Hoppers (2026) Owen Gleiberman “Hoppers” never stops surprising you in rudely antic ways, and that’s the essence of its delight.

An American Pastoral (2024) Guy Lodge Edler’s calmly watchful film trusts in viewers to see the national forest for the trees.

Scream 7 (2026) Owen Gleiberman Williamson has gone back to basics, but the result is a “Scream” sequel that, while it nods in the direction of being seductively convoluted, is really just…basic.

Happy Birthday (2025) Alissa Simon Goher, a screenwriter and producer making her feature debut, proves herself to be a director-writer of uncommon sensitivity. She draws a performance of astonishing depth from Doha Ramadan as Toha.

Midwinter Break (2026) Owen Gleiberman “Midwinter Break” does nothing earth-shattering (it remains wee), but the movie touchingly colors in how it might be possible for two people to know each other too well and also not well enough.

A Child of My Own (2026) Guy Lodge As the film works toward a concluding note of uplift that brings as many questions as answers, one wonders if a straighter documentary telling would be more rewarding.

The Postman (1994) Derek Elley Troisi gives a warm, ironic performance to treasure. But with little extra assist from Radford’s by-the-numbers direction, and a script that starts to become very diffused about halfway through, the bottom line is it’s a performance in a vacuum.

The Ballad of Judas Priest (2026) Catherine Bray There’s plenty to chew on here, then, even if some outside of the metal community might struggle to name a Priest song.

I Can Only Imagine 2 (2026) Owen Gleiberman Even if you go into “I Can Only Imagine 2” feeling immersed in the Bart Millard saga, the new movie is a bit of an odd duck, like a faith-based drama on tranquilizers, because it keeps tossing out conflicts that aren’t all that major (or convincing).

Salvation (2026) Catherine Bray This apposite demonstration of religious convictions being used to prop up concrete actions, spurred on and given fuel by tribalist rivalries, elevates “Salvation” from a merely striking mood piece to an astute psychological study.

The Blood Countess (2026) Guy Lodge It’s more or less a one-joke enterprise -- but when said joke is casting a maximally domineering Isabelle Huppert as a hungry, horny, haute couture-inclined incarnation of Báthory, there’s a devoted audience for whom it will go very far indeed.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
We Are All Strangers (2026) Guy Lodge The film is consistently involving and finally moving, sparked especially by Chen regular Yeo Yann Yann’s wonderful performance as an immigrant outsider in this family and society alike.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
A New Dawn (2026) Murtada Elfadl A New Dawn marks a strong entry into the animation world, and promises much more from Shinomiya. Perhaps next time he can collaborate with an experienced screenwriter.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
How to Make a Killing (2026) Owen Gleiberman In the age of “Dexter” and “Succession” and “Beef,” “How to Make a Killing” just plays as a patchy amusement. Yet I was held by it; the film’s acrid riffs on the hidden depravity of the new greed culture keep it aloft.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Wolfram (2025) Catherine Bray One of the film’s greatest strengths is its look and feel. That’s perhaps unsurprising, since Thornton once more acts as his own DP.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Nina Roza (2026) Guy Lodge A film of many subtle, tricky marvels, Geneviève Dulude-De Celles‘s slowly bewitching “Nina Roza” comes closer than many to conveying that strange, imprecise separation of the soul.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
At the Sea (2026) Guy Lodge A drab and laborious recovery drama with a mystifying amount of major-league talent behind it.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Tyler Perry's Joe's College Road Trip (2026) Owen Gleiberman Perry’s performance is a spectacular piece of high-wire burlesque. There’s an extraordinary spontaneity to it.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Rose (2026) Guy Lodge For all the Olympian acting craft it showcases, “Rose” is no mere performance vehicle.. It’s a work so tightly disciplined in every aspect that any bum thespian note would shatter the whole immaculate construction.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Nightborn (2026) Catherine Bray Grint is a fine choice for the role of Jon, as his screen persona works well with the character's schlubby, well-meaning passivity.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Rosebush Pruning (2026) Guy Lodge Does “Rosebush Pruning” lose some perspective in all this dazzle? Perhaps. But if you’re going to eat the rich, the film reasons, they may as well be delicious.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Dao (2026) Guy Lodge Though its supersized scale and meandering narrative structure may deter less adventurous arthouse distributors, [Alain] Gomis’s latest work nonetheless feels like his most vibrantly expansive and accessible.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Mouse (2026) Peter Debruge A mix of actors of wildly different experience levels, the ensemble meshes together beautifully, reflecting the idea that none of these characters knows quite how to navigate the situation.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
A Prayer for the Dying (2026) Guy Lodge It’s an imposing, ascetic debut, braced by performances of formidable grit and commitment from Johnny Flynn and John C. Reilly.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Guy Lodge What could feel contrived emerges as elegant and honestly felt, a study not just of the tumult that often produces great art, but the silence too.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
In A Whisper (2026) Murtada Elfadl These are believable people, giving the actors complicated feelings to play with. Only when Bouzid deals with the repercussions of homophobic Tunisian laws does the melodrama tip into ham-handedness.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
No Good Men (2026) Guy Lodge No Good Men feels all the more textured and vitally of its moment for its flaws and lapses. It has the unfakeable air of a film made in genuinely urgent circumstances, which makes its emotional surges feel hard-earned.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Crime 101 (2026) Owen Gleiberman Taken as a thriller, “Crime 101” has its indulgences, but by the end it can stand as an advanced course in what underworld dreams are made of.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Owen Gleiberman Here we are again, caught up in the never-ending slow-drip flood of cinematic Dracula mythology, now with Luc Besson’s wan, derivative, dutifully time-period-hopping, different-but-not-really-new take on the vampire legend.

