Bugonia (2025) 87% EDIT “I found myself unable to dive into a proposal so cynical that it seems to lack even an ounce of affection for its characters, directed by a Yorgos Lanthimos who is far too busy thinking about how to shock.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Eden (2024) 58% EDIT “Far from panning the experience, I can do nothing but celebrate the existence of experiments of this caliber, capable of making you react with a rawness and authenticity that very few works can achieve. ” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Together (2025) 90% EDIT “Beyond its lack of significance, the film stands as a commendable piece of entertainment that manages to surprise, taking a few narrative liberties—somewhat deceitful ones, it must be said—to keep the whole thing from collapsing under its own weight.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “'Black Phone 2' may not be perfect, nor is it the sharpest creation from the once-infallible Blumhouse or Derrickson himself, but the director has managed to condense exactly what many of us long for into just under two hours: a small surprise.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “The third installment of the Disney-owned IP which, after its last big-screen appearance in the now-distant 2010, returns to provide a dose of "more of the same" that manages to entertain without fanfare in a clear case of style over substance.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 86% EDIT “A tribute to the radioactive superhero that is as heartfelt as it is clear-eyed, capturing much of the original's essence without hesitating to squeeze every drop out of a juicy budget that Kaufman and company would never have even dreamed of.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Eddington (2025) 69% EDIT “If there is one thing that stands out about 'Eddington,' it is how complex it feels to place it into a single category to accurately describe what awaits the seasoned viewer who dares to surrender to its many pleasures.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 57% EDIT “When the creative leads of the franchise decided to conclude Ed and Lorraine's adventures with 'The Conjuring: Last Rites,' the formula was already burnt out, and the result ended up resembling a fireworks display with wet gunpowder.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review 13 Days 13 Nights (2025) 91% EDIT “A high-voltage political-war thriller —in that particular order— that stands as the French-language reflection of similar products coming out of Hollywood... for better and for worse.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “A roller coaster disguised as a haunted house ride whose main weapon is, at the same time, the major stumbling block many viewers will encounter when facing it: its highly effective narrative approach.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% EDIT “At the end of the day, its merits are enough to unhesitatingly forgive its relative lack of significance and to hope that they keep giving work to Timo Tjahjanto in the U.S.” – Espinof Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Materialists (2025) 78% EDIT “It confirms —though it shouldn’t need to— the director and writer’s talent for crafting precise dialogue, well-rounded and complex characters, and stories with a connection to reality that is as lucid as it is devastating.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “Another landmark of modern horror that shreds your nerves and gut, but above all, annihilates your heart.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% EDIT “An hour and a half of pure, unadulterated entertainment, with laughs guaranteed no matter how many gray hairs you have. And in the middle of 2025, that is an achievement few, very few, productions can claim.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “Another example of how Marvel can do things right when it wants to — though, unfortunately, only halfway.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “A feature film that, when the world is crumbling all around us gives you one of those hugs that warms your heart and says in the kindest possible tone, "Relax, mate, everything’s going to be fine."” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “It makes clear that experiments aimed at appealing to what executives consider "the audience" are usually treacherous ground, at least from a strictly creative standpoint.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% EDIT “A radical, free, and gloriously unhinged work that invites us to celebrate the existence of fearless, unprejudiced artists like Danny Boyle and his collaborators.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Fight or Flight (2024) 76% EDIT “A perfect pick for one of those summer movie nights with friends, where the only thing that really matters is having a great time without holding back.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% EDIT “Even as the weakest of the five big-screen entries released to date, it proves that the John Wick saga still has plenty of gunpowder — and punches — left in the chamber.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% EDIT “An achievement that comes as no surprise at all once you realize that it is, plain and simple, an almost entirely faithful carbon copy of the brilliant original film.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% EDIT “Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning pulls off a peculiar miracle by rising above its many — and not insignificant — problems, ultimately sending you out of the theater with an overall sense of satisfaction.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% EDIT “To reach its apotheotic, five-star display of action wrapped in the aura of masters like John Woo or Johnnie To, a price has to be paid in the form of technical — and, to a lesser extent, narrative — excesses.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% EDIT “The arrival of Thunderbolts* has surprisingly righted Marvel’s ship by following the infallible KISS principle — Keep It Simple, Stupid — which urges simplification across the board, and by returning to its roots… for better and for worse.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% EDIT “A film that goes beyond narrative — even relegating it to a secondary role — to transport us straight into hell in a ferocious audiovisual assault on our senses, rising as one of the finest contemporary works in its category.” – Espinof Jan 20, 2026 Full Review
