A Great Awakening
(2026)
|
Sarah Vincent
|
the story is appealing in an old fashioned, old orator declaratory fashion, but the story squints aplenty and uses the bombastic style to disguise the pacing issues.

Premarital

director and cowriter Robert Ingraham and cowriter Margaret Bienert’s film may be a bit rushed and over-the-top, but it is the kindest and most aspirational depiction of a secular and Christian family

While "Long Time Listener" is a blast of shallow fun, it did feel like watching a perfect world then dumping a bucket of ice water on it.

Even if viewers do not suffer from the same ailment, Paige’s plight will be relatable to anyone frustrated with the process of seeking help from the health care industry then patronized with doctors’ already tried solutions.

The Serpent's Skin
(2025)
|
Sarah Vincent
|
Though there is more substance than meets the eye in this slight movie, director and cowriter Alice Maio Mackay and cowriter Benjamin Pahl Robinson are leaving money on the table when they prioritize vibes instead of fully fleshing out the world

"The Forbidden City" (2025), originally titled "La Citta Probita," is two hours nineteen minutes and will leave you wanting more. It feels like a new genre, kung fu dark romance, got invented, and it works.

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist

While this documentary beats other documentaries about AI in terms of access, it sacrifices critical thought for entry while shielding itself behind universal sentiment based in primal biological imperatives, i.e. reproduction.

The second installment fixes a lot of the first film’s flaws and delivers what it promises so if you are not expecting a lot, you should be pleased with the result. It is better than the first. Best of all: you do not have to see the first film

Tow

the film’s point is not to center the victim or individuate the neighbors, but to say, "See, this lady who claims to be scared is actually terrorizing a neighborhood. Recognize her true face so you don’t become complicit now or in the future."

If you are not into Charli XCX, it will be harder to get the jokes, but if you can give it grace and remember it is a mockumentary, then you could enjoy it. With so much to do, only Charli XCX fans or fans of the genre should watch it.
