2/4
Hoppers (2026) Eli Friedberg It falls well short of providing any satisfying exploration of its weighty theme of persuasion versus violence in the face of oppression.

3/4
Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) Steven Nguyen Scaife By keeping some of its cards close to its chest, Heel respects our intelligence, which helps it to earn its sneakily moving ending.

2/4
Salvation (2026) David Robb When its overlapping allegorical notes harmonize, the film resonates with urgency and genuine horror, but they can also stifle the human aspects of the tragedy depicted.

3/4
Erupcja (2025) Ross McIndoe While it isn’t an overt examination of it in the manner of The Moment, the film does feel like a natural cinematic extension of Charli XCX’s melancholy party-girl persona.

2.5/4
Scream 7 (2026) Taylor Williams This surprisingly refreshing take on familiar material is unconcerned with meta discussions about where the film stands in the canon.

1/4
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Jake Cole Andrew Stanton's film feels less like a film than a commercial for life insurance that got out of hand.

4/4
Queen at Sea (2026) Diego Semerene This is an unvarnished portrait of a family rendered dysfunctional by the inevitability of death.

2/4
Dolly (2025) Steven Nguyen Scaife One senses that Rod Blackhurst knows that Dolly is undernourished, but his attempts to jazz it up by splitting it into transparently titled chapters only calls further attention to that dearth of imagination.

3/4
Mouse (2026) David Robb This is subject matter that might sound heavy, but the difficult feelings dredged up never overwhelm the film’s gentle, character-driven approach.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
My Wife Cries (2026) Zach Lewis The film starts off as an ostensibly simple tale of infidelity before it begins to grapple with even more anxious themes as it shuffles its characters into a series of memorable tableaux.

2.5/4
Ghost Elephants (2025) Derek Smith Ghost Elephants shows that Werner Herzog is fiercely determined to explore new frontiers while they still exist and capture the poetic phenomena of nature and the unshakeable dreams it continues to instill in mankind.

2.5/4
Wolfram (2025) David Robb While Wolfram might struggle to convey a depth of feeling for its characters and the brutal, dehumanizing frontier they call home, it can be an intermittently satisfying good-versus-evil period piece.

3.5/4
In A Whisper (2026) Diego Semerene Leyla Bouzid’s ability to capture the complexities and contradictions of familial affection is what makes In a Whisper so impressive.

2.5/4
Nightborn (2026) Zach Lewis Even if the film has few surprises in store for us, there’s something pleasingly unpretentious about how it leaves little room for subtext throughout.

3/4
Rose (2026) Diego Semerene Freudians will have a field day with Markus Schleinzer’s 17th-century-set folk tale.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Alexander Mooney John Patton Ford cultivates an old-school flair while keeping one finger on the pulse of the current moment.

This Is Not a Test (2025) Ross McIndoe The film struggles to bring its non-zombie characters to life.

1.5/4
Rosebush Pruning (2026) David Robb Only cheap shock value can be gleaned from the film’s cavalcade of blood, semen, animal carcasses, dick pics, and erotic toothbrushing.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Redux Redux (2025) Steven Nguyen Scaife Easy as it may be to imagine a more artful, restrained, and introspective version of Redux Redux, the one we got is satisfying enough that you may want to take it out for another spin.
Posted Feb 16, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Yellow Letters (2026) David Robb While the film’s deft spinning of multiple plates is impressive for a good hour or so, what it’s serving up eventually starts to feel a little undercooked.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Network (1976) Derek Smith Half a century later, Sidney Lumet’s Network remains a darkly humorous and relevant treatise on capitalism’s erosion of morality.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Bride of Re-Animator (1990) Chuck Bowen Bride of Re-Animator is a cold and limp retread of the first film.

2/4
Crime 101 (2026) Kyle Turner Like its main character’s modus operandi as a criminal, the film goes through all the pro forma motions.

