GOAT (2026) Carlos Aguilar A mixed bag of eye-catching imagery and formulaic writing, “Goat” disappoints because it follows every expected path toward a triumphant conclusion.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Amy Nicholson So intricate and angry — and so shamelessly ambitious — you can’t believe someone in today’s Hollywood was willing to put up the money to get it made.

Bride of Re-Animator (1990) Kevin Thomas The sequel is every bit as amusing as the original, though probably grislier.

Muppet Treasure Island (1996) Kevin Thomas Muppet Treasure Island is a wonderful picture for children, a work of considerable artistry and craftsmanship that ought to please many adults as well, provided they're prepared to along with a highly familiar, very simple story.

Wuthering Heights (2026) Amy Nicholson I tried, and failed, to merge Robbie’s miscasting into the film’s delirious artificiality alongside the apple-sized strawberries, the gowns of opalescent and latexy fabrics

Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) Philip K. Scheuer The production rates as a novelty and should exert a spell above that of the routine program effort. With it, Boris Ingster accomplishes a promising directorial debut.

Scarlet (2025) Carlos Aguilar Despite any narrative quibbles, the movie deserves praise for its genuine call for compassion.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Natchez (2025) Robert Abele Natchez is full of quietly charged moments in dreamily scenic surroundings, one result of Noah Collier’s lush cinematography, deployed like a deliberately performative nostalgia that lets us know there’s always more to see if we look closely enough.

The Love That Remains (2025) Robert Abele This is a delicate, confidently imagined fiction made with the eyes of a naturalist, the heart of a believer in family, and a sensibility with room for both the Pythonesque and the Lynchian.

Pillion (2025) Amy Nicholson Perhaps you’d like to be taken to dinner first, but "Pillion" is about Colin’s needs — specifically his need to please — and first-time feature filmmaker Harry Lighton challenges us to root for his bliss.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
The Muppet Show (2026) Robert Lloyd Pop singer comedienne Sabrina Carpenter is the guest star, a most appropriate choice.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Blonde Venus (1932) Philip K. Scheuer Considered more immediately, "The Blonde Venus" is well acted by [Marlene Dietrich] and her two leading men, Herbert Marshall and Cary Grant...
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Vanishing Point (1971) Charles Champlin "Vanishing Point" is a fine celebration of cinematic techniques, an assemblage of startling effects and sleek and vivid surfaces.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
A Useful Ghost (2025) Amy Nicholson This snaky, surprising fable starts with a sneeze and explodes into a saga about bureaucracy, modernization and moral corruption. It’s electrifying.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Camille (1936) Edwin Schallert This picture is veritably a classic of the screen.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Days of Heaven (1978) Charles Champlin An extraordinary and original visual experience of a movie which is thrilling in its uncompromised purity.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Ace in the Hole (1951) Edwin Schallert Controversial and challenged as this Paramount production will prove to be, it has a singular power and fascination. The writing by Wilder, Lesser Samuels and Walter Newman seems extraordinarily potent.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Melania (2026) Amy Nicholson "Melania" plays like a sizzle reel for her post-political (post-spousal?) future career in which she may rouse herself to be a guest judge on a reality competition show.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Amy Nicholson The Charli XCX mockumentary "The Moment" is a satire that feels like a snuff film.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
House (1985) Kevin Thomas "House" is an unexpectedly ambitious, refreshingly unpredictable horror comedy with some serious undertones.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
A Poet (2025) Robert Abele That you’re never entirely sure if Oscar is going to be the adult or the child in any given scene creates a wonderfully funny tension. It’s one of the best performances of this past year and if Rios never acted again, it’d be a one-off for the ages...
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
My Bloody Valentine (1981) Linda Gross "My Bloody Valentine" relies heavily on gruesome cerebral associations, shabby special effects and too many characters without sufficient characterizations.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
All That's Left of You (2025) Sergio Burstein Interesting thing about the third film by Palestinian-American Cherien Dabis is not its militant aspect or the division it may make between 'bad' and 'good', but the profoundly humanistic turn that occurs near the end. [Full review in Spanish]
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
Magellan (2025) Sergio Burstein Both true film buffs and admirers of García Bernal should know that this is an absolutely outstanding work, brilliantly filmed and eminently contemplative. [Full review in Spanish]
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
Primate (2025) Sergio Burstein Clearly demonstrates that, under the right conditions, [Roberts] is fully capable of delivering an unquestionably solid entertainment product whose lack of pretension, even in terms of staging, is to some extent refreshing. [Full review in Spanish]

Misery (1990) Peter Rainer What keeps the film from being a morbid, claustrophobic bummer is Annie's rapid-fire waverings between peachy-keen normality and terror.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
A Private Life (2025) Robert Abele It also leaves one realizing that “A Private Life,” despite the commanding leading lady holding its center, is a bit mixed up by design.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Young Mothers (2025) Tim Grierson Despite their clear affection for these women, the Dardenne brothers never sugarcoat their characters’ unenviable circumstance or latch onto phony bromides to alleviate our anxiety. And yet “Young Mothers” contains its share of sweetness and light.

