H Is for Hawk (2025) 78% EDIT “H is for Hawk is a compelling memoir, written by a literary mind in a literary mode, and wouldn't seem to lend itself easily to adaptation to cinema. Maybe that’s why the film adaptation feels like only half of a movie.” – Spectrum Culture Jan 26, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “It's a blood-soaked story with unexpected detours into humor, music, mysticism and the one thing that seems least likely to have survived this long: human warmth.” – Spectrum Culture Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “Baumbach’s latest is more an emotional experience than a cerebral one, a warm and poignant comedy about a slow-rolling identity crisis in a man of nearly unimaginable wealth and fame. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “Director Clint Bentley's film adaptation of Denis Johnson’s work beautifully captures the outcast drama in a lush and meditative story that raises more questions than it answers. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 10, 2025 Full Review The Baltimorons (2025) 95% EDIT “A warm and spirited romp that's part redemption story and part romantic-comedy, where the laughs are rooted more in character than in their zany hijinks. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 8, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% EDIT “In Jay Roach’s adaptation of The War of the Roses, he gives us decidedly less thorny carnations: pretty enough to look at, but lacking anything pointed and no sense of danger. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% EDIT “With Caught Stealing, Aronofsky has tempered himself, story-wise, while retaining his zest for kinetic camera work and striking compositions, while opting for a vibe of screwball realism. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% EDIT “Ari Aster’s COVID drama examines a small town torn apart by forces beyond its control. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 18, 2025 Full Review When Fall Is Coming (2024) 97% EDIT “Rather than a story about a plunge, this a story about losing one's grip on the knowable world, the way autumn slides towards darkness and the end of things. ” – Spectrum Culture Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Cleaner (2025) 51% EDIT “An improbable and ethically muddled action flick, Cleaner is a mess. ” – Spectrum Culture Feb 24, 2025 Full Review September 5 (2024) 92% EDIT “A ground-level view of the 1972 Munich Massacre, the film hammers home a two-forked message: nothing is the same, and nothing has changed. ” – Spectrum Culture Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% EDIT “Larraín has something to say about women at the end of their rope. And while not many of us are former First Ladies, Princesses of Wales or superstars of the opera, these stories resonate with anyone who has experienced loss or a crisis of identity. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Elevation (2024) 55% EDIT “Elevation is, for better and for worse, as thin and fleeting as the oxygen on a mountaintop. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% EDIT “This is not a love story or a sweeping historical epic, and yet it leverages the power of music and dance to compress its themes of identity and self-actualization into a dazzling but somewhat flawed package. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night (2024) 77% EDIT “Saturday Night is as goofy of a shaggy-dog variety show as its inspiration, equal parts fizzle and sizzle, but good enough for a great time. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 11, 2024 Full Review I'll Be Your Mirror (2022) 46% EDIT “I'll Be Your Mirror is a character study that neglects to study its character very deeply, content to display the reflection on the surface. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% EDIT “JT Mollner’s twisty-turny kill fest Strange Darling takes the well-worn tropes of slasher films and strips them down and repurposes them into a movie that feels like it’s wearing someone else's skin as a disguise. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Last Summer (2023) 87% EDIT “Your willingness to watch two characters whose actions fall well outside the bounds of decency will determine your ability to enjoy Catherine Breillat's Last Summer and its depiction of irresistible obsession that, to some, may look like madness. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Tuesday (2023) 76% EDIT “Directing her first feature film and working from her own script, Daina Oniunas-Pusić’s Tuesday gleefully addresses the deep questions it asks with equal doses of the surreal and the sincere. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Lilies (1996) 89% EDIT “In the lushness of the cinematography and the languid pacing of the interleaved storylines, the film feels somewhat like the product of another era, when attention spans were longer and ambiguities could be allowed to linger. ” – Spectrum Culture May 29, 2024 Full Review I Saw the TV Glow (2024) 85% EDIT “The horror is within the idea that when we flee from banality, we escape from everything else that might make life rich and complex. ” – Spectrum Culture May 17, 2024 Full Review LaRoy, Texas (2023) 98% EDIT “This darkly funny tale of hard luck cases, corrupt dimwits and stone-cold killers packs a satisfying punch. ” – Spectrum Culture Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World (2023) 96% EDIT “Do Not Expect plays like an alternate conception of filmmaking that prizes immersion over story and the slow unveiling of truths over the quick reveal. ” – Spectrum Culture Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Red Right Hand (2024) 52% EDIT “With such flat characters, there's nowhere for the story to go that isn't already obvious from the beginning. ” – Spectrum Culture Feb 28, 2024 Full Review She Is Conann (2023) 85% EDIT “An exercise in cinematic maximalism married to narrative minimalism. The storyline is thin, but the sights and sensations are epic. ” – Spectrum Culture Feb 7, 2024 Full Review
