Frank & Louis (2026) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Rather than relying on familiar beats of guilt, repentance, and absolution, Frank & Louis grounds its story in quiet observation and human connection, offering a more restrained and emotionally resonant take on what redemption can look like behind bars.” – Black Girl Nerds Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% 5/5 EDIT “This film does more than preserve history, it contextualizes it. Showing how these thinkers and creators laid the groundwork that continues to shape cultural discourse today.” – Black Girl Nerds Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Laundry (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “Regardless of how deep your knowledge runs when it comes to South African apartheid, you will be captivated by the events that unfold, all while your heart aches in each act.” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Youngblood (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “The choreography is sharp, the camera tight, the hits unflinching. Davis films the game like a war zone, where each shift is a test of endurance and every drop of blood a marker of sacrifice. ” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Steal Away (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “With 'Steal Away', Virgo confirms his willingness to push beyond conventional boundaries, crafting a film that is as visually intoxicating as it is thematically slippery.” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Man in My Basement (2025) 40% 3.5/5 EDIT “What sets The Man in My Basement apart is its willingness to wrestle with big, uncomfortable questions. At its heart, the film is about power — who has it, how it’s wielded, and the damage it inflicts.” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 9, 2025 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The film’s most powerful moments come not from the mechanics of the con, but from the intimate exchanges between artist and forger, father and surrogate child. ” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “What makes DaCosta’s take so compelling is her refusal to soften Hedda. Tessa Thompson’s performance resists any temptation to render her sympathetic. This Hedda is unforgiveable and undefendable, yet mesmerizing.” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 9, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Instead of racing to tie into a larger Marvel narrative, it builds its own identity, powered by rich character work, stylish design, and a deep understanding of what makes this team so enduring.” – Black Girl Nerds Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “It speaks to today’s world without abandoning the timeless appeal of Superman’s symbol. This story is a timeless classic about purpose, heart, and a hero who inspires.” – Black Girl Nerds Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Long Live the State (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “What makes Long Live The State exceptional is its dual achievement: It honors a group that helped shape modern American comedy while simultaneously reminding us how fragile and vital collaborative artistic expression really is.” – Black Girl Nerds Jun 9, 2025 Full Review New Jack Fury (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “'New Jack Fury' is an action-comedy that is completely self-aware of its hokeyness and absurdity and honestly, that’s what makes this film entertaining and captivating. ” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 14, 2025 Full Review The Makings of Curtis Mayfield (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “H.E.R.’s touch is evident throughout, making the film feel less like a traditional documentary and more like an intimate conversation between musical generations. You can tell that this was personal for her. ” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Ash (2025) 71% 3/5 EDIT “'Ash' is for fans of psychological sci-fi horror. With gripping performances, a relentless atmosphere, and a story that permeates, this film is a triumphant blend of fear, memory, identity, and survival.” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 11, 2025 Full Review The Dutchman (2025) 57% 4/5 EDIT “'The Dutchman' is an incredible examination of race, power, and identity with these characters and how all of these dynamics come into play.” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 9, 2025 Full Review O'Dessa (2025) 38% 3.5/5 EDIT “ This is a film about identity, artistic legacy, and the power of music to inspire change. It’s a thrilling, hypnotic ride that dares to be different, wearing its operatic ambitions proudly.” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 4/5 EDIT “'Captain America: Brave New World' takes bold swings in redefining what it means to carry the shield and it sticks the landing. ” – Black Girl Nerds Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Lurker (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “'Lurker' is a chilling, slow-burn thriller that unearths the dark side of fandom, where admiration turns into obsession and loyalty becomes a dangerous game of manipulation.” – Black Girl Nerds Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 39% 3.5/5 EDIT “'Opus' is an intriguing film with a lot to say about the state of the pop culture fandom, integrity in journalism and how the two intersect. But most importantly, what do we do when we cross that intersection? ” – Black Girl Nerds Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Love, Brooklyn (2025) 69% 4/5 EDIT “'Love, Brooklyn' is a poignant celebration of life’s impermanence, the bonds that sustain us, and the unshakable connection between people and place. ” – Black Girl Nerds Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Ricky (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “It’s a story that lingers, not just for its heartbreaking realism but for its resounding awareness of what’s wrong with our justice system” – Black Girl Nerds Jan 25, 2025 Full Review The Piano Lesson (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “'The Piano Lesson' with its clever writing, stunning performances and flawless cinematography is a movie that I have no doubt that August Wilson himself would be proud to see magnified on the big screen.” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 11, 2024 Full Review The Fire Inside (2024) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Fire Inside is a story that isn’t afraid to tell the truth of what it looks like when someone makes the wrong choices. It is smart for telling the story this way and it’s one that sticks with you.” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 55% 4.5/5 EDIT “'Riff Raff' is a film that will keep you entertained from beginning to end. Tons of humor, great story, hilarious performances and a movie that bears repeat viewings. ” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Unstoppable (2024) 77% 4/5 EDIT “The movie 'Unstoppable' is a true tear-jerker, heartwarming, inspiring and the kind of sports film with a universal theme that anyone can relate to. ” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 7, 2024 Full Review
