Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) Robert Abele Absorbing this well-chosen album is a treat, and a chance to appreciate the delicate mortality that thrives in a place simultaneously enormous, eternal and ephemeral.

Slanted (2025) Jen Yamato Informed by Wang’s own life growing up Chinese Australian, "Slanted" nails the micro-aggressions, body dysmorphia and desire to belong that can make coming of age while being "other" its own perplexing kind of hell.

Reminders of Him (2026) Amy Nicholson You can’t help rooting for Colleen Hoover heroines, bless their bruised hearts.

undertone (2025) Amy Nicholson I’d love to understand why horror films that I find excruciatingly dull give others the heebie-jeebies.

Gunfighter Paradise (2024) Sergio Burstein Anchored in the realm of surrealism... Waters delves into areas of ambiguous meaning that require an active intervention from the viewer.[Full review in Spanish]

Hoppers (2026) Sergio Burstein Hoppers features moments of dark humor that never fail to impress, unfolds absolutely stunning action scenes, has its heart in the right place, and celebrates the beauty of nature through a frankly dazzling mise-en-scène. [Full review in Spanish]

THE BRIDE! (2026) Sergio Burstein Despite its shortcomings and apparent ugliness (or perhaps because of it?), “The Bride!” is a brave, vital, and risky work that is worth seeing on the big screen. [Full review in Spanish]

RoboCop 2 (1990) Peter Rainer It's a film made by a director of great feeling and craft who's caught in a bind: He's hired to deliver the goods for a movie that has no room for his usual range of sensitivities.

RoboCop 2 (1990) Terry Atkinson Unfortunately, two aspects "2" doesn't share with the original are quality and humor.

Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) Robert Abele “Heel” is Tolstoy’s happy-family maxim cooked in a mad scientist’s lab.

Hoppers (2026) Carlos Aguilar Neither simplistically optimistic nor preachy, “Hoppers” smuggles timely ideas inside a rodent body. Pond rules would probably call that a beaver victory.

Anastasia (1956) Philip K. Scheuer The picture...has been handsomely mounted and dressed and is interestingly acted, but it ultimately falls short of distinction for basically the same reason as the play...fell short: the inconclusive note to which it builds.

Phantom Lady (1944) Philip K. Scheuer A remarkable achievement...

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) John L. Scott Miss Hepburn makes the complex Holly a vivid, intriguing figure in a performance that should linger in the minds of Academy Award voters.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
THE BRIDE! (2026) Amy Nicholson "The Bride!" is a maniacal assemblage of ’30s musicals, ’40s noirs, 19th century literature and 21st century ideology. Every wacky second, you’re well aware how perilously close it is to falling apart at the seams.

RoboCop (1987) Dennis Hunt Directed by Paul Verhoeven, it's full of wickedly clever touches.
Posted Mar 04, 2026  Edit critic review
K-Pops! (2024) Amy Nicholson This is the right time — and .Paak could be the right star — to earnestly explore what it means that the Top 40 is shifting eastward. But this adventure in Seoul is simply an ego trip.

Scream 7 (2026) Amy Nicholson Maybe in the boldest meta twist of all, the inventor of "Scream" wants to kill it off himself.
Posted Feb 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) Robert Abele An uneven Euro-art bath of unrealized intimacy and casual violence but is given exquisite tautness by the elegant, unrequited swooniness of stars Zar Amir and Luàna Bajrami.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Midwinter Break (2026) Robert Abele Modest to a fault, “Midwinter Break” seems to float like something cautious and wishful, hoping along with the audience that this union’s individual strains will fall into harmony once more.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
The Postman (1994) Kenneth Turan With superb timing, an impressive variety of facial expressions and the hangdog demeanor of an Italian Buster Keaton, Troisi brings a truth and simplicity to his character that means everything.

THX 1138 (1971) Susan King Though far from flawless, "THX" has gotten richer over the decades.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Amy Nicholson I think Luhrmann is praying that in a thousand years, some alien civilization will discover this footage and build a whole religion around the thrall Elvis’ hip thrusts had over a crowd.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
THX 1138 (1971) Charles Champlin Some of the images, tiny white figures lost amidst the white antispetic vastness, are chilling and terribly powerful.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Robert Abele Johnson is nothing if not a punchy ringmaster of deadpan humor and his grab-bag mindset generates enough goodwill to appreciate the DIY brashness of it all.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Calle Málaga (2025) Robert Abele There is, after all, a reckoning for Maria’s situation we can’t help but keep in the back of our mind. Because our first brief glimpse of Clara is a sympathetic one, we know “Calle Málaga” won’t settle for a tidy resolution.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Amy Nicholson "How to Make a Killing" boasts an opening so strong that it buys enough audience goodwill to coast through nearly its entire running time. That’s priceless in a screwball murder movie in which everyone’s soul is for sale.

