Hoppers (2026) Daniel Howat This may sound like a hyperbolic statement, but it's true: "Hoppers" is Pixar's funniest movie ever.

Scream 7 (2026) Dan Bayer The film’s refusal to engage with its own material and its franchise’s legacy may not be the only problem with "Scream 7,"but it’s certainly the biggest. For every good element, there’s an equally bad one.

TheyDream (2026) Cody Dericks Before they start their collaboration, the director says to his mom, "Maybe we can work together to create something special." And with the fantastical, powerful "TheyDream," they have.

Home Stories (2026) Ben Rolph It’s a struggle to remain fully engaged throughout the film, and it fails to become anything truly impactful or insightful.

A New Dawn (2026) Ben Rolph "A New Dawn" is a must-watch for anime lovers of Makoto Shinkai, especially, as there are shades of "Your Name" throughout.

9/10
Queen at Sea (2026) Max Borg A difficult watch, perhaps, but also a powerful and rewarding one, as the humanity connecting all the characters emerges in every scene and paints a quietly compelling picture of how we relate to one another

The Blood Countess (2026) Max Borg Isabelle Huppert leads a wonderfully eccentric cast. The visuals are spellbinding throughout, as the film takes us through the Viennese nights and the city's many iconic locations with a morbid twist.

7/10
Iván & Hadoum (2026) Alyssa Christian Rosa focuses here on other things that can get in the way of a new romance. However, the story is predictable, with the members of Iván's family less developed than Iván and Hadoum.

Heysel 85 (2026) Ben Rolph It's a harrowing film that boasts excellent performances, silky filmmaking, and a gripping real-life story that is often forgotten amongst football's biggest and saddest tragedies.

5/10
Dao (2026) Max Borg In its current form, the film is well-intentioned but messy, an exercise in multilayered storytelling that boasts a couple of truly dynamic sequences but otherwise comes off as sluggish as everyone loses the plot.

8/10
We Are All Strangers (2026) Jack Walters "We Are All Strangers" is a relentless crowd-pleaser, buoyed by its humorous character dynamics and heartfelt subplots.

8/10
The River Train (2026) Nadia Dalimonte "The River Train" places us directly into the experience of a young wanderer in search of more. It’s a film that lives by Milo and his father’s recurring phrase, "Don’t think, speak," with the instinctive energy of its storytelling.

8/10
Salvation (2026) Jack Walters "Salvation" certainly won't have you leaving the theater with a renewed faith in the world. Still, it may teach you something crucial about the futility, selfishness, and egoism of militarized revenge.

7/10
Chimney Town: Frozen in Time (2026) Sara Clements "Chimney Town: Frozen in Time" is an adventurous tale of friendship and love that leaves the audience with a joyous feeling in the heart.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Allegro Pastell (2026) Mia Pflueger "Allegro Pastell" strikes a contemporary nerve. There is a certain tension between irony and sincerity, between commitment anxiety and the longing for stability, which probably feels familiar to most of us.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
8/10
Prosecution (2026) Matthew Turner Though often painful to watch, "Staatsschutz" is a powerful and urgent legal thriller that confronts systemic injustice head-on while still delivering the enduring satisfactions of a courtroom drama.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
8/10
Montréal, ma belle (2025) Sara Clements A stunningly gentle masterclass in late-life reclamation, anchored by Joan Chen’s beautiful, profoundly vulnerable performance that captures the rediscovery of one’s own desires with startling honesty.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
3/10
Psycho Killer (2026) Cody Dericks It may seem strange to wish that a film were executed with less polish, but this would’ve at least given "Psycho Killer" a grotesquely charming personality. Instead, it’s an unremarkable and totally forgettable slasher film
Posted Feb 23, 2026Edit critic review
8/10
Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Max Borg And if this is to be the beginning of a new stage of Grant Gee's career, making fiction films, it's certainly a very stylish, moodily compelling calling card.
Posted Feb 21, 2026Edit critic review
5/10
Yellow Letters (2026) Cody Dericks A film like this should strive to make the somewhat abstract yet frightening central threat feel even more real by showing how it can affect individuals, even if they’re fictional.
Posted Feb 21, 2026Edit critic review
6/10
How to Make a Killing (2026) Matt Neglia It’s juggling a lot more than it needs to, and it never fully synthesizes its most perceptive ideas, but it’s powered by another star performance from Powell, keeping it barely afloat.
Posted Feb 18, 2026Edit critic review
6/10
Nina Roza (2026) Sara Clements It flourishes in its tender moments of reflection and memory, using a hauntingly beautiful score and nuanced performances to bridge the gap between a painful past and a hopeful present.
Posted Feb 18, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Midwinter Break (2026) Dan Bayer All this makes "Midwinter Break" a richly emotional midwinter film for audiences starved for restrained, mature storytelling. For older audiences in particular, the film’s themes relating to time and emotional distance will resonate deeply.
Posted Feb 17, 2026Edit critic review
4/10
At the Sea (2026) Ben Rolph "At the Sea" is let down by a shabby, hollow screenplay that can’t be saved by some of Hollywood’s top actors.

