Normal
(2025)
|
Sean Boelman
|
While it would have been stronger had there been more excitement in the first half, the back half more than makes up for it with some incredibly propulsive, fun action that will have you laughing and on the edge of your seat.

Sender

You can tell that there is something special beneath the surface in Sender, as there are enough glimpses of really interesting filmmaking throughout. However, the final product is just too messy and scattered to be fully effective.

Wishful Thinking
(2026)
|
Sean Boelman
|
Although it doesn’t fully deliver on the promise of its creative premise, Wishful Thinking is the type of romantic comedy that’s hard not to fall in love with, if only out of the strength of its two lead performances.

Although it isn’t as original as it seems to think it is, The Fox works as a satire because of a wicked sense of dark humor, a stellar cast, and an abundance of style.

The Saviors
(2026)
|
Sean Boelman

That’s not to say that anti-Arab discrimination has gone away, but it feels like we are past needing satires that stop at saying "maybe all Muslims aren’t terrorists," and instead need films to interrogate the systems that got us to that point.

There’s a darkness to Drag that lesser films would default to so they could score points with the audience. However, by being true to their vision, they make a far more effective experience.

The Sun Never Sets
(2026)
|
Alan French
|
While we wanted Joe Swanberg to return to the big screen with new ideas and concepts, he falls back into clichés about relationships. Dakota Johnson and Cory Michael Smith provide some new textures to the film, but the themes are too one-note.
