2/5
A Letter to My Youth (2026) Jose SolĂ­s A Letter to My Youth leans into sentimentality to the point where it practically weaponizes it, returning again and again to images of orphaned children crying in unison as if repetition will deepen the impact.

3/5
Dracula (2025) Kat Halstead Romance novel visuals—think flower petals, pillow fights, a couple feeding each other (not blood)—and moments of dark humor, bring something new to this retelling of the classic tale.

Pillion (2025) Stefan Pape This comedy-drama about a BDSM relationship is unlike anything mainstream cinema typically offers.

Buffalo Kids (2024) Tom Cassidy Buffalo Kids is far more than just entertainment—it addresses disability representation in a landmark way for children's animation.

3/5
Jimpa (2025) Kat Halstead Director Sophie Hyde's most personal work to date, this semi-autobiographical story of identity and conflict within an intergenerational family is a warm, but sometimes overly talky film.

Out of the Nest (2024) Jose SolĂ­s It's an admirable film less for what it says than for what it represents.

4/5
Untitled Home Invasion Romance (2025) Jennifer Green Director-actor Biggs wanted people to both laugh and squirm with this directorial debut, and he's achieved exactly that with a quirky, amusing, and also disconcerting movie.

Jingle All the Way 2 (2014) Jose SolĂ­s It's mostly harmless, but also mostly forgettable.

Easterland 2 (2020) Barbara Shulgasser This is a stinker and a sequel nobody asked for.

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Jennifer Green Although the promise of muscly action is sure to draw plenty of viewers, this film sails when it lets its characters behave like real, emotion-driven humans and not just trained killers.

The Family McMullen (2025) Sandie Angulo Chen This breezy, if unnecessary, sequel reunites several familiar faces from the 1995 indie darling.

Standout: The Ben Kjar Story (2025) Monique Jones This inspiring story is all about living courageously while handling life's adversity.

3/5
Tafiti: Across the Desert (2025) Christie Cronan They're cute, but this German-children's-book-inspired meerkat and pig duo doesn't quite measure up to the The Lion King's beloved Timon and Pumba.
Posted Feb 03, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
The Moment (2026) Tara McNamara Charli XCX's deconstruction of cool is an absolute revelation, and her willingness to expose herself is incredibly brave, but for those who aren't fans, the film is nothing to sing about.

3/5
Worldbreaker (2025) Tara McNamara On the surface, Worldbreaker is a mediocre creature feature, but just beneath that surface is a vibrant metaphor, waiting for adults to pick it up and point it out.

1/5
Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir (2026) Tara McNamara Hilton's cringey self-produced concert film brings new meaning to the term "vanity project."

3/5
Shelter (2026) Tara McNamara Co-star Breathnach's emotional range—and the fatherly tenderness she pulls from Statham—elevates an otherwise standard-issue script.

1/5
Melania (2026) Joyce Slaton Clad in enormous sunglasses and stiletto heels, Melania Trump stalks through this supposedly revealing portrait of her life, giving away exactly nothing of her private thoughts.
Posted Feb 03, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Hazel's Heart (2025) Christie Cronan While the heart of the film is sincere, the story and historical content of Hazel's Heart is frankly lost in a blizzard.

5/5
Send Help (2026) Jeffrey M. Anderson Filmmaker Sam Raimi has done it again with this devilish thriller, a bloody, exceedingly clever, darkly funny movie that takes a nuanced look at gender and the corrupting nature of power.
Posted Jan 29, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Clika (2026) Jeffrey M. Anderson MĂşsica Mexicana fans are likely to appreciate the fact that this drama is rooted in the genre, but it's pretty stiff, formulaic stuff, and it doesn't effectively capture the vibrancy of the music.
Posted Jan 29, 2026Edit critic review
4/5
Irréversible (2002) Tom Cassidy It's impossible to have a good time watching this dizzying French thriller. But it's also impossible to deny the power of writer-director Gaspar Noé's Irreversible.

4/5
A Better Tomorrow (1986) Tom Cassidy Released in 1986, this first iconic collaboration between writer-director John Woo and actor Chow is a gripping action drama that set the template for an entire genre.
Posted Jan 27, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
My Sister's Bones (2026) Kat Halstead This is a solid adaptation of Nuala Ellwood's popular thriller, which works well with the differences offered up by the movie format, rather than trying to piece together a book on-screen.
Posted Jan 27, 2026Edit critic review
1/5
Chhaava (2025) Ishmeet Nagpal This historical drama fails on nearly every level. Despite extreme violence designed to provoke emotional reactions, Chhaava is paradoxically dull, hampered by an aimless screenplay, plot inconsistencies, and repetitive dialogue.

