Posted Dec 12, 2025  Edit critic review

The Running Man (2025) Sarah Marrs Glen Powell remains an immensely charming screen presence, and it’s a testament to his star power that The Running Man works as much as it does. [...but] The Running Man [has] too many problems for even Powell to overcome completely.

Posted Oct 26, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 20, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Hamlet (2025) Sarah Marrs Hamlet is Hamlet is Hamlet, it reaches the inevitable conclusion. At least this Hamlet has Riz Ahmed and his wonderful performance to anchor it.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Caught Stealing (2025) Sarah Marrs Caught Stealing is the kind of movie that used to get made all the time—smart, competent, fun, but still with some underlying oomph to sell the stakes. Now, it’s a nostalgic look back at once was, both for the city of New York, and cinema itself.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Sarah Marrs First Steps leans into its goofy Silver Age roots but finds meaning in community and purpose in effort. With its inclusion of parental anxieties and tribute to mothers, the first family of Marvel finally has a film worthy of their legacy.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
The Smashing Machine (2025) Sarah Marrs People looking for a Rocky-esque thrill might be disappointed by The Smashing Machine’s relatively low-key approach to sports cinema, but what Benny Safdie accomplishes instead is a sort of slice-of-life drama centered on an early MMA pioneer.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Sarah Marrs Superman won’t just make you believe a man can fly, it will make you believe that a hero can soar with hope in his heart, maybe enough to give us a little hope, too.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
F1 The Movie (2025) Sarah Marrs F1 is not unpleasant to look at, if you like racing, you’ll probably like this film just for its perspective from the cockpit. But beyond pure spectacle, it’s an empty experience.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Sarah Marrs M3GAN 2.0 is so campy it lives in the woods.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
28 Years Later (2025) Sarah Marrs 28 Years Later shows a way forward for franchises that isn’t dead boring, but it is still guilty of setting up future films in the franchise rather than just telling a good story itself.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Sarah Marrs It might be a lateral move at most—How to Train Your Dragon is already excellent—but the live-action version at least justifies its existence with the beauty and thrill of the flight sequences and more fleshed out characters.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Materialists (2025) Sarah Marrs For all that it pokes at Deep Thoughts, Materialists is as shallow as Lucy.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
