Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s funny and absorbing and familiar without being derivative; it gets the job done. But there’s nevertheless something grinding and mechanical about a film that means to be a tribute to the supple, subtle qualities of the human spirit.” – Toronto Star Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “Call it “The Rules of the Most Dangerous Game,” and give the film’s creative brain trust credit for wringing a few witty, grisly variations on the same old, same old. They’re aided hugely by Weaving, a legitimate scream queen.” – Toronto Star Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Love That Remains (2025) 94% EDIT “Its frightening, hilarious final image suggests a state of anxious suspension commensurate with Pálmason’s own marvellous directorial balancing act.” – Sight & Sound Mar 13, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “Gyllenhaal, at least, seems to be having a good time... It’s nice to see a filmmaker trying to surprise her audience as well as herself. ” – The Ringer Mar 12, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 73% EDIT “Undertone plugs into our doomscrolling zeitgeist with aplomb; it’s a skillful exercise in ambient room-tone dread. But it’s not much more than that, which is to say it’ll do until the next supposedly scariest movie ever comes along.” – The Ringer Mar 12, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s got the courage of its convictions, cynical though they may be.” – Toronto Star Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% EDIT “Robbie and Elordi are beautiful camera subjects and capable movie stars but may as well be Masterpiece Theatre action figures (or Barbie dolls) given how clumsily they’re wielded here. ” – The Ringer Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 63% EDIT “This generic supernatural slasher is perhaps too reflexive for its own good, but Dafne Keen and Sophie Nélisse's tentative queer romance adds some freshness. ” – Sight & Sound Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3/4 EDIT ““Send Help” isn’t realistic, but its pleasures as a B movie made by an A-plus entertainer are authentic nevertheless.” – Toronto Star Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% EDIT “A high concept brought low by middling execution; an allegory about our tendency to rush to judgment made without conviction. But not without its pleasures, guilty or otherwise. ” – The Ringer Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 82% EDIT “Father Mother Sister Brother is a throwaway that’s also a keepsake.” – The New Republic Jan 16, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “It might seem silly to invoke The Lord of the Rings as a point of comparison, but Garland and Boyle -- and now DaCosta -- are working in a similarly mythic, epic register.” – The Ringer Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 92% 3/4 EDIT “If “Dead Man’s Wire” feels more like a modest triumph of engineering than a major artistic statement, there’s still plenty of virtue in seeing a job well done.” – Toronto Star Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/4 EDIT “It’s hard to say if it’d be a better movie with a more evolved approach. Metaphors for grief and trauma are all well and good, but sometimes, a rabid chimpanzee is just a rabid chimpanzee: the fundamental things apply.” – Toronto Star Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The fact Stewart doesn’t quite stick the landing scarcely matters when her debut represents such a real and agile leap of faith in the first place.” – Toronto Star Jan 8, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “The story is set in 2003, a period expertly evoked via strategic scattering of vintage track suits and portable CD players. But its grim vision of masculinity toxifying in real time gives it the feeling of a movie of the moment.” – The Ringer Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (1997) 41% EDIT “The challenge with poking fun at the original Anaconda -- even in the form of an affectionate, scare-quoted homage -- is that it’s already in on its own joke.” – The Ringer Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Riddle Of Fire (2023) 79% EDIT “Weston Razooli's retro-styled debut is a patchy but sincere tween adventure film following a group of kids on a surreal mission to procure a blueberry pie in exchange for the password of their parents’ smart TV.” – Sight & Sound Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Sasquatch Sunset (2024) 71% EDIT “A family of sasquatches must contend with harsh weather, dangerous predators, and existential dread in the Zellner Brothers’ smart cryptozoological satire. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 30, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “Whatever else one can say about No Other Choice, it is a formidable and frequently gobsmacking exercise in craft.” – Reverse Shot Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “Fastvold is willing to take her material over the top. But it belongs there, and at a moment when so many big-ticket movies feel earthbound, The Testament of Ann Lee deserves credit for at least trying to defy gravity.” – Toronto Star Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “If one measure of a successful period piece is that it’s hard to imagine the people on-screen scrolling through TikTok, Marty Supreme feels genuinely transporting. ” – The Ringer Dec 23, 2025 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% EDIT “Despite an affecting central performance from Lupita Nyong’o and some thrilling action sequences, this apocalyptic origin story feels thin. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 22, 2025 Full Review The Devil's Bath (2024) 91% EDIT “That The Devil’s Bath is a tough movie to watch is a testimony to its makers’ talents, as well as their real and ruthless sense of principle. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 22, 2025 Full Review The Crow (2024) 22% EDIT “Rupert Sanders’ lifeless remake of the cult 1994 resurrection thriller fails to whip up any sense of passion between its two leads, Bill Skarsgard and FKA Twigs.” – Sight & Sound Dec 19, 2025 Full Review
