Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “In beautifully quiet ways, Two Seasons, Two Strangers captures its characters in the realm of the ineffable, making the mundane utterly sublime.” – Slant Magazine Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Victor comme tout le monde (2026) EDIT “A subtle, charming work with humble aspirations, and it takes a certain kind of talent to make such a picture buoyant and lively.” – In Review Online Apr 5, 2026 Full Review My Wife Cries (2026) 3.5/4 EDIT “The film starts off as an ostensibly simple tale of infidelity before it begins to grapple with even more anxious themes as it shuffles its characters into a series of memorable tableaux.” – Slant Magazine Feb 21, 2026 Full Review Nightborn (2026) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “Even if the film has few surprises in store for us, there’s something pleasingly unpretentious about how it leaves little room for subtext throughout.” – Slant Magazine Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Barrio Triste (2025) EDIT “Here’s a neorealist portrait of troubled Colombian youth that’s nevertheless routinely punctured by Korinian antics and the supernatural. It’s a mess, sure... but it’s so self-assured in its motley attitudes that it can’t help but impress.” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Magellan (2025) 88% 3/4 EDIT “The film bluntly puts its historical horrors on display, but it’s careful not to explicitly posit their causes.” – Slant Magazine Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Emmanuelle (2024) 18% EDIT “Mumbles rather than purrs as it seeks to be such an inoffensive update to Arsan’s novel that it rids itself entirely of all evidence of seduction.” – In Review Online Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Henry Johnson (2025) 62% EDIT “For Mamet, hard-headed masculinity, a well poisoned long ago, contains another contradiction: it is inescapable, yet the attempt to escape is always worthy.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 75% EDIT “Cronenberg’s genius here lies in focusing in on those moments that would normally evoke a simple sadness and twisting them ever so slightly in the wrong direction, like he’s done to many a body throughout his work.” – In Review Online Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Fishing Place (2024) 73% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film’s particular genius lies in a very consistent use of off-screen space.” – Slant Magazine Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Young Werther (2024) 71% EDIT “Its faults are mostly misjudgments... Even this stripped-down, sorrowless Werther can recall the radical origins — and radical potential — of the coming-of-age story, and that’s a good first step.” – In Review Online Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Afternoons of Solitude (2024) 89% EDIT “In Afternoons of Solitude, there are no singular grand moments... Any competition among matadors is akin to that of directors at a film festival where skill may matter, but beauty matters more.” – In Review Online Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Pepe (2024) 65% EDIT “Though the film’s visual formats don’t always coalesce into great moments or meaningful observations, Pepe demands that we, like the river-horse of its title, merely follow along with its currents.” – In Review Online Sep 17, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% EDIT “It’s as frustrating as it is interesting, as fun as it is trite, and it’s ultimately not that gross.” – In Review Online Sep 10, 2024 Full Review The Damned (2024) 64% 2.5/4 EDIT “Recalling Roberto Minervini’s past docufiction work, the film is a show of impressionistic portraiture.” – Slant Magazine Sep 7, 2024 Full Review The Practice (2023) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Martín Rejtman’s serio-comic fifth feature reminds us of how absurd and beautiful a mortal life can be.” – Slant Magazine Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Oh Canada (2024) 66% EDIT “While Schrader tinkers well with his inverted Liberty Valance story, the lengths he goes to formally display this complicated narration border on the absurd. ” – In Review Online May 27, 2024 Full Review The Human Surge 3 (2023) 94% EDIT “There’s something more mysterious at work here [than in the first Human Surge], as none of the sequences relate to each other in any literal sense. But Williams is comfortable with that degree of mystery. He, like Georges Méliès, delivers a magic show. ” – In Review Online Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% EDIT “With Killers of the Flower Moon, Scorsese has taken his journey’s final step by circling back, telling the story of the snakes and coyotes and wolves that stole a nation and its spirit.” – In Review Online Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% 3/4 EDIT “With Richard Linklater’s Hitman, the charismatic Glen Powell has been offered a plum opportunity to shape his image into something more complicated and often poignant.” – Slant Magazine Oct 4, 2023 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “The soundtrack of the Hösses’ daily lives is a reminder of the nightmare taking place just beyond the wall outside their home, and this relentless evocativeness gives an extra layer of the uncanny to Rudolf Höss’s already unsettling character.” – Slant Magazine Sep 27, 2023 Full Review The Palace (2023) 10% EDIT “The worst film of [Polanski's] career... Each scene is an enclosed vignette, where every character proffers proof of their cretinous nature, only to jolt over to the next room before, God forbid, anything interesting happens.” – In Review Online Sep 10, 2023 Full Review The Elephant 6 Recording Co. (2022) 100% EDIT “Though Stockfleth’s documentary acts mostly as a primer for the Elephant 6 collective, it separates itself from the legions of other musical history docs by staking out new territory and demanding Elephant 6’s rightful place in the mix.” – In Review Online Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story (2023) 65% EDIT “It’s inoffensive, charming in its ability to set the stakes low while keeping tension high, and serviceable in the only scenes that really matter in a racing movie.” – In Review Online Aug 21, 2023 Full Review Circus Maximus (2023) EDIT “It’s a hastily put-together jumble of music videos, tethered by a vague overarching narrative, and a concert film; not a woven patchwork of disparate elements, but rather a product of indecision and shoddy curation.” – In Review Online Aug 3, 2023 Full Review
