The Friend's House Is Here (2026) 4/5 EDIT “The colorful characters amiably populating this loose, organic film, played by a collective of real-life underground artists and improv actors, are liable to be harassed, fined, arrested or disappeared at any moment.” – Guardian Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Extra Geography (2026) 4/5 EDIT “That it works -- that the dissolution, in all its mundanities and ordinary indignities, is both painfully funny and a punch in the gut -- is credit to Clear and Duggan, both extraordinary finds in their own ways.” – Guardian Jan 25, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) 2/5 EDIT “Where I was put off by The Incomer’s cutesy hijinks, others may find winsome messages on the fickle magic of human connection and the risks of snap judgment. To those people, I wish a pleasant stay on the isle.” – Guardian Jan 25, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 56% 3/5 EDIT “In other words, smart concepts, talented people, solid blueprint. But there is too little risk to rise above its sharp-eyed construction. ” – Guardian Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The History of Concrete (2026) 100% EDIT “As a standalone film, The History of Concrete is consistently laugh-out-loud funny, compelling and surprising, if 20 minutes too long. And, of course, about much more than just concrete.” – Guardian Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 2/5 EDIT “Ella McCay is, first and foremost, a mess -- a clunky collection of incoherent characters and confounding plot that seem to defy basic story logic at every turn, and not in a surprising or intriguing way. ” – Guardian Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Merv (2025) 36% 3/5 EDIT “As it is, Merv is slight and sweet and entirely to expectations. Making a movie about co-parenting a dog is not a bad idea -- though I wouldn’t say it’s a great one, either.” – Guardian Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “You have to respect a sincere commitment to the artform -- if we’re going to amuse ourselves to death, might as well laugh at it.” – Guardian Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Champagne Problems (2025) 72% 2/5 EDIT “For all its waxing poetic on the specific luxury of champagne, no one is pretending this is anything other than a mass market item; the things to hate are also the things to like. One might call a critic’s feelings about it a champagne problem.” – Guardian Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Its primary feat is one of direct, unvarnished honesty, addressing ironies that would feel too neat if they weren’t so poignant and true.” – Guardian Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% 2/5 EDIT “At a too-long two hours, Regretting You is at once mild and bumpy, any momentum jolted by basic hits of mourning or uninspired romance, mechanical delivery and off-timed humor.” – Guardian Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Is This Thing On? starts with a punchline – sad divorced dad stumbles into a bar as a cry for help – and smartly works backward; like a great routine, beneath the jokes lurks something tender, grounded and real.” – Guardian Oct 11, 2025 Full Review Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl (2025) 64% 2/5 EDIT “As a cinema experience, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl at least mirrors the album it celebrates -- rote, tinnily light, with the lazy execution and first-draft quality of someone up against a deadline.” – Guardian Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3/5 EDIT “I went in braced for success montages, leaden flashbacks and capital-R Realizations, and at times met them. But more often I was won over by its diversions in form -- its specificities, its smallness and its portrait of mental fragility.” – Guardian Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% 2/5 EDIT “Anemone certainly looks serious... The tools to back up that style with emotional punches that land like the real ones of the brothers are not yet refined.” – Guardian Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Swiped (2025) 44% 3/5 EDIT “The history of how online dating went from deeply uncool to de rigueur is one worth telling, and Swiped’s methods, corny and contrived as they can be, are proficient enough to do it.” – Guardian Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Wrong Paris (2025) 67% 2/5 EDIT “The Wrong Paris, written by Nicole Henrich and directed by Janeen Damian, somehow serves the synthetic sugar of both The Bachelor and the Hallmark movie without any sweetness. The formula is there, but not the flavor.” – Guardian Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 85% 2/5 EDIT “One wishes that Ohs or his actors, Charli included, tapped a little more into a suggested undercurrent of intense, simmering emotion, particularly for two friends with an allegedly combustible bond. But maybe that’s for next time; this was just practice.” – Guardian Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Splitsville may take shots at the loose-boundaried, but they’re laced with truth: partnered or single, open or closed, we’re all working with the same raw material.” – Guardian Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Inconsistent but never insubstantial, Materialists is far from perfect, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of a date.” – Guardian Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “For all its silly and surreal flourishes, Friendship keeps a beating heart.” – Guardian Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Rivals of Amziah King (2025) 97% 2/5 EDIT “There’s a nagging dissonance to the Rivals of Amziah King, which espouses a particular idealized vision of the US ramshackle bolted to a undercooked and bizarrely paced crime plot of dubious rationalization. ” – Guardian Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Just enough flourishes, an enjoyable but not unbearable amount of stress, no wasted time, a perfect match of star, script and style. For those who sort for lean and limber in their thrillers, Drop is a date worth making.” – Guardian Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% 2/5 EDIT “In practice, it squanders the talents of its star, especially for this particular brand of unsettling, on a bizarrely paced script that adds up to nothing.” – Guardian Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Death of a Unicorn clocks in at under two hours, but feels longer, its inherent silliness not matched with the necessary self-awareness, chemistry or fun.” – Guardian Mar 9, 2025 Full Review
