Obsession (2025) Oscar Goff The real story here, however, is [Inde] Navarrette, who delivers one of the most fearlessly committed comic-horror performances in recent memory.

Sugar Rot (2024) Oscar Goff This is a punk film through and through.
Posted Mar 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Buffet Infinity (2025) Oscar Goff The magic lies in how the cosmic horror rams up against Vaudevillian silly-name comedy, frequently within the same 30-second spot.
Posted Mar 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Slanted (2025) Anna Hoang SLANTED uses some boundary-expanding devices, but doesn’t quite land in any of the genres it seeks to be.
Posted Mar 14, 2026  Edit critic review
undertone (2025) Oscar Goff Undertone is one of those films that’s just good enough that it’s frustrating that it’s not better.
Posted Mar 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Borderline (2025) Joshua Polanski The distinctive geography makes it a perfect match for the gritty and ominous noir subject material.
Posted Mar 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Fränk (2025) Joshua Polanski Fränk is a difficult and dark watch, but seeing it a second time I was fixed by how much more hopeful it felt. Nobody is unlovable, not even the film’s worst offenders. The same scenes that frustrated me the first time, moved me the second.

Sirāt (2025) Anna Hoang On its own merit, SIRAT is a masterfully crafted amalgamation of sound and space that establishes a well-paced, thundering, dreadful experience in the desert.
Posted Mar 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Flesh, Blood, Even a Heart (2025) Joshua Polanski Flesh, Blood, Even a Heart is a thematically rich film with no easy answers...In a world where simple narratives and social media platforms push black and white dichotomies, stories like this bring back nuance.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
THE BRIDE! (2026) Oscar Goff Too much of it falls flat, and virtually none of it hangs together as a cohesive whole. Yet I also wouldn’t dream of dissuading someone to see it.

B-
Scarlet (2025) Kyle Amato Scarlet is too much and too little, but not as didactic or weak as it could have been.
Posted Mar 01, 2026  Edit critic review
How to Make a Killing (2026) Anna Hoang In A24 fashion, the movie looks pretty in the way that it could benefit as a Ralph Lauren summer/spring catalogue gone awry...but unfortunately, to make a good killing, it helps to hit the mark.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Oscar Goff Thankfully, the performance itself is truly remarkable— that is, if "performance" is the right word for it.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Whistle (2025) Oscar Goff Unfortunately, the deaths here lack the ghoulish invention of the [Final] Destination films.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Arco (2025) Anna Hoang ...little visual fanfare other than the blast of Arco’s rainbow outfits. The action sequences seem like they’re too large for a slice-of-futuristic-life story, and yet the stakes seem so little.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Send Help (2026) Oscar Goff This is Raimi at his most joyously nasty, a blackly comic morality play owing more to EC Comics than Marvel.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
A Useful Ghost (2025) Anna Hoang Think LARS AND THE REAL GIRL with its vital organs replaced by a Yorgos Lanthimos character, and A USEFUL GHOST might be close to that Frankensteined monster of black comedy.
Posted Jan 20, 2026  Edit critic review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Oscar Goff The Bone Temple is everything a zombie sequel should be: raucous, funny, surprisingly smart, and bloody enough to make you avert your eyes into your popcorn.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Anna Hoang Gus van Sant’s first movie in several years, is not at all a bad movie...but I can’t shake the feeling that it falls short of saying something, instead blunting an otherwise sharp topic for a passive entry onto the collective conscience.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Oscar Goff It’s not as audacious as some of the filmmaker’s most celebrated pieces, but it remains warm, funny, and altogether lovely.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Rosemead (2025) Anna Hoang [The film] sticks to a more thoughtful, modern approach and intersection between mental illness and culture. Somewhere in the dark, there is a small light in knowing that there are people who are trying to get it right.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Anna Hoang Hind’s voice serves as the writer and painter, adrenaline and sympathy, and the eventual conclusion.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
No Other Choice (2025) Anna Hoang The circumstances in [the film] are part of Park’s nefarious repertoire of bleak comedy, and at this point of the game, Park is having fun.
Posted Jan 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Resurrection (2025) Anna Hoang It’s unquestionably a movie about movies, and its conclusion feels like acknowledged resignation to an uncertain death, but it holds a simplicity about the truth in connection we have with each other.
Posted Jan 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Marty Supreme (2025) Oscar Goff There is an underlying humanity to Marty Supreme, something that runs deeper than Gems’ film-noir-on-speed nihilism.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Death Race 2000 (1975) Oscar Goff If Death Race 2000 is trash, then it’s really great trash.
Posted Dec 19, 2025  Edit critic review
The Secret Agent (2025) Oscar Goff It’s one of the best films of the year, tackling deadly serious subject matter with a wry playfulness which will keep you off balance from its first scene to its last.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Kyle Amato It’s easy to like this movie, but it’s certainly not trying to be actual art.
Posted Dec 14, 2025  Edit critic review

