They Will Kill You (2026) 78% EDIT “Its lack of visual cohesion and bizarre finale get in the way of enjoying the whirlwind of fists, bullets, fantastical fights, and a sword with katana-like powers of cutting bodies in half. ” – The Playlist Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 73% EDIT “While not entirely flawless in its execution, Taccone’s Over Your Dead Body is a thrilling and hilarious horror movie that delivers plenty of plot twists and gruesome wounds.” – Little White Lies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 80% EDIT “It’s hilarious and moving, thrilling and suspenseful, a showcase for its talent to shine beyond the trappings of the standard straight-to-streaming action fare. ” – Little White Lies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 83% EDIT “While the mystery is fun to piece together and add its share of scares, the real treat of ​“Forbidden Fruits” is rooted in how easy it is to poison our need for friendship. ” – Little White Lies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 95% A EDIT “What could have easily been an overstuffed confluence of ideas – a haunted house, a ghost, a witch, a murder, oh my! – comes together so effectively because of McCarthy’s masterful command of what scares audiences.” – The Playlist Mar 18, 2026 Full Review I Love Boosters (2026) 100% A- EDIT “Riley, who wrote and directed “I Love Boosters,” has once again delivered a wildly original film that’s meant to provoke discussion and make the audience laugh. ” – The Playlist Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 1/4 EDIT “It is so preoccupied with tragedy that the romance becomes secondary. Now, after our third Hoover adaptation, it feels like we’re getting love with diminishing returns. There’s less to enjoy, even if the movie is almost two hours long.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Protector (2025) 19% 1/4 EDIT “Dragged down by over-explanatory dialogue and tired narrative tropes, 'Protector' brings nothing new to the table–except maybe for a confounding 11th hour twist that I won’t spoil that defies reasoning and frankly, good taste. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 6, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 69% 2/4 EDIT “It’s not a movie built to withstand big questions, but for a high-octane action thriller, it’s a lot more fun when it goes off the rails.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Sweetness (2025) 90% 2.5/4 EDIT “While 'Sweetness’ doesn’t quite resolve all of its ideas by the end, it’s tense and shocking enough to keep the adrenaline up. That Rylee is such an unexpected conduit for violence is just part of the film’s wicked sense of humor.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Calle Málaga (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “Yet, Touzani’s 'Calle Málaga’ is a reminder to savor the days we have in the places and communities we hold dear.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Barbara Forever (2026) 100% EDIT “It’s an unparalleled tribute to an artist using her own words and medium to tell her story. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (2026) 100% EDIT “Alvarado’s documentary turns into a defiant reminder of our past struggles, a celebration of our successes and progress, and a call to remain proud of one’s roots. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review American Doctor (2026) 100% EDIT “It is a formidable debut, an unflinching view of a story we’ve heard about but might not fully understand unless our social media feeds show us these testimonies. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% A EDIT “...“Once Upon a Time in Harlem” works on many fronts as both an exquisitely crafted reflection and a tribute to the time, both of the Harlem Renaissance and of Greaves’ generation, hungry to hear these nearly forgotten stories.” – The Playlist Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “'The Moment' is something different, a big swing into the mockumentary genre satirizing the pressures of pop stardom and the struggle for creative control.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Clika (2026) 10% 1/4 EDIT “For a movie that should be about high stakes, all-or-nothing risks, there was almost no heat until the last quarter of the movie.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review I Was a Stranger (2024) 76% 2/4 EDIT “Compassion begins at home, and 'I Was a Strange’ seems to have missed that part of the journey. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 1.5/4 EDIT “If the narrative doesn’t get you down, then maybe the dialogue will, because it’s perhaps even more leadened and cheesy than many might stomach. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “'The Housemaid’ doesn’t quite get as silly and tawdry as it needs to, but it immensely improves in the film’s last third when Sweeney comes out to play. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 18, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 68% 3/4 EDIT “At a time when women are losing rights and encouraged to live life in service of their husbands, it is a dazzling escape to a world that’s more peculiar than ours.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 76% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film takes a simple premise of a person forced to choose between two prospective suitors and elaborates the concept with clever world-building and emotional relationship dynamics. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Murder at the Embassy (2025) 1.5/4 EDIT “The film feels like one of those quick and easy reads you’d pick up at an airport bookstore on your way to your flight. But when you finally find your seat and excitedly crack open the book, it’s maybe a little too breezy as a page turner. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 14, 2025 Full Review All That We Love (2024) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Its subdued, no-frills drama may be just the space one needs for a good cry.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% 1.5/4 EDIT “But too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and in the case of “Regretting You,” the narrative buckles under the number of overblown emotional scenes and the commercial interruptions for product placements. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 24, 2025 Full Review
