Crime 101 (2026) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is a special movie. It has a life force unlike any other crime thriller I’ve seen. It’s about characters who suffer a personal failure but emerge transformed. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 13, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “It is notable for its unvarnished, affecting performances; its digitally shot yet eerily film-like cinematography, which packs a mural’s worth of information into deep-focus, very wide frames with rounded edges. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 73% 3/4 EDIT “Although it looks backward to previous Hollywood hits, in all the ways that count, this movie is the future.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “But there are so many compensations that it’s very much worth seeing for anyone who loves horror—especially the atmospheric and gory, dread-based type, rather than the kind that is single-mindedly obsessed with staging jump-scares.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “One of its more quietly revelatory qualities is how it captures the way authoritarianism accelerates during wartime.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 57% 3/4 EDIT “'Night Patrol' is far from perfect, but it’s got a certain something that pulls you in. The bleakness of its worldview is matched by the integrity of its filmmaking and performances. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) 92% 2/4 EDIT “That 'Deepfaking Sam Altman' is earnest and curious and full of fun thought prompts ultimately makes it more frustrating than a flat-out bad movie would have been.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Space/Time (2025) 2/4 EDIT “… the hurtling camerawork, jagged edits, brutal physical confrontations, and bone-rattling sound design will send you home feeling like you’ve had an experience.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Holding Liat (2025) 95% 3/4 EDIT “The movie itself tends more towards the force majeure approach, though it can’t help but get specific when it focuses on Yehuda. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 4/4 EDIT “It’s unabashedly inspired by the best crime dramas from the 1970s, including 'Dog Day Afternoon,' 'The Sugarland Express,' ‘Network,' and ‘Badlands,’ and can stand proudly alongside them.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 4/4 EDIT “Jim Jarmusch’s latest, an anthology about families, is about words not spoken, and people gone but not forgotten.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% 4/4 EDIT “ There is no such thing as too many butt jokes. … The makers of ‘SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: Search for SquarePants' understand this, which is why the movie averages one butt joke every five minutes. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “The alchemical collision of the actors, the style, and the real-life settings result in a film so attentive to fluctuations in the characters’ emotions that watching them exist is exciting. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The King of Color (2025) 3/4 EDIT “It’s a smart, mostly light movie that will teach viewers a lot about processes they might not otherwise think about.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 3/4 EDIT “This isn’t a classic, but it’s good enough to make you think Fuller has a classic in him.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “Despite constraints, movie magic happens anyway.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% 4/4 EDIT “This is a tremendous visceral experience, with radiant colors, slate-somber black-and-white, and geysers of crimson blood. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/4 EDIT “This is one of the year’s best films, and one of the most distinctive.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Sallywood (2024) 3/4 EDIT “It’s a peculiar little movie that might seem grating or just overly earnest at first, but grows on you if you stick with it and adjust to its wavelength. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 2.5/4 EDIT “The relentless pace generates enough of an endorphin rush to power the movie beyond plausibility nitpicking. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 2.5/4 EDIT “It doesn’t add up to much, and it evaporates from the mind as soon as it’s over, but that was true of the other two movies, which made over $700 million globally despite mostly lukewarm reviews. … that’s another kind of magic trick.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 3/4 EDIT “It wants to educate and inspire as well as entertain, and isn’t shy about those ambitions.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/4 EDIT “The takeaway, I think, is applicable to beings all across the universe: sometimes the things you want most are not worth wanting, and until you figure that out, you’ll never be free.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Hallow Road (2025) 89% 1.5/4 EDIT “At the same time, however, none of the stuff that has to be protected for the sake of the audience’s viewing pleasure is actually worth protecting.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% 3.5/4 EDIT “That ‘Anniversary' depicts oppressed and terrorized Americans doing riskier things under far bleaker circumstances saves it from doomerism, leaving viewers with shreds of hope.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 29, 2025 Full Review
