Tow (2025) 80% EDIT “Tow is attempting to tie a pretty bow around systemic inequities and late-stage capitalism... [it's] like if the Dardenne brothers attempted to make a sitcom.” – In Review Online Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% EDIT “[Hard] to reconcile its broadly comedic early scenes, as well as its stylistic elasticity... with its po-faced sincerity... Slanted feels caught between two worlds, but probably not in the way it intended.” – In Review Online Mar 12, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “What this film ultimately recalls more than anything... is Joker: Folie à Deux. Like that overconfident dud, The Bride! is but another handsome-looking, deeply stupid film from a filmmaker whose reach exceeds their grasp.” – In Review Online Mar 5, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% EDIT “How to Make a Killing is stuck between stations, retaining the cavalier attitude toward murder of the earlier film while failing to iterate on its gallows humor or derive comedic inspiration from the prescient theme of large failsons ruining the world.” – In Review Online Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% EDIT “Layton is an able mimic, and in Crime 101 he steals from the best... but in truth the entire film could be couched as Michael Mann cosplay.” – In Review Online Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “After wandering the wilderness himself for a number of years, it’s a profound comfort to have Raimi back doing what he does best.” – In Review Online Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% EDIT “Like the religion it depicts... [The Testament of Ann Lee] is perhaps destined to inspire a small but devout following of those able to reconcile its incongruities and imperfections.” – In Review Online Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% EDIT “The Housemaid is never dull, but then neither is a flaming car on the side of the road. And there’s a similar morbid, gawking quality to observing this collection of artists valiantly trying to resuscitate the erotic thriller.” – In Review Online Dec 20, 2025 Full Review La Grazia (2025) 84% EDIT “[It] helps that Sorrentino prevails as one of cinema’s preeminent stylists, and his ethos remains "what if this scene were actually the best scene of the film?" — an ethos that is applied across nearly every scene of [La Grazia].” – In Review Online Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 49% EDIT “[This] stripped-down, back-to-basics, spooky chamber drama is probably the exact sort of zag a filmmaker like Perkins should be making... but the director should leave viewers guessing a little more next time.” – In Review Online Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 71% EDIT “Living down to the filmmaker’s reputation, Nuremberg is marred by a smirking patness.” – In Review Online Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 94% EDIT “[Train Dreams is] the stuff of bromides, yes, but the film’s sincerity and commitment to the restlessness of the human condition... has an integrity to it that transcends greeting card sentiments.” – In Review Online Nov 9, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “The film positions itself as a journey of self-discovery, but there’s scarcely any room for exploration or uncovering of ideas that don’t dovetail with its themes or the self-pitying disposition of its subject.” – In Review Online Oct 7, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 71% EDIT “There’s no real reason for the film to be as arm’s length as it is toward its subject... The Smashing Machine is portraiture without perspective.” – In Review Online Oct 1, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 37% EDIT “In spite of all its adornments, [A Big Bold Beautiful Journey] remains a brightly colored carnival ride on a straight track; no forks, dips, or sharp curves to be found.” – In Review Online Sep 24, 2025 Full Review In the Hand of Dante (2025) 43% EDIT “In the Hand of Dante is almost cruelly designed in a way that seems destined to please no one. Interested in a meditative period drama? What about a sleazy airport novel? Well, here’s a film that does both, but neither especially well!” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Americana (2025) 62% EDIT “If ever there were a time when attention was laser focused on this cast, it’s now. That said... a dog is still a dog — and Americana has fleas.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% EDIT “Pick a lane: you can do Guy Ritchie or you can do Cormac McCarthy, but you can’t do both at the same time.” – In Review Online Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% EDIT “Covino possesses a real talent for directing actors as a waltz with the camera. Coupled with a drum-tight structure... and you have something that feels like a model for how to make a modern comedy. ” – In Review Online Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “The film first and foremost is a yarn... [and] plays like an urban legend, passed from generation to generation where the details have been dulled over time but the general thrust of it remains indelible.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% EDIT “[A] manic, flop-sweating farce... The primary takeaway [of Oh, Hi!] ultimately ends up being to question whether anyone involved with the production has ever met a fully-functioning, adult human before.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% EDIT “Together wants you to think very much about what this all means but, at the same time, not very deeply about it.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review 28 Weeks Later (2007) 73% EDIT “Stranger, more diffuse, and less wedded to conventional notions of realism and regularly occurring jump scares than its predecessors... [although] no film in recent memory has been more deserving of an “incomplete” grade.” – In Review Online Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Gonzo Girl (2023) 59% EDIT “Gonzo Girl ultimately boasts all the thematic heft and staying power of an Us Weekly article.” – In Review Online Jun 13, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% EDIT “The Life of Chuck isn't unpleasant exactly, but it is a bit like spending 110 minutes in the greeting card aisle of a pharmacy.” – In Review Online Jun 9, 2025 Full Review
