3/5
My Dearest Assassin (2026) Peter Martin A melodrama in the spirit of Hong Kong's 'heroic bloodshed' movies. ... you can never have too much blood, too many gun battles or too many villains rising from the dead for a satisfying movie.

Black Rabbit, White Rabbit (2025) Martin Kudlac Black Rabbit, White Rabbit reaffirms Mokri’s position at the intersection of experimental filmmaking and philosophical cinema while perfecting his take on quantum storytelling.

The Devils (1971) J Hurtado While Reed's performance as Grandier at times both massively powerful and remarkably tender, Redgrave's performance is absolutely fearless and every bit as commanding as Reed's.

4/5
Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe (2026) Peter Martin It's a very busy narrative, with its various threads sprawling wildly, yet it remains vastly entertaining, ensuring that thoughtful action predominates, leading to an intense battle and a startling final shot.

Deep Water (2026) Olga Artemyeva There is nothing even remotely innovative or surprising in Deep Water, and for once, that is actually a good thing. Harlin’s movie isn’t meant to astonish anyone; it’s here to kick us in the feels with all that it’s got.

RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) Olga Artemyeva The necessity to keep this conversation going no matter what is one of the most crucial ones the film ends up transmitting. Too bad that by the time it happens, the audience’s patience, much like that of the protagonist’s, sadly might have worn thin.

Heresy (2024) Theodoor Steen Everything from the acting, to the screenplay, to the designs helps to reinforce every other element. ... You can do a lot with a little, if used economically and smartly. Heresy does just that.

Silent Friend (2025) Dustin Chang Silent Friend can be seen as narratively unsatisfying, by not tying up its threads neatly enough. But it reminds us that fleeting human existence and brief, yet meaningful connections that are what matters, in the eons of time.

Black Christmas (1974) Michele "Izzy" Galgana I'm not partial to slasher films because they tend to be dumbed down and seem to exist solely for creating massive body counts. But Black Christmas is in a category of its own, among the ranks of Peeping Tom and Psycho, at least in my own humble opinion.

Chavela (2017) Peter Martin Chavela is a 'music doc' that proves to be more revealing than that marketing term might imply.

Our Land (2025) Dustin Chang As with her narrative films, which show the satiric lives of the Argentine upper-class and the state's ugly colonial history, Martel shines a light on the daily struggles of her country's indigenous population.

3.5/5
Scarborn (2023) Peter Martin Overflowing with urgency ... When action erupts, it's chaotic ... so it's not always readily apparent who is winning, though the losers are the ones who lay dead at the end.

Mistura (2024) Ernesto Zelaya Miñano An undemanding, good-natured story you’ve probably seen many times before; it feels like comfort food, the same kind that every Peruvian has probably sampled since birth.
Posted Apr 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Buffet Infinity (2025) Ernesto Zelaya Miñano An endlessly creative and bizarre way to tell a horror story, the kind of original idea movies need more of. This is definitely a buffet worth sampling.

2/5
Mother Mary (2026) George and Josh Bate Mother Mary unfolds as a drab and monotonous watch more likely to lull you to sleep than to provoke profound thought and emotion.

Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) Dustin Chang Miyake goes on sketching out the human connections among strangers in a gentle, playful, abstract way, blurring both fiction and real life/creator and its creations.
Posted Apr 22, 2026  Edit critic review
Bagworm (2026) Kurt Halfyard One cannot look away while he finishes his journey through the lake of fire, and beyond. ... This is not a forgiving kind of movie.

Blades of the Guardians (2026) Rino Lu An exhilarating action film filled with striking set pieces.
Posted Apr 20, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Amrum (2025) Rino Lu Serves as a sombre reminder of a historical moment defined by ideological collapse and moral disorientation. ... To resonate more deeply, it needs to move beyond observation and into a more fully realised affective reckoning.

Night Moves (1975) Rob Hunter Night Moves is the epitome of what makes 1970s cinema so damn good.

Ballistic (2025) Daniel Eagan Chad Faust is a good filmmaker who so far has a strong track record.

2/5
Normal (2025) Peter Martin Even as bodies are smashed and shot up, it’s nearly impossible to distinguish one townsperson from another, which sucks the juice and potential out of most scenes. ... More mayhem, but to much less effect.
Posted Apr 15, 2026  Edit critic review
City Wide Fever (2025) Ernesto Zelaya Miñano If you get on its wavelength over the course of its very brief 70 minutes (sans credits), you might even start to feel a small twinge of nostalgia. ... Makes more sense as a call-back to grimy indie film and B-movies, or as a satire of them.

5/5
Erupcja (2025) Peter Martin Distinctively dry, witty, well-framed and composed, the film is entirely unpredictable. Reminding me of Eastern European New Wave films from the 60s, but also feeling mod and cool and very 'of the moment,' Erupcja is a pure delight.

