Kentucky Roses
(2026)
|
Liz Kocan
|
Between the great casting, the beautiful Churchill Downs backdrop and, of course, the apt timing of the film, which drops the same weekend as the 2026 Kentucky Derby, it’s a great entry in the Hallmark canon.

Son-In-Law
(2026)
|
John Serba
|
Son-in-Law is a tough one – a satirical comedy that refuses to be easy to laugh at, and the story of a guy we don’t like or dislike. It may take two viewings to fully make sense of it, and there’s craft and vision behind the film.

Hallow Road
(2025)
|
John Serba
|
Although it’s far from perfect, Hallow Road does a lot with very little, and feels refreshing in its avoidance of maximalist filmmaking.

The Drama
(2026)
|
John Serba
|
The Drama is alluring for its star power and its high-potential concept, and it has its memorable moments. But it’s ultimately dissatisfying in its attempt to find comedy and insight within an outrageous scenario.

You, Always
(2025)
|
Jesse Hassenger
|
It’s always kind of exciting when a movie appears on Netflix without any puffed-up hype. But this one really isn’t worth your time unless you’ve worked your way through a comprehensive history of the romantic comedy.

Swapped
(2026)
|
John Serba

Swapped flirts precariously with forgettability, but most families will find it diverting before they go back to streaming K-Pop Demon Hunters on a loop.

How to Make a Killing
(2026)
|
John Serba
|
How to Make a Killing is a disappointment that might function as a viably distracting slab of entertainment if you’re a fan of Powell, less discriminating and/or bored with a free stream of the movie parked in front of you.

Je m'appelle Agneta
(2026)
|
John Serba
|
It sometimes can be a bit much in the melodrama and comedy departments, a little try-hardy perhaps, but it’s otherwise a gentle, sweet and heartwarming bit of sentimentality whose core emotions ring true.

Sound of Falling
(2025)
|
John Serba

Sound of Falling is an exquisitely conceptualized and realized near-triumph that leaves us with an overwhelming, almost unshakable sense of sadness. You won’t soon forget it.

Reminders of Him
(2026)
|
John Serba

You have to appreciate Monroe’s attempt to give Reminders of Him at least a modicum of depth. But this is a frustrating mess that fails at its main objective, to balance emotional melodrama with steamy romance.
