Mercy (2026) 23% 2/4 EDIT “By the halfway mark of the screen-popping and kinetic but ultimately tiresome and borderline dopey AI thriller 'Mercy,' I found myself yearning for a wireless mouse so I could log off. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (2026) 100% 3/4 EDIT “While there’s no new ground to be covered—Elizabeth’s captors were long ago brought to justice—it’s still a journalistically thorough and fascinating look back at the story.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 19, 2026 Full Review I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not (2025) 92% 3/4 EDIT “Director Zenovich delivers a gripping, funny, insightful, and at times melancholic look at a comedy legend who is in his 80s and still can be alternately charming and irascible in the span of a New York minute.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 31, 2025 Full Review David (2025) 76% 3/4 EDIT “We settle back and enjoy a well-produced, visually impressive, character-driven fable about the man who would be king.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Not Without Hope (2025) 75% 3/4 EDIT “'Not Without Hope' is a respectful and impactful dramatic interpretation that feels true to the real-life events.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review The Shuffle (2025) 3/4 EDIT “The 40-minute running time feels just right; this isn’t subject matter that merits the Ken Burns treatment, or the 10-part story arc of 'The Last Dance.'” – RogerEbert.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is a beautiful and contemplative film, with lovely messaging and a couple of sly twists.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) 62% 3/4 EDIT “Yeah, it’s a bit messy and self-indulgent, but it’s often great, stupid, harmless fun.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “This latest version makes for enjoyable-enough popcorn entertainment, but ultimately leaves us wondering: was it even necessary?” – RogerEbert.com Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Magazine Dreams (2023) 80% 3/4 EDIT ““Magazine Dreams” is a portrait of a man who is running out of time to get it together lest he fall utterly and tragically apart.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 40% 3/4 EDIT “It’s a privilege to witness one of the best actors of all time, still at the top of his game.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 14% 1.5/4 EDIT ““The Electric State” wants us to believe it has something important to say about technology taking over the world and the pitfalls of prejudice, but it’s a giant serving of empty calories.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is a movie made by and starring artists who clearly love the genre, and aside from the technology, one could see this playing in theaters and pleasing crowds in the 1970s.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 39% 1.5/4 EDIT “Green is clearly talented and delivers consistently arresting visuals, but the messages are delivered with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, and the performances from the skilled cast are often way, way over the top.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 2.5/4 EDIT “Despite the stylish direction from the duo of Dan Berk and Robert Olsen and winning performances by Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder, “Novocaine” sputters to the finish line.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT ““Last Take” is a gut-wrenching reminder of a terrible tragedy that happened because mistakes were up and down the line — mistakes that were easily preventable if only the proper and safe measures had been taken.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Chaos: The Manson Murders (2025) 56% 3/4 EDIT “Morris is a master storyteller who expertly mixes together archival footage, new interviews and jarringly creative elements.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 3/4 EDIT ““Mickey 17” occasionally loses momentum as it hammers home its points, but this is still a uniquely funny and timely tale.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 79% 3/4 EDIT ““Last Breath” maintains a sense of suspense throughout, and delivers a powerful emotional impact in its final scenes.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 55% 3/4 EDIT “Murray’s Boston accent wobbles a bit from time to time, but he and Davidson are hilarious and yet somehow suitably menacing as a couple of killers who will shoot you dead just because you happened to hear their names.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 27, 2025 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Some of the resolutions of this myriad of conflicts and issues are perhaps a bit too tidy, but this is a richly layered and truly moving set piece, with a smart and insightful screenplay and great performances from the ensemble cast.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Millers in Marriage (2024) 53% 3/4 EDIT ““Millers in Marriage” is all about how one navigates the second extended act of one’s adult life.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 21, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “Everyone knows this is a gory B-movie where taste is not an issue, and they play their roles accordingly.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Cleaner (2025) 51% 3/4 EDIT ““Cleaner” is “Die Hard,” just with different people.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 19, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 62% 3/4 EDIT “This is a great-looking movie with star-power leads, and not for a second is any of it even close to being plausible, and we’re just fine with that.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 14, 2025 Full Review
