Their Town (2026) EDIT “Their Town is an affirmation of existence for all of us, no matter what age.” – Film Obsessive Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 83% EDIT “Forbidden Fruits has the pieces of a cult classic, they just belong to different puzzles.” – Film Obsessive Mar 21, 2026 Full Review A Safe Distance (2026) EDIT “A Safe Distance is about what happens when we get too close, both physically and emotionally, and how liberation can confine those it seeks to free.” – Film Obsessive Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 95% EDIT “Hokum doesn’t have sharp teeth, which makes it difficult to sustain a feeling of tension or fear. Without that, there’s not much left in the world of horror movies, and Hokum feels vaguely empty-handed.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Cornbread Mafia (2026) EDIT “Cornbread Mafia is one of those stories that would be too ridiculous to believe if it were written as fiction. How could a group of farmers in a town of 200 in Kentucky be responsible for tons of marijuana over the course of a decade?” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Adam's Apple (2026) EDIT “Adam’s Apple is an attempt to capture life’s beautiful, fleeting nature and the changes we all go through to find ourselves.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Black Zombie (2026) EDIT “"Haiti is not resilience. Haiti is resistance." It’s hard to disagree with that sentiment when the history of the nation is explained so eloquently in Black Zombie, a multigenerational, multilayered production that captures the richness” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story (2026) EDIT “Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story is for the rambunctious, fierce girls who saw the endlessness of adolescence as a chance to try a million different things. To act, to sing, to borrow a line from Hamlet, to dream.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Anima (2026) 91% EDIT “Anima is about the ineffable nature of connection and its ability to be brief, disjointed, or lengthy. The beauty of it, the reason we crave it, is that we cannot know which version we’re going to get until it happens.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Drag (2026) 100% EDIT “Drag is the type of movie that’s intoxicating to experience for the first time and every time after.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Sparks (2026) EDIT “Sparks is a lightning bolt of technicolor to the French New Wave by way of the dreamy, magical, sprawling American West.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Monitor (2026) EDIT “Monitor is a stressfully executed debut feature, Polly and Black are an excitingly confident new voice in the horror genre.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) 100% EDIT “Big Girls Don’t Cry captures how humiliating it feels to be a teenager who just wants to be seen for themselves despite not knowing who they are.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Brian (2026) 100% EDIT “Brian is an instant classic filled to the brim with comedy, heart, and love for this one life of ours.” – Film Obsessive Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% EDIT “Builds on the bloody mess its predecessor created to make a sweet, gnarly little popcorn flick about saving the world by making amends with your sister.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Mar 16, 2026 Full Review The Snake (2026) EDIT “The Snake may seem like a rambunctious odyssey across Prince Edward Island, but that skin is quickly shed to reveal something much more emotionally resonant.” – Film Obsessive Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Edie Arnold Is a Loser (2026) EDIT “It’s a loud, riotous celebration of being true to yourself, whatever that looks like. Edie Arnold might be a loser, but Edie Arnold Is a Loser is a real winner.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Kill Me (2026) 100% EDIT “Part murder mystery, part comedy, Kill Me is a wholly unique beast, much like mental illness.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Your Attention Please (2026) EDIT “Your Attention Please isn’t hiding the fact that it wants your focus, but in doing so, it wants to give you back your life.” – Film Obsessive Mar 13, 2026 Full Review I Love Boosters (2026) 100% EDIT “I Love Boosters is hard to contain, and that makes for a hell of a ride for the viewer. Big, bold, and truly visionary, Riley has given himself, his cast, and his crew a playground on which to make a film so rooted in madness. ” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Silver Star (2024) EDIT “The road trip movie has always been about reinvention, and in the case of Silver Star, it’s a rebirth as well. A means of finding a place in this world through a connection with someone else.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Mar 11, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “In The Bride!, there’s enough interesting scaffolding to believe that another version of this movie exists, and that it could capture the distinct feminine rage of feeling voiceless.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Mar 11, 2026 Full Review All Saints Day (2025) EDIT “An under-the-radar indie gem, All Saints Day is a portrait of a family that exposes warts and all in the hope of forgiveness.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Danny Is My Boyfriend (2025) EDIT “Danny Is My Boyfriend is an utter disaster in the best possible way. A trainwreck that’s as fun as it is colossally, catastrophically dramatic, masterfully realized by Sandler and Lakatos.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Feb 22, 2026 Full Review BRB (2026) EDIT “Sisterhood is a series of contradictions that BRB masterfully encapsulates in a messy road trip flick whose tenderness is undeniable.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Feb 21, 2026 Full Review
