Idiotka (2025) Lauren Tousignant Above all else, Idiotka [is] brimmed with love and humor, thanks to Galina Jovovich’s performance as Margarita’s grandmother, Gita Levlansky—the heart and soul of the whole film.

Ash (2025) Lauren Tousignant Ash is a giant, neon ayahuasca demon.

Presence (2024) Audra Heinrichs In the new family drama Trojan-horsed as a supernatural thriller (out Friday), the ghost’s purpose seems—refreshingly—like both pettiness and protection.
Posted Mar 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Oh Canada (2024) Audra Heinrichs You suspect you’re supposed to consider him to be a complex character, but by the film’s conclusion, he just seems like an unsympathetic...
Posted Mar 20, 2025  Edit critic review
We Live in Time (2024) Audra Heinrichs All of its quick cutaways and comic relief help underscore the bittersweetness of Tobias and Almut’s time together and keep it from becoming too saccharine.
Posted Mar 20, 2025  Edit critic review
It Ends With Us (2024) Audra Heinrichs Its gravest sin, however, is that it doesn’t portray a broken cycle of abuse at all.
Posted Mar 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Challengers (2024) Audra Heinrichs Where sports cinema has recently either leaned toward schmaltz or just fallen short, Challengers is, refreshingly, all sex, sweat, and spite.
Posted Mar 20, 2025  Edit critic review
The Idea of You (2024) Kylie Cheung The Idea of You is a surprisingly thoughtful feminist ode to female happiness later in life, when women’s only acceptable source of fulfillment is supposed to be their children, and any other loves are regarded as selfish and at odds with motherhood.
Posted Mar 20, 2025  Edit critic review
How to Have Sex (2023) Audra Heinrichs How to Have Sex transcends any other in the coming-of-age genre and becomes that of a horror movie.
Posted Mar 20, 2025  Edit critic review
The Threesome (2025) Kylie Cheung For all its wholly unbelievable sequences and absurdity, it’s actually quite, quite real.
Posted Mar 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Drop (2025) Kylie Cheung Drop is far more than its two-sentence logline—it’s a simultaneously empowering and compelling ode to survivors of domestic abuse.
Posted Mar 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Nightbitch (2024) Audra Heinrichs Frankly, all bark and no bite might even be too benign to describe the most unforgivable folly of Nightbitch.
Posted Dec 17, 2024  Edit critic review
I Am: Celine Dion (2024) Audra Heinrichs I Am: Celine Dion is meant to garnish hope. It's usually successful.
Posted Dec 17, 2024  Edit critic review
The Exorcist: Believer (2023) Rich Juzwiak Believer isn’t as profane or pea soupy, but it does present a coherent, well-paced story of demonic possession that more or less follows the arc of the 1973 classic while tweaking it for modern sensibilities.