2/5
Finnick (2022) Jose SolĂ­s The film has a certain gentle charm, even if it never really surprises.
Posted Jan 27, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Sisterhood, Inc (2025) Barbara Shulgasser The writers just didn't think this one through as the messages are muddled. Sisterhood, Inc. can't decide if it disapproves of an irresponsible 29-year-old, or if it celebrates her quirkiness and individuality.
Posted Jan 27, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Child's Play 2 (1990) Jose SolĂ­s The sequel leans fully into its worst instincts and somehow that's exactly what makes it work. Child's Play 2 is funnier, meaner, and far more comfortable with how much it enjoys being evil.

Elway (2025) JK Sooja Featuring a current John Elway openly talking about his experiences, this documentary provides a solid look at Elway's career.

3/5
The Royal We (2025) Barbara Shulgasser As escapist fare that fictionally counterbalances all the worldwide unresolved conflicts showcased in the news every day, this can't be beat.

3/5
The Nightingale (2018) Barbara Shulgasser For the first 90 minutes, this film is a well-acted drama, though hard to watch for its grim cruelty, violence, racism, and monstrous treatment of not just women and Black people, but of everyone. Then, unfortunately, it goes on another 46 minutes.
Posted Jan 27, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story (2022) Barbara Shulgasser This drama takes a definite position on the defendant's guilt—the movie suggests she's guilty—but doesn't show us the evidence that persuades us beyond a reasonable doubt that she did the deed.

3/5
Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) Jennifer Green This calmly paced, behind-the-scenes documentary will engage older audiences and Disneyland fans (of which there are, of course, many).

An Unexpected Valentine (2025) Barbara Shulgasser This is a lightweight look at love that offers insights about as deep as a puddle.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) JK Sooja Inventively, this anime mashes together music, fighting, and sci-fi elements to create an often visually stunning adventure.

2/5
The Girl Who Got Away (2021) Jose SolĂ­s The Girl Who Got Away gives away the hook in the title and then seems strangely unsure of what to do with that premise beyond running through unsurprising beats.

Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (2026) Jennifer Green A gripping entry to the growing body of true crime documentaries, this film's firsthand testimonies, archive footage, and memorable recreations build a suspenseful tale.

Easterland (2019) Barbara Shulgasser Easter Land is by any standards really bad. This is just a repetitive, visually dull, poorly executed dud.

3/5
The Tank (2025) Jose SolĂ­s The film is morally complex in a way that makes it genuinely challenging to watch, largely because it commits fully to telling a WWII story from the German point of view.

In Cold Light (2025) Tara McNamara It's not great, but at least this crime thriller makes one thing clear: No good can come from selling drugs.

Wildfire: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse (2023) Tara McNamara Instead of a spirited adventure about a wild stallion, Wildfire: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse is more like an aging mare that's been put out to pasture.

2/5
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Jeffrey M. Anderson Paying fastidious homage to the video game Silent Hill 2, this horror movie has some impressive visuals and production design, but it skimps in the character and story department.
Posted Jan 22, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Night Patrol (2025) Jeffrey M. Anderson This violent horror tale is a bit of a mess, extending itself in multiple directions, but it's ambitious, with enough good ideas, righteous fury, and unholy shocks to make it worth seeing.
Posted Jan 22, 2026Edit critic review
4/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Jeffrey M. Anderson Shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later, this film has the same intelligence, visual inventiveness, and brutal shock factor as its partner, though it heads into more spiritual territory.

2/5
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Jeffrey M. Anderson After the unexpectedly gripping original, it seemed like a great idea to revisit the Garrity family and see how they're getting on; alas, not so much.
Posted Jan 22, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Primate (2025) Jeffrey M. Anderson This horror movie starts out promisingly and has genuinely unsettling visual effects (Ben is an actor in a suit, rather than CGI), but the script is just too familiar and silly to really work.
Posted Jan 22, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
The Dutchman (2025) Jeffrey M. Anderson A curious and not entirely persuasive experience, this surreal thriller nevertheless tackles themes that are both uncomfortable and relevant in an unsettling style that manages to captivate.

4/5
Roofman (2025) Jeffrey M. Anderson Based on a crime story so strange that it can only be true, this zingy, funny, entertaining comedy-thriller does a fine job of balancing details and characters, even if it sometimes lags a little.
Posted Jan 22, 2026Edit critic review
4/5
The Mastermind (2025) Jeffrey M. Anderson Kelly Reichardt's ironically titled ninth feature is a shaggy, bad-luck crime story that deliberately and brilliantly sucks anything thrilling or glamorous out of the life of an art thief.
