The Well (2025) 44% EDIT “What I like about this film is that it's high-concept but simple.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 98% EDIT “Tender and sweet.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% EDIT “It's not a deep, probing film. It's about blood, guts, and gory silliness -- and it delivers on that. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review White with Fear (2024) 90% EDIT “A very interesting look at how dog-whistle politics came to dominate the Republican Party.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Palestine '36 (2025) 98% EDIT “Is it didactic at times? Of course, but overall it's doing some really interesting storytelling. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Kontinental '25 (2025) 92% EDIT “This film really deliberates in its scenes to the point of punishment. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Fantasy Life (2025) 81% EDIT “I really enjoyed this! The thematic star of this movie is really mental health.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% EDIT “It ultimately feels hollow and gimmicky. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 28% EDIT “It's just full of talent, but was the most unentertaining thing I've seen in a while.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review The Blue Trail (2025) 100% EDIT “It's super creative, fun, dreamy, and bold. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Hamlet (2025) 71% EDIT “If you're not a purist about the Shakespearean text, there's a lot here for you.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 96% EDIT “Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel are the platonic couple you never knew you needed. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% EDIT “It's a really interesting take on a real-life issue that mashes horror and psychological thrillers together.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% EDIT “If I just said this movie is cute, would that be enough?” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 7, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 73% EDIT “It started out strong, but was ultimately a forgettable heist thriller.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 6, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% EDIT “If you like to be scared and you like twists and turns, it's a great combo of an adventure movie with a psychological thriller. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 6, 2026 Full Review Just Sing (2025) EDIT “I love this documentary!” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 6, 2026 Full Review Ricky (2025) 89% EDIT “It's a movie that really makes you think, but also makes you really feel for someone who clearly was on the wrong path, and you hope he can make it onto a better one. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 6, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% EDIT “It begs the question of why was this necessary?... The best parts of it are the music, which you can see elsewhere. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 6, 2026 Full Review The Addiction of Hope (2025) EDIT “I think it's a really strong rendered performance by Anne-Marie Johnson. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 4, 2026 Full Review When a Witness Recants (2026) 100% B- EDIT “At its best, the documentary functions as an act of deep listening and a step -- however incomplete -- toward reckoning with the harm done to three Black boys who deserved far better.” – IndieWire Jan 29, 2026 Full Review The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) 100% A EDIT “Turturro doesn’t rely on wardrobe or makeup to sell the character. Harry is a man of few words, so the performance hinges on his physical control and interiority. Turturro delivers both. ” – IndieWire Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Homegrown (2024) 90% EDIT “I wanted to turn it off at many points, but I'm glad that I stuck with it, because the whole film is deep verité. You don't have any notion of who is behind the camera... It does a reality check that I found gratifying.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Jan 24, 2026 Full Review El Canto de las Manos (2025) EDIT “A touching and interesting documentary.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review The King of Color (2025) EDIT “I wish they had gone deeper with explaining the Pantone System. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review