3/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Peter Debruge Literary purists may object, but Fennell seizes on something passionate in the material that was always there but never made explicit, amplifying what has gone largely unrequited all these years.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
GOAT (2026) Owen Gleiberman A vibrant surprise. It’s a highly original and rousing animated feature -- a sports fable with a hip-hop vibe and an off-kilter cosmology.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Dennis Harvey It stretches material that wouldn’t overfill 90 minutes to 4.5 hours, arriving at no worthwhile destination and conveying scant excitement en route. It aims low… and still bunts.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Solo Mio (2026) Lisa Kennedy Some like their rom-coms aching or itching with desire. Others are content to celebrate the affectionate spark. This PG valentine from Angel Studios is very much the latter. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
The Incomer (2026) Tomris Laffly Louis Paxton’s seaside tale starring Domhnall Gleeson alongside the terrific duo Gayle Rankin and Grant O’Rourke is too twee at times, but still winsome and disarmingly good-natured.

Fing! (2026) Tomris Laffly An adventurous spirit, along with generous Spielbergian touches elevate this fable where Taika Waititi plays an oddball villain.

See You When I See You (2026) Peter Debruge On his own journey toward a solo directing career, Duplass has made a movie with audiences in mind -- a story that many will find relatable, whether you’ve lost someone or just felt lost yourself.

Barbara Forever (2026) Murtada Elfadl To heighten the challenge, Hammer has already documented much of that herself in many experimental films about living as a queer woman. O’Connor proves herself up to the task by eschewing the traditional cradle-to-grave narrative.

The Tale of Silyan (2025) Alissa Simon A lyrical and gorgeously lensed documentary hybrid that explores the interconnection between humans, animals and nature.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
All About the Money (2026) Guy Lodge Who is Chambers really, behind all this provocation and prevarication? “All About the Money” never quite finds out, but it excavates enough to hint that he might not know either.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Iron Lung (2026) Dennis Harvey There’s not a lot of plot here, certainly not enough to sustain a full two hours. And those previously unacquainted with the game are likely to make little sense of the few things that do happen.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Bedford Park (2026) Carlos Aguilar Through all these, thankfully, Ahn directs Sukku and Choi into measured performances that not only ring emotionally truthful but complementary.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuisance Bear  (2026) Peter Debruge For all its richness, “Nuisance Bear” doesn’t necessarily enunciate its themes. Instead, the directors trust audiences to extrapolate from Gibbons’ ruminative voice-over.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
To Hold a Mountain (2026) Murtada Elfadl It’s the kind of film that entrances its audience without them noticing. Only at the end does the audience fully grasp the magnitude of the story it chronicles and the natural beauty of the images they have been witnessing all along.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Brittney Griner Story (2026) Lisa Kennedy Converging in Griner’s story are issues around gender, pay disparity in professional sports and evidence of progress of but also hostility to the rights of LGBTQ citizens.

How to Divorce During the War (2026) Guy Lodge A drily witty, subtly searing comedy from writer-director Andrius Blaževičius, “How to Divorce During the War” is both empathetic and surgical as it examines both partners’ attempts to sublimate selfish angst into social activism.

Hold Onto Me (2026) Carlos Aguilar As their bond strengthens under strenuous circumstances, the actors’ performances evolve with the characters.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Shame and Money (2026) Guy Lodge Though his latest is a slow burn offering little in the way of hope or levity, Morina doesn’t trade in one-note miserablism either: Intricately observed domestic dynamics keep the drama textured and humane.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Take Me Home (2026) Lisa Kennedy A deeply felt examination of the challenges so many face when familial love is swamped by economic reality.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) Peter Debruge The project seems to transcend the projects, defying gravity in its poetic depiction of how this resilient, supportive community comes together around Lil Ant, stepping in where his father stumbles to embrace the boy.

Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Siddhant Adlakha Rousing, essayistic.