3/4
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Marshall Shaffer The film offers a joyous throwback to the optimistic feeling of the early internet creator era.
Posted Feb 10, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
Wuthering Heights (2026) Rocco T. Thompson Like a particularly impressive aspic, Wuthering Heights is tantalizing to behold but not so easy to swallow.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Honey Bunch (2025) Steven Nguyen Scaife The film’s climax is an unexpectedly tender spectacle of body horror.
Posted Feb 08, 2026  Edit critic review
A Woman Under the Influence (1974) Derek Smith John Cassavetes’s films were born out of emotional truth.
Posted Feb 08, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
By Design (2025) William Repass By forcing us to identify with its largely comatose protagonist, By Design arouses resentment in order to shake us out of torpor.
Posted Feb 07, 2026  Edit critic review
My Father's Shadow (2025) Derek Smith Hope and fear are inextricably bound in Akinola Davies Jr.’s semi-autobiographical film.

1/4
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) David Robb It’s easy to imagine the nihilistic avenues that Chapter 3 could have gone down.

1.5/4
Jimpa (2025) Diego Semerene Jimpa’s exploration of non-binary identity ultimately proves superficial.

Josephine (2026) Marshall Shaffer Beth de Araújo’s sophomore feature is a harrowing chronicle of a premature maturation.

Dracula (2025) Jake Cole Not even a typically scenery-chewing Christoph Waltz can enliven the proceedings.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuisance Bear  (2026) Ross McIndoe Nuisance Bear is at its most powerful when its message has been condensed down into a single image.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Invite (2026) Taylor Williams By the time The Invite burrows into the heart of its main characters and reveals the scope of their regrets and longings, it’s hard to argue that it doesn’t strike a chord of genuine emotion.

3/4
Leviticus (2026) Marshall Shaffer As star-crossed lovers resolve to battle their demons rather than surrender, this at times intensely creepy horror tale reveals itself to also be a potent and poignant teen romance.

2.5/4
undertone (2025) Taylor Williams Throughout Undertone, Ian Tuason delights in deploying sound to eerily suggestive ends.

2/4
I Want Your Sex (2026) Marshall Shaffer The film gets too caught up in concern trolling about the sexual timidity of today’s youth.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
House II: The Second Story (1987) Chuck Bowen The film's scattershot, anything-goes approach is occasionally amusing, but horror fans will probably feel baited-and-switched with a title that promises something a little harder-edged.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
House (1985) Chuck Bowen Katt holds House together with his force of personality, but Roger’s semi-comic, semi-poignant unflappability robs the film of emotional stakes.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Justin Clark Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’s obviousness only makes its proximity to the real-life A.I. slop invasion more unnerving, and the extent of what humanity has accepted for convenience’s sake more abhorrent.

3/4
Send Help (2026) Eli Friedberg This is an immensely effective tropical island-set chamber drama in which two characters see their gender and labor relations start to reverse in ways that eventually reveal surprising ambiguities.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Once a Thief (1991) Jake Cole Once a Thief is an outlier in Woo’s mature period, closer in spirit to his pre-breakthrough workman era making comedic genre pictures.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Bullet in the Head (1990) Jake Cole John Woo draws liberally from the trove of Vietnam War movies, staging epic battles in villages with overt cues to Apocalypse Now and mirroring The Deer Hunter’s structure of slow psychological unraveling among friends.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
The Moment (2026) Taylor Williams Farce and sincerity make more odd bedfellows across Aidan Zamiri’s meta mockumentary about Brat Summer.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
To Hold a Mountain (2026) Derek Smith The documentary ultimately reveals itself as a paean to female strength and resistance.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Islands (2025) Taylor Williams The film is most interesting when it's keyed to its main character's existential malaise across what plays out like a White Lotus B-plot.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Natchez (2025) Ross McIndoe With so many engaging voices on offer, Suzannah Herbert wisely chooses to let the locals tell the story rather than providing any explicit narration of her own.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
A Poet (2025) William Repass This finely shaded character study of a recalcitrant social pariah feels more than anything else like an existential parable.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
The History of Concrete (2026) Taylor Williams The odd and poignant The History of Concrete could be seen as a show of Buddhist acceptance on John Wilson's part of art's, and by extension life's, transience.
