4/4
Hoppers (2026) Nell Minow 'Hoppers’ is Pixar at its best, a story with warmth, humor, exciting action, endearing characters, and a reassuringly expansive notion of community.

2.5/4
Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz This one tells an involving story (for fans, anyway) but serves mainly as advertising and image maintenance for its star, and an investment for him and various parties that represent the star’s music, past and future.

3/4
For Worse (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz This is a more-than-solid observational comedy with a melancholy undertone, reminiscent of early Albert Brooks movies like 'Modern Romance.'

2.5/4
Crazy Old Lady (2025) Carlos Aguilar The film allows Maura to mutate from the vulnerability of a woman grappling with long-suppressed trauma to the deranged glee of someone enjoying causing their victim pain.

2.5/4
K-Pops! (2024) Clint Worthington It’s almost a blessing that 'K-Pops!’ is maybe the healthiest, sunniest example of an American artist leveraging his life story into cinematic form.

3.5/4
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Sheila O'Malley Baz Luhrmann, the current Poet Laureate of Elvis, wants to not only bridge the gap between the image and the man, but to celebrate the image—and the man—in as unadulterated a way as possible.

1.5/4
Dreams (2025) Brian Tallerico It is so aggressively affectless that it’s ultimately as forgettable as its title, something you might half-remember after waking up.
Posted Feb 27, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Undercard (2025) Peyton Robinson ‘Undercard’ is a relationship drama disguised as a boxing film, but it doesn’t succeed in either realm.
Posted Feb 27, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Scream 7 (2026) Brian Tallerico Every aspect of 'Scream 7’ feels rushed and shallow. It’s visually atrocious, suffering from the low-lighting choice that afflicts so many modern movies, and it’s cut together with halting, stilted rhythms.

4/4
Ghost Elephants (2025) Peter Sobczynski It’s a portrait of obsession that, while gentler than some of Herzog’s other works, is mesmerizing from the first moment to the last, yet another title of note in what remains one of the most incredible filmographies of our time.

2.5/4
The Bluff (2026) Simon Abrams ‘The Bluff' exemplifies a very enjoyable type of nostalgia-bait, even if it’s never as good as its elevator pitch.
Posted Feb 25, 2026  Edit critic review
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.

3/4
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.

2/4
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.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
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.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

How to Divorce During the War (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s smart, dryly humorous, and perfectly shot.

zi (2026) Brian Tallerico There's just not enough to hold onto, resulting a film that’s an admirable experiment but a misfire, nonetheless.

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.

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.
