Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) David Rooney ...the movie’s artful direction, nimble structure, visual richness and impeccable performances make for something full-bodied, compelling and deeply affecting, its melancholy beauty lingering long after the end credits roll.

3.5/4
Chocolat (2000) Michael Rechtshaffen Concession counters should be prepared for the accompanying deluge; after subjecting audiences to two hours of mouthwatering temptation, they could probably sell the stuff by the vat.

Run Amok (2026) Jourdain Searles Run Amok is stuffed with ideas about school shootings, gun control and mental illness that don’t quite come together into any coherent thesis.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Jourdain Searles 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.

Rock Springs (2026) Jourdain Searles 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.

Only Rebels Win (2026) Leslie Felperin [Only Rebels Win] offers a workable blend of new and old, contemporary geopolitics and local socioeconomic tensions rubbing up against primordial, universal passions and follies.

No Good Men (2026) David Rooney Much of the comedy appears to have been lost along the wayside in a movie that’s inarguably well-intentioned, even admirable, but struggles to pin down exactly what it wants to be beyond that.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Frank Scheck This overly meta farce beats its mildly silly jokes so steadily into the ground that it’s not so much a case of diminishing returns as humor abuse.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Crime 101 (2026) Frank Scheck Crime 101 feels too contrived and artificial to be convincing. But there’s plenty to appreciate along the way, especially the extensive cinematic craftsmanship that’s gone into it.

Wuthering Heights (2026) David Rooney Fennell’s overhaul flirts with insanity, and if you can let go of preconceived notions about how this story should be told, it’s arguably the writer-director’s most purely entertaining film.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) David Rooney Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die doesn’t quite deliver on the sardonic promise of its catchy title, but its appealing cast and Verbinski’s flair for kinetic action set pieces make it a reasonably entertaining entry in the canon of gonzo sci-fi comedies.

Saccharine (2026) David Rooney James has no lack of talent, but fans of Relic who were hoping this might be a return to form after the mixed-bag Rosemary’s Baby prequel Apartment 7A will likely be disappointed.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
The Muppet Show (2026) Daniel Fienberg This is not The Muppet Show at its best, but it’s a return to what the Muppets do best.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Frank & Louis (2026) David Rooney It’s the leads who both anchor and elevate the film. Morgan is heartbreaking as a man broken and lost, possibly even more so when he’s lucid enough to be aware of what’s happening to him.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Shame and Money (2026) Sheri Linden Morina’s slow-burning third feature, after Babai and Exil, is attuned to every held breath and hopeful, wary or wounded glance of its two leads, Astrit Kabashi and Flonja Kodheli, who deliver performances of exquisite understatement.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Union County (2026) David Rooney This is an admirably serious-minded attempt to go inside a troubled community that most of us would go out of our way to avoid -- showing compassion for a struggle that can frequently be one step forward, two steps back.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Cold Storage (2026) David Rooney To its credit, this is a movie that knows better than to take itself too seriously. It’s painless enough though could have been more than that with a thorough script polish.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) Jordan Mintzer Shot in a pared-down but colorful style by Angello Faccini, Flamingo makes the most out of its limited budget and picturesque locations, which include an arid mountain range straight out of a spaghetti Western.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Jordan Mintzer Cheese and kitsch, with smatterings of blood and decapitated heads, are all on the menu in Dracula, which is a watchable if totally ludicrous version of the Stoker story.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuisance Bear  (2026) David Rooney Admittedly, I’m a sentimental softie for anything depicting mopey animals, but the sight of a weary polar bear lumbering across the tundra with a faded patch of green dye on its back seems like the saddest visual in the world.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) Angie Han Rather than give in to either misery porn or glossy sentimentality, however, If I Go Will They Miss Me finds intense emotionality in a disarming sense of tenderness.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Melania (2026) Frank Scheck To say that Melania is a hagiography would be an insult to hagiographies. This is a film that fawns so lavishly over its subject that you feel downright unpatriotic not gushing over it.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Troublemaker (2026) Daniel Fienberg Using interviews conducted for Mandela’s autobiography as its spine, Troublemaker is pure hagiography. Still, having Mandela’s voice guide you through even a sanitized version of his life feels important and, in places, unnervingly timely.

Antiheroine (2026) David Rooney If you’ve ever screamed along or jumped around in your underwear to “Violet” or “Olympia," you are sure to find this exploratory step back into the spotlight thrilling.

When a Witness Recants (2026) Sheri Linden Dawn Porter’s gripping documentary takes a measured, multipronged approach as it examines the nightmarish miscarriage of justice, the longed-for and extraordinary resolution, and the possibly unhealable wounds for almost everyone involved.

