The Musical

|
David Gonzalez

The Musical is unlikely to land on any worst-of-the-year lists, but it never comes close to fulfilling the promise of its wacky premise.

Public Access
(2026)
|
David Gonzalez
|
There was reason to believe this could have been one of the festival’s standout documentaries. Instead, Public Access lands as a flawed and underwhelming effort, one that never fully captures the chaos, creativity, or spirit of the era.

Run Amok
(2026)
|
David Gonzalez
|
Ultimately, Run Amok is a film driven by ambition and sincerity, even as its execution falters. At its best, it offers moments of real emotional clarity, particularly in how it frames grief as something endured rather than overcome.

Wuthering Heights

Coming to "Wuthering Heights" without any particular attachment to the source material, Emerald Fennell still goes 3 for 3, delivering what may be her most luminously feral film yet.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
David Gonzalez
|
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is an absolute feast of horror cinema. DaCosta and Garland deliver the series’ quietest yet most thought-provoking entry to date, a film less concerned with spectacle than with moral reckoning.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)

David Gonzalez

To quote WWE's Bruce Prichard, "and then the bell rang." Fire and Ash may be 2025's most disappointing film, far closer to Piranha II: The Spawning than T2: Judgment Day.

Safdie delivers not just one of this generation's best sports dramas, but a deeply rich character study that, like Marty at the ping pong table, does not simply compete. It dominates.

Richard Linklater takes the concept of “the making of” and, in paying tribute to one of the most important films of all time, Breathless, creates a Linklater special: a quintessential hangout movie that never feels inaccessible.

Sentimental Value is a work of art that lingers, not because of what Trier shows us on screen, but because of the thoughts it stirs about our own families, our failings, and the quiet beauty of trying to heal.

With No Other Choice, Park Chan-wook reasserts himself as one of modern cinema’s true masters. It may not be his best work, but with a résumé like Chan-wook’s, even a mid-tier effort feels like a grand achievement.

Confronting today’s political climate with unflinching precision, PTA crafts a bold, action-packed, and hilariously sharp epic that hits his once-a-decade masterpiece quota. A quintessential GIRL DAD triumph and a defining moment for American Cinema.

James Gunn’s Superman makes you believe a man can fly… again. A soaring, heartfelt triumph that recaptures the classic DC spirit and reminds us why the Man of Steel still matters. This isn’t just a new Superman; it’s the fresh start DC has long needed.
