Animal Farm (2025) 27% B- EDIT “It’s not a bad film, but it fails to sufficiently grapple with the complex concepts presented in Orwell’s novel, instead settling for an almost Disney-fied interpretation.” – People's World Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% B- EDIT “‘Wicked: For Good’ manages to condemn fascism despite rushed and questionable conclusion. The second half feels scattered and a bit lopsided, but powerful performances and memorable musical numbers soften the blow.” – People's World Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 92% B EDIT “The drama explores systemic racial trauma with cinematic grace and beauty despite the ugly history it boldly explores.” – People's World Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Norita (2024) A EDIT “Nora Morales de Cortiñas’s story is a strong and bright thread in the layered, colorful tapestry of a crucial historical era in Argentina. The film is a deep reflection, a warning, and ultimately a call to action.” – People's World Oct 29, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% B+ EDIT “While not everything is fully fleshed out to satisfaction, the amazing cinematography and mixture of dark humor and subtle commentary on political ideologies and tactics make for a thrilling ride, with the cinematic flair of a modern-day Western film. ” – People's World Oct 4, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% A- EDIT “If you’re looking for escapism with this Stephen King adaptation, look elsewhere. This movie definitely holds a mirror up to our society and its extreme political divisions and violence. It's brutal and meant for engaged viewing.” – People's World Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% B+ EDIT “It’s a refreshing take on a character so ingrained in the cultural fabric of the United States. The film never takes itself too seriously, yet it manages to tell a compelling story relevant to our current political landscape.” – People's World Jul 16, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% C- EDIT “Some key emotional moments stand out, but overall, it’s a dreary movie that feels more like a setup for the next franchise installment, thus depriving cinema-goers of a full-bodied storytelling experience. ” – People's World Jul 11, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% A EDIT “Those expecting a horror film with the usual tropes may be disappointed, but those willing to let the franchise tell a new story will undoubtedly have a fun time. It explores the dangers of AI and human nature with thrills and unapologetic attitude. ” – People's World Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print (2025) 94% B+ EDIT “It’s a raw and heartfelt celebration of the power of the press. The series isn’t a fluff piece about the magazine but an honest reflection of a publication that was crucial to the growth and accomplishments of the feminist movement.” – People's World Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Dog of God (2025) 88% B EDIT “Religious corruption, sexism, witch trials, and other horrors, both ordinary and supernatural, come together for a most memorable tale. It has a lot to say—even when all it tries to convey isn’t completely clear.” – People's World Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Bodyguard of Lies (2025) A EDIT “'Bodyguard of Lies' delivers a sharp and intense account of systemic deception as it details the manipulative propaganda fed to the American public regarding the war in Afghanistan. It is both a fascinating and infuriating watch.” – People's World Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Sovereign (2025) 95% B+ EDIT “'Sovereign' is tough to watch, yet hard to look away from. The crime drama takes viewers on a tragic ride with a father-son duo on a collision course with ruin, telling a layered story with raw intensity and nuance.” – People's World Jun 10, 2025 Full Review I Was Born This Way (2025) 100% A EDIT “'I Was Born This Way' is a wild, emotional, and powerful ride through impactful moments in history through the lens of an equally impactful life of a man who picked love over hate and activism over mainstream fame and fortune.” – People's World Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Paris Is Burning (1990) 98% A EDIT “The ballroom scene may seem niche to the uninitiated, but 'Paris is Burning' makes it clear that it’s ingrained in the fabric of this country’s culture—past and present. ” – People's World Jun 4, 2025 Full Review The Surrender (2025) 85% B EDIT “It's an intimate story with broader social connections that stops all too short of diving into these social implications, settling instead on familiar territory, resulting in a compelling horror story that leaves some of its potential not fully realized.” – People's World May 23, 2025 Full Review Metropolis (1927) 97% B- EDIT “The epic silent movie, with its larger-than-life sets, explored themes of working-class struggle, exploitation, industrial revolution, aggressive technological advancement, and the growing wealth gap between the rich and the poor with vigor.” – People's World May 9, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% A+ EDIT “'Sinners' leans into imaginative storytelling, resulting in a compelling original story that lures us in with terror and keeps us captivated with the very human condition at the heart of it all.” – People's World May 2, 2025 Full Review Queens of Drama (2024) 86% B+ EDIT “The film takes no prisoners as it condemns patriarchal norms, homophobia, and hegemony. The result is a chaotic musical odyssey with dark humor and biting social commentary.” – People's World Apr 14, 2025 Full Review The Actor (2025) 78% A EDIT “It’s better than the overused critic term “a love letter to cinema”; instead, it is a beautifully honest letter to the human condition.” – People's World Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Queen of the Ring (2024) 73% B+ EDIT “'Queen of the Ring' is filled with plenty of melodrama balanced with an uplifting message and a relevant spotlight on a part of history not always explored in mainstream media. Rickards's stand-out performance anchors the strong ensemble cast.” – People's World Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% B+ EDIT “It is an action-packed journey with plenty of political espionage that lays an excellent foundation for higher-stakes stories in the future. The film isn’t a masterpiece, but doesn’t need to be. ” – People's World Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (2025) 75% B- EDIT “It would be easy to dismiss the doc as a cash grab indulging society’s desire to gawk the eccentric. Yet, the sensationalized, ridiculous, and—interestingly enough—sometimes touching film inadvertently lends itself to a more significant conversation.” – People's World Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% B- EDIT “Although it falls short of landing the broader socio-political punch of the 1922 and 1979 films, Nosferatu (2024) is a beautifully gothic cinematic journey with many engrossing themes, such as isolation and female suppression. ” – People's World Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% D EDIT “The outstanding performances in this musical/psychological thriller can’t save the film from itself. The movie is overly aimless, self-indulgent, and miserable in the hopes that the audience will forget that it doesn’t seem to have a plot.” – People's World Oct 4, 2024 Full Review
