At the Sea (2026) 36% C EDIT “At the Sea does not seem to be the kind of material that will carry Amy Adams back to potential Oscar triumph, but it is undeniably a significant step up from some of her projects in recent years.” – AwardsWatch Feb 17, 2026 Full Review A Prayer for the Dying (2026) 4/10 EDIT “What remains is a hyper-stylized Western that looks extraordinary and feels hollow, a beautifully composed spectacle that burns brightly for a moment before fading almost immediately from memory.” – Next Best Picture Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Rose (2026) 100% A- EDIT “When Sandra Hüller wraps herself in the costume of masculinity, she does more than inhabit a role. She turns defiance into freedom.” – AwardsWatch Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Mouse (2026) 100% B+ EDIT “Lead actress Katherine Mallen Kupferer anchors this tension with remarkable restraint. Her performance is subtle but deeply affecting, portraying Minnie not as a passive victim, but as a young woman tentatively shaping her identity through loss.” – AwardsWatch Feb 14, 2026 Full Review No Good Men (2026) 5/10 EDIT “In striving to balance critique with hope, it ultimately compromises the force of both.” – Next Best Picture Feb 13, 2026 Full Review The Sun Rises on Us All (2025) 79% 5/10 EDIT “While the film contains moments of genuine emotional resonance, these are sporadic and can’t fully redeem a narrative that struggles under its own ambition.” – Next Best Picture Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Milk Teeth (2025) 4/10 EDIT “The film rarely sustains tension, drifting instead into long sequences of aimless observation that, while visually striking at times, struggle to convey narrative or emotional depth. ” – Next Best Picture Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Director’s Diary (2025) 7/10 EDIT “It is both captivating and fatiguing, demanding and rewarding, a work that resists conventional evaluation but nonetheless commands respect. ” – Next Best Picture Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Marc by Sofia (2025) B- EDIT “Fashion is dazzling, ephemeral, and endlessly self-referential, and Coppola’s film adopts the same qualities. It is an image of Jacobs that sparkles but refuses to resolve, a portrait defined more by surfaces than by depths.” – AwardsWatch Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Elisa (2025) B- EDIT “Elisa is a film that is more quietly affecting than overtly gripping. Its greatest strength lies in Barbara Ronchi’s performance, which brings depth, nuance, and credibility to a character whose past actions are both horrifying and enigmatic.” – AwardsWatch Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Father (2025) 7/10 EDIT “At its core, “Father” is a work of profound empathy, a meditation on human fragility, the weight of love, and the inescapable burden of guilt. ” – Next Best Picture Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Human Resource (2025) 7/10 EDIT “ “Human Resource” is not for every viewer. Its melancholy can feel overwhelming and its slow rhythms frustrating.” – Next Best Picture Sep 6, 2025 Full Review The Last Viking (2025) 94% 7/10 EDIT “To put it simply, this is the kind of film that makes you laugh until you wince, and then wince until you laugh again.” – Next Best Picture Sep 5, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 68% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a fairy tale like no other, boldly queer and unapologetically feminist, a cinematic feast of humor, emotion, and rebellion.” – Next Best Picture Sep 5, 2025 Full Review The Stranger (2025) 88% B EDIT “At the center is Benjamin Voisin’s Meursault, a performance that is quietly extraordinary. ” – AwardsWatch Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Duse (2025) 67% C- EDIT “[Duse isn't] the daring anti-biopic Marcello seems to have envisioned, but a muddled, uneven work, at times accidentally comic, at times suffocating, at times fleetingly profound.” – AwardsWatch Sep 3, 2025 Full Review The Wonderers (2025) 6/10 EDIT “Director Japy’s restraint is her strength. She does not attempt to make a grand statement about disability, suffering, or resilience. She simply shows what it means to live alongside uncertainty and to live within limits.” – Next Best Picture Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Connemara (2025) 5/10 EDIT “It is worth watching for lovers of quiet, contemplative films with strong actors, but those expecting a tightly structured story may be disappointed.” – Next Best Picture Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Mother (2025) 64% 5/10 EDIT “As a piece of cinema then, “Mother” leaves a divided impression. It is too reverent to be truly revelatory, and too solemn to achieve genuine subversion.” – Next Best Picture Aug 27, 2025 Full Review
