7/10
Bodycam (2025) Sarah Musnicky Making great use of shadows and the limited perspective the titular bodycams bring to scene set-ups, this is another decent outing for the director.

4/10
THE BRIDE! (2026) Pedro Luis Graterol An intriguing but unwieldy creation, one that gestures toward something bold without ever fully bringing it to life.

Project Hail Mary (2026) Alyshia Kelly Project Hail Mary is the rare film that does everything right and makes it look effortless.

A Private Life (2025) Claire Di Maio The kind of film where the individual parts are greater than the sum.

Dead Man's Wire (2025) Yasmin Kleinbart Dead Man’s Wire may have its flaws, but Van Sant’s filmmaking and Skarsgård’s campy acting make it mostly entertaining.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Claire Di Maio The Testament of Ann Lee is nothing short of miraculous.

Return to Silent Hill (2026) Justin Carreiro What remains, in actuality, is a flashy and messy film with the appearance of Silent Hill, but with little to no scares and even less depth.

8/10
Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) Kayla Chu Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is a wonderfully refreshing take on a classic fable that brings it into the future for a modern audience.

Arco (2025) Claire Di Maio If only all children’s movies had this level of care for their audience’s intellect and future. If Ugo Bienvenu’s future is one of promise, we’re on the right track.

Send Help (2026) Justin Carreiro McAdams and O’Brien’s strong chemistry charts Send Help into an enjoyable and thrilling experience.

Relationship Goals (2026) Alyshia Kelly Relationship Goals won’t revolutionize the rom-com genre.

The Moment (2026) Jon Winkler All the fans and naysayers of Brat Summer will come away with one solid message for each group. For the fans, it was fun while it lasted. For the naysayers, at least it’s over.

Pillion (2025) Yasmin Kleinbart Leighton’s film is an optimistic coming-of-age film about a man discovering his wants and needs in romance.
Posted Mar 04, 2026Edit critic review
3/10
Wuthering Heights (2026) Kirsten Saylor The romance, the so-called "sexiness," the glossy visuals — none of it makes up for what the story loses. What’s left is a hollow shell, all shock value and aesthetic flourishes.
Posted Mar 04, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
GOAT (2026) Pedro Luis Graterol The film proves that style can invigorate formula, but it also suggests that the next evolution of this animation movement will require storytelling that is just as daring as its visuals to make a slam-dunk.
Posted Mar 04, 2026Edit critic review
5/10
How to Make a Killing (2026) Justin Carreiro Both the characters and the plot stay surface-level. The film doesn’t flesh out the story, instead it chooses to stay a safe, familiar narrative.
Posted Mar 04, 2026Edit critic review
7.5/10
Hoppers (2026) Jon Negroni Charming, thoughtful, and occasionally hilarious. But its optimism feels aimed at a world we no longer live in.
Posted Mar 02, 2026Edit critic review
6.5/10
He's Watching You (2024) Sarah Musnicky With a grieving family at its center and bodies brutally dropping (or, occasionally, being skewered) within a small town, He’s Watching You has enough to get slasher fans interested in tuning in.

The Dreadful (2026) Sarah Vincent Someone make an appointment for Harden to see a chiropractor because she carried this movie on her back. At least a gift certificate for a massage.
Posted Feb 23, 2026Edit critic review
5/10
This Is Not a Test (2025) Sarah Musnicky While Sloan’s story crawls to the surface, the weakness of the surrounding ensemble, which makes up the bulk of the film’s runtime, is harder to ignore.
Posted Feb 20, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Bowels of Hell (2026) Sarah Musnicky For a film centered around the concept of killer toilets, Bowels of Hell more than delivers on the expectations.
Posted Feb 04, 2026Edit critic review
7.5/10
The Muppet Show (2026) Jon Negroni As a piece of entertainment, a statement of intent, and even a proof of concept, the 2026 Muppet Show special is the first Disney-era Muppet project that actually feels like it understands what the Muppets are.
Posted Feb 03, 2026Edit critic review
9/10
Endless Cookie (2025) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis Endless Cookie is entirely unique, to the point where trying to examine it within the confines of traditional film criticism feels like a bit of a fool’s errand.
Posted Jan 16, 2026Edit critic review
9/10
The Chronology of Water (2025) Sarah Vincent The Chronology of Water’s abstract visual language is reminiscent of Train Dreams lyrical and picturesque montages except punk, raw, and jagged.

