4/5
By Design (2025) Kyle Logan A truly magical piece of filmmaking, a visually stunning movie made for anyone who has ever collapsed in on themselves because of others.

The Mortuary Assistant (2026) George and Josh Bate Disjointed doesn’t begin to describe the unholy mess that is The Mortuary Assistant.

Crime 101 (2026) Daniel Eagan One of the better thrillers to reach the screen in months.

Take Me Home (2026) Daniel Eagan Director Liz Sargent uses a documentary approach that implies that events are unfolding in front of our eyes. Only when she cuts to different angles do you realize how carefully written her scenes are, how calculated the cinematography.

To Hold a Mountain (2026) Daniel Eagan The most distinctive element of To Hold a Mountain is Eva Kraljević's bold cinematography. The spectacular landscapes, ever-changing weather, and intimate details of farm life are remarkably involving.

Union County (2026) Mel Valentin Union County enters on Cody Parsons (producer-actor Will Poulter, delivering a career-redefining performance).

The Gallerist (2026) Mel Valentin Undoubtedly slick, undeniably stylish, and almost as tedious, stale, and vapid as the self-serving, narcissistic art-world characters at its center.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Hanging by a Wire (2026) Mel Valentin Possibly due to budget limitations, time, or both, the partial recreations fall disappointingly short of expectations. ... With a too-short running time, Hanging by a Wire often feels like it’s speed-running through key events.

Dracula (2025) Kyle Logan It's not the most daringly original cinematic take on Stoker's novel, but its aesthetic pleasures (both of production design and seeing hot people kiss), emotional earnestness, and unexpected silliness make it a welcome addition.

9/10
I Swear (2025) Ard Vijn All of which could be just so much trite sappy feel-good nonsense in a biopic. But veteran director Kirk Jones deftly avoids all pitfalls, managing to make his film have emotional impact rather than a sentimental one.

8/10
Fish, Fists and Ambergris (2025) Ard Vijn Dương Minh Chiến's debut film is a martial arts comedy of very high quality. In Vietnam, it already conquered the box office and a sequel is being discussed as we speak. To which I say: oh yes, please give us more.

8.5/10
Bazaar (Murder in the Building) (2026) Ard Vijn Murder in the Building is often laugh-out-loud funny. Some drawn-out sequences are delightful even. In part this comes from the central couple as played by Gilles Lellouche and Laetitia Casta, who have great chemistry together.

I Want Your Sex (2026) Mel Valentin Doubles as a return to form for the long-absent [Gregg] Araki and a reminder that he remains a vital, even essential, voice in indie filmmaking.
Posted Feb 08, 2026  Edit critic review
The Invite (2026) Mel Valentin A smart, albeit slightly overlong, adult entertainment, the kind of adult entertainment all too rare in the multiplexes of today.
Posted Feb 08, 2026  Edit critic review
Night Nurse (2026) Mel Valentin Ultimately, Night Nurse promises far more than it delivers narratively or thematically, but as a calling card for the talented Bernstein, it should be more than enough to make her next project a must-watch.
Posted Feb 08, 2026  Edit critic review
Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Martin Kudlac Examines how small scale acts can resonate beyond their immediate circumstances ... what it means to show up, to wait, and to remain present long enough for an administrative process to falter.
Posted Feb 08, 2026  Edit critic review
Birds of War (2026) Martin Kudlac Interwoven with scenes of violence and loss, the relationship offers a parallel narrative that situates war reporting within emotional and ethical entanglements.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Pillion (2025) Olga Artemyeva Serving both as a romance and a coming-of-age story of sorts, Pillion ends up being quite familiar and unique, all at the same time.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Seasons (2024) Peter Martin Adds sufficient substance to the clever premise to make for a satisfying, if ultimately quite rueful, watch.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Extra Geography (2026) Mel Valentin Belongs on the must-see list for filmgoers interested in discovering talented newcomers, a fresh take on a familiar sub-genre, and a worthy, worthwhile exploration of teen psychology and relationships that define them.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) Martin Tsai The film announces its ambitions early, via a conspicuous insert from [Peter] Jackson's 1987 calling card, Bad Taste, as if to say: yes, we know exactly what kind of mess we're trying to make.

Jimpa (2025) Mel Valentin Succeeds both as a showcase for its central performances, Lithgow chief among them, and, at least initially, as a compellingly insightful exploration of intergenerational drama,