GOAT (2026) Carlos Aguilar A mixed bag of eye-catching imagery and formulaic writing, “Goat” disappoints because it follows every expected path toward a triumphant conclusion.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Amy Nicholson So intricate and angry — and so shamelessly ambitious — you can’t believe someone in today’s Hollywood was willing to put up the money to get it made.

Bride of Re-Animator (1990) Kevin Thomas The sequel is every bit as amusing as the original, though probably grislier.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Muppet Treasure Island (1996) Kevin Thomas Muppet Treasure Island is a wonderful picture for children, a work of considerable artistry and craftsmanship that ought to please many adults as well, provided they're prepared to along with a highly familiar, very simple story.

Wuthering Heights (2026) Amy Nicholson I tried, and failed, to merge Robbie’s miscasting into the film’s delirious artificiality alongside the apple-sized strawberries, the gowns of opalescent and latexy fabrics
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) Philip K. Scheuer The production rates as a novelty and should exert a spell above that of the routine program effort. With it, Boris Ingster accomplishes a promising directorial debut.
Posted Feb 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Scarlet (2025) Carlos Aguilar Despite any narrative quibbles, the movie deserves praise for its genuine call for compassion.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Natchez (2025) Robert Abele Natchez is full of quietly charged moments in dreamily scenic surroundings, one result of Noah Collier’s lush cinematography, deployed like a deliberately performative nostalgia that lets us know there’s always more to see if we look closely enough.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Love That Remains (2025) Robert Abele This is a delicate, confidently imagined fiction made with the eyes of a naturalist, the heart of a believer in family, and a sensibility with room for both the Pythonesque and the Lynchian.

Pillion (2025) Amy Nicholson Perhaps you’d like to be taken to dinner first, but "Pillion" is about Colin’s needs — specifically his need to please — and first-time feature filmmaker Harry Lighton challenges us to root for his bliss.

The Muppet Show (2026) Robert Lloyd Pop singer comedienne Sabrina Carpenter is the guest star, a most appropriate choice.

Blonde Venus (1932) Philip K. Scheuer Considered more immediately, "The Blonde Venus" is well acted by [Marlene Dietrich] and her two leading men, Herbert Marshall and Cary Grant...

Vanishing Point (1971) Charles Champlin "Vanishing Point" is a fine celebration of cinematic techniques, an assemblage of startling effects and sleek and vivid surfaces.

A Useful Ghost (2025) Amy Nicholson This snaky, surprising fable starts with a sneeze and explodes into a saga about bureaucracy, modernization and moral corruption. It’s electrifying.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Camille (1936) Edwin Schallert This picture is veritably a classic of the screen.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Days of Heaven (1978) Charles Champlin An extraordinary and original visual experience of a movie which is thrilling in its uncompromised purity.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Ace in the Hole (1951) Edwin Schallert Controversial and challenged as this Paramount production will prove to be, it has a singular power and fascination. The writing by Wilder, Lesser Samuels and Walter Newman seems extraordinarily potent.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Melania (2026) Amy Nicholson "Melania" plays like a sizzle reel for her post-political (post-spousal?) future career in which she may rouse herself to be a guest judge on a reality competition show.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Amy Nicholson The Charli XCX mockumentary "The Moment" is a satire that feels like a snuff film.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
House (1985) Kevin Thomas "House" is an unexpectedly ambitious, refreshingly unpredictable horror comedy with some serious undertones.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
A Poet (2025) Robert Abele That you’re never entirely sure if Oscar is going to be the adult or the child in any given scene creates a wonderfully funny tension. It’s one of the best performances of this past year and if Rios never acted again, it’d be a one-off for the ages...
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
My Bloody Valentine (1981) Linda Gross "My Bloody Valentine" relies heavily on gruesome cerebral associations, shabby special effects and too many characters without sufficient characterizations.

All That's Left of You (2025) Sergio Burstein Interesting thing about the third film by Palestinian-American Cherien Dabis is not its militant aspect or the division it may make between 'bad' and 'good', but the profoundly humanistic turn that occurs near the end. [Full review in Spanish]
