Hot Water (2026) EDIT “A mother-son road movie more laced with humor than laden with trauma, Hot Water marks a warm and sensitive, if not entirely satisfying, debut feature from Ramzi Bashour.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 23, 2026 Full Review The Currents (2025) 100% EDIT “The elegance and, especially, empathy with which Mumenthaler captures the gaping chasm between how we present and who we are gives the film a voluptuous pull all its own.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Little Sister (2025) 83% EDIT “Vibrantly felt yet impressively controlled -- and blessed with a stone-cold stunner of a central performance -- The Little Sister is indeed an instant classic of the genre, as moving in its humanism as it is sexy. ” – The Hollywood Reporter May 16, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% EDIT “You might find yourself missing rougher edges or regretting an overly cutesy choice here, an on-the-nose touch there. But whatever the movie lacks in surprise or sophistication, it makes up for in sly comic verve and a soulfulness that sticks with you.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% EDIT “... A vivid, superbly acted and directed portrait of psychic pain and its collateral wreckage, filled out with lashes of humor and tiny brush strokes of tenderness.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Ghost Trail (2024) 97% EDIT “Ghost Trail makes it look easy, but the movie walks a tricky line: It’s a juicy piece of entertainment that also engages sincerely with its painful, topical subject matter.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 15, 2024 Full Review Ghostlight (2024) 99% EDIT “Overcomes its clichés and contrivances with heart and humor.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 19, 2024 Full Review His Three Daughters (2023) 97% EDIT “A sharp, tender tale of sisterhood under duress.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Anatomy of a Fall (2023) 96% EDIT “A director and actress in peak form.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 21, 2023 Full Review Passages (2023) 94% EDIT “A wise and unusually wounding work from a beloved indie auteur.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Other People's Children (2022) 91% EDIT “Zlotowski is coloring within the lines here, but with generous strokes of nuance and feeling.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 4, 2022 Full Review Monica (2022) 84% EDIT “The result, alas, doesn’t live up to the promise of the occasion, turning the character’s journey into fodder for a sluggish exercise in formalism.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 3, 2022 Full Review One Fine Morning (2022) 93% EDIT “An immensely satisfying collaboration that finds both auteur and star further solidifying their spots among the greats of their respective fields.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 20, 2022 Full Review Gone in the Night (2022) 44% EDIT “The Cow casts Winona Ryder in a disposable thriller that coasts on the actress’ indefatigable charisma without doing anything to earn it.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 14, 2022 Full Review A Love Song (2022) 95% EDIT “If the film doesn't exactly transcend its familiarity... it succeeds, often with understated magnificence, in finding ways to sidestep it - to make you not mind in the slightest.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Bergman Island (2021) 84% EDIT “Any frustration is neutralized whenever Krieps is onscreen. The actress plays Chris as beguilingly childlike, her feelings and impulses... right at the surface, intensifying and subsiding, arpeggio-like.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 13, 2021 Full Review God's Waiting Room (2021) 86% EDIT “You can almost feel the salty, humid air stick to your skin watching God's Waiting Room, a Florida-set indie about thwarted desires, lives in limbo and violent impulses kept tenuously in check.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Things Heard & Seen (2021) 39% EDIT “Berman and Pulcini's failure to generate suspense becomes problematic during a second half that settles into standard psycho-spouse thriller rhythms with some half-assed ghost-story and feminist elements tossed in.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 29, 2021 Full Review CODA (2021) 94% EDIT “CODA is a radiant, deeply satisfying heartwarmer that more than embraces formula; it locates the pleasure and pureness in it, reminding us of the comforting, even cathartic, gratifications of a feel-good story well told.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 29, 2021 Full Review French Exit (2020) 65% EDIT “A mostly satisfying feast for Pfeiffer fans.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 12, 2020 Full Review The World to Come (2020) 74% EDIT “Much as I admired and was at times stirred by The World to Come, I'm convinced it would be a significantly stronger movie with 75 percent of the narration stripped away.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 6, 2020 Full Review The Rental (2020) 73% EDIT “A small but satisfying slice of indie horror.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 20, 2020 Full Review The King of Staten Island (2020) 76% EDIT “The King of Staten Island is nothing if not conventional in its arc and themes, and has some of the usual Apatow aggravations, but it's winning: relaxed, generous, suffused with warmth and a surprisingly delicate sorrow.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Lorelei (2020) 89% EDIT “An uneven blue-collar melodrama lifted by its leads.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 11, 2020 Full Review Bad Therapy (2020) 7% EDIT “Directed by William Teitler with anonymous functionality yet no trace of spark or wit, Bad Therapy seems to fancy itself très naughty but feels formatted to within an inch of its life...” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 13, 2020 Full Review
