Nightborn (2026) Catherine Bray Grint is a fine choice for the role of Jon, as his screen persona works well with the character's schlubby, well-meaning passivity.

Rosebush Pruning (2026) Guy Lodge Does “Rosebush Pruning” lose some perspective in all this dazzle? Perhaps. But if you’re going to eat the rich, the film reasons, they may as well be delicious.

Dao (2026) Guy Lodge Though its supersized scale and meandering narrative structure may deter less adventurous arthouse distributors, [Alain] Gomis’s latest work nonetheless feels like his most vibrantly expansive and accessible.

Mouse (2026) Peter Debruge A mix of actors of wildly different experience levels, the ensemble meshes together beautifully, reflecting the idea that none of these characters knows quite how to navigate the situation.

A Prayer for the Dying (2026) Guy Lodge It’s an imposing, ascetic debut, braced by performances of formidable grit and commitment from Johnny Flynn and John C. Reilly.

Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Guy Lodge What could feel contrived emerges as elegant and honestly felt, a study not just of the tumult that often produces great art, but the silence too.

In A Whisper (2026) Murtada Elfadl These are believable people, giving the actors complicated feelings to play with. Only when Bouzid deals with the repercussions of homophobic Tunisian laws does the melodrama tip into ham-handedness.
Posted Feb 14, 2026  Edit critic review
No Good Men (2026) Guy Lodge No Good Men feels all the more textured and vitally of its moment for its flaws and lapses. It has the unfakeable air of a film made in genuinely urgent circumstances, which makes its emotional surges feel hard-earned.

Crime 101 (2026) Owen Gleiberman Taken as a thriller, “Crime 101” has its indulgences, but by the end it can stand as an advanced course in what underworld dreams are made of.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Owen Gleiberman Here we are again, caught up in the never-ending slow-drip flood of cinematic Dracula mythology, now with Luc Besson’s wan, derivative, dutifully time-period-hopping, different-but-not-really-new take on the vampire legend.

3/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Peter Debruge Literary purists may object, but Fennell seizes on something passionate in the material that was always there but never made explicit, amplifying what has gone largely unrequited all these years.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
GOAT (2026) Owen Gleiberman A vibrant surprise. It’s a highly original and rousing animated feature -- a sports fable with a hip-hop vibe and an off-kilter cosmology.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Dennis Harvey It stretches material that wouldn’t overfill 90 minutes to 4.5 hours, arriving at no worthwhile destination and conveying scant excitement en route. It aims low… and still bunts.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Solo Mio (2026) Lisa Kennedy Some like their rom-coms aching or itching with desire. Others are content to celebrate the affectionate spark. This PG valentine from Angel Studios is very much the latter. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
The Incomer (2026) Tomris Laffly Louis Paxton’s seaside tale starring Domhnall Gleeson alongside the terrific duo Gayle Rankin and Grant O’Rourke is too twee at times, but still winsome and disarmingly good-natured.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Fing! (2026) Tomris Laffly An adventurous spirit, along with generous Spielbergian touches elevate this fable where Taika Waititi plays an oddball villain.

See You When I See You (2026) Peter Debruge On his own journey toward a solo directing career, Duplass has made a movie with audiences in mind -- a story that many will find relatable, whether you’ve lost someone or just felt lost yourself.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Barbara Forever (2026) Murtada Elfadl To heighten the challenge, Hammer has already documented much of that herself in many experimental films about living as a queer woman. O’Connor proves herself up to the task by eschewing the traditional cradle-to-grave narrative.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
The Tale of Silyan (2025) Alissa Simon A lyrical and gorgeously lensed documentary hybrid that explores the interconnection between humans, animals and nature.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
All About the Money (2026) Guy Lodge Who is Chambers really, behind all this provocation and prevarication? “All About the Money” never quite finds out, but it excavates enough to hint that he might not know either.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Iron Lung (2026) Dennis Harvey There’s not a lot of plot here, certainly not enough to sustain a full two hours. And those previously unacquainted with the game are likely to make little sense of the few things that do happen.

Bedford Park (2026) Carlos Aguilar Through all these, thankfully, Ahn directs Sukku and Choi into measured performances that not only ring emotionally truthful but complementary.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuisance Bear  (2026) Peter Debruge For all its richness, “Nuisance Bear” doesn’t necessarily enunciate its themes. Instead, the directors trust audiences to extrapolate from Gibbons’ ruminative voice-over.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
To Hold a Mountain (2026) Murtada Elfadl It’s the kind of film that entrances its audience without them noticing. Only at the end does the audience fully grasp the magnitude of the story it chronicles and the natural beauty of the images they have been witnessing all along.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Brittney Griner Story (2026) Lisa Kennedy Converging in Griner’s story are issues around gender, pay disparity in professional sports and evidence of progress of but also hostility to the rights of LGBTQ citizens.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
How to Divorce During the War (2026) Guy Lodge A drily witty, subtly searing comedy from writer-director Andrius Blaževičius, “How to Divorce During the War” is both empathetic and surgical as it examines both partners’ attempts to sublimate selfish angst into social activism.

