3.5/4
The Sheep Detectives (2026) Peter Travers Hugh Jackman shepherds a tale of sheep crimesolvers that tickles the funnybone, touches the heart and just may end up as the summer’s sweetest surprise.

Mortal Kombat II (2026) Peter Travers Jokester Karl Urban leads a cast of battling gamer brawlers against a plot that doesn’t exist. No matter. All you need to love it is blind devotion

3.5/4
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Peter Travers It’s a delicious irony that emo queen Billie Eilish and blockbuster king of the world James Cameron have teamed up to go small on the most massive screen imaginable, in 3D yet. I couldn’t have liked it more.

55/100
Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) Peter Travers Sally Field mothers a talking octopus in a shameless tearjerker that doesn’t shy away from eye-rolling cliches but may just be the empathy booster we all need right now.

3/4
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Peter Travers Even when the sequel loses momentum, and it does like to repeat itself, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are comic virtuosos not to be resisted. That’s all.

1/4
Animal Farm (2025) Peter Travers George Orwell’s dystopian satire of aggression in the form of anthropomorphic farm animals becomes a cutsey, cardboard kiddie cartoon of staggering ineptitude and an endurance test for audiences of all ages.

Hokum (2026) Peter Travers The stellar Adam Scott stars in an Irish horrorfest from Damien McCarthy, a visionary new talent who really knows how to scare the hell out of and into you

Deep Water (2026) Peter Travers Forget anything new. Director Renny Harlin is merely spitpolishing his same old bag of shark tricks. But the dude knows how to deliver assembly line product like nobody’s business.

Michael (2026) Peter Travers In a cash grab intermittently relieved by magic, Jaafar Jackson vividly channels his uncle as a performer, but MJ the man in all his complications eludes him and the movie.

I Swear (2025) Peter Travers As real-life Tourette’s activist John Davidson, Robert Aramayo gives an astonishing performance that hits you like a shot in the heart.

Over Your Dead Body (2026) Peter Travers Jason Segel and Samara Weaving get laughs as a husband and wife trying to kill each other, but their murder comedy is total tonal chaos.

Omaha (2025) Peter Travers John Magaro is touching and vital in a wrenching family drama that speaks to what’s broken about family in America.

Mother Mary (2026) Peter Travers Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel are dynamite in a pop rock opera from director David Lowery that wins points for visuals and suffers from a terminal case of grandiosity

Normal (2025) Peter Travers For all the mirth and mayhem, Bob Odenkirk and his merry pranksters are exposing how violence is wired into the American character.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Peter Travers Entitled director Lee Cronin makes two hours of borrowed horror inspiration—The Exorcist should sue— feel like an eternity.

Amrum (2025) Peter Travers Can a brainwashed boy in Hitler Youth learn to stop worrying and love being a Nazi hater? Beautifully directed by Turkish-German filmmaker Fatih Akin, this unexpectedly tender mesmerizer has answers you won’t see coming

3.5/4
The Christophers (2025) Peter Travers An electrifying Ian McKellen hits a new career peak and takes an early shot at Oscar in Steven Soderbergh’s unmissable tale of an artist and his forger, played by the brilliant Michaela Coel.

You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Peter Travers In this romcom that evaporates while you’re watching it, a mismatched Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page fight a losing battle to outshine the Tuscan scenery.

30/100
Outcome (2026) Peter Travers Director Jonah Hill’s satire of Hollywood cancel culture in the age of TMZ leaves out all the laughs that define character and sinks Keanu Reeves and an all-star cast in a muddle of jokes creaky enough to qualify for assisted living.

2.5/4
California Schemin' (2025) Peter Travers Until predictability seeps in from the edges, first-time director James McEvoy offers an invitation to a rap party that’s hard to resist as two Scottish MCs fake their way to the hip-hop top as Americans.

Thrash (2026) Peter Travers Rushed off to Netflix when theaters are readily available, this fitfully competent "Jaws" ripoff will have to do until the real thing comes along. Condolences to leading lady Phoebe Dynevor who deserved better.

2.5/4
The Drama (2026) Peter Travers Zendaya and Robert Pattinson bring a bracing charge to turning a romcom about wedding jitters into a deep-dish think piece about the limits of condoning violence, real or imagined. The ending doesn’t work, but oh the drama!

2/4
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Peter Travers Peachy for fans and painful for newbies, this animated joyride is on the run for box-office glory. So what if doesn’t have an ending. It just stops as if it's totally exhausted. Now that I can relate to.

2.5/4
Pizza Movie (2026) Peter Travers Even when the laughs evaporate in the final stretch, Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone know how to breathe comic life into a stoner buddy comedy that’s high on its own shitfaced supply.

3.5/4
Yes (2025) Peter Travers Israeli filmmaker Navid Lapid is taking the risk that audiences will embrace a tragically real situation about his country’s military culture presented as an absurdist comedy. Say yes

3/4
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Peter Travers This shamelessly silly crowd-pleaser has an extra 'Nick' and a double comic dose of Vince Vaughn and a knack for springing surprises that you don’t see coming.

