Project Hail Mary (2026) Matt Lynch A space epic that at its core is really just a humble flick about a movie star and his best pal the space rock.

The Forbidden City (2025) Chris Mello [The Forbidden City] just peters out in a whimper of unrealized potential, its incredible beginning more than two hours in the rearview.

Tow (2025) Andrew Dignan Tow is attempting to tie a pretty bow around systemic inequities and late-stage capitalism... [it's] like if the Dardenne brothers attempted to make a sitcom.

First Light (2025) Lé Baltar Rarely has a directorial debut looked as stately and confidently composed as First Light.

Ghost in the Machine (2026) Rory Doherty Ghost in the Machine’s sloppy craft undermines its swings for probing, valuable historiography.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Rory Doherty If Everybody to Kenmure Street is a film about community, it’s also about culpability, and Bustos Sierra traces Britain’s revived furor against immigrants to Scotland’s colonial history.

Exit 8 (2025) Sarp Sozdinler What makes Exit 8 more than a pattern-recognition exercise is how it troubles the line between what is real and what is not.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
undertone (2025) Ethan J. Rosenberg Some movies should remain playlists languishing on their directors’ Spotify accounts... Some, like undertone... just do too little to even justify their conception.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Reminders of Him (2026) Ethan J. Rosenberg Reminders of Him is not great, but it follows a great imperative: to reclaim middle America for the people who just want to see its landscape used as the background for a competent story told on-screen.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Dolly (2025) Christian Craig Cycling through trope after trope without examination brings with it the baggage of horror’s thorny history... Dolly knows which notes to play, but a cover band can only fill so many seats.
Posted Mar 12, 2026  Edit critic review
War Machine (2026) Matt Lynch War Machine has collected bits and pieces and smashed them together without attempting to individuate itself at all... Eventually, this nothingburger isn’t even a tasty distraction.
Posted Mar 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Slanted (2025) Andrew Dignan [Hard] to reconcile its broadly comedic early scenes, as well as its stylistic elasticity... with its po-faced sincerity... Slanted feels caught between two worlds, but probably not in the way it intended.
Posted Mar 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Removal of the Eye (2024) Daniel Gorman The intermingling of the real with a fictional story creates a fascinating tension... It all adds up to a wonderful film, one that offers an unflinching portrait of raising a family in the 21st century.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
State of Fear (2026) Lé Baltar There’s a lot of action here, but there’s no real thrill; a lot of buildup, only to snuff it out altogether and arrive at a generic commentary.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
The Mortuary Assistant (2026) Daniel Gorman Kipp’s film probably should have stayed a computer game.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
An American Pastoral (2024) Robert Stinner By focusing on the minutiae of a local election... Edler reveals much more about the current state of political affairs in the United States than one could by attempting a long view. The result is stark and foreboding.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Blades of the Guardians (2026) Matt McCracken Yuen Woo-ping has delivered an uncomplicatedly excellent exercise in tentpole spectacle.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
For Worse (2025) Emily DuGranrut For Worse is clearly something of a personal project, but the film simply doesn’t attempt much more than to doggy paddle in the middlebrow waters of its own creation.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Twisted (2026) Jake Tropila Twisted is a bizarrely anemic affair, sure to disappoint gorehounds with the paucity of bloodshed on display.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Jake Pitre This concluding chapter seems destined to please almost no one other than those mystical, befuddling folks who wanted to know what makes the Strangers tick. And even then... it’s difficult to imagine much satisfaction from such a languid experience.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Ghost Elephants (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann With sincerity, and some degree of artistry, Herzog crafts a sense of wonder that’s wholly necessary.. Ghost Elephants is a true act of guardianship.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Scream 7 (2026) Luke Gorham A [film] plagued by endless internal illogic, one which builds a bonfire out of previously beloved franchise tropes... and indulges so much high-on-its-own-supply winking that Narcan is needed just to keep this thing moving toward its climax.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
AURORA: What Happened to the Earth? (2026) Joshua Polanski a boorishly conventional record of the final performance of her multi-year tour,
Posted Mar 09, 2026  Edit critic review
THE BRIDE! (2026) Andrew Dignan What this film ultimately recalls more than anything... is Joker: Folie à Deux. Like that overconfident dud, The Bride! is but another handsome-looking, deeply stupid film from a filmmaker whose reach exceeds their grasp.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) Christian Craig if Heel fails to innovate, it succeeds, in fits and starts, in its execution. It might not say anything new, but it says it well.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Hoppers (2026) Jefferson Everest Crawford Hope [in Hoppers] is left to a legislative future, offering a denouement that is almost cynically passive and depressingly familiar.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Psycho Killer (2026) Jake Tropila Walker’s screenplay... is shockingly lacking in creative juice, while a good deal of the leftover disappointment can be attributed to Polone’s utterly atmosphere-free direction