2/5
The Arborist (2025) George and Josh Bate Unfortunately, however, the film doesn’t resonate emotionally nor provoke psychological terror in the manner these and many other similar projects have, despite it leaning into a decent mystery and suspenseful atmosphere in its second half.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Tuner (2025) Mel Valentin Despite skillful camerawork, editing, and suitably tense pacing ... Tuner never escapes the aforementioned predictable plotting. [Director Daniel] Roher and his co-screenwriter, Robert Ramsey, never stray, not even once, from tried-and-true genre tropes.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Mel Valentin Never rises above a formulaic, surface-deep satire of the music industry and its suppression of artistic expression and creativity.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Whistle (2025) J Hurtado [A] textbook case of "turn off your brain and enjoy the ride" that never quite rises to the level of guilty pleasure. Unfortunately, this Whistle is more of a sad trombone.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Mel Valentin Something truly special, a character study that doubles as a crime drama, a crime drama that also functions as a snapshot in time, a time capsule for a vanishing New York City.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
The Weight (2026) Mel Valentin Not that stories write themselves (they don’t), but leaning into the elemental aspects inherent in the premise can yield remarkably engrossing stories like Padraic McKinley’s feature-length debut.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Run Amok (2026) Mel Valentin Will likely alienate as many moviegoers as it engages, if not more. Just as unmistakably, Run Amok announces [writer-director NB] Mager as a major new talent, a talent whose next film … should be at the top of any filmgoer’s must-see list.

3/5
The Infinite Husk (2025) Shelagh Rowan-Legg The Infinite Husk is taking a big concept and whittling it down to its essence, which works most of the time, and offering a mainly analogue sci fi story about the nature of the universe, time, and existence feel both scientific and poetic.

3.5/5.0
Teacher's Pet (2025) Peter Martin From its first moments, writer/director Noam Kroll's film is disquieting. ... A psychological drama that becomes more intense as it goes.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Iron Lung (2026) Simon Ramshaw His ingenious and uncompromising approach to turning an engaging playthrough into a white-knuckle cinematic experience is something that can be called a true original, unbeholden to conventions of duration, collaboration or self-conscious discipline.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Bulk (2025) Simon Ramshaw As human beings, we should be happy he's still so in love with his game, and is doing so much to further his craft. As audience members, it's just very hard to love it in the same way.

Tell Me Everything (2026) Rino Lu Though it lacks the climactic force one might expect from such material, the film offers a sensitive examination of a father-son relationship shadowed by the AIDS epidemic.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Jaripeo (2026) Rino Lu Looks less like a carefully devised project and more like an instinct-driven work, propelled by the urgency to make queer cowboy lives visible. ... Lends the film a rare openness.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Saccharine (2026) Martin Tsai Compulsion is staged as possession, another iteration of the film's central duality: desire as both hunger and haunting, agency and surrender.
Posted Jan 31, 2026  Edit critic review
Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) Rino Lu An intimate, quietly piercing coming-of-age story that speaks to stirring curiosity and confusion in puberty. It is nothing less than a heartfelt reflection on the uneasy process of being a "qualified" grown-up.
Posted Jan 31, 2026  Edit critic review
A Poet (2025) Olga Artemyeva Underneath the satire and chaotic slapstick, A Poet – this time contradicting what the title might seem to imply – is primarily a story about humans, not professions or vocations.

3/5
Cold Storage (2026) George and Josh Bate There’s good fun to be had here for those with 90 minutes to spare and with a proclivity for the repulsive and irreverent.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Chasing Summer (2026) Mel Valentin [Illiza] Shlesinger imbues Jamie with a welcome complexity ... not just a relatable character, but a cut above the one-dimensional characters typical of similarly-premised cable fare.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Incomer (2026) Mel Valentin Offers more than its share of surface-deep pleasures for audience members willing to embrace [director Louis] Paxton’s singular take on the "stranger on a strange island" premise.

Shelter (2026) Daniel Eagan Shelter on the whole is above average, and Statham sets a high bar.

3.5/5.0
Arco (2025) Peter Martin Capturing the joys of childhood and the coming of age that is inevitable, as well as contemplating unknown threats and unimaginable dangers, Arco is a beautiful tale that is awash in hopes, memories, and regrets.

July Rhapsody (2002) Rino Lu Within this disordered rhapsody, [director Ann Hui] composes an unsettling variation on an ordinary man’s forties, winding up its movement in a gentle, poetic cadence.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Frank & Louis (2026) Mel Valentin Takes an unhurried, detail-rich approach ... letting dialogue, camerawork, and performances lead the audience ... into the inner and outer lives of men typically forgotten or even discarded by society. ... Nuanced, nonjudgmental.

Buddy (2026) Mel Valentin Deftly balancing dark, cringe-worthy comedy with absurdist horror, Buddy delivers exactly what its primary image of a half-charred Buddy wielding an ax in an artificial forest promised: Twisted fun (not) for the whole family.

All About the Money (2026) Daniel Eagan Self-serving and duplicitous, Fergie Chambers is a gold mine for a documentarian like O'Shea. He eventually seems to be trying to redeem himself, but by the end he is still blaming others for his actions.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
The Wrecking Crew (2026) Daniel Eagan I don't care whether Bautista and Mamoa are believable as brothers. I want to see them destroying bad guys, which is exactly what The Wrecking Crew delivers.

Leviticus (2026) Mel Valentin Brilliant in its conception and even more brilliant in its execution, Leviticus belongs high on a list of queer horror and its discontents.

The Musical (2026) Mel Valentin Undoubtedly will make a fine addition to the collections of cringe-comedy aficionados.
