The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) 49% 5/10 EDIT “While there are some glimmers of potential in Assayas’s Putin drama The Wizard of the Kremlin, the film lacks the momentum and sharpness to be anything more than a dull historical drama.” – FandomWire May 13, 2026 Full Review Driver's Ed (2025) 72% 6/10 EDIT “Within [the Farrelly Brothers'] post-separation filmographies, which have yielded decidedly mixed results, Bobby Farrelly’s third film is a likable, if entirely forgettable, outing.” – FandomWire May 13, 2026 Full Review Is God Is (2026) 97% 5/10 EDIT “There are certainly things to like about Is God Is — namely excellent performances by Sterling K. Brown and Vivica A. Fox — but the movie as a whole ends up a disappointment.” – FandomWire May 11, 2026 Full Review RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) 39% 5/10 EDIT “It’s just as trashy, politically incorrect, and melodramatic as those movies from the ‘70s that you might have discovered on VHS. And for what it’s worth, that seems to be the exact vibe that RZA is going for.” – FandomWire Apr 30, 2026 Full Review Orangutan (2026) 5/10 EDIT “Although the cinematography is great as ever and there are enough cute and heartwarming moments to keep this from being a total wash, it’s simply too similar to other nature documentaries we have seen recently.” – FandomWire Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% 7/10 EDIT “It’s not an accessible work, nor is it a great entry point to the filmography of David Lowery. However, for those who are already attuned to Lowery’s ways, it’s sure to be an intriguing, if perplexing, watch.” – FandomWire Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Hunting Matthew Nichols (2024) 88% 6/10 EDIT “It’s competent and well-made, which is a lot more than can be said about a lot of modern horror pictures.” – FandomWire Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 95% 7/10 EDIT “Work by Ian McKellen that verges on the storied actor’s best keeps this from feeling like a mass-produced print.” – FandomWire Apr 6, 2026 Full Review Our Hero, Balthazar (2025) 94% 7/10 EDIT “It’s incredibly easy to see the vision behind Our Hero, Balthazar, and while it’s not quite focused or tightly wound enough to achieve all of its ambitious swings, it should be praised for even trying to make those swings in the first place.” – FandomWire Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Fantasy Life (2025) 81% 6/10 EDIT “Thanks to predictably great turns from its star-studded cast, Matthew Shear’s film is charming despite its familiarity, and for a 90-minute movie, you could ask for much worse.” – FandomWire Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 76% 7/10 EDIT “While it would have been stronger had there been more excitement in the first half, the back half more than makes up for it with some incredibly propulsive, fun action that will have you laughing and on the edge of your seat.” – FandomWire Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Sender (2026) 53% 5/10 EDIT “You can tell that there is something special beneath the surface in Sender, as there are enough glimpses of really interesting filmmaking throughout. However, the final product is just too messy and scattered to be fully effective.” – FandomWire Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Wishful Thinking (2026) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Although it doesn’t fully deliver on the promise of its creative premise, Wishful Thinking is the type of romantic comedy that’s hard not to fall in love with, if only out of the strength of its two lead performances.” – FandomWire Mar 22, 2026 Full Review The Fox (2026) 7/10 EDIT “Although it isn’t as original as it seems to think it is, The Fox works as a satire because of a wicked sense of dark humor, a stellar cast, and an abundance of style.” – FandomWire Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Love Language (2026) 6/10 EDIT “If you’re a fan of rom-coms and are looking for something straightforward but charming and well-made, Joey Power’s film delivers an enjoyable, funny, and heartwarming experience.” – FandomWire Mar 22, 2026 Full Review The Saviors (2026) 67% 3/10 EDIT “That’s not to say that anti-Arab discrimination has gone away, but it feels like we are past needing satires that stop at saying "maybe all Muslims aren’t terrorists," and instead need films to interrogate the systems that got us to that point.” – FandomWire Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Power Ballad (2026) 87% 7/10 EDIT “Its sincere heart shines through in the script, performances, and music in a way that you can’t help but love.” – FandomWire Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 85% 9/10 EDIT “Pete Ohs’ Erupcja, is a wonderfully quaint indie drama that is filled to the brim with quiet emotion.” – FandomWire Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Mile End Kicks (2025) 88% 5/10 EDIT “Chandler Levack attempts to recapture the awkwardly charming lightning-in-a-bottle of her debut in her second film, Mile End Kicks, but the characters here are just so unlikeable that the film becomes hard to enjoy.” – FandomWire Mar 19, 2026 Full Review DreamQuil (2026) 36% 2/10 EDIT “Despite having all the pieces in place for this to be a solid sci-fi satire... it ends up being one of the most bafflingly bad misfires to (dis)grace the festival circuit this side of Poolman.” – FandomWire Mar 19, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 9/10 EDIT “They Will Kill You is one of the best action movies this side of John Wick: Chapter 2, featuring show-stopping fight choreography and an abundance of epic gore.” – FandomWire Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 68% 6/10 EDIT “Over Your Dead Body is rather uneven but has enough funny and disturbing moments to be mostly effective as a dark comedy.” – FandomWire Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Crash Land (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Crash Land is a film that knows its audience. If you are a twenty-something dude reveling in nostalgia for the glory days of your teenage years, this is sure to land in a way that will have you laughing and maybe even wiping away a few tears.” – FandomWire Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Seekers of Infinite Love (2026) 80% 6/10 EDIT “Seekers of Infinite Love coasts on the charm of its cast to deliver a moderately enjoyable comedy, even when its script leaves something to be desired.” – FandomWire Mar 18, 2026 Full Review He Bled Neon (2026) 5/10 EDIT “Drew Kirsch’s He Bled Neon is shockingly a drag because of a screenplay that can’t settle on its tone or escape from the shadow of its inspirations.” – FandomWire Mar 18, 2026 Full Review
