2/4
This Is Not a Test (2025) Simon Abrams Soapy’s not bad, but ‘This is Not a Test' lacks the sensationalism or sensitivity to make it more than a wan misfire.

I Can Only Imagine 2 (2026) Nell Minow Those who are already fans will appreciate this chance to share Millard's and Timmons' story, but those who do not know him may find it uninspiring.

The Dreadful (2026) Marya E. Gates I just wish it were a medieval tapestry that worked as a whole, rather than just in fits and starts.

3/4
Redux Redux (2025) Robert Daniels The film’s sci-fi tone holds best, not when the McManus brothers try to explain the technological components, but when these characters’ find solace in their shared trauma.

2/4
Midwinter Break (2026) Peter Sobczynski It proves to be such an overly ponderous exercise that, by the time it finally comes to an end, you may feel so sapped of energy that find yourself struggling to get up out of your seat.

2/4
Last Ride (2026) Robert Daniels There is a good movie lurking within writer/director Cinqué Lee’s survivalist coming-of-age thriller ‘Last Ride.' It’s just suspended between two half-told stories.

2/4
How to Make a Killing (2026) Richard Roeper ‘How to Make a Killing’ makes a half-hearted effort to surprise and maybe disturb us with some late developments, but by that point we’ve been numbed by the film committing the unforgivable crime of being dull.

2/4
Scare Out (2026) Simon Abrams The film alienates and confronts viewers and then reassures us that all that formulaic pressure was actually for a greater purpose. This time, I disagree.

3.5/4
Blades of the Guardians (2026) Simon Abrams The film stands out among Yuen Woo-Ping's best directorial credits thanks partly to its straight-ahead run-and-fight narrative as well as its focus on playful action, movie-star charisma, and pulpy melodrama.

2.5/4
Sweetness (2025) Monica Castillo While 'Sweetness’ doesn’t quite resolve all of its ideas by the end, it’s tense and shocking enough to keep the adrenaline up. That Rylee is such an unexpected conduit for violence is just part of the film’s wicked sense of humor.

3/4
Cold Storage (2026) Glenn Kenny It strikes a nifty balance between the sardonic and the stressful and throws a lot of gnarly gore and gook into the scenario, as a bargain.

3/4
Honey Bunch (2025) Sheila O'Malley In an era of stark division, not to mention demands for simplistic storytelling one can absorb while doing household chores, ‘Honey Bunch' revels in the uncertain, ungraspable, the neither-nor of it all.

3/4
By Design (2025) Peyton Robinson It is not laugh-out-loud funny, but tragically comical, prompting us to laugh at the superficiality and emotional displacement of its existential questions.

3.5/4
Crime 101 (2026) Matt Zoller Seitz This is a special movie. It has a life force unlike any other crime thriller I’ve seen. It’s about characters who suffer a personal failure but emerge transformed.

3/4
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Brian Tallerico It’s a bit haphazard in both structure and messaging, but there’s a creative spark under this one that’s missing from a lot of Hollywood products of late.

4/4
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Clint Worthington It’s also an early contender for the funniest and most charming movie of the year.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
GOAT (2026) Nell Minow Vibrant artwork and a dynamic camera are more memorable than the generic character designs, not to mention the familiar storyline about doing what it takes to achieve your dreams.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
Wuthering Heights (2026) Tomris Laffly Emerald Fennell's 'Wuthering Heights' deserves some recognition for being a movie that Fennell made entirely on her own terms. If only those terms ignited the riotous feelings that we were promised.

Whistle (2025) Simon Abrams This might have been a better movie if its creators embraced their fitful bloodthirst.

3/4
Calle Málaga (2025) Monica Castillo Yet, Touzani’s 'Calle Málaga’ is a reminder to savor the days we have in the places and communities we hold dear.

2/4
Jimpa (2025) Clint Worthington Queer people want more from their rep than being anthropologically observed from the sidelines, and straight people have watched enough 'Drag Race’ to already be familiar with the concepts this film treats as novel.

4/4
Sirāt (2025) Brian Tallerico It’s a reminder of what movies can do when they loosen the restraints of traditional narrative and remember that images are meant to evoke as much as they are to explain.

