Son-In-Law (2026) EDIT “Son-in-Law is a tough one – a satirical comedy that refuses to be easy to laugh at, and the story of a guy we don’t like or dislike. It may take two viewings to fully make sense of it, and there’s craft and vision behind the film.” – Decider May 5, 2026 Full Review Hallow Road (2025) 88% EDIT “Although it’s far from perfect, Hallow Road does a lot with very little, and feels refreshing in its avoidance of maximalist filmmaking.” – Decider May 5, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% EDIT “The Drama is alluring for its star power and its high-potential concept, and it has its memorable moments. But it’s ultimately dissatisfying in its attempt to find comedy and insight within an outrageous scenario.” – Decider May 5, 2026 Full Review Swapped (2026) 72% EDIT “Swapped flirts precariously with forgettability, but most families will find it diverting before they go back to streaming K-Pop Demon Hunters on a loop.” – Decider May 1, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 44% EDIT “How to Make a Killing is a disappointment that might function as a viably distracting slab of entertainment if you’re a fan of Powell, less discriminating and/or bored with a free stream of the movie parked in front of you.” – Decider May 1, 2026 Full Review Je m'appelle Agneta (2026) EDIT “It sometimes can be a bit much in the melodrama and comedy departments, a little try-hardy perhaps, but it’s otherwise a gentle, sweet and heartwarming bit of sentimentality whose core emotions ring true.” – Decider May 1, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 74% EDIT “These Forbidden Fruits just aren’t juicy enough.” – Decider May 1, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% EDIT “ You’ll laugh a lot and you won’t cry (at least not very much) during this Pixar movie.” – Decider May 1, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 94% EDIT “Sound of Falling is an exquisitely conceptualized and realized near-triumph that leaves us with an overwhelming, almost unshakable sense of sadness. You won’t soon forget it.” – Decider Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 54% EDIT “ Getting my hands around Night Patrol was a greater struggle than it should be. Prows shows plenty of stylistic moxie as a filmmaker, and I feel better looking forward to his next movie than recommending this one. ” – Decider Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Alpha (2025) 58% EDIT “Alpha is ambitious, but still a disappointment.” – Decider Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% EDIT “You have to appreciate Monroe’s attempt to give Reminders of Him at least a modicum of depth. But this is a frustrating mess that fails at its main objective, to balance emotional melodrama with steamy romance. ” – Decider Apr 24, 2026 Full Review The Napa Boys (2025) 50% EDIT “The Napa Boys turns WTF into some form of deeply insane art. ” – Decider Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Cheech & Chong's Last Movie (2024) 88% EDIT “Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie is slight and a little stagey, but it’s good enough, a B- of a doc that’s worth a watch.” – Decider Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% EDIT “Apex isn’t the first movie to climb this particular survivalist-thriller mountain, but it does it with skill both behind and in front of the camera.” – Decider Apr 24, 2026 Full Review The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) 90% EDIT “Hear me out: What if we put a diaper on the horse? Anyway – fascinating documentary, well made, thoughtful, honest and highly watchable despite how f—ing scary it can be.” – Decider Apr 24, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% EDIT “Some movies try too hard to creep us out, but Undertone just does it.” – Decider Apr 24, 2026 Full Review 180 (2026) EDIT “180 is an above-average thriller that offers tension, suspense and considerable food for thought.” – Decider Apr 20, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% EDIT “Dust Bunny is about 50/50 overindulgent eye candy and quietly charismatic performances. The story could use a little more beef, but as it stands, it’s more winner than loser.” – Decider Apr 20, 2026 Full Review Vengeance (2026) EDIT “Vengeance is sweet enough in this case. ” – Decider Apr 20, 2026 Full Review Sarah's Oil (2025) 86% EDIT “Sarah’s Oil is quite corny, but just as watchable. You could do far worse for family movie night. ” – Decider Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Balls Up (2026) 23% EDIT “Balls Up? Thumbs down.” – Decider Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Feel My Voice (2026) EDIT “Stick with the other films.” – Decider Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Gaslit by My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story (2024) EDIT “Of course, audiences will consume Gaslit by My Husband because its tawdry and tabloidy. But will they feel good about it? ” – Decider Apr 17, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “Get lost haters, I even like the exclamation point.” – Decider Apr 13, 2026 Full Review
