Animal Farm (2025) 27% EDIT “By refusing the purpose of allegory in Orwell’s parable -- in which assorted animals of Manor Farm play out the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalin -- Angel Studios follows the infantilizing conventions made popular by Pixar and Marvel.” – National Review May 6, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% EDIT “In time, the ghastliness of The Devil Wears Prada 2 and its enormous hype will be revealed as an egocentric enterprise for moribund communications industries. ” – National Review May 6, 2026 Full Review I Swear (2025) 97% EDIT “Sometimes I Swear seems to take place in Billy Elliot-land, resembling movies that give easy answers by seeing individual problems as social issues. ” – National Review May 6, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% EDIT “The biography itself reinforces what’s known of Jackson’s talent, his unique charisma and artistry, sufficient to satisfy fans. ” – National Review May 6, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 47% EDIT “Black, Rudd, Newton, and Zahn all look aged and worse for wear, yet they’re some of the best actors around, and their visible career fatigue gives this folly poignance.” – National Review May 6, 2026 Full Review Breakdown: 1975 (2025) 74% EDIT “Neville’s haphazard, imprecise, non-scholarly approach never uses the term “counterculture.” He trusts the Hollywood mainstream without understanding how it co-opted Vietnam-Watergate-civil rights–era unrest.” – National Review Apr 14, 2026 Full Review The Stranger (2025) 90% EDIT “Visconti and Mastroianni stuck to the lost man’s withdrawal and disaffection -- the mystery that always made Camus’s story compelling. Yet, for Ozon, it dissolves into stylistic affectation.” – National Review Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Days and Nights in the Forest (1970) 100% EDIT “Ray is one of cinema’s great humanists who can observe flaws and folly without judgment or condescension.” – National Review Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Marc by Sofia (2025) 74% EDIT “[Marc by Sofia] explains the Marc and Sofia friendship better than the duo intended: They play in the worlds of fashion and movies like kids living in a dollhouse.” – National Review Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 95% EDIT “It’s unclear if Trier is being dirty or ironic. His casual perversity gets in the way of the film’s hokiness, play-acting the same old dysfunction that’s become a cliché in TV melodramas. ” – National Review Mar 13, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “So much absurdity occurs in The Bride! that Gyllenhaal might as well have included bloopers.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% EDIT “In his former brilliance, Brooks rarely made a misstep. But now, Brooks’s wit has devolved into tone-deaf sarcasm redolent of today’s fractious period.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% EDIT “EPiC gets closer to the personality of the pop enigma than the insipid fictional drama did. The unguarded Elvis that emerges from the documentary footage complements our outside perspective.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 91% EDIT “Shame on parents who permit their children to buy this corporate idolatry.” – National Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 94% EDIT “Train Dreams is both Malick and Dylan without the artistry and moral purpose.” – National Review Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Excalibur (1981) 73% EDIT “Seeing Excalibur again -- witnessing Boorman’s modernist, erotic, quasi-Christian vision -- revives ideals we’ve lost about cinema and film culture. It was the best film of 1981.” – National Review Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% EDIT “Brontë’s genius, once so fundamental, now seems so hoary that this modern approach might as well be satirical.” – National Review Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 76% EDIT “We might be ready for a film about the cost of political fame. And Baumbach might be cynical enough to track it. But Baumbach’s cynicism about Hollywood’s parasites and exploitation dodges the issue. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 82% EDIT “It is the American-to-European cultural transition that gives Solo Mio rickety charm. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Melania (2026) 10% EDIT “"Melania" fights fairly by fighting gracefully. This is Ratner's most elegant filmmaking so far. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% EDIT “Sorry, Baby turns out to be a sensitive sociological critique. It looks at Agnes’s deep loneliness with comic compassion.” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Young Mothers (2025) 95% EDIT “Young Mothers never succumbs to mawkish sentimentality, but its mixed-tape vision of several girls’ stories varies the experiences so that none of them are viewed as stereotypes. ” – National Review Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% EDIT “The ultimate delight of Nouvelle Vague recalls F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Last Tycoon: Linklater appreciates that even as early as Breathless, Godard held in his head “the whole equation” of cinema and business, art and politics, exploitation and morality.” – National Review Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% EDIT “Sports is the subject of Eephus, a surprisingly good movie for 2025, which was an exceptionally poor year for American films.” – National Review Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 84% EDIT “These themes are recognizable, sometimes amusing, without ever being convincing. Too many rhyming quirks and coincidences prove Jarmusch’s poor dramaturgy. ” – National Review Jan 6, 2026 Full Review