Trauma or, Monsters All (2026) J Hurtado Three decades after he started this story, Larry Fessenden remains indie horror’s most singular visionary.
Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Revelations of Divine Love (2025) Simon Ramshaw Given its uncommon lineage, Revelations of Divine Love stands as a bonafide curio for Christian cinema of this moment. ... Emanates genuine humility and an underdog spirit that speaks quietly to those who are willing to listen.

The Stranger (2025) Dustin Chang Not in so many words, Ozon is suggesting that Meursault's ennui and senseless actions are deeply rooted in colonialism and injustices that were out in the open for everyone to see.

5/5
And Her Body Was Never Found (2026) Peter Martin What begins as the most aggravating domestic argument in cinema history becomes a launching pad for an intense dramatic thriller about relationship dynamics. ... It's very, very good.
Posted Apr 08, 2026  Edit critic review
Hamlet (2025) Barbara Goslawski [T]here's a frenetic energy that drives the film, making it thrillingly cinematic. It's a version that more clearly embodies Hamlet's internal journey into personal hell.

1/5
The Yeti (2026) George and Josh Bate The Yeti harkens back to the less than desirable elements of old creature features as it is hindered by poor filmmaking while, unlike films like Troll 2 and Eight Legged Freaks, lacks the charm that defines movies so bad that they’re good.

The Land of Sometimes (2025) Peter Martin Although it's not likely to knock out unsuspecting adults, The Land of Sometimes is sure to please younger audiences. And it's heartening to see a distinctively British film that appeals to the whole family gain wider distribution.

Wax & Gold (2026) Martin Kudlac Remains engaging despite its essayistic form, built from a combination of archival material and interviews conducted within the spatial and historical layers of the Hilton Addis Ababa.
Posted Apr 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Rose (2026) Martin Kudlac Rose functions less as a conventional feminist story and more as an examination of an entrenched, gender-biased social order. Its focus remains on emancipation through altered appearance.

The Drama (2026) Kyle Logan Maintains a much more visceral unease than most comedies can allow without entirely giving up on being a comedy, though any genre marker seems inadequate. Except maybe "romance," because ... it might just make you believe in love again.

Alpha (2025) Shelagh Rowan-Legg Alpha is a body-beauty-horror-coming-of-age-accepting-loss film (seriously, so many ways to look at this film, all of them valid, and all of them blending in a mostly seamless tapestry that shows just how much love is possible in the world.

Sparks (2026) Peter Martin Elsie Fisher ... her rough charms act like a magnet ... Sparks plays out like an adventure of the mind and soul, stirring and altogether pleasant.

Kontinental '25 (2025) Martin Kudlac Compared to Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, Kontinental '25 moves at a more deliberate pace and tempers its satirical sharpness.

The Man with the Big Hat (2026) Peter Martin Steven Fromholz 'wasn't interested in writing hit songs, he was writing about his life.' That's what stands out ... he was a sweet, funny, friendly, outgoing man who just wanted to write songs and share them with anyone who would listen.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Yes (2025) Dustin Chang A loud satire that reflects the uncomfortable present that the artistic community find themselves in, between a rock and a hard place, in an increasingly military fascist state. ... It's an obnoxiously pointy and honest, yet sad film.

The Gates (2026) George and Josh Bate By couching relevant, albeit heavy-handed, racial commentary in a tense and contained thriller, The Gates operates effectively both as a cinematic thrill-ride and thought-provoking endeavor.

Edie Arnold Is a Loser (2026) J Hurtado This film feels like what might have happened if Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rock” video from 1984 was extended to feature length, and that is exactly my jam.

Vampires of the Velvet Lounge (2026) George and Josh Bate You’ll probably experience a ‘better’ and scarier horror movie navigating dating apps than you will watching this poorly executed fusion of vampires and modern dating.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) J Hurtado Maybe Ready or Not 2 should’ve stayed in hiding a little bit longer, perhaps until it came up with a way to grab the audience that we hadn’t seen before.

Dreams (2025) Rino Lu A visually daring and thematically subversive romantic melodrama.

Mam (2026) Peter Martin Charming and irresistible, this is a quintessential NYC movie that captures the buzzy energy vibe of Chinatown. Authentically-grounded, kinetic, and vivid, Mam feels like an early 80s indie success story that comes alive on the big screen.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) J Hurtado Takes the best elements and possibilities of the genres its playing in and blends them to create an emotionally fulfilling rollercoaster ride where you might actually shed a tear at the end.

They Will Kill You (2026) J Hurtado Equal parts Evil Dead and Itchy & Scratchy, Sokolov’s affection for over-the-top set pieces as well as a knack for creating uniquely memorable visuals is bolstered by a cast empowered to do the absolute most in every situation

The Fox (2026) J Hurtado Bless The Fox and all of its playful weirdness, we need more of that in this world, and of course, more Jai Courtney wouldn’t hurt, either.
Posted Mar 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Grind (2026) J Hurtado Poignant, relatable, and gleefully gory, Grind is a middle finger to The Man that we can all get behind.
