Wuthering Heights (2026) Christian Craig Fennell... has made it no secret that she didn’t embark on a faithful adaptation, but the restraint she shows around Catherine and Heathcliff’s affair betrays an unsure footing.

Under Current (2025) Sean Gilman Under Current features an all-star cast of aging celebrities going through the convoluted motions of a screenplay built around needless complications and flash.

ChaO (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann [ChaO] is a thrilling movie, burgeoning with vivid passion and uninhibited abandon, and a wondrous celebration of animation.

Fuori (2025) Michael Sicinski Has all the contours of a high-toned European biopic, but it unfortunately insists on keeping the viewer on the outside.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Scarlet (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann Hosoda’s reworking of Hamlet is too busy in its whirlwind mishmash... and thus it never develops its own ideas with much substance or conviction.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Jefferson Everest Crawford Besson understands precisely how the narrative of a melodramatic romp should progress, its beats accelerated so that the climax is upon us almost from the beginning.

Fish, Fists and Ambergris (2025) Sean Gilman An action-comedy in the Hong Kong style, with a distinctly handmade flavor.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Christian Craig The Moment is a fine vehicle for a pop star and a welcome alternative to a perfunctory concert film, but nothing in Charli’s ascendency has come so close to feeling merely competent.

Crime 101 (2026) Andrew Dignan Layton is an able mimic, and in Crime 101 he steals from the best... but in truth the entire film could be couched as Michael Mann cosplay.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Jake Tropila Return to Silent Hill is left only to exist as a case study in diminishing returns and exsanguinated genre, sure to disappoint fans and newcomers to the series alike.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Pillion (2025) Robert Stinner It’s to the director’s credit that, in uncovering an optimistic take on thorny narrative material, he manages to do so with both sexual frankness and genuine warmth.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Holding Liat (2025) Zachary Goldkind Kramer flimsily offers us a thought experiment, one where the suffering of Palestinians remains on the margins.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Joan of Arc (2025) Chris Cassingham With each successive film, the lines between reality and fiction have only blurred [in Pálmason's films], revealing a career-spanning inquiry into the generative possibilities of intermingling the real with the fictional.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Shelter (2026) Daniel Gorman [Shelter's] familiarity is part of the film’s low-key charm... sometimes a three-star movie just hits the spot as well as anything can.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Revolver Lily (2023) Fred Barrett There is no spark of inspiration to Yukisada’s images... Instead, all we get is cut-rate melodrama.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Worldbreaker (2025) Joshua Polanski Devoid of curiosity.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
A Poet (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann If A Poet offers, overall, a somewhat familiar perspective on the tortured artist trope, the honesty and accuracy of the details in Mesa Soto’s script enliven it. Surprise may be largely absent, but nuance is not.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Patrick Fey If there is one lesson to be extracted from Greaves’ extraordinary document, it’s that history is malleable, is vibrant, is now.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Rip (2026) Matt Lynch Ludicrous and more than a little confusing, but... there’s mercifully little to complain about here. Your dad will love this, and you’ll have an okay time, too.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Islands (2025) Robert Stinner Islands is less likely to leave a viewer on the edge of their seat than it is to make them feel that they’ve dozed off on a picturesque beach.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Send Help (2026) Andrew Dignan After wandering the wilderness himself for a number of years, it’s a profound comfort to have Raimi back doing what he does best.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Love That Remains (2025) Chris Cassingham In The Love That Remains, Pálmason weaves together a series of scenes that illustrate the passage of time, but splinter off and jump around according to a unique internal rhythm. But if these vignettes form a tapestry, then its threads are frayed.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
H Is for Hawk (2025) Daniel Gorman One wishes the film was willing to go further with [its] philosophical inquiry, embracing the metaphysical alongside the dully literal.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Mercy (2026) Matt Lynch Mercy is complete junk, there’s no way around it, but if you tune into the very specific wavelength and have a tolerance for wholesale idiocy, there’s at least a genuine experience to be had.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Ethan J. Rosenberg The Bone Temple starts 2026 off keeling over to the headwinds of mediocrity and appealing to the goodwill of an audience it evidently hates through snarky humor and winking condescension at the material.
Posted Jan 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Primate (2025) Christian Craig You bought the ticket to see a monkey go nuts, and Roberts’ only goal seems to be delivering on that promise... [and] maybe that’s okay. Every generation needs its Cujo.
Posted Jan 19, 2026  Edit critic review
