Hoppers (2026) Dessi Gomez Hoppers delivers equal parts laughter and compassion with a sprinkle of tear-jerking scenes, as the studio’s narratives are known to do.

Scream 7 (2026) Pete Hammond It may have taken 30 years for Williamson to finally get to steer his own ship, but with Scream 7 it proves well worth the wait. Fans will approve.

Jane Austen's Period Drama (2024) Pete Hammond Jane Austen’s Period Drama is entertaining enough but basically a one-joke premise telegraphed by the cute title.

Butcher's Stain (2025) Pete Hammond Meyer Levinson-Blount’s compelling Butcher’s Stain feels a bit unremarkable until we really see where this is going, a subtle comment on the fraught tensions in the Middle East but played on a simple human level.

A Friend of Dorothy (2025) Pete Hammond Margolyes is an acting treasure, but then we knew that didn’t we? She is perfectly matched with the promising Nwachukwu, who makes a strong impression against a true pro here. It’s a charmer.

The Singers (2025) Pete Hammond Ultimately, The Singers lifts our spirits with hope for humanity and the common good in life.

Children No More: Were and Are Gone (2025) Pete Hammond The film is by design quite repetitive as the number of protesters grows significantly day to day, in increasingly huge numbers, and that is where it gains its power.

All the Empty Rooms (2025) Pete Hammond This 33-minute documentary is not just a portrait of the children lost but also of the reporter determined to use his camera and voice to make sure they are never forgotten.

Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (2025) Pete Hammond This engrossing film takes us all the way from Brent’s life journey to his open coffin and final resting place at home in Arkansas. In doing so it reminds us of the cost for journalists out on the front lines getting it all on camera.

The Devil Is Busy (2024) Pete Hammond The Devil Is Busy gains its enormous worth by taking a massive national issue and humanizing it in the bleakest of ways.

Perfectly a Strangeness (2024) Pete Hammond You don’t question it, you don’t try to analyze it, you don’t try even to understand it. You just go with it.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Butterfly (2024) Pete Hammond Unquestionably the most beautifully animated of the bunch, this is also the most dramatic in its telling, with warnings that it may not be appropriate for younger viewers.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Retirement Plan (2024) Pete Hammond Gleeson is wonderful in his voice-over performance with a witty script of possibilities provided by Kelly and co-writer Tara Lawall. This is a gem with simple but clever animation detailing all that life has to offer, or so we think.

The Girl Who Cried Pearls (2025) Pete Hammond [A] beautifully designed work with superb puppetry from past Oscar nominees Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, and exceptional storybook-style narration from Colm Feore.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Forevergreen (2025) Pete Hammond A delightful and poignant 13-minute short from writer-directors Nathan Engelhardt and Jeremy Spears, with exceptional production design also from the latter.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) Pete Hammond Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh direct and write the wildly inventive and certainly different 36-minute short that has more on its mind than is plainly evident.

Nightborn (2026) Damon Wise Bergholm has a lot of fun with all these elements, and seasoned genre audiences -- who are so very well versed in misdirection by now -- should too.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Queen at Sea (2026) Damon Wise This is a film about facing facts, and, as tough as it is to watch, its hard truths hit home.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
I Can Only Imagine 2 (2026) Pete Hammond It is Ventimiglio who steals the film lock stock and barrel as the affable and relatable Timmons whose strong beliefs and the “X” he draws daily on his pulse serve as the truly inspiring part of this story.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Wolfram (2025) Damon Wise Arthouse audiences everywhere will appreciate the film’s scope and Thornton’s controlled execution. Australian cinema, meanwhile, may just have found itself a new modern classic.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Yellow Letters (2026) Damon Wise A grim reminder that principles mean nothing to those who have none, and that right-wing governments always come for academia first.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Rosebush Pruning (2026) Damon Wise This insane black comedy might well be worth your while, a bad-taste riot that surpasses Aïnouz’s last film Motel Destino in all its candy-colored decadence.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
At the Sea (2026) Pete Hammond This latest English-language production for Mundruczó is sadly a miss... This time, even with a talent like Adams at the helm, he can’t seem to get around a very familiar kind of melodrama Hollywood did so much better in the ’50s.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Rose (2026) Damon Wise [Sandra Hüller's] return to the festival circuit is another remarkable piece of work, one that cements her reputation as a striking yet surprisingly chameleonic talent with Tilda Swinton’s eye for dark but intellectually rewarding material.

