Jane Austen's Period Drama (2024) William Bibbiani The cinematic flourishes go a long way towards elevating 'Jane Austen’s Period Drama' beyond what could have been just a memorable 'Saturday Night Live' sketch, and into a truly brilliant short comedy.

Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) William Bibbiani Lushly photographed, sensitively acted and delicately balanced between its love, tragedy and satire.

Butcher's Stain (2025) William Bibbiani It’s such a tightly-woven net that Levinson-Blount’s film seems almost inescapable, yet the film’s smart ending reveals that 'Butcher’s Stain' has a bitter sense of humor. And the final shot puts it all in a haunting, stark relief.

A Friend of Dorothy (2025) William Bibbiani A kindhearted, excellently crafted tearjerker. It’s also a little cliché and heavy-handed, but that’s no great sin when the storytelling is genuine and the emotions are earned.

The Singers (2025) William Bibbiani Davis, who also edited and photographed 'The Singers,' does an inspiring job of evoking a dreary atmosphere, then piercing it with the unlikely power of song. [...] It’s glorious.

Children No More: Were and Are Gone (2025) William Bibbiani One of the film’s subjects says that 'It will take generations to understand the denial we’re in.' When that day comes, docs like 'Children No More: Were and Are Gone' will illuminate the shocking mentalities of this era.

All the Empty Rooms (2025) William Bibbiani It’s not self-congratulatory — that would be repugnant, so don’t worry, the focus is still the children and their families — but Hartman is on a journey, and that journey changed him and his photographer.

Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (2025) William Bibbiani As an ode to a fallen journalist, 'Armed With Only a Camera' accomplishes the important goal of introducing us to Brent Renaud, making us care about him as a human being, and helping us understand the impact of his work.

The Devil Is Busy (2024) William Bibbiani An unassuming, morally complex look at people who care about others and wrestle with difficult moral and ethical questions… the devils be damned.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Perfectly a Strangeness (2024) William Bibbiani The visual juxtaposition is peacefully apocalyptic, as we ponder where everybody went, and the significance of animals engaging, obliviously, with the machinery mankind created to investigate the unknown.

Retirement Plan (2024) William Bibbiani At a tidy seven minutes, the plotless 'Retirement Plan' may look simplistic, but there’s real depth in John Kelly’s dry, thoughtful short

Butterfly (2024) William Bibbiani If you know nothing about [Alfred Nakache], 'Butterfly' will teach you with sensitivity, grace, and a direct approach to the evils of the Nazi regime.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
The Girl Who Cried Pearls (2025) William Bibbiani An impressive technical accomplishment, flashing back from slick opulence into a miserable, bedraggled past, where the figures and environments all look the creations of a very depressive mind. The tale itself is clever, even challenging...
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
The Three Sisters (2024) William Bibbiani It’s skillfully crafted and genuinely whimsical, it just doesn’t amount to much.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Forevergreen (2025) William Bibbiani Unlike some other heart-tugging Oscar-nominated animated shorts from recent years (I’m looking at you, 'War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko'), 'Forevergreen' never overplays its hand.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Psycho Killer (2026) William Bibbiani Sadly, 'Psycho Killer' wasn’t made with style in mind. Actually, it doesn’t seem to have anything on its mind. It’s a rudimentary cat-and-mouse thriller with laughable ideas about Satanism and an absurd, cringy ending.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
How to Make a Killing (2026) Matt Goldberg Although "How to Make a Killing" is far from the first eat-the-rich film we’ve seen in recent years, it knows how to be fleet-footed enough to never play as preachy or pedantic.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Cold Storage (2026) William Bibbiani Keery and Campbell need laid-back vibes for most of their scenes to work, but without a sense of urgency, the whole genre element falls flat.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Solo Mio (2026) William Bibbiani If anything it’s got a staggering amount of heart. It’s the latest Kevin James film that didn’t need to go this hard, but thank goodness it did, because it’s a lovely piece of work.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Crime 101 (2026) William Bibbiani The plot can be humdrum, and it often lacks drive, yet the skilled cast and sleek visual style keep our eyes locked on the screen anyway.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Matt Goldberg The pitch-black comedy frequently threatens to overwhelm but thrives on the bleakness of our tech dystopia.

Wuthering Heights (2026) William Bibbiani Damn it, this movie looks good, but damn it, this movie ain’t good.
Posted Feb 10, 2026  Edit critic review
GOAT (2026) William Bibbiani Say what you will about the premise, but if you think that’s all there is to 'Goat,' you’re going to bleat those words.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
7/10
The Incomer (2026) Matt Donato It’s an easy, breezy character study with fantastical flourishes, but the focus always remains on inviting performances.
Posted Feb 08, 2026  Edit critic review
Pillion (2025) William Bibbiani Kinky as hell and also extremely romantic. That’s not a combo a lot of movies go for nowadays, let alone pull off this beautifully, and that makes 'Pillion' something of a miracle.