We Bury the Dead (2024) Daniel Gorman We Bury the Dead is an extremely quiet, self-contained film, "small" in interesting ways, especially for this subgenre.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Joshua Polanski These two are one Christmas setting away from stumbling onto a full Hallmark set.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Dust Bunny (2025) Jake Tropila Warts plague Dust Bunny and prevent a full-throated recommendation, [but] Fuller nonetheless concocts enough playfulness and aesthetic pomp along the way to leave such narrative shortcomings feeling mostly immaterial.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Cover-Up (2025) Clara Cuccaro Cover-Up succeeds as a portrait of a journalist shaped by a recently bygone era... [and] reminds viewers of what investigative journalism once demanded, and why those demands still matter.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Atropia (2025) Christian Craig Satire [eventually] stumbles into something closer to a dizzy romcom... and [the] will-they-won’t-they ultimately muddles Atropia’s already brittle perspectives.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Song Sung Blue (2025) Matt Lynch While Song Sung Blue might still hit a lot of the expected melodramatic notes, the distinct weirdness of the true story and Brewer’s genuine empathy for these human beings make this project a richer than anticipated experience.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Plague (2025) Morris Yang The symptoms of its titular malaise eventually cast an ambivalent shadow over the film, rendering its creeping metaphors somewhat ineffectual. But with or without bodily outrage, The Plague’s mental scarring is raw and palpable.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
All That's Left of You (2025) Robert Stinner Dabis does sometimes struggle to craft fully rounded characters within [the film's] vast scope... but [the director] impressively manages to accrue character detail and thematic nuance by tracing her film’s central family, patiently but with purpose.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Lupin the IIIrd: The Movie - The Immortal Bloodline (2025) Jake Tropila Newcomers will likely need to brush up on recent lore before heading in, but for those attuned to the previous trials and tribulations of the lovable master thief, a most enjoyable time will be in store.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Ethan J. Rosenberg Jarmusch... [refuses] o do anything but point down at the underground from high atop his throne in the balcony... He’s right that counterculture is thriving, but he just doesn’t realize he’s on the other side of it.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Man Finds Tape (2025) Jake Tropila [Man Finds Tape] can’t quite pull off any new tricks, ultimately doing less with less as [the filmmakers] fail to make any meaningful impression with their work.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (2025) Jake Tropila Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is not out to bring in new fans of the franchise, but for those already on board, the compilation film is an extremely promising look at the pleasures to come.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Rosemead (2025) Morris Yang Rosemead stares rage and calamity in the face without quite backing down, turning an easy opportunity for sensationalism into a meditation on the very human cost of agony.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Great Flood (2025) Joshua Polanski A half-baked science fiction thriller
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Marty Supreme (2025) Dylan Adamson Marty Mauser too frequently appears dwarfed by the elephantine budget surrounding him... Nevertheless, Marty Supreme frequently fires on all cylinders.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Andrew Dignan Like the religion it depicts... [The Testament of Ann Lee] is perhaps destined to inspire a small but devout following of those able to reconcile its incongruities and imperfections.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Jake Tropila Given that this is the seventh installment in this franchise, Nelson offers a surprisingly and agreeably fresh take on the material.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Matt Lynch With all its overstuffed-ness, occasional loose ends, and its massive scale, [Cameron has] given his franchise its Return of the Jedi, for better and (very, very occasionally) worse.
Posted Dec 20, 2025  Edit critic review
The Housemaid (2025) Andrew Dignan The Housemaid is never dull, but then neither is a flaming car on the side of the road. And there’s a similar morbid, gawking quality to observing this collection of artists valiantly trying to resuscitate the erotic thriller.
Posted Dec 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Ella McCay (2025) Chris Cassingham That Ella McCay not only exists in 2025, but succeeds in spite of its unfashionable elements, is its own kind of miracle.
Posted Dec 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Andrew Reichel While Dead Man’s Wire is hardly as minimal as Van Sant’s Tarr-influenced Death Trilogy titles from the 2000s, it’s a movie that keeps its scale appropriately mano a mano.
Posted Dec 12, 2025  Edit critic review
The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) Robert Stinner Structural vagueness is a minor quibble... in a film marked by both sensitivity and boldness. Céspedes, with a distinctive point of view, holds the community of queer outsiders that populate his film with a loving yet unflinching gaze.
Posted Dec 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Europe's New Faces (2025) Dhruv Goyal [The film's style] comes across as respectful rather than a purely academic exercise... There’s a humility and humanity in that gesture that makes Europe’s New Faces an incredibly valuable film.
Posted Dec 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Chronology of Water (2025) Christian Craig It’s difficult to hold aesthetic grievances too dearly in the shadow of Imogen Poots’ Lidia. The... actor [is] at a career best, giving a muscled and searing performance.
