” – Film-Forward.com Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Hen (2025) 3.5/4 EDIT “The director rightfully calls this, “an organic chicken movie.” ” – Film-Forward.com Nov 1, 2025 Full Review The Blue Trail (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Part dystopian nightmare, sci-fi, kitchen-sink drama, adventure tale, and satire, with a hint of romance, the film remains focused despite its shifts in tone. ” – Film-Forward.com Nov 1, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Park Chan-wook takes as his blueprint Donald E Westlake’s lean and mean bloodbath "The Ax" (1997) and makes the macabre and cynical tale his own.” – Film-Forward.com Oct 5, 2025 Full Review The Tale of Silyan (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Captivating and meticulously filmed, <em>The Tale of Silyan</em> stands out among the documentaries this year.” – Film-Forward.com Oct 5, 2025 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “[This] film was among the most talked about movies at TIFF for those who were lucky to have seen it. ” – Film-Forward.com Oct 5, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 2/4 EDIT “You’ve seen this movie before. ” – Film-Forward.com Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Lurker (2025) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “The LA bottom-feeding milieu oozes with realism that is often at odds with an overly calculated screenplay.” – Film-Forward.com Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “For a film about someone stuck and slowly coming to terms with trauma, it’s surprisingly spirited.” – Film-Forward.com Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Billy Idol Should Be Dead (2025) 3/4 EDIT “Now in his late 60s, Idol is refreshingly candid—echoing his younger swagger when he once declared, “I just want to get screwed to death.”” – Film-Forward.com Jul 1, 2025 Full Review An Eye for an Eye (2025) 4/4 EDIT “The filmmakers had remarkable access to all parties ... Emotions run so high that viewers may feel embarrassed that they’re eavesdropping. ” – Film-Forward.com Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Natchez (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A disquieting time capsule of the 2020s.” – Film-Forward.com Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Depeche Mode: M (2025) 3/5 EDIT “For those whose connection with the band faded after their early-’90s U.S. peak, the new material proves just as catchy and enigmatic. ” – Film-Forward.com Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Boy George & Culture Club (2025) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The gift that fans of music publications like Melody Maker and NME would have clamored for 45 years ago, when the band was at the peak of its popularity.” – Film-Forward.com Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Bong has crafted a romp through and through, with characterizations lighter than the snow falling on its frigid interstellar planet.” – Film-Forward.com Mar 8, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 3/4 EDIT “While some dramatic liberties have presumably been taken with Dylan’s Greenwich Village years, credit Mangold for crafting suspense around a question fans already know the outcome of: whether Dylan will go electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.” – Film-Forward.com Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 3/4 EDIT “It’s doubtful Kidman has ever been as emotionally and physically vulnerable as she is here. Nor has she ever been this primal. More than once, viewers may find themselves questioning whether they should even be watching.” – Film-Forward.com Dec 24, 2024 Full Review September 5 (2024) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “At a brisk 95 minutes, the film’s timeline is never less than riveting.” – Film-Forward.com Dec 14, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “How do you solve a problem like Maria—portraying soprano Maria Callas, that is?” – Film-Forward.com Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Director Jon M. Chu’s film adaptation has a brain, a heart, and the courage of its convictions. ” – Film-Forward.com Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “Nevertheless, there are enough buoyant comedic set pieces to make you forget momentarily that the mayhem flags, while the thumping musical soundtrack helps push along the loosey-goosey pace.” – Film-Forward.com Oct 18, 2024 Full Review
