Sheep in the Box (2026) Zachary Lee What he offers is a new way to rethink holding our grief, and the end result is a slight and wistful poem of a movie.

The Beloved (2026) Chase Hutchinson It writes what can feel like the equivalent of a hate letter to the movies (or at least the potential for abuse that can come from how they’re made) before eventually coming to his own halting emotional upswing about the enduring power they still hold.

Propeller One-Way Night Coach (2026) Chase Hutchinson For all the ways it seems to be deeply personal and intent on exploring how people are shaped by the formative experiences of their youth, it feels like it may have actually been directed by an alien discovering human interaction for the first time.

In the Grey (2026) William Bibbiani It’s a one way ticket to Dullsville. Population: this poor, poor cast.
Posted May 16, 2026  Edit critic review
All of a Sudden (2026) Steve Pond All of a Sudden circles back to the idea of hope in impossible situations; it gently insists that no one is normal, and it helps us find the beauty in that.

Tangles (2026) Ben Croll As it recreates family photos and mini-DV home videos, “Tangles” often plays like an animated scrapbook, something Sarah herself underscores when she notes that “anytime could be the last time” with that particular facet of her mother.
Posted May 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Parallel Tales (2026) Zachary Lee Despite being impressively acted and thematically compelling, it avoids wholehearted recommendation due to its uneven repetition of sequences and ideas that make this feel more lugubrious than cohesive.
Posted May 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Fatherland (2026) Steve Pond It’s more of a chamber piece, a snapshot of a few days in which a two people grapple with personal loss, artistic and political divides and a looming question for Germans in the aftermath of World War II
Posted May 14, 2026  Edit critic review
The Punisher: One Last Kill (2026) Amelia Emberwing The special is ultimately a mixed bag, doing little to elevate the character or engage the audience that’s already deeply familiar with The Punisher.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Send Help (2026) Amelia Emberwing No matter where you think "Send Help" is going, you’re probably wrong. Thankfully, that’s a huge part of its appeal.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) Amelia Emberwing The four-and-a-half-hour cut of the filmmaker’s revenge saga is at once terrific and overlong.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) Amelia Emberwing As sweet as the original, even if it isn't as fresh.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) Zachary Lee Some films come to you not as media you watch but visions that possess you, and that approximates the haunting and spellbinding world that Schoenrun and their collaborators have so lovingly crafted
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Nagi Notes (2026) Chase Hutchinson Much like the central sculptures that become the focal point of its best scenes, Kôji Fukada’s "Nagi Notes" is a film defined by a sense that the filmmaker is trying to chip away at something.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Obsession (2025) William Bibbiani Curry Barker’s supernatural nightmare 'Obsession' is a better version of 'Wonder Woman 1984.'
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
A Woman's Life (2026) Steve Pond There’s much to admire in its embrace of a thorny character, its judicious use of music and its control of pace and mood, but it rarely prompts the passion on display in its opening image.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Ashes (2026) Steve Pond Luna lays out a life in little flashes, and Anna Diaz holds the screen as he does. “Ashes” is a quiet return to directing, but it’s unsettling and hard to shake.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Butterfly Jam (2026) Ben Croll Butterfly Jam, in other words, is best served in small doses.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
In Waves (2026) Steve Pond It’s a work of indie imagination that springs from a graphic novel but also recalls coming-of-age films like “The Fault in Our Stars.” Dungo’s drawings inspired it, but AJ and Kristen’s joy and pain help it connect.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
The Electric Kiss (2026) Steve Pond Part Gallic rom-com and part meditation on grief, “The Electric Kiss” slips and slides and provides a slight way to begin the film festival, but not an unpleasant one.
Posted May 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Is God Is (2026) William Bibbiani So emotionally, dramatically, philosophically complex that it’s tempting to put on professorial airs and focus entirely on its depth. But it is also, just as importantly, electrifying to watch.
Posted May 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Labyrinth (2025) William Bibbiani It scrolls past thoughtful ideas, too quickly to fully process them, and the experience is as cacophonous as the typical social media feed. I’ll grant you it’s thematically appropriate but it’s not cohesive filmmaking.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Todd Gilchrist In a lineage heavily comprised of victory laps from the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyonce, “Hit Me Hard and Soft” feels like a rare exception in that you don’t need to know every song, and yet the experience conveys an undeniable familiarity.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Mortal Kombat II (2026) William Bibbiani 'Mortal Kombat II' isn’t the best 'Mortal Kombat' movie, but it’s hard to deny that it comes second. At least with the number '2' and all.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Swapped (2026) William Bibbiani 'Swapped' won’t change the world, probably, but it’s a step above a lot of similar films and an effective fantasy story for all ages.
Posted May 02, 2026  Edit critic review
RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) William Bibbiani So what if it could be a little shorter? The length of the journey makes RZA’s destination more meaningful.
Posted May 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Deep Water (2026) William Bibbiani It’s easy to forgive cheap aesthetics and a rushed finale when the middle of the flick, the sharktastic bloodletting where no character is safe, is such a hoot.
Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) William Bibbiani We like to joke about how 'this meeting could have been an email' but if all 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' can offer is Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt on-screen together again, then this film could have been a Zoom call.
Posted Apr 29, 2026  Edit critic review
The Sheep Detectives (2026) William Bibbiani As cozy farm animal detective stories go, it simply can’t be bleat.
Posted Apr 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Animal Farm (2025) William Bibbiani The problem isn’t that the new 'Animal Farm' is unfaithful, it’s that the changes aren’t an improvement. Most of them only call attention to the power of Orwell’s novella, and the comparative powerlessness of this new version.
Posted Apr 24, 2026  Edit critic review
I Swear (2025) William Bibbiani 'I Swear' is the real deal, that rare biopic that doesn’t just tell a real human being’s story — or worse, give you the superficial, reassuring gist — but invites you into it.
Posted Apr 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Apex (2026) William Bibbiani The pieces of this survival thriller don’t work together in any meaningful way, they just occupy the same space, and that makes 'Apex' less exciting than if the filmmakers had just stuck to one of their guns. Any of them.
Posted Apr 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Michael (2026) William Bibbiani It can’t be taken seriously, no matter how earnest it looks and sounds. because it’s not really a story. Maybe it used to be before the reshoots. Maybe not. Either way, now it’s just feature-length publicity, and it plays like damage control.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
Roommates (2026) William Bibbiani Questioning the moral fortitude of these comedies used to be something only critics did [...] Now 'Roommates' is getting in on the act and I respect the film’s sense of introspection. I just wish it had funnier jokes.
Posted Apr 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) William Bibbiani Cronin has an uncanny knack for human mutilation, which would probably be a bad thing in any other context, but if you’re making gross-out horror movies, it’s practically a requirement.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Lorne (2026) William Bibbiani The target demographic for 'Lorne' is 'SNL' fans who won’t benefit from a documentary like 'Lorne.'
Posted Apr 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Mother Mary (2026) William Bibbiani We’re watching extremely talented artists try to accomplish something grand and potentially embarrass themselves in the process, and it works because they’re committed to taking that risk.
Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
ChaO (2025) William Bibbiani Whether the love story completely works or not, 'ChaO' is such a visual wonder that it hardly matters. It’s a lush and emotional and, despite the sugar-addled intensity Yasuhiro Aoki crams into every scene, oddly inviting.
Posted Apr 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Thrash (2026) William Bibbiani If logic had anything to do with it, that would mean 'Thrash' was a bad movie. But logic has no place in these soggy halls. 'Thrash' may be arbitrary but it’s too energetic to be bad.