3/4
Fantasy Life (2025) Peter Travers Amanda Peet fans rejoice! This tale of broken connections returns this acting sorceress to films, after 10 years, playing an aging star out to restart her career and her love life. She’s funny and fierce in all the right places.

You're Dating a Narcissist! (2025) Peter Travers If you need to spot the narcissist lurking behind a friend or lover, this Maria Tomei bonbon may be just instructional romcom you’re looking for. She's great. The movie not so much.

They Will Kill You (2026) Peter Travers A zowie Zazie Beetz takes a fiery axe to satanists, but we’ve seen it all before and better. Boring is too small a word to hold the heaps of tedium that come with relentless repetition of kill scenes where no one dies

3.5/4
Project Hail Mary (2026) Peter Travers In the most purely pleasurable movie so far this year, Ryan Gosling has a blast as a science guy who rockets into space to save all our asses with jolts, jokes and smarts that won’t quit.

Tow (2025) Peter Travers Even when her film dips into melodrama, Rose Byrne grounds her portrayal of an unhoused woman living in her car a humanity that feels detailed and true.

2.5/4
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Peter Travers Scream queen Samara Weaving is back in this horror comedy as a bride who takes her vow of "till death do us part" way too seriously. There’s more of everything this time, except for the irreplaceable shock of the new.

The Pout-Pout Fish (2026) Peter Travers This animated tale of a grumpy finboy is as bland as blueberries, yet some wonder if sad Mr. Fish can inspire suicidal thoughts. Nah. Positive messaging swims will all these fishes.

0.5/4
Melania (2026) Peter Travers Shallow, sycophantic and absent a single unguarded moment, ‘Melania’ is a near-two-hour infomercial disguised as a documentary. What’s the movie actually worth as entertainment? I’ll start the bidding at two cents.

The Gates (2026) Peter Travers In his final film, James Van der Beek raises the bar on a standard-issue thriller through the sheer force of his talent and magnetism.

Reminders of Him (2026) Peter Travers Maika Monroe brings battered heart and soul to a Colleen Hoover soap opera that renders "big" emotions with the small details that make them count.

Hoppers (2026) Peter Travers Even when it hops off course, this animated gem is funny and fierce in all the right places. Pixar is back, baby. Haters deserve a good squishing.

2/4
THE BRIDE! (2026) Peter Travers Despite Christian Bale and a wow Jessie Buckley as Frankenstein and his missus, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s big swing at remaking a horror classic is a hot, unholy mess. One caveat: no one who still values artistic risk should dream of missing it.

2.5/4
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Peter Travers Cillian Murphy’s gangster icon Tommy Shelby makes his big-screen debut in a standalone film that can’t stand up against the great series that spawned it. For all its entertaining fan service, it’s an unnecessary coda to an unforgettable TV classic.

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) Peter Travers In Morgan Neville’s intimate and insightful musical doc, Paul McCartney finds his musical wings without the Beatles but with wife Linda riding shotgun and teaching him about hard to reach places in the heart.

3.5/4
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Peter Travers Forget the biopic imitations, the found concert footage in this music doc soars with 100 essential minutes of The King back on his throne and thrillingly alive on stage and off. I’d call that a must-see.

Scream 7 (2026) Peter Travers Its disposable, defanged thrills feel like chatgpt prompts fed the wrong info about what constitutes scary. The result drops the ball on gore, giggles and a reason to care.

The Dreadful (2026) Peter Travers This muddled medieval borefest drags down the talents of Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, but can be commended for one thing: truth in advertising. It’s dreadful to the max.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Peter Travers In this sadly stunted comic thriller, a delightfully depraved Glen Powell must kill seven of his family members to inherit $28 billion. Would you? By the end, the film commits the worst crime of all by killing our interest.

Midwinter Break (2026) Peter Travers Watching Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds is usually time well spent, but this woebegone wintery love story makes you want to jump into an Amsterdam canal.

2.5/4
Wuthering Heights (2026) Peter Travers Margot Robbie and Jacob Eloridi get steamy in Emerald Fennell’s overheated but undercooked take on Emily Brontë’s classic Gothic romance in which they suck each other’s faces with a wild, porny abandon that would shock Victorians. No complaints here.

3.5/4
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Peter Travers Sam Rockwell excels as a wild man from the future in Gore Verbinski's deceptively profound satire that holds up a dark mirror to the dangerous game we’re playing with AI. A true film for its time.

Crime 101 (2026) Peter Travers Chris Hemsworth leads a starry cast in a heist drama that fascinates even through a veil of familiarity. Near the end, a standout Halle Berry flashes a smile of sweet satisfaction. My guess is that you’ll feel the same way.

GOAT (2026) Peter Travers This hoop dreams animation romp from producer Steph Curry isn’t NBA quality, but it gets the job done for family fun. The inclusivity messaging abut teamwork is laid on thick, but still worthwhile for immature audiences of all ages.

Pillion (2025) Peter Travers In this queer BDSM romdomcom with a core of sweetness, Alexander Sarsgård and Harry Melling bring passion and compassion to a taboo subject rare in mainstream cinema. It’s about time.