All of Us Strangers (2023) Rich Juzwiak This is a movie that savors.
Posted Sep 29, 2023  Edit critic review
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) Rich Juzwiak My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is simply meant to be escapist entertainment. On that front, it succeeds more than it fails...
Posted Sep 07, 2023  Edit critic review
Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Rich Juzwiak For a franchise that revels in ridiculousness... devoted to satirizing the quirks of past shark movies as they do actually provoking scares, the most ridiculous thing in them is positioning Statham atop the narrative food chain.
Posted Aug 08, 2023  Edit critic review
Barbie (2023) Rich Juzwiak While the overly safe Super Mario Bros Movie from earlier this year took its IP so seriously it was like a remedial history lesson, Barbie is a worthwhile movie about a brand. Women can do it all.
Posted Jul 18, 2023  Edit critic review
Sound of Freedom (2023) Rich Juzwiak The polish only makes Sound of Freedom’s attempt to illustrate how a voguish cultural anxiety can be ameliorated if people would just be courageous enough to pursue it (or give money to those willing to pursue it) more insidious.
Posted Jul 05, 2023  Edit critic review
Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed (2023) Rich Juzwiak Hudson felt that he couldn’t tell his story; that it can be told so vividly and compassionately in a doc like All That Heaven Allowed is sheer progress at work.
Posted Jun 29, 2023  Edit critic review
Take Care of Maya (2023) Audra Heinrichs Take Care Of Maya is so singularly shocking that one might have difficulty imagining anything like it happening to anyone else.
Posted Jun 21, 2023  Edit critic review
The Boogeyman (2023) Rich Juzwiak This movie is so uninspired that a few times, I had to think about what exactly I was supposed to be scared of.
Posted Jun 02, 2023  Edit critic review
Bama Rush (2023) Audra Heinrichs A compelling, if not thoroughly heart-wrenching, watch.
Posted May 24, 2023  Edit critic review
Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me (2023) Audra Heinrichs You Don’t Know Me is Blonde-esque in that it fails to care why Smith might’ve felt the need to lie even before achieving fame, and later, infamy.
Posted May 17, 2023  Edit critic review
Book Club: The Next Chapter (2023) Rich Juzwiak Charm goes a long way, as these four principal actors well know.
Posted May 08, 2023  Edit critic review
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) Rodlyn-mae Banting This film adaptation comes as a gift—one that fiercely advocates for the beauty of girlhood in all of its agonizing, terrifying, but absolutely exhilarating glory.
Posted Apr 26, 2023  Edit critic review
Evil Dead Rise (2023) Rich Juzwiak It’s really all just a dressing for the bloodbath, and in that way, feels like home.
Posted Apr 21, 2023  Edit critic review
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Rich Juzwiak Tedious in its articulation of the obvious, The Super Mario Bros. Movie seems both precious about and unsure of its property’s coherence.
Posted Apr 06, 2023  Edit critic review
Air (2023) Rich Juzwiak Air is just primo content, from the predictable yet crowd-pleasing arc to the fashionable, Sorkin-esque rat-a-tat of sarcastic dialogue.
Posted Apr 05, 2023  Edit critic review
Money Shot: The Pornhub Story (2023) Rich Juzwiak Money Shot excels at teasing out the nuances of this arm of the culture wars.
Posted Mar 14, 2023  Edit critic review
Scream VI (2023) Rich Juzwiak Like its almost impossibly smart, resourceful, and physically adept characters, Scream VI is dead set on overachieving. It lives up to the quality it demands.
Posted Mar 09, 2023  Edit critic review
Cocaine Bear (2023) Rich Juzwiak This movie simultaneously made me feel nothing and yearn for more.
Posted Feb 27, 2023  Edit critic review
Knock at the Cabin (2023) Rich Juzwiak What this setup offers is both novel representation of and uncommon punishment for its queer characters.
Posted Feb 06, 2023  Edit critic review
You People (2023) Zeba Blay You People is focused less on character or story and more on its central idea.
Posted Jan 27, 2023  Edit critic review
Infinity Pool (2023) Rich Juzwiak Infinity Pool' is not a movie that's interested in telling you how to think about disrespectful tourists. It's a movie that exists to scramble your senses.
Posted Jan 26, 2023  Edit critic review
Eileen (2023) Rich Juzwiak This Eileen has been seemingly crafted to invite people in, while her literary counterpart practically dared people to look away.
Posted Jan 25, 2023  Edit critic review
Cat Person (2023) Rich Juzwiak The film adaptation of the viral New Yorker story ineptly turns Margot's fears into literal terror.
Posted Jan 24, 2023  Edit critic review
M3GAN (2022) Rich Juzwiak The Gerard Johnstone-directed flick manages not just to breathe life into an overly familiar premise, but it also sharply translates to the screen modern anxieties over the evolution of A.I. and children’s screen time.
Posted Jan 09, 2023  Edit critic review
Candy Land (2022) Rich Juzwiak Candy Land’s intermittent sensitivity create a project that is overachieving in its low-budget, exploitation-oriented scope.
Posted Jan 05, 2023  Edit critic review
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022) Rich Juzwiak At best, Dance is the picture of so-close-yet-so-far disappointment.
Posted Dec 27, 2022  Edit critic review
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Rich Juzwiak Ultimately a very simple, longwinded cat-and-mouse game that, whether intentionally or not, evokes so much of what came before it while managing to break new visual ground.
Posted Dec 16, 2022  Edit critic review
Babylon (2022) Rich Juzwiak If Babylon is a failure, it’s a fabulous failure, and there are far too few of those today.
Posted Dec 16, 2022  Edit critic review
The Whale (2022) Rich Juzwiak Like Charlie, The Whale itself has mobility issues. It goes nowhere. It threatens to buckle under its own weight, as a surging, string-laden score attempts to convey poignancy in a script and performances that come to us already slick with tears.
Posted Dec 09, 2022  Edit critic review
Falling for Christmas (2022) Kady Ruth Ashcraft The movie isn't breaking any molds, but the low-stakes Lohan nostalgia it offers feels good.
Posted Nov 14, 2022  Edit critic review
Orgasm Inc.: The Story of OneTaste (2022) Rodlyn-mae Banting A story of how people’s intense yearning for love, connection, and belonging enabled the cultish scheme.
Posted Nov 14, 2022  Edit critic review
Terrifier 2 (2022) Rich Juzwiak It is a movie that harkens back to ‘70s grindhouse cinema.
Posted Oct 31, 2022  Edit critic review
Armageddon Time (2022) Rich Juzwiak Keeps things as matter of fact as one can about the highly subjective experience of one’s formative years.
Posted Oct 27, 2022  Edit critic review
Halloween Ends (2022) Rich Juzwiak One of the most baffling shaggy dog stories in a horror franchise since Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.
Posted Oct 18, 2022  Edit critic review
Triangle of Sadness (2022) Rich Juzwiak As redundant and dependent on its own characters’ farfetched stupidity for its premise as it is... I weirdly enjoyed this popcorn arthouse film.
Posted Oct 14, 2022  Edit critic review
Women Talking (2022) Rich Juzwiak This is a movie that lays out its stakes and finds tension in its characters’ determination for a resolution.