1.5/5
Outcome (2026) Matt Goldberg Even when it’s preachy, Jonah Hill's new movie rarely has anything of value to say.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Exit 8 (2025) William Bibbiani 'Exit 8' isn’t just one of the best video game adaptations. It might actually be the best so far.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Michael Ordoña Yes, it’s one of those rom-coms, in which the protagonist’s deceptions would be unforgivable IRL, but in the fanciful world of big-screen, beautiful love, it’s all somehow OK.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Faces of Death (2026) William Bibbiani On one hand, Goldhaber’s film is a terrifying, stark, oppressive horror film that outscares the other modern slashers. On the other it’s an intelligent treatise on the grim obsession we have with being obsessively grim.
Posted Apr 06, 2026  Edit critic review
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) William Bibbiani So lacking in substance and purpose that after a while you can’t even hear the dialogue over the incessant sound of Aristotle’s ghost punching himself.
Posted Mar 31, 2026  Edit critic review
The Drama (2026) William Bibbiani It’s disquieting, and even though it’s also riveting, it’s difficult to shake the sense that everyone is getting away with something they shouldn’t.
Posted Mar 31, 2026  Edit critic review
The Serpent's Skin (2025) William Bibbiani All the inspirational, kitschy parts of your favorite nostalgic fare in a mature, sensitive motion picture with indie credibility. Sure, it’s cheap, but it wears its cheapness like a badge of honor. If this is the future of cinema, I say bring it on.
Posted Mar 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Fox (2026) William Bibbiani Courtney plays a big ol’ sack of crap in 'The Fox,' but there’s a dorky honesty to his performance that makes you pity him, no matter how bad he screws up.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Slanted (2025) William Bibbiani It’s only the plot that runs into trouble, since it leads 'Slanted' to carefully tackle some serious issues, but overlook or airball some others. When viewed from different angles the film is either a fascinating success or a gigantic misfire.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Zachary Lee Taccone and his team have managed to take the existential and interior strife common in a marriage and transfigure it into a riotous and convivial physical battle for survival and sanity.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Zachary Lee Grabinski directs 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice’ as if it’s the last creative work he’ll be able to make, and the result is a film that, for all of its busyness and grandeur, feels disjointed and shallow.
