Bernstein's Wall (2021) Alissa Wilkinson While his celebrity has largely faded, “Bernstein’s Wall” makes the case that his charge to artists to lead the way in culture is timeless, and more vital than ever.

Apex (2026) Brandon Yu That dynamic between Egerton and Theron — of a psycho versus an action star — is enough to animate the first half of the film, even if one wishes Kormakur had a couple more flourishes up his sleeve.

Two Women (2025) Natalia Winkelman Ultimately, “Two Women” is less a message movie than a featherweight comedy, gesturing at big ideas about sexual politics before settling in as an amusingly mischievous diversion.

Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) Ben Kenigsberg His film gently balances tidiness and looseness, connection and alienation and artifice and the natural world.

Over Your Dead Body (2026) Beatrice Loayza Intentionally juvenile humor can have a way of breaking down even the stoniest viewer with the right levels of sincerity and self-awareness, but the film is too slick and giddy about its own crudity to nurture these elements.

I Swear (2025) Manohla Dargis ...an aggressively bland, cliché-ridden biopic.

Omaha (2025) Alissa Wilkinson There’s great material packed into “Omaha.” Sometimes redrawing the road map can get you to your destination.
Posted Apr 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Desert Warrior (2025) Glenn Kenny Rather than extend the epic sweep of this picture into the cosmic ineffable, he just wants the viewer bouncing along and rooting for its female hero. And the film succeeds admirably in this respect.

Fuze (2025) Jeannette Catsoulis Fuze hurtles along entertainingly and with no small amount of tension.

Michael (2026) Alissa Wilkinson This Michael is flat, barely human.

Trilogy of Terror II (1996) John Martin Dan Curtis waited 21 years for a second "Terror" movie, and it is worth the wait.

Everyone Is Lying to You for Money (2025) Alissa Wilkinson The cryptocurrency story, [McKenzie] argues, is powerful because however we feel about it, we agree on its premise: Our current economic system is broken, and somebody’s got to fix it.

Normal (2025) Jeannette Catsoulis Normal navigates its cartoonish excesses with expected competence.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Balls Up (2026) Calum Marsh There are slapstick foibles, sight gags about rubbers, and many, many vulgar jokes — some good for a laugh, though I doubt the film's Oscar prospects.

Amrum (2025) Beatrice Loayza To Akin’s credit, the film isn’t tastelessly sentimental (see “Jojo Rabbit”), and it depicts Nanning’s awakening with the kind of subtlety and restraint that suggests his moral education will continue evolving after the end of the movie.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Blue Heron (2025) Alissa Wilkinson Beddoes’s performance as the troubled teen may be the best in the film.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Erupcja (2025) Brandon Yu Although Charli and Góra can’t quite translate enough layers between them to make this film really bruise, this is a pleasantly slight work that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo) (2025) Natalia Winkelman Alfonso Vargas’s style is entrancing enough to keep us confidently in Rico’s corner.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Mother Mary (2026) Manohla Dargis The downer here is that Lowery doesn’t seem to know what to do with his stars, performers who are never better than when they’re just doing what they do best — you know, acting.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Nicolas Rapold Too bad about the one-liners that make fun sequences feel generic, the weaker family dynamics compared to “Evil Dead Rise,” and the film’s climax, a hash of close camera setups.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Steal This Story, Please! (2025) Alissa Wilkinson Makes a strong case that a plurality of independent outlets and more journalists, not fewer, are vital to a healthy democracy — and that without a revitalization of the independent press, we may lose the ability to discern the truth altogether.
Posted Apr 10, 2026  Edit critic review
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Beatrice Loayza Arguably, throwing us into wild fantasies are what rom-coms are for, and letting a Black woman do the honors of being swept away by her European reveries makes for an intriguing update to the genre.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Hamlet (2025) Nicolas Rapold Their “Hamlet” surges with its own energies — palpably a matter of life and death.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Exit 8 (2025) Manohla Dargis “Exit 8” is a pip and as fun to watch as it is to mull over.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Bunnylovr (2025) Jeannette Catsoulis [Rebecca]'s just a lonely woman mapping the vast territory between digital and real-life connection in a movie that’s content to watch her with kindness and without judgment.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Faces of Death (2026) Alissa Wilkinson It reveals how seismically and rapidly the relationship of what we see to what we believe has changed.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Fiume o morte! (2025) Ben Kenigsberg The re-enactment approach may not be as novel as it once was, but it’s still a heady, creative way to excavate layers of buried history in a location that has more than its share.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Newborn (2026) Lisa Kennedy Parker the director, however, is gifted with crews and capable actors and that shows, too. The members of his ensemble — especially Oyelowo — find ways to keep us guessing, and caring, to the end.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Outcome (2026) Brandon Yu It’s streaming filler in which its big names, including the composer Jon Brion, are trapped.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Travel Companion (2025) Natalia Winkelman Specificity does not extend to Simon and Bruce’s bond, which consists of parallel play or the odd story about getting too stoned. If that’s the extent of these dudes’ platonic partnership, then don’t expect much sympathy over their rift.

