The Housemaid (2025) 74% B+ EDIT “THE HOUSEMAID swings for the fences and doesn't apologize for foul balls. It knows the movie it is and leans into the campy tone of an unhinged thriller.” – Fangirl Freakout Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% B EDIT “WICKED: FOR GOOD is a magical, emotional conclusion to one of the best musicals of all time.” – Fangirl Freakout Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Poetic License (2025) 90% B EDIT “Poetic License is a hilariously entertaining comedy with an ambitious directorial debut from Maude Apatow and pitch-perfect lead performance from Leslie Mann.” – Fangirl Freakout Sep 20, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% C- EDIT “Despite Dwayne Johnson's mesmerizing performance, The Smashing Machine is a dull biopic that struggles to contextualize its protagonist in the UFC universe. More egregious is Emily Blunt's criminally underdeveloped role. ” – Fangirl Freakout Sep 11, 2025 Full Review I Swear (2025) 100% B- EDIT “I Swear is an entertaining, heartfelt, and downright funny biopic that highlights the humanity in dealing with Tourette Syndrome.” – Fangirl Freakout Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% B+ EDIT “Eternity is an imaginative, entertaining fantasy-romcom, with laugh out loud humor and poignant moments that will trigger a spectrum of emotions... as the best romcoms do. ” – Fangirl Freakout Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% B+ EDIT “Christy Martin always pushed the limit, whether it be in the career she chose, the car she drove, or the people she loved. And the movie’s dedication to highlighting that is what makes it special.” – Fangirl Freakout Sep 6, 2025 Full Review John Candy: I Like Me (2025) 89% B EDIT “Part love letter, part character study, part career retrospective, the documentary does a phenomenal job exploring the beloved comedy icon, showing who he was as a husband, dad, actor-comedian, and friend. ” – Fangirl Freakout Sep 5, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% C+ EDIT “The Roses is a twisted little black comedy with as much bark as there is bite. When the film works, it's hilarious... but when it doesn't, it's a bit of a slog. ” – Fangirl Freakout Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 73% B EDIT “FREAKIER FRIDAY is a delightful, nostalgic adventure that leans into the silliness for the sake of comedy. The cast seemed to be having so much fun filming and that enthusiasm is infectious.” – Fangirl Freakout Aug 8, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% B EDIT “The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a retro-futuristic adventure that at times feels more like a family drama than superhero film. Vanessa Kirby is phenomenal and the beating heart of the film. ” – Fangirl Freakout Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% B+ EDIT “James Gunn's Superman is a welcomed breath of fresh air into the superhero genre, which has been stagnant for too long. It is heartfelt, vibrant, and really wears its heart on its sleeve. Corenswet and Brosnahan's chemistry is off the charts. ” – Fangirl Freakout Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% C- EDIT “Jurassic World Rebirth is one of the most underwhelming installments of the Jurassic Park franchise yet, missing the spark of what makes these movies great.” – Fangirl Freakout Jun 30, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% A- EDIT “Shot completely on iPhones, 28 Years Later is a visceral thrill ride, with gorgeous cinematography, spine-tingling suspense, and elite performances—especially from Jodie Comer. ” – Fangirl Freakout Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% B+ EDIT “Forget bears. Dangerous Animals asks whether you would rather be stuck in the middle of the ocean with a shark or a man. I'll take my chances with the shark. ” – Fangirl Freakout Jun 8, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% C EDIT “Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is the weakest of the eight-film franchise, with an unnecessarily complicated plot that lacks an emotional arc. It almost feels like they forgot what made previous films so great, the camaraderie of the team.” – Fangirl Freakout May 23, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% C+ EDIT “Thunderbolts* is a decent-enough Marvel movie with some slow moments, some action-packed moments, and others that will tug at your heart strings. ” – Fangirl Freakout May 2, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% A EDIT “Part social commentary, part horror, Sinners is at its best when it is bloody and bluesy... and it's super sexy too. The film is a cinematic experience that should be experienced on the big screen. ” – Fangirl Freakout Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% B- EDIT “DROP is reminiscent of movies like Red Eye—simple, taut thrillers that are more interested in keeping an audience entertained than being a cerebral mind-bender. ” – Fangirl Freakout Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 62% B- EDIT “The Gorge is an entertaining romance/horror/survival movie that is perfect for Valentine's Day date night. Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller's chemistry is off the charts!” – Fangirl Freakout Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% A EDIT “COMPANION is a genre-bending horror/sci-fi/comedy/thriller reminiscent of EX MACHINA meets READY OR NOT.” – Fangirl Freakout Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Flight Risk (2025) 29% D EDIT “Flight Risk is a textbook January stinker, with unlikable characters, silly plot points, and Mark Wahlberg as a gum-smacking baddie with a distracting hair situation. ” – Fangirl Freakout Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% A+ EDIT “WICKED: PART I is the cinematic event of the year and a top-tier musical adaptation. Grande and Erivo will blow you away as acting and vocal powerhouses.” – Fangirl Freakout Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% A EDIT “Part musical-romance, part crime-drama, part action-thriller, Emilia Pérez is a magnificent, genre-bending thrill ride that transcends the typical movie construct, breathing a fresh burst of excitement into the way we think about film.” – Fangirl Freakout Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% A EDIT “From its cerebral script to its enigmatic performances from Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East, Heretic has all of the makings to be the next horror classic.” – Fangirl Freakout Sep 11, 2024 Full Review