1/4
Solo Mio (2026) Peyton Robinson The film doesn’t really have any high or low points, just sort of coasting on the kind of mediocrity that’s hard to critique.

1.5/4
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Brian Tallerico By the end, I wasn’t rooting for the fictional Maya to survive the night as much as for the actress who plays her to move on to better material.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
The President's Cake (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz It is notable for its unvarnished, affecting performances; its digitally shot yet eerily film-like cinematography, which packs a mural’s worth of information into deep-focus, very wide frames with rounded edges.

4/4
Pillion (2025) Zachary Lee It's quietly devastating ode to the power of that self-discovery, a reminder that perhaps one of life’s greatest tragedies is that we can’t always remain in a relationship with the people we learn the most valuable lessons from

2/4
Dracula (2025) Glenn Kenny It gets by on the power of Besson (and Landry’s) conviction.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Iron Lung (2026) Zachary Lee Anyone can learn the technical skills of filmmaking, but passion can’t be faked, and Fischbach has the latter in grisly, cosmic spades.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild] (2026) Zachary Lee Having memories keeps people alive, and we can’t remember properly if we’re not given access to the whole story.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) Brian Tallerico Wain and co-writer Ken Marino just don’t find the laughs on this comedic yellow brick road.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
To Hold a Mountain (2026) Brian Tallerico It's cheesy but sometimes all you can do is what you’re capable of today, whether that’s something as simple as tending sheep or fighting back against a military occupation.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) Brian Tallerico There's something undeniably inspiring about seeing Salman Rushdie fight back against those waves. May we all be so strong.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
How to Divorce During the War (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s smart, dryly humorous, and perfectly shot.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
zi (2026) Brian Tallerico There's just not enough to hold onto, resulting a film that’s an admirable experiment but a misfire, nonetheless.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
BURN (2026) Brian Tallerico While it contains some harsh, bleak truths, there’s an empathy for these kids that’s palpable, and it’s the sense that Nagahisa cares about Ju-Ju that makes it work.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Seized (2026) Brian Tallerico The story that Liese tells feels like one that more people need to hear … while we’re still allowed to tell it.

Nuisance Bear  (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s one of the most visually striking films that you’ll see this year.

The Lake (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a strong documentary that understands that this isn’t a simple issue: Asking an already delicate ecosystem like that of the Utahn farmer to put itself in further jeopardy isn’t easy for scientists or the politicians who need their votes.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
The Muppet Show (2026) Brian Tallerico It understands why people still love the original.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Sentient (2026) Robert Daniels Jones’ inability to find a stable middle ground blanches the purity of his intentions, reducing his film’s potent message into an overwrought screed.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Kikuyu Land (2026) Robert Daniels One hopes that this stimulating and well-researched documentary allows the Kikuyus to be heard.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Levitating (2026) Robert Daniels While the film’s ambition... can get the better of it, when its myriad of transcendental scenes do occur, they hit with incredible might.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Huntress (2026) Peyton Robinson Correa crafts a film that doesn’t shy away from the weight of its subject, nor from the understandable, though perhaps unfulfilling claim of its conclusion.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Filipiñana (2026) Peyton Robinson The film’s pace is painstaking, detracting from its attempt to survey the chasm between work and play.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Extra Geography (2026) Peyton Robinson Absurdly funny yet unafraid to tap into the grief in intense female friendships, Manners’ film is not just about growing up but also about bracing against cycles of validation and codependency that we all come to realize must be abandoned.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Troublemaker (2026) Zachary Lee While it makes sense the film wouldn’t quite dive into this, the project is reverent, perhaps to a fault, not critiquing the ways Mandela wasn't always present for his children.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Jane Elliott Against the World (2026) Zachary Lee But there’s a warm irony that despite the film’s title, she’s "against" the world; in reality, Elliott is very much for the world.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Disciple (2026) Zachary Lee This is the stuff of great fiction: the cost of flying too close to the sun, when money and ambition get in the way of brotherhood, and the power of faking it till you make it.

3.5/4
undertone (2025) Brian Tallerico Some will argue that all of the themes of "undertone" don’t connect, but that’s a feature, not a bug. This is a film that doesn’t feel the need to explain itself. Nightmares rarely do.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) Brian Tallerico It seeks to raise awareness and spark conversation more than to draw conclusions.
