Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) 92% B+ EDIT “Deepfaking Sam Altman is less about Sam Altman than it is about us; our desire for guidance, our comfort with proxies, and our willingness to engage with synthetic voices when human ones fall silent.” – InSession Film Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Shuffle (2025) 100% EDIT “Ultimately, Shuffle is a sharply reported exposé and a deeply personal reckoning. It asks difficult questions about how society treats addiction, who benefits from recovery, and what happens when care becomes commerce.” – InSession Film Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (2026) 100% B EDIT “Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart challenges the conventions of true-crime storytelling and, in doing so, sets a higher standard for how stories of trauma are told.” – InSession Film Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Breakdown: 1975 (2025) 77% B EDIT “For cinephiles and casual viewers alike, Breakdown: 1975 offers a lucid, engaging reminder that the movies are often at their most alive when the world around them is falling apart.” – InSession Film Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story (2025) B+ EDIT “This story is less about one woman than about the fragility of safeguards around care, authority, and belief. It is a sober, unsettling documentary that asks viewers to question not only who they listen to, but why.” – InSession Film Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Lilly (2024) 58% B+ EDIT “In a world where 148 economic countries have gender pay gaps, and women earn less for doing the same job as a man, this film is an important reminder not to be complacent and to stand up for what you deserve.” – InSession Film Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Drink and Be Merry (2025) C EDIT “In its modest way, the film captures something true about the season: that sometimes the best we can do is gather in a place that feels familiar, raise a glass, and make it through together.” – InSession Film Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% B+ EDIT “The Choral is a film for those who enjoy the war genre, but instead of seeing bullets and battlefields, see what it was like for those back home. ” – InSession Film Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The New Yorker at 100 (2025) 64% B+ EDIT “The New Yorker at 100 is an informative, engaging, and well-crafted tribute to a singular publication.” – InSession Film Dec 6, 2025 Full Review A Very Flattened Christmas (2024) 2.5/5 EDIT “While the killer’s costume —a Santa suit with an animal head—is creepy, it needed to be more exaggerated and extravagant to match the film’s ridiculousness. ” – Ready Steady Cut Oct 26, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Willa Fitzgerald’s portrayal of a sexually charged, vulnerable soul with a dark side is outstanding. ” – Ready Steady Cut Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Fern Brady: Autistic Bikini Queen (2024) 3/5 EDIT “From all the glamour and fancy editing I’ve seen in recent specials, it’s refreshing to see one that strips it back to basics — a comic performing to an audience and hoping to make them laugh, with no need for props. ” – Ready Steady Cut Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Amar Singh Chamkila (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “With the upbeat music, drumming sections, and soulful singers, each scene is a small artistic masterpiece.” – Ready Steady Cut Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Tearsmith (2024) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Overall, The Tearsmith is a teen romance suitable for younger audiences who aren’t old enough to know any better. ” – Ready Steady Cut Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Demetri Martin: Demetri Deconstructed (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Demetri Martin: Demetri Deconstructed is a one-of-a-kind stand-up special, and while I wasn’t laughing out loud, his style makes me intrigued for his next one.” – Ready Steady Cut Apr 2, 2024 Full Review The Wages of Fear (2024) 20% 3/5 EDIT “I enjoyed the female characters (being a female myself), and the romantic aspects in the film do not take away from the plot, but give it a bit of spice.” – Ready Steady Cut Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Rest in Peace (2024) 88% 2.5/5 EDIT “Whilst there are points where Rest in Peace feels disjointed and slightly dragged out, it offers a good amount of suspense and will keep you invested.” – Ready Steady Cut Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Shirley (2024) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “King’s performance is mesmerizing.” – Ready Steady Cut Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Brian Simpson: Live from the Mothership (2024) 2.5/5 EDIT “His voice is so monotone I sometimes found myself zoning out. Simpson’s comedy shines when he uses some enthusiasm and audience participation; building the energy in the room.” – Ready Steady Cut Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Murder Mubarak (2024) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “The costumes and set design are lavish and I loved the bright colours and extravagance of it all. Visually, this film is stunning. The music is bouncy, and whimsical, and certainly helps emphasize the comedy.” – Ready Steady Cut Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Steve Treviño: Simple Man (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Trevino’s work is inoffensive, relatable, and easy to watch. If you’re looking for something to make you laugh and distract you from everyday life for an hour, this comedy special is made for you.” – Ready Steady Cut Mar 12, 2024 Full Review My Name Is Loh Kiwan (2024) 57% 3/5 EDIT “My Name is Loh Kiwan is a sad, heavy film to watch, it throws a lot at you as a viewer and expects you to listen, concentrate, and feel.” – Ready Steady Cut Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Mike Epps: Ready to Sell Out (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “In this stand-up special, Mike Epps demonstrates why he is considered one of the most talented comedians of his generation, and why his work will stand the test of time.” – Ready Steady Cut Feb 20, 2024 Full Review A Soweto Love Story (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “If you’re looking for a film that’s filled with fun, family, and romance, then A Soweto Love Story is the one for you. ” – Ready Steady Cut Feb 14, 2024 Full Review The Heartbreak Agency (2024) 2/5 EDIT “The Heartbreak Agency is a predictable and dull rom-com. The plot isn’t well devised and is a stretch from reality, making it hard to relate to and agree with.” – Ready Steady Cut Feb 14, 2024 Full Review
