Drag (2026) 93% EDIT “Clever and fresh with a lively soundtrack and unhinged fun, Drag is a must-see.” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Grind (2026) 95% EDIT “While Grind doesn’t always connect, it weaves humor and thoughtful storytelling to make some fresh and bold. A relevant premise with a throwback feel, Grind is a treat.” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review The Sun Never Sets (2026) 93% EDIT “The Sun Never Sets marks a confident return for Swanberg, bolstered by a stellar performance from Fanning and a thoughtful, often painful exploration of love, growth, and the realization that fulfillment doesn’t always come from another person.” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Edie Arnold Is a Loser (2026) 100% EDIT “An empowering anthem to the female spirit, Edie Arnold is a Loser is loud, messy, and full of heart; an energetic joy that understands imperfection as a strength, not a flaw.” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Dead Deer High (2026) EDIT “Dead Deer High is a quiet, compassionate film that understands grief as something lived through, not neatly overcome. ” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Never After Dark (2026) 100% EDIT “It’s one of the best horror films of 2026 so far—and that’s saying something. A perfect SXSW midnighter, Never After Dark proves Dave Boyle knows how to craft a lovingly epic nightmare. ” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review He Bled Neon (2026) EDIT “He Bled Neon is a pulpy, fun thriller that thrives on action, style, and mood.” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Kill Me (2026) 100% EDIT “An absolute must‑see, Kill Me offers a career‑defining best for Day while reaffirming Williams as a star. Come for the laughs, stay for the heart, and get pulled into the heady whodunnit.” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Seekers of Infinite Love (2026) 80% EDIT “Seekers of Infinite Love is a road‑trip movie filled with unexpected comedic detours and an emotional ending that drives home the enduring power of family.” – Film Inquiry Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Home Delivery (2025) EDIT “Home Delivery is a comedy brave enough to sit with emotional messiness and find real heart. ” – Film Inquiry Mar 27, 2026 Full Review The Best Summer (2026) 85% EDIT “An ode to alternative 90’s rock, The Best Summer, whisks you up in a frenzy of one person’s camera, and yet we feel like we were all there.” – Film Inquiry Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Night Nurse (2026) 76% EDIT “Moody and unafraid - Night Nurse won’t be for everyone, but it’ll turn heads. And it turned mine.” – Film Inquiry Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 71% EDIT “Rock Springs is a thoughtful manifestation of grief and the real horror that is rooted in our history. Miao is one to look out for.” – Film Inquiry Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) 67% EDIT “When done well, it’s about artistic defiance and the healing element of art. Watch for the good intentions and stay for the heart. Because it’ll definitely stay with you.” – Film Inquiry Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Matter of Time (2025) EDIT “Music can heal, but Matter of Time shows how it can also change lives by turning performance into purpose.” – Film Inquiry Mar 3, 2026 Full Review The Musical (2026) 59% EDIT “At times, genius and at others, just cringey, The Musical the mean-spirited movie of the year.” – Film Inquiry Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 69% EDIT “Carousel will find its audience, and there’s plenty to appreciate about the film; I just wish I had fallen in love with it. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Silenced (2026) 100% EDIT “Silenced is a compassionate documentary that does a successful job delivering on its intent. We all know this is an ongoing battle, and an uphill one at that. Movies like Silenced are the start, and hopefully, this pushes the conversation to continue.” – Film Inquiry Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) 91% EDIT “Paxton has crafted a warm embrace with this film. The Incomer is magic, and it highlights the beautifully strange dance that is human connection. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 95% EDIT “Josephine is a heartbreaking film, but not without hope. It’s brilliant in its performances and gives us Channing Tatum's best. This also proves that Beth de Araújo is one of our bravest new voices.” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) 94% EDIT “This is Hannah Lynch’s film, who does an amazing job as our anchor to both reality and absurdity. Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant is exactly what it says it is, and yet also, much more. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Vindicta (2026) EDIT “Dominik Sedlar’s Vindicta is a harrowing tale that is anchored by exquisite direction and a star-turning lead performance.” – Film Inquiry Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Chaperone (2024) 100% EDIT “Zoe Eisenberg’s assured directorial debut swims in moral ambiguity, but it’s equally concerned with loneliness, inertia, and the quiet despair that can settle in when life feels suspended. ” – Film Inquiry Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The War Between (2024) 89% EDIT “It may not break the wheel but it sure spins it. Watch The War Between for its beautiful landscapes, the emotional journey on screen and to appreciate the talented female eye in an overtly male genre.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Tatami (2023) 94% EDIT “Not only is it one of the best films of the year, but it might just be one of the most important.” – Film Inquiry Jul 28, 2025 Full Review