OBEX (2025) Robert Lloyd “Obex” also reminds us that the power to be positively emboldened by tech — rather than imprisoned by it — always will be in humans’ hands, so long as we remember that we always can unplug.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) Edwin Schallert It's more than simply a thriller. It has a sociological and philosophic side, besides being vastly interesting and exciting.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Bite the Bullet (1975) Charles Champlin "Bite the Bullet" becomes a handsomely crafted original and restorative experience, a rousing ride.
Posted Jan 15, 2026  Edit critic review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Amy Nicholson Gruesomely both low and highbrow, it’s the movie equivalent of Jell-O wrestling an anthropology professor at Burning Man, which may have been the inspiration of one of its standout characters, Ralph Fiennes’ spry and mesmerizing Dr. Ian Kelson
Posted Jan 15, 2026  Edit critic review
The Magnificent Seven (1960) Charles Stinson ...Roberts and Sturges have made this film genuinely magnificent - a western to rank along with "Shane," "High Noon," "Stage Coach" and the very finest of the genre ever made.
Posted Jan 15, 2026  Edit critic review
The Magnificent Seven (1960) Philip K. Scheuer ...[The film is] likely to frighten, thrill and perplex most moviegoers, not necessarily in that order.

Gaslight (1944) Jon Matsumoto What keeps Gaslight burning is its tantalizing aura of mystery.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Stand by Me (1986) Thomas Sabulis It's a familiar story, but rarely has it been done in the direct, uncluttered manner director Rob Reiner does it -- with dignity, unpretentiousness, and old-fashioned respect for a good yarn.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Gaslight (1944) LA Times Staff Gaslight offers Boyer in an entirely different role and gives Miss Bergman her most emotional and varied characterization yet.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
All That's Left of You (2025) Tim Grierson All That’s Left of You readies the audience for tears by the final reel, but Dabis’ narrative twist pushes the film into a movie-ish unreality that conveniently ties a bow on the script’s pondering of the value of choosing love over hate.
Posted Jan 10, 2026  Edit critic review
The Chronology of Water (2025) Robert Abele What obviously matters to Stewart is the totality of experience and “The Chronology of Water,” arty and naturalistic in equal measure, is no toe-dip into directing — it’s deep-end stuff from start to finish.

Primate (2025) Amy Nicholson One chimpanzee with a typewriter could pound out the script for "Primate" in an hour.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Alice in Wonderland (1951) Philip K. Scheuer Carroll's humor turns out once again to be more audible than visual and better printed than either. The most Disney can do is to illustrate it like a 20th-century Tenniel and this he had done effectively and with the license permissible to an illustrator.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Amy Nicholson Skarsgård plays the role somewhere between a soapbox preacher and a "Scooby-Doo" episode that imagines Shaggy unmasking a money-grubbing bad guy and threatening to beat him to death.

The Sure Thing (1985) Kevin Thomas Lots of films have sweetness and humor, but The Sure Thing also has smarts.
Posted Jan 07, 2026  Edit critic review
No Other Choice (2025) Tim Grierson For all its dark comedy, the movie is most cutting when it moves away from the big set pieces and, instead, examines the small ways that employees lose their humanity to a capitalist system that’s out to destroy them.
Posted Jan 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Little Trouble Girls (2025) Sergio Burstein It is a film that expertly tackles the inherent risks of its plot to deliver a film as full of irreverence and sensuality as it is of artistic sensitivity. [Full review in Spanish]

Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Sergio Burstein The work maintains coherence, offers novel twists and, of course, is full of great gory moments. [Full review in Spanish]

Dust Bunny (2025) Sergio Burstein A particularly pleasant surprise given how unexpected it is. [Full review in Spanish]

Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) Edwin Schallert "Confessions of a Nazi Spy" is stunningly acted.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) Mark Chalon Smith On purely critical terms, the Anatole Litvak-directed movie is a potboiler, a melodrama thick with message. Still, it’s straight-ahead storytelling and a coiled, hard-eyed performance by Robinson hold viewers’ interest.

Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Tim Grierson In “Father Mother Sister Brother,” family can be hell, but the only thing worse is when they’re no longer with us.