7/10
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Allyson Johnson A breezy, charming, jet-setting rom-com that delights with strong writing and charismatic leads.
Posted Jan 09, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Jingle Bell Heist (2025) Jose Cordova Jingle Bell Heist doesn’t overstay its welcome. It knows what its strengths are and sticks to them, leaning on classic heist film tropes and a charming cast.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
5/10
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Justin Carreiro Hiding behind all the animatronics is a bloodless, bloated film that isn’t sure where it wants to go, despite its aspirations to keep the fun running free.

9/10
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Yasmin Kleinbart Johnson’s nuanced approach and his diverse cast provide different, complex perspectives.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Dust Bunny (2025) Claire Di Maio While Dust Bunny has its flaws, it’s encouraging to see a wholly original film that has its influences while trying to forge its own.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Is This Thing On? (2025) Jon Winkler It’s a restrained but deeply-heartfelt tale of redemption late in life, while also being one of the best romantic comedies in some time.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
3/10
Song Sung Blue (2025) Alyshia Kelly Song Sung Blue struggles with the transition from intimate documentary to narrative feature. While its intentions are heartfelt, the film’s scope and pacing work against it.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
5/10
We Bury the Dead (2024) Jon Winkler It’s unfair to say that We Bury the Dead is a complete loss. Sadly, it’s not unique enough to rise above prior genre subversions, let alone make up for its own shaky screenplay.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
8/10
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Jon Negroni This is weirdly Avatar at its most emotionally legible, as it’s a blockbuster willing to sit with the psychic toll of endless war, even as it engineers ever-larger battlefields on which to stage it.
Posted Dec 16, 2025Edit critic review
7/10
Hamnet (2025) Jon Negroni Zhao has made a mournful, meticulously assembled film, full of tactile detail and anchored by at least one outstanding performance. I admired it more often than I felt it, though.

8/10
Eternity (2025) Jon Negroni Eternity doesn’t reinvent metaphysical romance, but it does something a little rarer. It treats love with sincerity in a genre that often hides behind cynicism.

Apartment 7A (2024) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis If the film had a more coherent point or was more willing to stand apart from its predecessor, it could have been something truly special. But, like its doomed protagonist, it just keeps stumbling under the spotlight.

Woman of the Hour (2023) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis While Kendrick is clearly still finding her footing as a director, there’s more than enough promise here for viewers to be excited to see what comes next.

Hot Frosty (2024) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis With Hot Frosty, it’s clear there’s still room for plenty of innovation even within the same basic framework. If you’re looking for some heartfelt vibes this holiday season, look no further.

Star Trek: Section 31 (2025) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis It’s hard to ignore the extent to which Star Trek: Section 31, the franchise’s first new film in over a decade, feels distinctly alien from the rest of the Star Trek franchise.

Dog Man (2025) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis Audiences deserve to enjoy a movie as good as Dog Man, and a movie as good as Dog Man deserves an audience.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis Captain America: Brave New World isn’t bad. Not too long ago we would have been able to recognize it for what it is: fine.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis This is a joyful film that posits that animation can be more than billion-dollar box receipts.

Bullet Train Explosion (2025) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis Another feather in the cap of Higuchi, who is demonstrating an incredible talent for breathing fresh and exciting new life into existing franchises.

Mad Heidi (2022) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis It knows exactly what it is and who it’s for and it never pretends to be anything else.

Final Cut (2022) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis At its best, the film’s willingness to acknowledge the challenges of remaking a beloved original empowers its strongest moments. At its worst, these choices only highlight the ways in which the film pales when compared to its predecessor.

Expend4bles (2023) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis Indiscernible from the bargain-basement action films getting dumped onto streaming services with minimal fanfare.

The Animal Kingdom (2023) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis Kircher’s incredibly nuanced performance drives The Animal Kingdom's emotional complexity, driving the film to powerful highs and devastating lows.