Whistle (2025) William Bibbiani Even though 'Whistle' offers nothing new to the supernatural death curse genre, it’s directed by Corin Hardy, and Corin Hardy likes to go hog wild.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) William Bibbiani They say 'If it ain’t broke don’t fix it,' and they didn’t. They just broke it, seemingly on purpose.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Relationship Goals (2026) William Bibbiani It’s just shameless promotion for a book about relationship advice, released on a streaming service that also sells happens to sell the book. It even features lines like, 'This story hit so hard I Amazoned a copy of ‘Relationship Goals’ right away.'
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Seized (2026) Elizabeth Weitzman Not just a tribute to the power of journalism and the persistence of civil determination, but also a masterclass in storytelling structure.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Melania (2026) William Bibbiani I have no idea why she was okay with this movie being released, because Brett Ratner couldn’t find the humanity in a funeral. Literally.

Shelter (2026) William Bibbiani Jason Statham knows how to Jason Statham, and as usual, he Jason Stathams Jason Stathamly.

Filipiñana (2026) Chase Hutchinson Both everything and nothing happens in "Filipiñana," the cutting, confident, and ultimately formally captivating feature debut from writer-director Rafael Manuel.

If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) Chase Hutchinson It’s a film that, even when the end stumbles ever so slightly and steps away from its greatest strength in star Danielle Brooks, proves to be a vibrant vision of a family trying to find their way through the world.

In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Drew Taylor Either way, it’s hard not to be impressed by Stanton’s earnestness and ambition; even at a relatively modest scale, it’s clear you’re in the hands of a visionary.

When a Witness Recants (2026) Matt Donato The documentary’s power shines through in its final act, when Porter dares to push beyond the informality of talking heads.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Troublemaker (2026) Matt Donato It’s a daunting, overwhelming playbook that details how to disassemble oppressive regimes ... less a high school social studies essay and more an examination of the act of rebellion.

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) William Bibbiani The pros don’t come from trustworthy sources and the cons require a lot more elaboration.

The Weight (2026) Chase Hutchinson Throughout it all, Hawke is mesmerizing. The action scenes are tense and well-executed, though it’s the way he grounds it that makes you feel every setback.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
See You When I See You (2026) Chase Hutchinson There is a tension that comes from the humor clashing with the tragedy, but it’s a worthwhile one. Life is full of sudden loss and then also ridiculously funny moments. Capturing that authentically is no small feat, but Duplass does so with delicate care.

The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Chase Hutchinson Noah Segan’s "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York" is a film of rich pleasures, just as its protagonist is struggling to find any riches of his own.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Elizabeth Weitzman Extraordinary. As essential an historical document as you could ever hope to find, it should be considered required viewing for every American who has the slightest interest in our nation’s history, politics, or culture.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Antiheroine (2026) Chase Hutchinson It’s a candid, compassionate and comprehensive portrait that, while somewhat standardly constructed, taps into something much more incisive than is common for this type of work.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Give Me the Ball! (2026) Matt Donato It’s an ode to perseverance and refusing to be told you can’t succeed ... King’s altruisms are the spark that keeps flames of protest and change ablaze.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Run Amok (2026) Elizabeth Weitzman The film’s darkly comic bravado is undeniably bracing.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Take Me Home (2026) Elizabeth Weitzman With its uniformly memorable performances and unusually persistent compassion, "Take Me Home" serves as a moving cri de coeur.

Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) Zachary Lee Through Rushdie’s path, we see a way to put our pain in its proper place, acknowledging that it does not have to be the sole way in which we’re defined by the world.

3/5
The Rip (2026) Matt Goldberg Joe Carnahan's crime thriller feels like a nice throwback to '90s genre pictures, but it pulls a few too many punches.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Ghost in the Machine (2026) Chase Hutchinson Valerie Veatch’s blistering "Ghost in the Machine" is a radical, necessary Molotov cocktail of a documentary that’s being thrown right into the heart of our nonsense, nightmarish world of overinflated AI hype.

Frank & Louis (2026) Matt Donato A sentimental glimpse into incarcerated lifestyles that stitches hope into a tapestry of emotional storytelling.

3/5
The Gallerist (2026) Matt Donato It’s far-fetched and diabolical in the right moments, however stunted the overall execution becomes ... Perhaps not the perfect score, but a nifty, noxious endeavor nonetheless.
