In Cold Light (2025) 45% EDIT “A lot of thrillers are exciting but empty. 'In Cold Light' is thrilling but very full in unexpected and complicated ways.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “'Sound of Falling' operates like a ghost story, complete with a haunted house, but the ghosts aren’t supernatural. The ghost is history.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 16, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 3/4 EDIT “Doing something new with zombies has to be a little challenging, but Hilditch, who wrote and directed, manages it. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Merv (2025) 35% 1.5/4 EDIT “Much could have been saved if Deschanel and Coz had authentic chemistry. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 4/4 EDIT “Stewart adapted the material, and you can feel her love for it.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Come Closer (2024) 2.5/4 EDIT “is a unique take on grief, containing insight into projection and transference, as well as the way obsession is almost a relief from having to face the unfaceable. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review The Thing with Feathers (2025) 46% 1.5/4 EDIT “However, when it comes to critiquing a film adaptation, one thing is pretty clear from years of doing this: when the film doesn’t work, the problem often lies in the choices made when adapting the source material.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Director Charlie Shackleton is a good and entertaining guide.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Trifole (2024) 77% 3/4 EDIT “The film is whimsical, sometimes self-consciously so, and its blend of fairy-tale elements has a clear purpose but results in some structural awkwardness. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 3.5/4 EDIT “None of this is easy, and not much of it is fun. But 'Die My Love' is a wild and worthwhile ride.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 7, 2025 Full Review All of You (2024) 71% 3/4 EDIT “'All of You' sounds a little corny. It’s not. It’s a serious romantic drama, featuring two adult characters who don’t always behave well, who betray themselves and others, who sometimes don’t know what they want or need.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 28, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “There’s a very welcome absence of condescension and sentimentality that is often used in the portrayal of elderly people on film, particularly when they engage in activities not typically associated with their age. ” – RogerEbert.com Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Went Up the Hill (2024) 67% 3.5/4 EDIT “‘Went Up the Hill' doesn’t just explore grief, it expresses it.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 15, 2025 Full Review She Rides Shotgun (2025) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “The whole thing is a little uneven, but it avoids sentimentality, perhaps the biggest trap in material involving a child.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Folktales (2025) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film suggests that finding the threads connecting us to our collective past is work of great healing and rejuvenation.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Drowning Dry (2024) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT ““Drowning Dry” holds you at arm’s length, but I found it more moving—and unsettling—because of that.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Wild Diamond (2024) 85% 3/4 EDIT ““Wild Diamond” doesn’t judge or look down on its main character and doesn’t try to control how we view her. This is a welcome rarity.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 15, 2025 Full Review My Mom Jayne (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Hargitay’s approach is intuitive in a really courageous way, because she’s so open to the process, to her own pain and loss. ” – RogerEbert.com Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Ponyboi (2024) 81% 2.5/4 EDIT “The quiet character-based scenes are often mesmerizing, as are the dreamy sequences where time seems to stand still. When the plot makes its demands, the spell is broken.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Prime Minister (2025) 93% 3/4 EDIT “In many ways, the documentary is as unprecedented as Ardern’s career.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 13, 2025 Full Review The Last Rodeo (2025) 69% EDIT “If the characters aren't three-dimensional and the plot is so predictable it creaks into motion by the five-minute mark. you haven't done the work necessary to pull in your audience. You've got to give us something to hang our cowboy hats on. ” – RogerEbert.com May 23, 2025 Full Review Sew Torn (2024) 95% 3/4 EDIT ““Sew Torn” isn’t a genre exercise, not really. It’s more of an off-kilter riff on the familiar.” – RogerEbert.com May 9, 2025 Full Review Electra (2024) 50% 3/4 EDIT “The film itself shimmers with a kind of free-floating hilarity, and the team’s sense of creativity and pleasure is catching.” – RogerEbert.com May 2, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% 3/4 EDIT “Blichfeldt revels in the grotesque and gory, pushing things to their limit, with an unmistakable sense of glee.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 18, 2025 Full Review That They May Face the Rising Sun (2023) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Collins and Eamon Little adapted the novel together, keeping the book’s formless structure (no chapter headings, no separations to show time jumps), and slowing everything down, reflecting the book’s hypnotic pacing. ” – RogerEbert.com Apr 11, 2025 Full Review
