Run Amok (2026) 68% EDIT “Run Amok is stuffed with ideas about school shootings, gun control and mental illness that don’t quite come together into any coherent thesis. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% EDIT “But Greaves puts us right in the room with his naturalistic, vérité approach, making us quiet spectators among some of the most influential Black writers, thinkers, artists and entertainers to ever live.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 74% EDIT “Rock Springs is a big swing from Miao that pays off in the end, blending drama, horror and ugly American history to create a truly heartbreaking and hopefully healing experience.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 13, 2026 Full Review The Dutchman (2025) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “What about our current times suggests a need for renewed interest in Clay and his struggle between Black and white worlds? That question hangs over the entire film. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “Die My Love is a film driven by primal urges. ” – Fishnet Cinema Nov 29, 2025 Full Review If You See Something (2025) EDIT “If You See Something is a flawed film that nevertheless reminds us of the selective cruelty that leaves so many struggling to survive. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% EDIT “Come See Me in the Good Light wants to be life-affirming more than anything else, especially for artists in queer and marginalized communities. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Blue Film (2025) 90% EDIT “Blue Film provokes and captivates in equal measure, with the naked honesty of a black box off-off-Broadway play. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 12, 2025 Full Review The Currents (2025) 100% EDIT “Milagros Mumenthaler paints an intimate portrait of a woman trying to reckon with her fractured identity, trying not to fall into the grip of madness.” – The Film Stage Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 73% EDIT “Hosoda’s vision is a shockingly simplistic interpretation of a complicated, timeless, emotionally rich text.” – The Film Stage Oct 17, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% 3/4 EDIT “This is a good film, but change would be a much greater achievement. How much longer must we studiously document senseless suffering?” – RogerEbert.com Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Barrio Triste (2025) EDIT “It’s difficult to say more about 'Barrio Triste,' a film that makes its statements early and often, leaving us to wallow in the brutal truth of these young men’s lives. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2025 Full Review What Does that Nature Say to You (2025) 100% EDIT “'What Does That Nature Say to You' has a palpable nostalgia to it, viewed through a more critical lens. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Late Fame (2026) 85% EDIT “The classic theatricality of its characters juxtaposed with the modern world gives 'Late Fame' the feeling of a eulogy for an artistic world that young idealists desperately want to revive.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost (2025) 93% 3/4 EDIT “The film is a fascinating window into not only the history of this famous family but also the beautiful and punishing nature of performance itself.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Poetic License (2025) 90% EDIT “Despite its shortcomings, Poetic License is a film with a big heart populated by talented actors genuinely having fun with their characters. It’s a shame, then, that the story begins to fade from memory as soon as the credits roll.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 85% EDIT “Director Pete Ohs juxtaposes the quiet nature of the narrative with straightforward narration that gives the film a novelistic quality. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “Hedda is a delightful, sexy ride made that reminds us that Thompson is a star and DaCosta has many more tricks up her sleeve. It’s good to hear her unique narrative voice again.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Maddie's Secret (2025) 88% EDIT “Every aspect of Maddie’s Secret is indeed made with love, showing reverence for the stylistic flourishes that made TV movies so memorable. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Familiar Touch (2024) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “A gorgeous drama with an open, aching heart.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% EDIT “Aside from one very funny reveal in the film’s final third, Materialists is a romantic comedy with shockingly little humor, mistaking cruelty for sharp social satire. ” – The Film Stage Jun 15, 2025 Full Review Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) 82% 3/4 EDIT “A romantic comedy for the quiet, thoughtful lovers who yearn for the sincerity of the past.” – RogerEbert.com May 30, 2025 Full Review The New Boy (2023) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Newcomer Reid perfectly embodies the spirit of the film, making us feel his confusion and share his joy in the small moments where he’s allowed to be himself.” – RogerEbert.com May 23, 2025 Full Review Summer of 69 (2025) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s a commendable directorial debut, even when the film leans too hard on nostalgia and cliches. ” – RogerEbert.com May 9, 2025 Full Review Seven Veils (2023) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “Egoyan has always delved right into fraught familial ties without shying away from ugliness, and "Seven Veils" is perhaps his most overt exploration of familial trauma. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 10, 2025 Full Review
