The Becomers (2023) 94% 8.5/10 EDIT “The Becomers may not have the largest budget, but it has the largest heart.” – Film Threat Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Her Body (2023) 6.5/10 EDIT “There’s something refreshing about a biopic that isn’t about a hero. Sometimes, the stories of people who almost made it are the most compelling of all.” – Film Threat Dec 23, 2024 Full Review Endless Summer Syndrome (2024) 86% 8/10 EDIT “The film has a steamy quality that makes it forgivable. ” – Film Threat Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Green Night (2023) 55% 7/10 EDIT “Han and DP Matthias Delvaux crafted a visually enticing environment for their film, and the neon-lit nights help differentiate Green Night from similar lesbian romances. ” – Film Threat Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Invoking Yell (2023) 78% 5/10 EDIT “All build-up and no release makes for a bit of a slog when we’re battling motion sickness. ” – Film Threat Nov 6, 2024 Full Review The Featherweight (2023) 81% 8.5/10 EDIT “The mockumentary style of Kolodny’s film may be lost on some viewers, but even going in blind on boxing and its rich role in cinema’s history, everyone should find something to love in The Featherweight.” – Film Threat Sep 28, 2024 Full Review The Wasp (2024) 76% 5/10 EDIT “The sundry plot twists are forced, and eventually we mourn the fact that The Wasp ends up in a bizarre perversion of what it was initially set it up to be. ” – Film Threat Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Toxic (2024) 92% 7/10 EDIT “The visual compositions are truly remarkable and go well beyond what one should expect in a feature debut and most films in general.” – Film Threat Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Death Will Come (2024) 5.5/10 EDIT “It’s ultimately a case of style over substance, and the best crime films manage to make both ends meet.” – Film Threat Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Lullaby (2022) 100% 9/10 EDIT “I can’t recall a recent movie that is more attuned to both the challenges and the opportunities that parenthood brings to bear upon not only the parents but also upon the entire family at large. ” – Film Threat Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Alien Love (2024) 7/10 EDIT “Alien Love is a success because it delivers upon its promise of being a silly sci-fi venture that fully welcomes comparison to cheesy genre films of yore. ” – Film Threat Jul 30, 2024 Full Review The Devil's Bath (2024) 91% 8.5/10 EDIT “Much of its horror comes from the realization that, for a supposedly advanced society, we’re not that far removed chronologically from this twisted existence.” – Film Threat Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Pirópolis (2024) 6.5/10 EDIT “The stunning imagery of burning forests is hard to shake, and few films get this close to the humbling power and speed of these fires. ” – Film Threat Jul 17, 2024 Full Review My Divorce Party (2024) 6/10 EDIT “My Divorce Party is a fun diversion from the pain a split can cause, and even if it’s not an entirely successful comedy, one can appreciate the need for a library of buddy comedies from the female perspective that navigates the end of a marriage. ” – Film Threat Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Thine Ears Shall Bleed (2023) 80% 7/10 EDIT “Thine Ears Shall Bleed is scarier than one might expect and more than fulfills its role as a creepy horror flick that takes place in the woods. ” – Film Threat Jul 10, 2024 Full Review The Weekend (2024) 81% 7/10 EDIT “For all of its shortcomings, one will find oneself thinking about Oriahi’s film long after the credits roll, at which point any potential vegans in the audience can finally put away their barf bags and go back to their Impossible Burgers.” – Film Threat Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Just the Two of Us (2023) 72% 7/10 EDIT “Just the Two of Us won’t win any points for originality, but it works as a well-constructed drama that checks the boxes of what people watching it want — an intense tale of conflict with two hot people.” – Film Threat Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Tiger Stripes (2023) 97% 7.5/10 EDIT “Tiger Stripes is highly recommended for families looking for an off-the-beaten-path take on growing up. ” – Film Threat Jun 12, 2024 Full Review I Used to be Funny (2023) 83% 8.5/10 EDIT “It’s blend of emotional realism, a fantastic lead performance, and exacting direction from Pankiw make for one of the essential movies of the season. ” – Film Threat Jun 8, 2024 Full Review American Dreamer (2022) 49% 6/10 EDIT “There may be a catharsis for many in watching a movie so attuned to the acute issue of affordable housing in much of North America. ” – Film Threat May 8, 2024 Full Review On the Adamant (2023) 97% 9.5/10 EDIT “On the Adamant humanizes those living with mental illness and reaffirms their lasting value to society.” – Film Threat Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Chicken for Linda! (2023) 94% 8.5/10 EDIT “Kids will get a kick out of it, and adults will embrace the detail that goes into portraying the complexities of parenthood that are often glossed over by many. ” – Film Threat Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Seagrass (2023) 96% 9.5/10 EDIT “While it’s difficult not to wish that Gadon’s character had more to do, the memorable performances, unique atmosphere, and stunning 35mm cinematography all serve to solidify Hama-Brown as an exceptional talent. ” – Film Threat Apr 12, 2024 Full Review A Forgotten Man (2022) 78% 7.5/10 EDIT “A Forgotten Man, at its best, makes the past seem shockingly present. That is no small feat.” – Film Threat Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Monster (2023) 97% 7.5/10 EDIT “It’s a touching tale about childhood and emotional development in a relatively rigid society. Still, it’s never anything more, nor does it push the boundaries of what we should expect from the seasoned filmmaker.” – Film Threat Mar 28, 2024 Full Review
