Shelter (2026) 62% C+ EDIT “Schlocky yet tangible, Shelter is Waugh’s bargain-bin take on a Bourne-style supersoldier, thrust back into a life he left behind.” – AV Club Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% D+ EDIT “Somehow, the laborious and forgettable action-comedy isn't dumb enough.” – AV Club Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 17% D- EDIT “Goofy and low-rent, it’s a dire look at what happens when you can’t leave the past behind—whether you’re a horror game character or a video game movie filmmaker.” – AV Club Jan 22, 2026 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% B EDIT “The hilarious and affecting Thai ghost story is an assured and absurd debut.” – AV Club Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 51% D+ EDIT “A once clear and stupid-clever disaster, having stewed for half a decade, has curdled into a schmaltzy post-apocalypse.” – AV Club Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% B- EDIT “It’s the young cast, filled with up-and-comers like Everett Blunck, who make this anxiety-inducing look at pubescent social structures so thrilling—and so brutal.” – AV Club Dec 28, 2025 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 89% A- EDIT “Resurrection strips its audience down and builds them back up again, revealing how we change the art we make, and how it changes us in turn.” – AV Club Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% C EDIT “Despite its relative formal boldness, The Chronology Of Water is as ineffectively elliptical and muttery as Stewart’s first short film.” – AV Club Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% F EDIT “Whatever crass simplicity there once was to the concept of "Chuck E. Cheese that kills you," it has been crushed to death by narrative add-ons, plot gimmicks, and heavy-duty incompetence.” – AV Club Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 35% D- EDIT “Exclamation points would be false advertising for this holiday disaster.” – AV Club Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% B EDIT “More quaintly focused than the exuberant previous film...Wake Up Dead Man agreeably seeks answers both existential and earthly.” – AV Club Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Thoughts & Prayers (2025) 90% EDIT “It’s objectively ridiculous and vulgar, and the filmmakers mostly allow the interview subjects to stew in their own damning words.” – AV Club Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 52% C EDIT “A straightforward two-hander whose big genre pivots are as dull as its rote premise.” – AV Club Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% C- EDIT “It takes dedication to make a dull movie where Nicolas Cage plays Joseph and Jesus gets into a fistfight with Satan, but The Carpenter’s Son sets to its task with devotion, if little else.” – AV Club Nov 11, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% C- EDIT “The forgettable, unimaginative Netflix animation bobbles its themes and keeps its aspirations small.” – AV Club Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% B+ EDIT “Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han's film is both a fantastical memoir and precocious coming-of-age story, one that doesn’t need to venture past threenage.” – AV Club Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% C EDIT “Any subtlety found in the kind of schlubby, sharp-tongued, purgatorial storytelling that Osbourne favors gets trumped by Berger’s over-stylized simplicity.” – AV Club Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% C- EDIT “The countless genre clichés helps the film avoid being merely detestable and approach the sublimely ridiculous.” – AV Club Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% B- EDIT “Debut director Harris Dickinson finds a perfectly hangdog lead to elevate his standard, realist homelessness drama.” – AV Club Oct 17, 2025 Full Review The Twits (2025) 50% D+ EDIT “The Twits is exactly what one might imagine a Netflix Dahl adaptation to be: Diluted, simplistic animation, as cloying and feckless and smoothed over as anything from the last decade of Illumination films.” – AV Club Oct 17, 2025 Full Review John Candy: I Like Me (2025) 89% C EDIT “Colin Hanks' doc eulogizes the late Canadian comedy legend with a series of blandly sweet remembrances.” – AV Club Oct 10, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% B EDIT “Like the distance its sprinters dash over and over again, it’s predictable—even mundane at times. But also like those short bursts of all-out adrenaline, it can be transcendent in the moment.” – AV Club Oct 9, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% B EDIT “The documentary uses bodycam footage to capture the inevitable, racist, deeply American murder at its heart.” – AV Club Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) 82% B+ EDIT “Peck’s piercing nonfiction has previously given voice to the dead and the dismissed, but now uses one of West’s most acclaimed and quoted novelists to lay bare its persistent sins.” – AV Club Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% C EDIT “The Smashing Machine deadens its retold story of early mixed martial arts fighter Mark Kerr with stilted reenactments and endless injections of numbing drama.” – AV Club Oct 2, 2025 Full Review
