The Long Walk (2025) 88% 2/4 EDIT “The Long Walk? The Long Talk is more like it.” – Washington Post Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The Baltimorons (2025) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “Yet the story manages to put a smile on your face from time to time, despite the gloom of its humor. ” – Washington Post Sep 11, 2025 Full Review East of Wall (2025) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “If “East of Wall” celebrates anything, it’s a kind of beautiful anarchy.” – Washington Post Aug 15, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Yes, it gets complicated, as these things do. But never so tangled that you lose the thread. ” – Washington Post Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Smurfs (2025) 21% 2/4 EDIT “True, but never quite weird enough. “Smurfs” may be all over the multiverse, but it doesn’t land anywhere worth writing home about.” – Washington Post Jul 17, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT ““Dragon” imparts these pearls of wisdom with verve and delight, in a telling that is as visually impressive as it is emotionally stirring.” – Washington Post Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Karate Kid: Legends (2025) 58% 3/4 EDIT ““Karate Kid: Legends” combines the best of all those sequels plus a 2010 remake to contribute a new and worthy chapter to the canon.” – Washington Post May 29, 2025 Full Review Deaf President Now! (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “It’s a manifestation of what change makers all too often run into: ears that are metaphorically deaf to the obvious.” – Washington Post May 19, 2025 Full Review Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) 14% 1.5/4 EDIT “Even some die-hard fans may find themselves wishing for a literal interpretation of the title, because “Hurry Up Tomorrow” can’t end soon enough.” – Washington Post May 19, 2025 Full Review The Encampments (2025) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s a stark and powerful reminder of what the protesters are actually protesting.” – Washington Post Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 40% 1.5/4 EDIT “The film’s climax nevertheless fails to raise much of a heartbeat in this boglike slog through a momentous moment in murderous mob history.” – Washington Post Mar 21, 2025 Full Review October 8 (2024) 63% 2.5/4 EDIT “Without demonizing either side, it shows how Israel’s pattern of mistakes, if not arrogance, may have helped set a pot on the stove that is now boiling over with venom.” – Washington Post Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 79% 2.5/4 EDIT “Much like its characters, Last Breath simply goes about getting the job done, without fuss or fanfare. Maybe no higher praise is necessary.” – Washington Post Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Parthenope (2024) 47% 1.5/4 EDIT “It’s just another of Sorrentino’s many impressionistic vignettes about Naples that don’t add up to much. ” – Washington Post Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% 3/4 EDIT “Sonne delivers a twitchy performance, lurching from meek withdrawal to rage.” – Washington Post Feb 3, 2025 Full Review You're Cordially Invited (2025) 48% 2/4 EDIT ““You’re Cordially Invited” turns out to be less comedy cure than sugar pill.” – Washington Post Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) 98% 2.5/4 EDIT ““Super/Man” is a weeper, to be sure, for the reminder it brings to fans that this Man of Steel was only flesh and blood. ” – Washington Post Oct 10, 2024 Full Review The Front Room (2024) 40% 1.5/5 EDIT ““The Front Room” does at least have farting in common with the family’s oeuvre.” – Washington Post Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Hollywoodgate (2023) 92% 3/4 EDIT ““Hollywoodgate” is a fascinatingly — and sometimes frustratingly — oblique portrait of a country and its people in the tragic grip of extremism. ” – Washington Post Aug 30, 2024 Full Review War Game (2024) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “As a simultaneously slick and provocative entertainment, “War Game” is chilling and a tad infuriating, offering a white-knuckle ride that may feel a bit too fresh in the memory for viewers who are still traumatized by the real thing.” – Washington Post Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Sorry/Not Sorry (2023) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “For the most part, “Sorry” doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know. ” – Washington Post Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT ““Despicable Me 4” is a hallucinatorily imaginative yet overstuffed amalgam of unrelated elements.” – Washington Post Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Flipside (2023) 97% 4/4 EDIT “Every life is a trip, like being on a boat of which you are the captain, the documentary “Flipside” tells us — or, rather, an old man in close-up speaks those words. ” – Washington Post Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Firebrand (2023) 58% 2.5/4 EDIT “A kind of satisfaction ultimately arrives, but it is not one for purists, or even lovers of speculative history.” – Washington Post Jun 14, 2024 Full Review The Keeper (2024) 2/4 EDIT “Plain-spoken, low-budget drama.” – Washington Post May 25, 2024 Full Review