Give Me the Ball! (2026) David Rooney A nonfiction feature with the propulsive excitement of a great narrative, the film weaves a wealth of archival material around a captivating present-day sit-down interview with the octogenarian subject, who is candid, funny and unfailingly down-to-earth.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Leslie Felperin [A] touching, intimate chronicle.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
Shelter (2026) Frank Scheck Shelter reliably provides plenty of the action that Statham fans crave, not to mention his trademark charisma and low-key underplaying that makes Charles Bronson look overly demonstrative.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) Caryn James The style all but shouts that it’s a movie with talking heads that doesn’t want to be boring, and there’s a hyper feel to the pacing, as if the directors were afraid to slow down. But those strategies largely work.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) David Rooney Turturro is unshowy but magnificent in his best film role in years, an honorable hustler who still carries himself with dignity despite a lifetime of regrets and a world gradually leaving him behind.

The Brittney Griner Story (2026) Richard Lawson The film is a sturdy, informative recitation of facts -- though one does long for a bit more style, and perhaps for a wider purview.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
See You When I See You (2026) David Rooney No one enjoys beating up on a film in which the writer has invested so much of himself and his pain. But Cayton-Holland and Duplass have somehow made an authentic tragedy feel phony and unaffecting.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Cookie Queens (2026) Leslie Felperin Cookie Queens serves up an eminently accessible and easily meme-able serving of American-girl cuteness, featuring a diverse cast of well-chosen young women.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Richard Lawson There is so little texture to these character arcs that the actors are mostly just working in service of a blandly uplifting message. It’s as if they’ve all been commissioned by a well-funded science museum.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
The Weight (2026) David Rooney Although The Weight is low on excitement, it ends on an affecting note that makes you wish the sluggish movie had been given more lucid storytelling, as well as more dramatic and emotional power.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Chasing Summer (2026) Richard Lawson The movie’s weirdness is so, well, weird that it flies past interesting and lands in utterly baffling. It’s among the most discordant pairings of director and material that I’ve seen in some time.

Take Me Home (2026) Sheri Linden There isn’t a predictable or hackneyed exchange in the drama, which understands not just the immense challenges its characters face but also the throwaway humor that can be essential to a family’s connective tissue.

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Frank Scheck Movies like this depend almost entirely on chemistry between the co-stars, and fortunately Bautista and Momoa have plenty of it.

Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) David Rooney While it feels a fraction overlong, Gibney’s film is a vibrant testament to the intellectual life of its subject.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Send Help (2026) Frank Scheck Sam Raimi’s darkly comic horror-thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien boasts an audacious concept that is superbly realized by Raimi’s filmmaking, which milks every bizarre situation for all it’s worth.

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) Richard Lawson Both goofy and edgy, the film may not land every punchline, but it satisfies in visceral, pleasurable ways that a more sophisticated comedy could not.

The Musical (2026) Richard Lawson This is a show that needed much more tweaking before rehearsals even began.

The Gallerist (2026) Richard Lawson What reads as fun on paper -- Natalie Portman plays a desperate Miami gallery owner trying to pass off a dead body as conceptual art -- is rendered clumsy and inert on screen.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Soul Patrol (2026) Sheri Linden At first this conceit, entwining the otherworldly intensity of war with the everyday, feels self-conscious. But the poetic leaps gather emotional force as the film proceeds.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Wicker (2026) Richard Lawson A warming, sometimes poignant pleasure, a film full of lively personality and possessed of a rather humane outlook on our petty foibles. It is not exactly forgiving, though; the movie has a harder, more merciless edge than one might expect.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Friend's House Is Here (2026) Angie Han The film’s predominant mood is one not of despair but of defiance, placing its faith in the enduring powers of friendship and creativity.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
zi (2026) David Rooney It’s understandable that Kogonada might crave a radical creative reset... But the resulting project, Zi, sad to say, is too wispy to be compelling as a narrative or even enveloping as a vibe.

The Invite (2026) David Rooney After the disproportionate bashing Wilde took on Don’t Worry Darling, her new movie should silence the doubters. At this point it’s hard to deny she’s the real deal as a director.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
undertone (2025) Richard Lawson The film becomes so frustratingly derivative that all its other flaws, perhaps once forgivable, are cast into much harsher light.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
Bedford Park (2026) Angie Han Though its unflashy style and delicate emotionality are unlikely to sweep viewers off their feet, its eye for fine detail and bittersweet tone make it an absorbing experience worth seeking out.