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) Kyle Amato VRMMM WHIRRR BUZZZZ BOOM!

Roofman (2025) Kyle Amato There’s nothing two of cinema’s best criers cannot do when they’re together.
Posted Dec 14, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Dust Bunny (2025) Kyle Amato A standalone imaginative work from someone who has left his bizarre stamp on American television.
Posted Dec 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) Oscar Goff Reflection in a Dead Diamond is as gleefully hyperbolic as its title, but it is made with more craft and artistry than a dozen 007 epics.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Left-Handed Girl (2025) Anna Hoang Time slows down when the three are together, which emphasizes just how important and valued it is when they get to be in the same room. All of their issues and attitudes in their lives feel miniscule for the better part of the film’s dynamic.
Posted Nov 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Sentimental Value (2025) Anna Hoang SENTIMENTAL VALUE challenges the temporal spaces of feeling sentimental: it doesn’t have to exist for the closed chests of the past, but to power the forgiveness and opportunities of the present.
Posted Nov 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Anna Hoang I'll make the case that BALLAD is still a redeemable watch, mostly on the fact that its vibrancy makes it stick out from other movies this year.
Posted Nov 12, 2025  Edit critic review
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Anna Hoang Outwardly, [the film] may seem outrageous to laugh at, but Panahi’s lived experience for the absurd legal interference in Iran’s arts gives him the edge to make a piece of sordid affairs.
Posted Nov 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Die My Love (2025) Oscar Goff Die My Love is not a horror movie in the strictest sense of the word, but will still likely leave you in a daze.
Posted Nov 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Nouvelle Vague (2025) Oscar Goff No new ground is broken, but to fans of the movement it will be close to irresistible.
Posted Oct 31, 2025  Edit critic review
The Mastermind (2025) Anna Hoang Reichardt’s blueprint for J.B. was tailored right down to the bone, which is a masterful accomplishment for a movie that could have depended on plot or character-arc certainties to make it tolerable.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Bugonia (2025) Oscar Goff For those on its wavelength, Bugonia is one of the best and funniest movies of the year, nimbly written and effortlessly suspenseful.
Posted Oct 24, 2025  Edit critic review
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Anna Hoang The film suffers from the absence of a push or pull, denouncing any stake between the two characters to make it or break it at the end.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
After the Hunt (2025) Oscar Goff The film is discomfitingly glib in the face of extremely serious subject matter, yet too unremittingly dour to have very much fun with.
Posted Oct 22, 2025  Edit critic review
From Beyond (1986) Oscar Goff From Beyond has never gotten the recognition of Re-Animator, but for my money it’s every bit as entertaining, and far more ambitious as a film.
Posted Oct 20, 2025  Edit critic review
F
TRON: Ares (2025) Kyle Amato This is a franchise going zero for three, and at some point Disney needs to admit that neon frisbees do not a compelling story make.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) Kyle Amato I still prefer the original film, but this one is going for something a bit different, more grandiose.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
D
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Kyle Amato I’m not sure what Bigelow should do next besides “knock it off.”
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
Deathstalker (2025) Oscar Goff I can’t say I laughed as hard as I have at some other Kostanski films, but I had a great big smile on my face from beginning to end.
Posted Oct 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Happyend (2024) Anna Hoang Its strongest selling point is the fact that it’s a good movie about teenagers, and how the interstitial moments are monumental to the adolescence-turned-adult stage.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
The Smashing Machine (2025) Oscar Goff What Safdie brings to the table is a texture, a look and feel very much unlike the stereotypical guts-and-glory dad film.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Predators (2025) Anna Hoang The documentary is indubitably well-executed. It forbids sensationalism from taking hold of the story and doesn’t relent to pure victimizing of the predators.
