Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% A EDIT “...“Once Upon a Time in Harlem” works on many fronts as both an exquisitely crafted reflection and a tribute to the time, both of the Harlem Renaissance and of Greaves’ generation, hungry to hear these nearly forgotten stories.” – The Playlist Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 56% 2.5/4 EDIT “'The Moment' is something different, a big swing into the mockumentary genre satirizing the pressures of pop stardom and the struggle for creative control.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Clika (2026) 1/4 EDIT “For a movie that should be about high stakes, all-or-nothing risks, there was almost no heat until the last quarter of the movie.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review I Was a Stranger (2024) 75% 2/4 EDIT “Compassion begins at home, and 'I Was a Strange’ seems to have missed that part of the journey. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 1.5/4 EDIT “If the narrative doesn’t get you down, then maybe the dialogue will, because it’s perhaps even more leadened and cheesy than many might stomach. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “'The Housemaid’ doesn’t quite get as silly and tawdry as it needs to, but it immensely improves in the film’s last third when Sweeney comes out to play. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 18, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 68% 3/4 EDIT “At a time when women are losing rights and encouraged to live life in service of their husbands, it is a dazzling escape to a world that’s more peculiar than ours.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film takes a simple premise of a person forced to choose between two prospective suitors and elaborates the concept with clever world-building and emotional relationship dynamics. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Murder at the Embassy (2025) 1.5/4 EDIT “The film feels like one of those quick and easy reads you’d pick up at an airport bookstore on your way to your flight. But when you finally find your seat and excitedly crack open the book, it’s maybe a little too breezy as a page turner. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 14, 2025 Full Review All That We Love (2024) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Its subdued, no-frills drama may be just the space one needs for a good cry.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% 1.5/4 EDIT “But too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and in the case of “Regretting You,” the narrative buckles under the number of overblown emotional scenes and the commercial interruptions for product placements. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “The film arrives at a time when we could perhaps use a little more distraction, an excuse to stop doomscrolling and fall into the old school charms of sweeping musicals and a story about love in the face of oppression. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% 4/4 EDIT “The film is a surprisingly beautiful and subtle tribute to the balancing act it takes to be a working artist.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% 3/4 EDIT “It’s a fun, messed-up horror thriller playing with both familiar tropes and modern-day anxieties of love, sex, and finding out that someone has booked the same rental home for the weekend. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 8, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “Not only does [Paul Thomas Anderson] push himself and really try different things both visually and narratively, it just feels like everything works together so precisely-- very entertaining, completely riveted.” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% 1.5/4 EDIT “It’s an ambitious and expressionistic family drama about brothers and fathers, but its obtuse nature leaves the audience feeling estranged. ” – RogerEbert.com Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Doin' It (2024) 50% 2.5/4 EDIT “It is more of a fling than one for the books, but it’s a fun one, nonetheless. ” – RogerEbert.com Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Swiped (2025) 44% 2/4 EDIT “It was the user experience of the film—where its simplistic narrative design leaves no surprises and plenty of shallow characters—that felt unsatisfying. ” – RogerEbert.com Sep 19, 2025 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 86% EDIT “It lands somewhere in-between 'Moonage Daydream’ and the recently released 'It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley,’ and it’s nonetheless a treat for just about every Elvis fan.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Driver's Ed (2025) 80% EDIT “The overall story at the center ends on a heartwarming note and a feel-good message about the painful changes that come with growing up. ” – RogerEbert.com Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “So much of the movie is meticulously composed, colorful, and detailed, that it almost feels like a romantic fairytale. ” – RogerEbert.com Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) 84% 2.5/4 EDIT “The result is an ambitious work that is provocative but sometimes convoluted. ” – RogerEbert.com Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film never quite recovers from the moral issue at its center, Squibb’s lively performance makes it memorable.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 3/4 EDIT “Among film types, there is perhaps no greater love language than sharing the art that speaks to you. Linklater not only pays his respects to Godard but also shares that adoration for his craft with his own audience.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 10, 2025 Full Review The Threesome (2025) 77% 2/4 EDIT “It ends up kind of a mixed bag, cute but a bit disjointed.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 6, 2025 Full Review