Posted Mar 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Napa Boys (2025) Christian Craig All these limp provocations and smarmy self-references might be forgivable if The Napa Boys was simply funny... As it stands, it’s... a sweaty parody that trips over its own feet before it can land a punch.
Posted Feb 28, 2026  Edit critic review
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Ethan J. Rosenberg While In the Blink of an Eye certainly pays lip service to life’s grand meaning, it is in fact a testament to humanity by someone who hates it... with all the visual ingenuity and thematic ambition of a corporate seminar.
Posted Feb 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Bluff (2026) Joshua Polanski Flowers’ approach to the industry of piracy de-romanticizes the rogue seafarers and uses grim social conditions to realize pirates that a smart viewer can root for without guilt or reprise.
Posted Feb 26, 2026  Edit critic review
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Ethan J. Rosenberg His Bazness inevitably dillydallies his way into some provocative and genuinely scintillating filmmaking... [but ultimately] the film manages the inconceivable: it minces the King of Rock & Roll into bits of meaningless trivia.
Posted Feb 25, 2026  Edit critic review
K-Pops! (2024) Chris Mello That [Anderson .Paak's] feature filmmaking debut is merely pleasant is a disappointment. It’s by no means a disaster, but that at least might have been more interesting.
Posted Feb 25, 2026  Edit critic review
Hellfire (2026) Matt Lynch Hellfire works just fine in its respect for the genre and classical sensibilities, but one longs to see an old talent like Florentine get back to the more filling meat and potatoes that elevated his films in the first place.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
By Design (2025) Robert Stinner By Design, always pleasurable and charming to watch, nonetheless puts forth startling ideas.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Abe Beame The film feels destined to become a DVD-shelf comedy classic...that rewards multiple rewatches.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
How to Make a Killing (2026) Andrew Dignan How to Make a Killing is stuck between stations, retaining the cavalier attitude toward murder of the earlier film while failing to iterate on its gallows humor or derive comedic inspiration from the prescient theme of large failsons ruining the world.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Wuthering Heights (2026) Christian Craig Fennell... has made it no secret that she didn’t embark on a faithful adaptation, but the restraint she shows around Catherine and Heathcliff’s affair betrays an unsure footing.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Under Current (2025) Sean Gilman Under Current features an all-star cast of aging celebrities going through the convoluted motions of a screenplay built around needless complications and flash.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
ChaO (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann [ChaO] is a thrilling movie, burgeoning with vivid passion and uninhibited abandon, and a wondrous celebration of animation.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Fuori (2025) Michael Sicinski Has all the contours of a high-toned European biopic, but it unfortunately insists on keeping the viewer on the outside.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Scarlet (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann Hosoda’s reworking of Hamlet is too busy in its whirlwind mishmash... and thus it never develops its own ideas with much substance or conviction.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Jefferson Everest Crawford Besson understands precisely how the narrative of a melodramatic romp should progress, its beats accelerated so that the climax is upon us almost from the beginning.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Fish, Fists and Ambergris (2025) Sean Gilman An action-comedy in the Hong Kong style, with a distinctly handmade flavor.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Christian Craig The Moment is a fine vehicle for a pop star and a welcome alternative to a perfunctory concert film, but nothing in Charli’s ascendency has come so close to feeling merely competent.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Crime 101 (2026) Andrew Dignan Layton is an able mimic, and in Crime 101 he steals from the best... but in truth the entire film could be couched as Michael Mann cosplay.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Jake Tropila Return to Silent Hill is left only to exist as a case study in diminishing returns and exsanguinated genre, sure to disappoint fans and newcomers to the series alike.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Pillion (2025) Robert Stinner It’s to the director’s credit that, in uncovering an optimistic take on thorny narrative material, he manages to do so with both sexual frankness and genuine warmth.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Holding Liat (2025) Zachary Goldkind Kramer flimsily offers us a thought experiment, one where the suffering of Palestinians remains on the margins.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Joan of Arc (2025) Chris Cassingham With each successive film, the lines between reality and fiction have only blurred [in Pálmason's films], revealing a career-spanning inquiry into the generative possibilities of intermingling the real with the fictional.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Shelter (2026) Daniel Gorman [Shelter's] familiarity is part of the film’s low-key charm... sometimes a three-star movie just hits the spot as well as anything can.