The Christophers (2025) Alissa Wilkinson I have rarely enjoyed watching two actors’ rapport the way I loved watching McKellen and Coel; it could have gone on forever and not been long enough.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
James and the Giant Peach (1996) Peter M. Nichols Though the story has a macabre flavor that could frighten small children, the beauty of Henry Selick's film is its daringly offbeat animation.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
On Moonlight Bay (1951) A.H. Weiler Although it strives to develop a genuine nostalgic mood, all that On Moonlight Bay seems to create, sadly enough, is the feeling that this film format is old hat.

The Mouthpiece (1932) Mordaunt Hall As a crafty and imaginative lawyer whose clients are crooks, Warren William gives a fine and forceful portrayal in The Mouthpiece.

Jimmy & The Demons (2025) Alissa Wilkinson The Cathedral embodies everything that’s lovely about his work — its impishness, its openheartedness and its darkness, too — and “Jimmy & the Demons” captures all of that with a spirit that matches its subject.

The Blue Trail (2025) Manohla Dargis As it drifts from one place to another, one encounter to another, one sketchy idea to another, so may your attention.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson (2026) Ben Kenigsberg If there’s anything illuminating or edifying about watching these painful recollections, “Truth and Tragedy” misses it.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Pizza Movie (2026) Calum Marsh It’s fast, witty, and packed with clever punchlines, though it still finds time for several scatological gags.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Stranger (2025) Jeannette Catsoulis Lightening any philosophical weight, Ozon adds an unexpected dash of homoeroticism and even (whether deliberate or not) some humor.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Living the Land (2025) Beatrice Loayza A patient, multigenerational drama that immerses viewers in the traditions and labor practices of a farming community in China’s Henan Province.

A Great Awakening (2026) Glenn Kenny It’s an earnest account of a religious movement that still resonates.

DJ Ahmet (2025) Chris Azzopardi Boldly, Unkovski doesn’t give the character an easy out. He trusts the subtle eagerness in Jakup’s masterful portrayal of Ahmet, letting his hard-won future feel inevitable.

The Drama (2026) Manohla Dargis Zendaya and Pattinson are both enjoyable to watch, but she’s given too little to do and he’s given too much.
Posted Apr 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Patsy (1928) Mordaunt Hall This picture is just the sort of diversion for a rainy afternoon.
Posted Apr 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Vanishing Point (1997) John Martin The chase scenes, though well done, get a big old... But there's an element of suspense that holds the action-drama together.
Posted Apr 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Pal Joey (1957) A.H. Weiler There is no doubt that this is largely Mr. Sinatra's show. As the amiable grifter with an iron ego, he projects a distinctly bouncy likable personality into an unusual role.
Posted Apr 01, 2026  Edit critic review
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Alissa Wilkinson There’s a flat empty nothingness to “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” even more than its flat empty predecessor, and that’s a huge bummer.
Posted Mar 31, 2026  Edit critic review
Yes (2025) Manohla Dargis “Yes” is an unsparing movie and can be hard to watch partly because Lapid’s raw fury and maximalist approach can border on off-putting excess.
Posted Mar 26, 2026  Edit critic review
She Dances (2025) Glenn Kenny While the picture, directed by Rick Gomez, has an often jaunty tone, it’s really at its best when it leans into the sadness that shadows the father-daughter relationship.
Posted Mar 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Our Hero, Balthazar (2025) Lisa Kennedy So many details in this comedy-drama are meant to provoke. And “Our Hero, Balthazar” teases with the promise of a darkly intelligent film. Not unlike its protagonist’s tears, the effect is dismayingly performative.
