Imagine (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a wild, wonderful, often abstract ride...sometimes more aesthetically in line with an art gallery installation.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Worldbreaker (2025) 50% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Brad Anderson is less interested in overstating the creature feature tropes of his premise and more at ease with the family dynamic.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “So much of Sam Raimi’s first film in four years is such a funny, fierce gender arm-wrestle that when it starts to derail in the final act, audience goodwill all but drags it over the finish line.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Melania (2026) 6% 1/5 EDIT “This is not a film concerned at all with the America of today; it is propaganda that serves the formation of a future non-democracy.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 17% 2.5/5 EDIT “Gans and his co-writers layer their narrative (tragic love story; really haunted memories; witch-cult abuse) like game designers Konami layered their game play, but only one nails the experience.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Signing Tony Raymond (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Owen exhibits a depth of understanding for his working class characters (notably a terrific Mira Sorvino as the damaged but determined mom) and sharp wit in his takedown of principle-free college ‘ball big business.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 2.5/5 EDIT “The energy it spends entirely ignoring that it presents a near future American society diametrically inverted to the existing Constitutional democracy (at least, at time of writing) is quite remarkable and hugely disappointing.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Glendora (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Armand’s work offers a Wiseman-like tour-de-force of observational cinematic storytelling; one never senses her camera is intrusive, but the images it captures are indelibly insightful.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Grotesquely ambitious ping-ponger ‘Marty Mauser’ is exactly the fidgety, shouty, sexy, toxic character that is an actor’s dream, and Chalamet goes all in on the acne-scarred young man’s anxiety-inducing geographical and emotional odyssey.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Raja Saab (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Telugu superstar Prabhas shoehorns his appeal into this ill-fitting vehicle, a low-brow pitch to his legion of fans that hurls broad comedy, half-baked horror tropes and laptop special effects with little concern for coherence or character.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 4.5/5 EDIT “If cinema is the only real artform for the masses, then surely SONG SUNG BLUE is the artform at its purest. Isn’t that what Oscar recognises?” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dickinson indulges in some showy movie moments in the final few minutes, unnecessarily at odds with the gritty street-level realism of all that goes before.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Michôd doesn’t rebuild the sports drama genre with his often conventional handling of the material, but nor does he miss the heart and soul of Martin’s story.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Flat Girls (2025) 5/5 EDIT “Few films this year will capture the tenderness of friendship and complexity of coming-of-age like FLAT GIRLS. ” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “Cameron’s third space opera/neo-western saga reps the longest running time, thinnest plotting and most risible dialogue of the franchise, while managing to reduce his once cutting-edge visual flair to its most generic baseline functionality.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “[A] remarkably joyous film, a love letter that captures not just the energy of the day-to-day production of BREATHLESS but also the foundations of the legacy it has forged.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 16, 2025 Full Review David (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “DAVID is an admirably ambitious production, but its overstuffed narrative robs it of any sense of wonder.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Addition (2024) 2/5 EDIT “It’s all negligible melodrama, until Grace decides to cure her mental illness with a good apartment clean-out, and things turn offensively simple-minded.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Call it a Christmas miracle, but Mike P. Nelson’s reboot of this all-but-forgotten slasher franchise is just what the PG-diluted horror genre needs right now.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 2.5/5 EDIT “Brooks was one of the driving intellectual and creative forces behind ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’, arguably the greatest career woman character arc of all time; where’s that guy?” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 12, 2025 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% 3.5/5 EDIT “It is never quite the sum of its parts, but THE CARPENTER’S SON is an earnest, occasionally brilliant, often brutal depiction of faith and family.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Twiggy (2024) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Sadie Frost’s celebration of the ‘60s pop culture icon is a sweet, slight profile that, much like Lesley ‘Twiggy’ Lawson herself, peaks very early on.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 4.5/5 EDIT “Most importantly, writer-director Vanderbilt’s epic yet intimate dramatic thriller ultimately affords each historic figure the filmic legacy their actions deserve.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Dec 6, 2025 Full Review This Ordinary Thing (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Davis has an artist’s touch, finding humanity in horror and deep empathy in the grainy grading of his frames. A profoundly potent use of words and images.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Nov 28, 2025 Full Review Kokuho (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Lee’s staging of classic Kabuki productions, the passionate commitment of the entire cast...and the glorious designs of costumers Kumiko Ogawa and Kazuo Matsuda are never not breathtaking.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Nov 28, 2025 Full Review