7/10
Rose (2026) Ben Rolph Sandra Hüller gets lost in her character’s male persona, aided by some excellent prosthetics and make-up used to rough her up, make her look utterly convincing, and aid in her outstanding performance.
Posted Feb 17, 2026Edit critic review
6/10
Rosebush Pruning (2026) Ben Rolph For some, its extremity will be alienating; for others, its audacity will be exhilarating. "Rosebush Pruning" is undeniably well crafted, but as an absurdist comedy, it ultimately feels more provocative than profound.

6/10
Only Rebels Win (2026) Matthew Turner This is an engaging portrait of a provocative May-December romance, though it ultimately falters when the script loses focus in its second half.

Animol (2026) Ben Rolph Ashley Walters has done a stand-up job in making his directorial debut. It’s clear that his insight and passion for authentically displaying UK culture are a gift, and he has something important to say.
Posted Feb 17, 2026Edit critic review
8/10
Mouse (2026) Ben Rolph The story is emotionally gripping while also having fun and not shying away from its coming-of-age sensibilities. It is a naturalistic gem that demands to be seen.

4/10
A Prayer for the Dying (2026) Mia Pflueger What remains is a hyper-stylized Western that looks extraordinary and feels hollow, a beautifully composed spectacle that burns brightly for a moment before fading almost immediately from memory.

Nightborn (2026) Ben Rolph It's a solid sophomore feature from the director of "Hatching." It's creepy, and the body horror is disturbing. Seidi Haarla is very entertaining as she taps into the animalistic side of her character.

Sunny Dancer (2026) Ben Rolph This is a gem of a film that should be sought out by all.

The Napa Boys (2025) Alex Papaioannou Without a shred of embarrassment or irony in sight, "The Napa Boys" is a film made by people who believe in their sense of humor and hope to share it with audiences in a crowded room to laugh together.

No Good Men (2026) Mia Pflueger In striving to balance critique with hope, it ultimately compromises the force of both.
Posted Feb 13, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Tom O'Brien Not every flourish lands, and certain elements feel under-explained, yet when the film connects, such as during the surprise appearance of a gigantic whiskered creature evoking "Ghostbusters," the result is memorably offbeat

6/10
Crime 101 (2026) Giovanni Lago When it deviates from what has been seen before, "Crime 101" stands on its own two feet. Still, for much of its bloated runtime, the film is merely adequate, rehashing familiar territory while, admittedly, remaining entertaining.

Cold Storage (2026) Dan Bayer Neither funny enough to be a comedy nor scary enough to be horror, the film feels like it’s waiting for the right moment to kick into high gear, but the moment never comes.

7/10
Wuthering Heights (2026) Matt Neglia For those who like their emotions, romance, and cinema big, this is a swooning, breathless experience that will satisfy those desires while leaving you yearning for more. Against all better judgment, the romantic in me fell hard for it.

GOAT (2026) Daniel Howat Familiar as it may be, "Goat" proves that a well-told sports story, even one we have seen a hundred times before, can still feel fresh when it is powered by imagination and sincerity.

Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) Sara Clements It is undeniably well-written, but it’s no easy time to relive. The film leaves you in the quiet, dusty heat of a 2006 summer, reminding you of how hard you had to fight just to survive in your own skin.

The Best Summer (2026) Cody Dericks It’s a good vibe, no doubt about it, but "The Best Summer" struggles to make for a compelling watch, despite the vibrant energy of the performers captured.

Hanging by a Wire (2026) Anna Miller From astonishing drone footage to seamless reenactments and deeply affecting interviews, "Hanging by a Wire" is both impactful and immersive.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
7/10
Jaripeo (2026) Cody Dericks This is far from an objective, Wikipedia-like recounting of the modern-day jaripeo scene. Instead, it’s more focused on the feelings and anecdotal experiences of the queer folk who have made the jaripeo a major part of their lives.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
6/10
Chasing Summer (2026) Daniel Howat Ultimately, "Chasing Summer" works as a loving throwback to raunchy rom-coms. Though it plays things relatively safe, it sticks the landing, offering a warm, hopeful take on what it means to go home again.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
5/10
Tell Me Everything (2026) Cody Dericks "Tell Me Everything" doesn’t completely live up to its title with its half-baked examination of a complicated subject. Although Rosenthal shows excellent stylistic instincts, his storytelling abilities aren’t as sharply defined, at least in this effort.

To Hold a Mountain (2026) Tom O'Brien One woman's fight to stop her country's military from taking over her ancestral land is mirrored by her determination to end her family's generational cycle of violence against women by its men.

Union County (2026) Ema Sasic While the film may not dazzle as a whole, star Will Poulter delivers a nuanced performance that handles this story with care and respect.

How to Divorce During the War (2026) Nadia Dalimonte "How to Divorce During the War" excels as a profound exploration of navigating relationships in an increasingly fragmented world.

Lady (2026) Sara Clements Lady’s journey becomes a visceral reminder that the most radical act a woman can perform in a world built for men is to survive, to remember, and—eventually—sing a song of her own making.
Posted Feb 05, 2026Edit critic review
5/10
Public Access (2026) Daniel Howat It’s informative, but not entertaining, which may suffice for documentaries that are revealing the news, but feels lackluster when documenting a taboo-breaking subject.
