Miroirs No. 3 (2025) Tim Cogshell It's the opposite of what Petzold does... He gives us no shocks, no horror. Just the lives of these people.

The Well (2025) Beandrea July What I like about this film is that it's high-concept but simple.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review

My Father's Shadow (2025) Tim Cogshell This is an absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing film.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Tim Cogshell Sarah Michelle Gellar -- Buffy can just not go wrong.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Beandrea July It's not a deep, probing film. It's about blood, guts, and gory silliness -- and it delivers on that.

Project Hail Mary (2026) Tim Cogshell Everybody's going to love this movie.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Wardriver (2026) Tim Cogshell Basically this is a Bogey and Bacall movie with Dane DeHaan, who is really good!
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Refuge (2026) Tim Cogshell This is better than it has any right to be.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Holy Days (2026) Tim Cogshell It's moving, completely obvious in every single way, and I loved it anyhow.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Alpha (2025) Christy Lemire This movie is terrible and a huge letdown.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Alpha (2025) Tim Cogshell What this movie has going for it are good performances -- deeply, deeply moving performances.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) Christy Lemire It leaves you with no actual answer but food for thought.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Marc by Sofia (2025) Christy Lemire Not terribly hard-hitting, but fascinating in terms of process.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Christy Lemire As movies to fold your laundry to go, this is a decent one.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Tim Cogshell The kind of movie where you're just watching along and then woah! Things start happening that you just did not see coming.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Christy Lemire The writing here is really sharp and mean in a way that is very heightened, specific, and funny.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
They Will Kill You (2026) Christy Lemire For me, it's John Wick by way of Looney Tunes.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
They Will Kill You (2026) Tim Cogshell This is just a bat crap crazy movie, and I deeply love it.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
White with Fear (2024) Beandrea July A very interesting look at how dog-whistle politics came to dominate the Republican Party.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Palestine '36 (2025) Christy Lemire Old-fashioned and a little staid... [But] well-done, stirring and dramatic.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Palestine '36 (2025) Beandrea July Is it didactic at times? Of course, but overall it's doing some really interesting storytelling.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office (2025) Charles Solomon A crack film about a crackpot... Why was anybody paying any attention to this man when everything he was saying was so clearly bilge?
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Kontinental '25 (2025) Beandrea July This film really deliberates in its scenes to the point of punishment.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Kontinental '25 (2025) Christy Lemire This features a fantastic performance from Eszter Tompa, who is so understated, humanistic, grounded, and real that you don't feel like you're watching someone who's acting.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Fantasy Life (2025) Christy Lemire It's very warm and wry; a very intelligent New York rom-com.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Fantasy Life (2025) Beandrea July I really enjoyed this! The thematic star of this movie is really mental health.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Christy Lemire It looked quite lovely and is really for little kids -- even more than the first one.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Charles Solomon While it's not the worst of the malignant jollities we've been given as family films recently, it's not good.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Drama (2026) Beandrea July It ultimately feels hollow and gimmicky.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Drama (2026) Christy Lemire Well-made... but grotesque in retrospect.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Outcome (2026) Beandrea July It's just full of talent, but was the most unentertaining thing I've seen in a while.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Birth of the Black Underworld (2026) Tim Cogshell What this film does have going for it is the ferocious performance by Matty [Rich].
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Blue Trail (2025) Beandrea July It's super creative, fun, dreamy, and bold.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
ChaO (2025) Charles Solomon There's not a lot new in the story, but what makes the film interesting is the design and use of color... For designers and students of animation, it offers a chance to see a new vision.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Stranger (2025) Tim Cogshell I like that it's in black and white. I think the black and white makes it work -- makes the "heat" work!
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Stranger (2025) Charles Solomon The biggest problem is not being inside [the main character's] head. You get not only the lack of communication, but no understanding of "why?"
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Faces of Death (2026) Tim Cogshell There are a bunch of Faces of Death films.. This one and the first one are probably the only two you need to see.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Hamlet (2025) Beandrea July If you're not a purist about the Shakespearean text, there's a lot here for you.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Hamlet (2025) Charles Solomon You often feel like you're in a mumblecore Hamlet. The other problem is that if you're going to cut that much of a sacred text, why do you waste the audience's time with endless shots of him walking through rooms?
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Hamlet (2025) Tim Cogshell There are clunky moments... But there are many other moments that are really quite striking.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Christophers (2025) Tim Cogshell This is a really wonderful film. Very funny, but also sort of moving.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
The Christophers (2025) Beandrea July Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel are the platonic couple you never knew you needed.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Exit 8 (2025) Beandrea July It's a really interesting take on a real-life issue that mashes horror and psychological thrillers together.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Exit 8 (2025) Tim Cogshell I can see exactly why this would drive one insane... It really does become harrowing.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Beandrea July If I just said this movie is cute, would that be enough?
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough (2026) Lael Loewenstein The cinematography is just extraordinary.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Mabel (2024) Lael Loewenstein This is a testament to Judy Greer -- she gives it so much backstory.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Mabel (2024) Peter Rainer What I like about the film is that it's a coming-of-age movie that isn't all that predictable.
