Tow (2025) 81% 6/10 EDIT “The scene where Amanda does share with the group is the standout moment because the whole thing is working towards that release, but also because Byrne imbues it with an authenticity that rises above the obvious pathway there.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Dead Lover (2025) 83% 6/10 EDIT “I’d be lying if I didn’t say my overall feeling was more appreciation than enjoyment. Its ingenuity, on-screen excitement, and comical depravity ensured that I was never at risk of stopping altogether, though.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 96% 8/10 EDIT “The film’s progression through bureaucratic black holes and intentional tactics meant to wear down the Soviet Union’s last honorable citizen is thus toeing the line between farce and thriller. We’re watching in a constant state of unease.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Touch Me (2025) 90% 7/10 EDIT “Those impulses are as much a drug as narcotics, pharmaceuticals, and space slime. The emotionally parasitic cycle of relationships mirroring the actual parasitic cycle of an alien’s ambitions. The stranger things get, the more real the message becomes.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review U Are the Universe (2024) 7/10 EDIT “[We're] witnessing a real microcosm of life through the eyes of an introvert who escaped Earth to avoid the sadness of living alone only to ultimately discover the dignity of dying together.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 6/10 EDIT “Less a Jurassic Park film than a straight survival film wearing Jurassic Park skin, Rebirth leans into the suspense and hopes its verbosely generic plot doesn’t bore audiences to death with clunky dialogue and two-dimensional characters.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Preschool (2026) 6/10 EDIT “Preschool truly lives and dies by how you embrace Duhamel and Socha in these very flawed yet relatable roles. This is the sort of comedy that demands its performances elevate the plot’s rote machinations and I believe they do exactly that.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 8/10 EDIT “Think of Slanted as the reverse Get Out. It also very effectively points to the shame inherent to being a non-white citizen of a country hellbent on infantilizing, exploiting, destroying, and/or becoming you.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review The Optimist: The Bravest Act Is Truth (2023) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Taylor’s script succeeds in bridging the gap by stripping his present-day leads of age and impact to simply exist as victims with the capacity to see their pain in the other’s face and recognize they aren’t alone.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% 7/10 EDIT “It pulls the curtain on the artifice and shows the unforgivable cost to what Hansen did and how [he was] allowed to do it. This subject is much bigger than [that], though, so the film plays like more of a table-turned "gotcha" moment of its own.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Youngblood (2025) 71% 7/10 EDIT “Now that’s how you do a remake. Rather than glorify the misogyny, hazing, violence, and homophobia, this Youngblood uses it all as a reason to evolve. To be better than the past.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) 97% 6/10 EDIT “Rosi shoots some amazing footage, but these location essay films have never been my thing. It's an anthropological study of a moment in which everyone's focus seems glued to what happened and might happen again.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Megan and the others are crucial as mirrors and support, but Andrea is at the center dictating pace and tone. Their emotions are the focal point and they hit much harder as a result.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Dreams (2025) 52% 5/10 EDIT “So, good on Franco for pushing boundaries and the cast and crew for their excellent work. I only wish the result sparked an epiphany rather than a concussion.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Beam Me Up, Sulu (2025) 7/10 EDIT “These through lines make Beam Me Up, Sulu a relevant addition to the property’s expansive media footprint by contextualizing the big picture aspects of the show’s legacy with the personal impact necessary to help make its dream of a true meritocracy real.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 20, 2026 Full Review 2026 Oscar-Nominated Short Films - Live Action (2026) EDIT “Ahead of the Academy Awards, we’ve reviewed every short film in each category.” – The Film Stage Feb 18, 2026 Full Review 2026 Oscar-Nominated Short Films - Documentary (2026) EDIT “Ahead of the Academy Awards, we’ve reviewed every short film in each category.” – The Film Stage Feb 18, 2026 Full Review 2026 Oscar-Nominated Short Films - Animated (2026) EDIT “Ahead of the Academy Awards, we’ve reviewed every short film in each category.” – The Film Stage Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 79% 6/10 EDIT “We aren’t here for airtight plotting, though. We’re here for a good time and Cold Storage does fulfill that promise.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 13, 2026 Full Review The Mortuary Assistant (2026) 38% 7/10 EDIT “All we need is a healthy mistrust of what we see and gnarly practical effects. With that realism, some nice cinematography to enhance the jump scares, and The Mimic’s memorable creature design, it’s easy to invest in the ride.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 8/10 EDIT “The science fiction elements are perfectly satirized progressions of the chaos our own AI-bubble has sown. An exhilarating romp as Verbinski reaffirms his mastery of spectacle.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 13, 2026 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “My Father’s Shadow proves a perfect mix of historical detail (to infer upon the moment’s political unrest and hopeful optimism) and familial sacrifice (to understand what it means to live hard so the next generation might still live better).” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 13, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% 7/10 EDIT “We’re talking one hundred minutes of pure desperation, exploitation, sexual abuse, indoctrination, and authority overreach. These kids might not fully understand the scope of what’s happening around them, but we certainly do.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 72% 7/10 EDIT “I applaud Hosoda’s desire to heal rather than harm, but Claudius probably isn’t the literary figure for that pursuit. How he brings it to life is gorgeous, though.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 91% 7/10 EDIT “Laxe pulls no punches portraying our lives as the kick to the teeth they often are. A torturous wasteland made bearable by the found families with whom we choose to walk through it.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Feb 6, 2026 Full Review
