Midwinter Break (2026) 45% EDIT “The saving grace of “Midwinter Break” is the pair of stellar leads, who would be appealing to watch just fumbling for their reading glasses. That also happens to be the pinnacle of action, however, within this prosaic drama.” – New York Times Feb 20, 2026 Full Review By Design (2025) 71% EDIT “Kramer has constructed an ironically detached artifact that invites questions about ownership and image and then bats them away, making it a frustrating experience with an intriguing veneer.” – New York Times Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 55% EDIT “If only the film didn't ask the audience to invest in so very many subplots; the clutter ends up sucking the air out of all of them.” – New York Times Feb 5, 2026 Full Review See You When I See You (2026) 71% B- EDIT “It’s so earnest, so vulnerable in its portrait of the disappointments and anxieties of young adulthood, that one tends to forgive its tweer flights of fancy.” – IndieWire Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Leviticus (2026) 95% B+ EDIT “Leviticus is not a perfect horror film; its ending feels abrupt, and some side plots feel unfinished. Wasikowska, doing her best with a thin character, feels particularly overlooked. But the film’s moody atmosphere makes it an enjoyably disquieting ride.” – IndieWire Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) 100% EDIT “Talankin is the hero of “Mr. Nobody,” an effective look of one man’s resistance against President Vladimir V. Putin’s patriotic curriculum policy. ” – New York Times Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 93% EDIT “Here is a movie whose atavistic excursion through time transfixes, even as its psychology remains as fuzzy as a photograph smeared by motion.” – New York Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% EDIT “We Bury the Dead is most haunting when it gestures at a world dazed with trauma and explores a path to personal closure through collective efforts.” – New York Times Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “Brimming with good nature, even in its more flat-footed sequences, “Goodbye June” wants us to know that none of these traits or familial currents are immutable — especially not in the face of a dying parent with a sharp tongue.” – New York Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% EDIT “Directed by Jim O’Hanlon, “Fackham Hall” is enlivened by its cast of actors, who ride the waves of wordplay with a game commitment to the bit.” – New York Times Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% EDIT “Expressive visuals and evocative scenes, including one involving an overactive meerkat, make “Left-Handed Girl” a memorable family affair.” – New York Times Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% EDIT “While the film centers on the comfort Anand finds with Balya and vice versa, it is also an elegantly reserved study of Anand’s grief, finding a rhythm in its scenes of ritual that allows us to ache alongside.” – New York Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Bunny (2025) 79% EDIT “Bunny is a New York movie that eschews realism but still brims with authentic affection, and in doing so, bursts with life.” – New York Times Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Sarah's Oil (2025) 85% EDIT “A David and Goliath story with big feelings, edifying speeches and a swelling score, “Sarah’s Oil” is a movie that will surprise nobody.” – New York Times Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “While DaCosta’s intelligence as a writer and director makes “Hedda” a standout film, her penchant for play makes it a delightful one.” – New York Times Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% EDIT “It’s formulaic and predictable, with goofy writing and clumsy editing. The saving grace is the actors, who manage to perform even the most ridiculous lines with a straight face.” – New York Times Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “Here is a protagonist who clearly straddles the line between right and wrong; the trouble is that in “Roofman,” that line wobbles, leaving the movie somewhere between a fun-loving caper and a finger-wagging morality tale. ” – New York Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Steve (2025) 78% EDIT “In hewing closely to Steve, the whole affair takes on a grating note of self-sacrifice, of perseverance through suffering” – New York Times Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) 85% EDIT “Gabby’s Dollhouse is strictly not suitable for anyone over reading age. If parents want to stay awake through the drivel, I’d suggest bringing a book.” – New York Times Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) 98% EDIT “For the casual fan, the chief reason to seek out “Infinity Castle” is for its visuals, which position passionately emotive characters over impressionistic backdrops. ” – New York Times Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Peacock (2024) 100% EDIT “Watching Matthias on the job is entertaining enough, even as the movie’s allegorical ambitions are stymied by a narrative inertia, and by a sneaking suspicion that we’ve seen this sort of social commentary before.” – New York Times Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% EDIT “The History of Sound doesn’t trust its own gentleness, and the inertia of the filmmaking gives the whole affair a detached, try-hard feeling. ” – New York Times Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Tinā (2024) 95% EDIT “There's just too much story to stuff into a two-hour running time, and the events — including not one but two critical health crises — demand more than passing scenes.” – New York Times Sep 4, 2025 Full Review A Little Prayer (2023) 94% EDIT “This is a filmmaker able to wrest real feeling from his actors, and from his audience.” – New York Times Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Eenie Meanie (2025) 43% EDIT “Despite its title sounding dangerously like a kids’ movie, “Eenie Meanie” is a bloody heist film that brims with cheap thrills and tawdry action. ” – New York Times Aug 22, 2025 Full Review