Mouse (2026) Pete Hammond I cannot say enough about the performance of Mallen-Kupferer, who is perfectly cast and will simply break your heart.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Damon Wise ...like Gee’s perceptive doc about Joy Division, the highly influential Manchester post-punk band of the late ’70s, Everybody Digs Bill Evans is about the ordinary that feeds the extraordinary and leaves us to figure out the rest for ourselves.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
No Good Men (2026) Damon Wise The way Sadat’s film cleverly weaves western rom-com tropes...is one thing, but its sudden escalation — with just 20 minutes to go — into shocking violence and tangible chaos is a bait-and-switch that takes things to a whole other level.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Wuthering Heights (2026) Damon Wise Bowing to popular demand, Fennell’s lackluster film doesn’t really bother with the stylistic flourishes of the source -- this is really just the Cathy and Heathcliffe show.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Crime 101 (2026) Damon Wise Crime 101 is a hangout movie that would lend itself very well to a spinoff TV series, with a stellar supporting cast that consistently surprises. The key trio, however, more than carry the movie.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
GOAT (2026) Pete Hammond Sony Pictures Animation continues to rewrite the rules for ‘toons and serves up another imaginative and game-changing winner with GOAT, a fun and visually stunning animated feature.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Solo Mio (2026) Pete Hammond The luscious Roman scenery, very rich Italian music and likable cast make this an increasingly rare theatrical entry for the older audience often overlooked outside of streaming.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Melania (2026) Pete Hammond A movie whose release is off-key with so much wrong in this country and this world in the year that has passed since it was shot. "Melania" seems a little too rich for these times.

Shelter (2026) Pete Hammond When you see Jason Statham starring in a one-word title you know exactly what kind of movie you are going to get, and his latest, Shelter, is right on brand.

See You When I See You (2026) Pete Hammond This is a family looking for closure who can’t agree on how to get there. Ultimately, Cayton-Holland’s smart screenplay, an outstanding cast and the sensitive direction of Duplass show us the way.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Damon Wise It beggars belief that, having been sent briefly to Director’s Jail with the middling John Carter, its director would expect a film as woolly and sentimental as this to take him anywhere except backwards.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Damon Wise Harry is a throwback, and so is The Only Living Pickpocket In New York, this modest but really rather mesmerizing and forlorn film, one that’s curated just as much as it is directed.

Fing! (2026) Pete Hammond Director Jeffrey Walker oversees a first-rate production that has created a lushly appointed fantastical world come alive on the screen, and that includes the visual effects puppetry magic in producing the Fing himself.

The Weight (2026) Pete Hammond This proves to be the gritty kind of story that is perfect for a revival, and it also marks yet another high point in the career of Ethan Hawke.

Chasing Summer (2026) Glenn Garner For anyone who escaped a small town, there’s plenty to relate to in this messy dramedy, driven by nostalgia and the emotional weight of going home.

Run Amok (2026) Pete Hammond Give credit to debuting feature filmmaker NB Mager for a bold idea and a teen-driven movie that could spark the right kind of conversation.

Send Help (2026) Pete Hammond Send Help is the first movie gem of 2026, a devilish treat and welcome respite from the real world. It’s a pleasure.

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Pete Hammond Both stars are in their sweet spot with this material and manage to handle not just the huge action quotient here, but also make it believable that in the end Johnny and James are just family, hale and hearty.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) Glenn Garner Although this movie is not going to win any awards or be studied in elite liberal arts colleges, it has the kind of comedic power that ends up becoming a mindless comfort watch for generations to come.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Frank & Louis (2026) Damon Wise Themes of guilt, punishment and redemption are common currency in prison dramas, but Petra Volpe’s terrific Frank & Louis looks at the issue from entirely unexpected and wholly moving perspective.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Invite (2026) Glenn Garner Dedicated to Diane Keaton, The Invite would likely make the late star proud, echoing the neurotic nature of love and relationships, which the beloved writer, director and actress captured so timelessly in films like Annie Hall and Something’s Gotta Give.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Shitheads (2026) Damon Wise Dumb and Dumber meets Midnight Run better reflects the premise; despite the abrasive, sweary title, The Sh*theads is actually a really rather endearing buddy movie.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Gallerist (2026) Damon Wise The film struggles to fill less than 90 minutes. It is, however, fun while it lasts, and the female-skewed script gives food for thought about the male dominance of the art space while making serious points about value and self-worth.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
undertone (2025) Pete Hammond It is creepy as hell, but it lives in reality and travels in soundscapes that even manages to tell us more with our eyes closed rather than open.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
I Want Your Sex (2026) Damon Wise [Gregg Araki is] cinema’s punk poet laureate of Generation X... [I Want Your Sex] is his outreach to Generation Z, a campy, ridiculous, raunchy comedy that riffs on the age gap, and wonderful odd-couple chemistry, between his two leads.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Glenn Garner What fans got instead of the oversaturated music doc genre the film so deliciously satirizes, is a spiritual sequel to Spice World (1997) as a psychological thriller, and I don’t think any of them will complain.
