Cold Storage (2026) 79% 3/10 EDIT “Jonny Campbell’s sense of pacing is way off, with much of the movie coming across as a time killing drag, offering up little in the way of humour or horror until nearly the halfway point. ” – The Gate Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 86% 8/10 EDIT “There are many examples of this kind of movie out there, but Crime 101 more than stakes its claim to being a part of a great cinematic lineage.” – The Gate Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% 7/10 EDIT “The chemistry between Melling and Skarsgard is off the charts. They look at each other with such pronounced love and affection that many viewers will likely forget that so much of their relationship revolves around bondage and dominance.” – The Gate Feb 17, 2026 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 98% 9/10 EDIT “Davies captures the time period perfectly, and My Father’s Shadow balances expressionistic flourishes with the raw human emotion that goes hand in hand with being raised by a distant, difficult to understand parent.” – The Gate Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 64% 7/10 EDIT “It’s not as original or boundary pushing as some might be expecting from Charli XCX, but overall, The Moment captures a cultural… well, moment, from a darker perspective.” – The Gate Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Sway (2024) 8/10 EDIT “Don’t let it’s modest appearance fool you. Sway is as deadly as they come.” – The Gate Feb 6, 2026 Full Review A Poet (2025) 100% 6/10 EDIT “But even as it stands in its shaggy form, A Poet is the kind of crowd pleaser that’s made for audiences that can’t stand crowd pleasers.” – The Gate Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 52% 3/10 EDIT “It’s not the least effective take on Stoker’s classic, and it certainly isn’t Besson’s worst film, but Dracula makes viewers wonder why anyone needed or wanted this thing to happen when there are so many better takes out there.” – The Gate Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 70% 8/10 EDIT “The unlikely, but inspired pairing of boundary pushing director Josephine Decker and writer/star Iliza Shlesinger turn in one of the finest and funniest romantic comedies in recent memory.” – The Gate Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% 6/10 EDIT “While the plot of Shelter is as predictable as these things tend to get, the film as a whole keeps things entertaining and refreshing by actually allowing its cast members to give well crafted performances amid some nifty action sequences” – The Gate Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 6/10 EDIT “Although it takes a roundabout and not always emotionally logical way of arriving at its destination, Send Help is a fun, nasty, and rousing bit of wish fulfilment for anyone who has felt picked on or bullied in the workplace by an idiotic boss.” – The Gate Jan 27, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 4/10 EDIT “Zlotowski deals with a lot of loaded topics ripe for emotional explanations and payoffs, but none of them offer much in the way of primal or intellectual impact. ” – The Gate Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Charlie the Wonderdog (2025) 42% 4/10 EDIT “Charlie the Wonderdog is a whole lotta nothing. It’s not bad enough to be offensive, creative enough to be interesting, or anything at all worth talking about. It’s just there. It exists.” – The Gate Jan 15, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 6/10 EDIT “[T]he kind of pop art story that doesn’t want to drag things out or bog things down. It offers up the barest necessities for one’s enjoyment and doesn’t let up on the gas unless absolutely necessary.” – The Gate Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 9/10 EDIT “Straddling the odd, primal line between being highly entertaining and upsetting, this follow-up to its comparatively subdued predecessor from last year... goes for pure overkill and succeeds.” – The Gate Jan 14, 2026 Full Review 76 Days Adrift (2024) 6/10 EDIT “It’s Callahan’s recounting of a lengthy, life threatening scenario that makes this one so compelling and riveting; less so the construction of the documentary itself.” – The Gate Jan 14, 2026 Full Review DJ Ahmet (2025) 92% 7/10 EDIT “DJ Ahmet is cinematic comfort done well, with Unkovski preferring quiet moments to saccharine sweetness or an abundance of grand, sweeping gestures.” – The Gate Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “Polinger’s approach to a bleak time in the lives of many young people is as unsettling as it is delicate; refined as it is revolting to sometimes watch.” – The Gate Jan 1, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% 6/10 EDIT “It’s not a consistently assured film, especially down the stretch, but We Bury the Dead has a lot of good ideas, notions, performances, and smart writing to keep things engaging.” – The Gate Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 8/10 EDIT “ It’s the perfect antidote for heavier awards fare and bloated, inescapable studio blockbusters. Sure, it’s a popcorn movie at heart, but sometimes The Housemaid is exactly what the doctor ordered.” – The Gate Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 5/10 EDIT “Although Avatar: Fire and Ash is yet another gorgeous looking technical achievement from director and co-writer James Cameron, this third instalment in his boundary pushing franchise is a major letdown on every other level.” – The Gate Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% 9/10 EDIT “Even if the viewer doesn’t have prior knowledge of any of the figures, luminaries, and acquaintances being brought up in conversation, Sachs and Whishaw find ways of making everything accessible amid such an experimental concept.” – The Gate Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a niche film and a crowd pleaser at the same time; a studious exercise in genre homage that seeks to give audiences a chaotic mash-up the likes of which they’ll never see again. ” – The Gate Dec 12, 2025 Full Review La Grazia (2025) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Maybe Sorrentino has gone soft as of late. Or maybe he has just figured out how to better modulate his impulses and fetishes and turn them into stories that have just as much substance as they do style.” – The Gate Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Cutting Through Rocks (2025) 100% 7/10 EDIT “This could benefit from some additional external perspective, but as a series of well observed moments that resonate on a level that most viewers will be able to understand, Cutting Through Rocks is worth the struggle.” – The Gate Dec 11, 2025 Full Review
