They Will Kill You (2026) 78% 8/10 EDIT “Kirill Sokolov’s terrific They Will Kill You, a modern action gem whose stellar fight sequences are brought to life with kinetic stunt performances and captivating camerawork, is the year’s best action discovery thus far.” – IGN Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Wishful Thinking (2026) 100% A- EDIT “It’s a riot of a romantic dramedy with love, its pain, pleasures, and perils, all at the front of mind as it manifests (literally) the ways all the tumultuous emotions of one of life’s greatest joys can impact the way you experience the world. ” – The Playlist Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 95% EDIT “It’s not only properly unsettling, making great use of darkness and sound, but also becomes a quietly poetic reflection on loss when you least expect it.” – TheWrap Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% C EDIT “All you’re left with is the echo of what was better before. You watch only able to wish Weaving was given more to work with than this, or, at the very least, greater room for her iconic scream to rattle you once more.” – IndieWire Mar 14, 2026 Full Review I Love Boosters (2026) 100% EDIT “Riley, proving himself to be a romantic just as he is a believer in revolution, clearly not only loves these boosters with hearts of gold, but anyone that is trying to make it all work for themselves and those around them.” – TheWrap Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 91% EDIT “While neither Tommy nor the film itself was ever likely to be immortal, the closing frames prove to be a fitting sendoff for him as well as his long, sad saga. For what could very well be the last time, he and Murphy burn bright. ” – TheWrap Mar 5, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% EDIT “Rather than fall prey to the perils of being overly dramatic, Hania uses the tools of drama to explore the feelings of frustration and fear that mere headlines about this day could never begin to capture. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% EDIT “It’s a monumental and remarkable work, a true gift from cinema history.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 95% EDIT “While deeply imperfect, often teetering right on the edge of falling apart, it’s an engrossing, effective work of formal and psychological exploration that looks out at the world through the eyes of a child who witnessed a violent assault. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 95% 3/4 EDIT “"The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo," the fascinating feature debut from writer-director Diego Céspedes, is a film of painfully bittersweet, enduringly beautiful joys. ” – Seattle Times Feb 5, 2026 Full Review In the Blink of an Eye (2026) 17% 4/10 EDIT “For a film about disaster and how we deal with it, there is something tragic about how In the Blink of an Eye becomes such a frequently disastrous disappointment of its own making. ” – IGN Movies Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild] (2026) B+ EDIT “Piece by piece, the film becomes a portrait of quiet, ordinary courage, just as it doesn’t shy away from pondering why the dedication and years of fighting an uphill battle like this were required in the first place. ” – The Playlist Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Filipiñana (2026) 88% EDIT “Both everything and nothing happens in "Filipiñana," the cutting, confident, and ultimately formally captivating feature debut from writer-director Rafael Manuel.” – TheWrap Jan 30, 2026 Full Review If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) 96% EDIT “It’s a film that, even when the end stumbles ever so slightly and steps away from its greatest strength in star Danielle Brooks, proves to be a vibrant vision of a family trying to find their way through the world.” – TheWrap Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The Weight (2026) 94% EDIT “Throughout it all, Hawke is mesmerizing. The action scenes are tense and well-executed, though it’s the way he grounds it that makes you feel every setback. ” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review See You When I See You (2026) 71% EDIT “There is a tension that comes from the humor clashing with the tragedy, but it’s a worthwhile one. Life is full of sudden loss and then also ridiculously funny moments. Capturing that authentically is no small feat, but Duplass does so with delicate care.” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) 100% EDIT “Noah Segan’s "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York" is a film of rich pleasures, just as its protagonist is struggling to find any riches of his own.” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Antiheroine (2026) EDIT “It’s a candid, compassionate and comprehensive portrait that, while somewhat standardly constructed, taps into something much more incisive than is common for this type of work. ” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Ghost in the Machine (2026) 73% EDIT “Valerie Veatch’s blistering "Ghost in the Machine" is a radical, necessary Molotov cocktail of a documentary that’s being thrown right into the heart of our nonsense, nightmarish world of overinflated AI hype. ” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 71% EDIT “Though there are flashes of more chaotic comedy that get the pulse racing here and there, for the most part "Chasing Summer" is a surprisingly safe genre riff.” – TheWrap Jan 27, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 72% EDIT “Most podcasts remain disposable, yet this film about a truly cursed one captures not just the evil that may lurk within them, but wields a sonic power that, for the brave, is one you’ll want to listen back to.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 97% EDIT “At every turn, the film earns every emotional, lived-in development, instilling this slice-of-life portrait with such a quiet humanity that it can feel like you’re sitting at the tables and in the meeting rooms along with all the characters.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Musical (2026) 59% EDIT “That this is Bonilla’s feature directorial debut makes one only hope she keeps making comedies like this, as every escalation, cutaway, and lighting cue is perfectly executed. Doug may be a terrible director, but she proves to be a great one. ” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review zi (2026) 68% EDIT “As shot by his frequent collaborator, the cinematographer Benjamin Loeb, and cut together by Kogonada himself, "Zi" blurs the lines between tone poem and hangout movie, letting both merge together to become something unexpectedly moving.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Buddy (2026) 83% EDIT “Each time you think you’re seeing the daylight of something potentially better to explore on the horizon, "Buddy" keeps dragging you back into the banal darkness. Like the kids, you deserve far better than whatever this lackluster production amounts to.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review
