A-
Esta Isla (2025) Carlos Aguilar These larger sociopolitical preoccupations remain just under the surface, never stepping fully into the foreground to take over the spotlight. Yet, they enter the narrative by way of the characters’ emotional connection to those before them.

They Will Kill You (2026) Katie Rife Once the overstimulation sets in, it’s difficult to move beyond it, and the resulting numbness may explain how a film that has so much going on can go from exhilarating to underwhelming over the course of 94 action-packed minutes.

Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story (2026) Kate Erbland Not everything is resolved, but that’s hardly the intent here. Instead, it’s a question of the true nature of discovery, and how much people are willing to see of themselves.

B+
Manhood (2026) Ryan Lattanzio “Manhood” isn’t reinventing the form -- even as the men it follows are reinventing theirs -- but it’s super charming in its straightforward aims at tackling taboo material.

B+
Hokum (2026) Katie Rife It’s just a good old-fashioned ghost story, the kind you’d tell over a campfire to scare children. And it’s a hair-raising one at that.

C
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Katie Rife This is a glib and insincere effort, trying to graft a fun moviegoing experience onto a depressing story about hateful people reveling in each other’s pain. Again, this could be entertaining in the right hands. Here, it just feels smug.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Katie Rife This movie is best watched in pajamas, perhaps with a container of takeout on your lap.

C+
Dead Lover (2025) Vikram Murthi Its prolonged, forced zaniness unfortunately taints everything it touches. With that said, there are definitely people who will take to this kind of film like a duck to water.

C
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Chase Hutchinson All you’re left with is the echo of what was better before. You watch only able to wish Weaving was given more to work with than this, or, at the very least, greater room for her iconic scream to rattle you once more.

B-
Pretty Lethal (2026) Lé Baltar For hardcore fans of the genre and ballet alike, it’s basically a treasure trove, regardless of whether it cannot reference other ballets past “The Nutcracker,” regardless of whether all the hijinks miss a beat or stop short of depth.

A-
The Sun Never Sets (2026) Christian Zilko “The Sun Never Sets” is a masterful portrait of humanity’s inability to figure out what we actually want at any given time.

B
I Love Boosters (2026) Ryan Lattanzio As far as genre movies that actually turn out to be political missives go, there are worse entertainments. And with Keke Palmer at the front, you’re always in sure hands. I don’t know if we love boosters, but we certainly like them.
Posted Mar 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Show Me Love (1998) Oliver Skinner "Fucking Åmål" captures the bittersweet desperation of youth: a tragedy as it's in the midst of occurring yet such a comedy in hindsight. It's a totally endearing love story free of artifice — with an optimism rare for these sort of flicks.

B-
Reminders of Him (2026) Kate Erbland While not a slam-dunk, Vanessa Caswill’s “Reminders of Him” is easily the best Hoover film adaptation yet, bolstered by strong performances and an emotional center that does not primarily rely on some kind of tortured romance (though, that’s there, too!).
Posted Mar 11, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Flies (2026) Ryan Lattanzio As end-of-innocence tales of youth go, “Flies” is refreshingly unsentimental.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
A-
Project Hail Mary (2026) Kate Erbland To write more about the pleasures and pains of “Project Hail Mary” would be a disservice to what’s most entertaining and satisfying about the film: watching it unfold, enjoying the process, accepting the mission, asking the big questions.

C
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Miriam Balanescu This time round, though, an unfortunate silliness sometimes creeps in, where the film risks tipping over Shakespearean-size emotions into embarrassing bathos.
Posted Mar 09, 2026  Edit critic review
C-
THE BRIDE! (2026) Ryan Lattanzio “The Bride!” is full of rage and feeling, striking an anarchic pose against oppression. But who it’s yelling at, who it’s yelling on behalf of, remains out of focus.
Posted Mar 04, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Hoppers (2026) Wilson Chapman There’s not enough time to deepen the sweet friendship between Mabel and George into something as powerful as, say, Merlin and Dory in “Finding Nemo.” Still, what we do get is pretty uniformly delightful.

D+
Scream 7 (2026) Alison Foreman Williamson’s greatest failure comes in the film’s relationship to meta-commentary. Once the series’ calling card, self-awareness has here been dulled into self-soothing.

B-
Wolfram (2025) Ritesh Mehta It lands with gravitas and yields unexpected character dividends. If only the narrative functioned otherwise more conventionally, at least as thrill, tragedy, and catharsis go. Or at least you might find you wish it did.

C+
The Blood Countess (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Make no mistake that “The Blood Countess” is gorgeous, but its cabinet of curiosities, like a subway peddler opening up his coat to the trinkets for sale therein, are mostly revealed to be a disappointment.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
We Are All Strangers (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Filmmaker Anthony Chen returns with a fifth feature that’s as emotionally generous as it is frothily melodramatic -- in ways that are addictively entertaining, frustrating, and ultimately too empathetic to shun.

A-
Rose (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Not since Sally Potter’s breakout feature “Orlando” has a film explored gender privilege so effectively through a historical lens and via a singularly astounding European actress.

C
How to Make a Killing (2026) Kate Erbland This should be tighter, meaner, leaner, cutting. How to make a killing? Let’s worry about the smaller stuff first.