Hold Onto Me (2026) Carlos Aguilar As their bond strengthens under strenuous circumstances, the actors’ performances evolve with the characters.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Shame and Money (2026) Guy Lodge Though his latest is a slow burn offering little in the way of hope or levity, Morina doesn’t trade in one-note miserablism either: Intricately observed domestic dynamics keep the drama textured and humane.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Take Me Home (2026) Lisa Kennedy A deeply felt examination of the challenges so many face when familial love is swamped by economic reality.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) Peter Debruge The project seems to transcend the projects, defying gravity in its poetic depiction of how this resilient, supportive community comes together around Lil Ant, stepping in where his father stumbles to embrace the boy.

Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Siddhant Adlakha Rousing, essayistic.

Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story (2026) Lisa Kennedy While the film leans on other comics to celebrate Bamford’s unique delivery, deft timing and exquisite plying of vulnerability, it’s the time with her family -- her parents and her sister -- that grounds the documentary.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Melania (2026) Owen Gleiberman A documentary that never comes to life. It’s a “portrait” of the First Lady of the United States, but it’s so orchestrated and airbrushed and stage-managed that it barely rises to the level of a shameless infomercial.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Lisa Kennedy For some of us, this film might evoke the wonder of a great-grandchild listening in on grown-up reminiscences. Nodding at the substance. Smiling at the style.

Shelter (2026) Dennis Harvey Shelter has energy, good pacing, and solid production values…even if neither style or content achieve the distinguishing personality that might make you remember this generically-titled entertainment a week later.

Saccharine (2026) Guy Lodge Real-life horror of one’s own body is the most insidious kind of body horror at play here, though James’ film offers a measure of the gorily fantastical stuff too.

The Balloonists (2025) Tomris Laffly John Dower’s adventure-filled crowd-pleaser is both a vintage buddy movie and a celebration of human determination.

Merv (2025) Tomris Laffly Even an Adorable Terrier Performer Can’t Enliven Prime Video’s Wooden Rom-Com.

The Lake (2026) Tomris Laffly "The Lake" is so much more than a regionally isolated issue documentary. Its lessons should apply to every single environmental fight around the world.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
Extra Geography (2026) Tomris Laffly Uncompromisingly sharp-tongued and led by sensational newcomers Marni Duggan and Galaxie Clear, "Extra Geography" finds much humor and tenderness in feminine angst and youthful cluelessness.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
The Friend's House Is Here (2026) Tomris Laffly Shot entirely in secret like recent Jafar Panahi films, and paying homage to Abbas Kiarostami in the title, Hossein Keshavarz and Maryam Ataei's film is both freshly contemporary and rooted in history.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Tomris Laffly ‘Pickpocket’ feels like a new, minor-key New York classic.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
Hot Water (2026) Murtada Elfadl Hot Water is carried through by Alfonso Herrera Salcedo’s command of the light and atmosphere. His camera shows not just the enormity and beauty of the American terrain, but the confused feelings Layla and Daniel are trying to hide.

Give Me the Ball! (2026) Owen Gleiberman Garbus and Wolff take us through her life in a way that’s both propulsive and reflective, mirroring King’s energy on the court. The drama never lets up.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Run Amok (2026) Owen Gleiberman Alyssa Marvin, who has the rare actor’s gift of wearing her feelings on the outside even when the character she’s playing is holding them on the inside, makes that a convincing journey.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
The Weight (2026) Peter Debruge In the past, Hawke often played characters who were shy, scruffy and slightly unsure of themselves, but here he’s the film’s proactive problem solver -- a classical hero more than capable of carrying the film.

Leviticus (2026) Carlos Aguilar With “Leviticus,” Chiarella wields horror in defense of queer love, avoiding easy sentimentalism, while also not surrendering to hopelessness, all while still satisfying the audience’s cravings for effective, bone-chilling uneasiness.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Soul Patrol (2026) Lisa Kennedy The credits begin their roll with Jimmy Ruffin’s aching ballad “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted?” playing. Like Emanuel and his comrades, Harper and his film go a meaningful way in asking and offering an answer to that plaint.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Chasing Summer (2026) Peter Debruge A familiar “you can’t go home again” story (till now, Reese Witherspoon had a corner on the market) that miraculously doesn’t feel like we’ve heard it before, even if the moral is perfectly clear from the get-go.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
American Doctor (2026) Murtada Elfadl It is a necessary watch because it dares its audience not to look away, forcing the question not only of whose story is told, but whose deaths matter and make headlines.
