Sender (2026) 50% EDIT “This is a promising debut for Goldman, who has found a way to take the more limited constraints of his short and to give it the purpose and time to thrive. It is a head-scratcher, but one well worth scratching.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Saviors (2026) 58% EDIT “I was never sure if [Kevin Hamedani] means this to be more comedic than thriller, but still I had a pretty good time, even if it could have been so much more.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Chili Finger (2026) EDIT “Chili Finger doesn’t rewrite the rules, but with a cast having a blast, it modestly provides a good ol’ time.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Family Movie (2026) 91% EDIT “There can be no question the Bacons are having a hell of a good time not only sending up this well-traveled genre but also deliciously adding more buckets of blood to it.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Seekers of Infinite Love (2026) EDIT “Apart from Strouse’s smart and funny script, what makes this little gem hum are the performances starting with Einbinder, who is a complete natural onscreen, just as she is in Hacks. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% EDIT “A movie made for IMAX, Project Hail Mary is mission accomplished, an entertaining and engaging piece of science fiction that suggests even though we may be worlds apart, in order to save us from ourselves we must band together now more than ever.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Mar 10, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “Gyllenhaal proves after an impressive but much smaller directing debut with 2021’s The Lost Daughter (also with Buckley) that she can handle a movie on a very big scale with even bigger ideas. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% EDIT “It may have taken 30 years for Williamson to finally get to steer his own ship, but with Scream 7 it proves well worth the wait. Fans will approve.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Jane Austen's Period Drama (2024) EDIT “Jane Austen’s Period Drama is entertaining enough but basically a one-joke premise telegraphed by the cute title.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Butcher's Stain (2025) EDIT “Meyer Levinson-Blount’s compelling Butcher’s Stain feels a bit unremarkable until we really see where this is going, a subtle comment on the fraught tensions in the Middle East but played on a simple human level.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review A Friend of Dorothy (2025) EDIT “Margolyes is an acting treasure, but then we knew that didn’t we? She is perfectly matched with the promising Nwachukwu, who makes a strong impression against a true pro here. It’s a charmer. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Singers (2026) EDIT “Ultimately, The Singers lifts our spirits with hope for humanity and the common good in life.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Children No More: Were and Are Gone (2025) EDIT “The film is by design quite repetitive as the number of protesters grows significantly day to day, in increasingly huge numbers, and that is where it gains its power. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review All the Empty Rooms (2025) 91% EDIT “This 33-minute documentary is not just a portrait of the children lost but also of the reporter determined to use his camera and voice to make sure they are never forgotten.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (2025) EDIT “This engrossing film takes us all the way from Brent’s life journey to his open coffin and final resting place at home in Arkansas. In doing so it reminds us of the cost for journalists out on the front lines getting it all on camera.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Devil Is Busy (2024) EDIT “The Devil Is Busy gains its enormous worth by taking a massive national issue and humanizing it in the bleakest of ways. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Perfectly a Strangeness (2024) EDIT “You don’t question it, you don’t try to analyze it, you don’t try even to understand it. You just go with it.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Butterfly (2024) EDIT “Unquestionably the most beautifully animated of the bunch, this is also the most dramatic in its telling, with warnings that it may not be appropriate for younger viewers.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Retirement Plan (2024) EDIT “Gleeson is wonderful in his voice-over performance with a witty script of possibilities provided by Kelly and co-writer Tara Lawall. This is a gem with simple but clever animation detailing all that life has to offer, or so we think.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Girl Who Cried Pearls (2025) EDIT “[A] beautifully designed work with superb puppetry from past Oscar nominees Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, and exceptional storybook-style narration from Colm Feore.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Forevergreen (2025) EDIT “A delightful and poignant 13-minute short from writer-directors Nathan Engelhardt and Jeremy Spears, with exceptional production design also from the latter.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) EDIT “Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh direct and write the wildly inventive and certainly different 36-minute short that has more on its mind than is plainly evident. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 24, 2026 Full Review I Can Only Imagine 2 (2026) 63% EDIT “It is Ventimiglio who steals the film lock stock and barrel as the affable and relatable Timmons whose strong beliefs and the “X” he draws daily on his pulse serve as the truly inspiring part of this story.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 17, 2026 Full Review At the Sea (2026) 35% EDIT “This latest English-language production for Mundruczó is sadly a miss... This time, even with a talent like Adams at the helm, he can’t seem to get around a very familiar kind of melodrama Hollywood did so much better in the ’50s.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Mouse (2026) 100% EDIT “I cannot say enough about the performance of Mallen-Kupferer, who is perfectly cast and will simply break your heart.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 14, 2026 Full Review