C-
A New Dawn (2026) Blake Simons Shinomiya’s engagement with the impact of climate change, gentrification, and urban encroachment on our green world is admirable, but these themes are explored in a series of undeveloped “yes, and”-style non sequiturs, both visual and aural.

B-
Sunny Dancer (2026) Christian Zilko Sunny Dancer might work better as a concept on paper than a movie onscreen. But there’s still no denying that, just like Patrick, Jaques has made a bleak subgenre of cinema a little bit sunnier.

C+
Midwinter Break (2026) Ryan Lattanzio The script here is too stiffly restrained to a fault to make much of an emotional impact, even as spending time with these actors historically is never without pleasures.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Queen at Sea (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Hammer spares no hard truths and offers no pat feelings with regard to how these people are bound to end up and what dementia ultimately does to them... But the actors help carry Hammer’s message -- and make it unforgettable.

B+
Nina Roza (2026) Lé Baltar Like the eponymous gifted girl’s paintings, “Nina Roza” is subtly cosmic, compelling, and impressionistic. It powerfully commits to symbolic, time-shifting flourishes scattered throughout its swerving narrative. It is a work of legitimate form.

Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Ben Croll It’s a riff, played with real skill, lingering on dissonance rather than release. How fitting.

A-
Mouse (2026) Kate Erbland While I’m not sure there’s yet a cult assembled around the deeply empathetic and uniquely humane cinema of O’Sullivan and Thompson (partners in both film and life), God willing, there will be after more audiences see the pair’s third effort.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
C
At the Sea (2026) David Katz Indeed, the title “At the Sea” solidly encompasses Laura’s existential state, but altering it to “all at sea” doubles as a harsh description on the film itself.

C+
Rosebush Pruning (2026) David Opie The cast are are all excellent in Karim Aïnouz's stilted domestic satire, but that's not enough to make it really prick. This ravishing yet perverse family affair doesn't know what it wants to be.

B+
Cold Storage (2026) Alison Foreman As a February release, “Cold Storage” is an especially pleasant surprise. With Keery and Campbell making it an event worthy of theaters, the film occupies a shrinking middle ground as a mid-budget genre effort that isn’t chasing franchise immortality.

B-
Crime 101 (2026) Ryan Lattanzio While Crime 101 runs like a remodeled version of earlier, better heist movies from the ’90s or early 2000s but with lesser parts, there’s enough gas in the tank and competence at the wheel to merit a spin.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
C-
Dracula (2025) Alison Foreman The cast’s deliveries on Besson’s punchlines are strong, and editor Lucas Fabiani keeps up his end of the deal when it comes to timing. But not even Jones isn’t funny or magnetic enough to sustain attention without the support of real suspense and allure.

B
Wuthering Heights (2026) Kate Erbland As with all of Fennell’s films, boredom is never on offer. And yet, that doesn’t entirely dissipate the feeling that something is still missing here.

B
The Muppet Show (2026) Christian Zilko The first priority is not to screw anything up. Rogen and company managed to achieve that, providing a nostalgic foundation that should give them as much runway as they want for future experimentation.

C+
To Hold a Mountain (2026) Christian Zilko It’s somewhat satisfying as both a travel documentary about a place few of us are likely to ever visit and a well-intentioned reminder that not everything needs to be modernized, but it doesn’t do much to transcend the sum of its parts.

B
If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) Vikram Murthi While trauma and toxic masculinity linger like specters in the background of “If I Go,” Thompson-Hernández permits them to merely contextualize rather than overwhelm the drama.

C+
The Weight (2026) Ryan Lattanzio It’s a treat to watch the muscular dynamics and savvy physical particulars of Hawke’s performance. Murphy, like Hawke, is great in a crisis, and “The Weight” could’ve been one without his sturdy, tough-lived performance.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Shitheads (2026) Richard Lawson By the end of the film, I was quite enjoying spending some time with them, despite wanting so badly to flee the scene at the beginning of the film. I suppose that, once in a while, an acquired taste proves all the more satisfying.

The Musical (2026) David Ehrlich The bits that hit are well-supported, and the ones that don’t are so elegantly suffused into the movie’s cockeyed atmosphere that they tend not to leave any dead air in their wake.

A
Time and Water (2026) Marya E. Gates A poetic musing on intergenerational memory, a whimsical, yet staunchly political elegy for the glaciers, and a mournful look at the Earth in all her majesty and mystery. . .and ow craven capitalism over the last several hundred years has destroyed her

Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story (2026) Kate Erbland You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! And you’ll walk away with a hard-won appreciation for everything Maria Bamford is and hopes to be. Can we get a second part?

B
Filipiñana (2026) David Ehrlich More than any other film that comes to mind, Rafael Manuel’s “Filipiñana” taps into something that I’ve always found inherently sinister about golf courses: Sprawling gardens of solipsism that invite players to compete against themselves.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
C+
Take Me Home (2026) Wilson Chapman The ending doesn’t exactly erase what “Take Me Home” does well, but it does leave the film a much more dispiriting watch than it otherwise would have been, a promising drama that betrays it’s own best qualities.

Iron Lung (2026) Alison Foreman “Iron Lung” is audacious and at times astonishingly boring. Still, it feels more enthusiastic and celebratory than many blockbuster adaptations built on safer math.

When a Witness Recants (2026) Beandrea July At its best, the documentary functions as an act of deep listening and a step -- however incomplete -- toward reckoning with the harm done to three Black boys who deserved far better.
