At the Sea (2026) 36% EDIT “Bringing the truth out isn’t always elegant in "At the Sea," but when presented with this much bravery and personality, it becomes undeniable.” – Moveable Fest Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Mouse (2026) 100% EDIT “O’Sullivan and Thompson may make it look easy themselves to create a world in which no one feels out of place, but "Mouse" sneaks up to pack a wallop because of everything going on below the surface.” – Moveable Fest Feb 16, 2026 Full Review One in a Million (2026) 100% EDIT “"One in a Million" is exceptionally relatable separated from any international context at all in presenting their three main subjects as deeply complicated people whose lives are made only more so by one another as they adjust to a new normal.” – Moveable Fest Feb 11, 2026 Full Review The Friend's House Is Here (2026) 100% EDIT “In a time when the arts are being attacked everywhere, it’s refreshing to be reminded of the danger they pose with as fierce as a defense of them as Ataei and Keshavarz’s lovely portrait of the home proves to be.” – Moveable Fest Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Jane Elliott Against the World (2026) EDIT “The mere example of someone willing to start the conversation in the first place seems to be what will open the door to even more in "Jane Elliott Against the World," where getting loud has a surprising amount of nuance in it.” – Moveable Fest Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Tooth Shop Fiasco (2026) EDIT “For those that enjoy random escapades, especially of the variety that might be mistaken for hallucinations by tuning into Adult Swim in the wee hours of the night, "Tooth Shop Fiasco" has enough laughing gas to keep it going.” – Moveable Fest Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% EDIT “When Greaves and crew were crouched into corners just trying to catch the action, the view can have the same voyeuristic appeal of peeking through a door, only "Once Upon a Time in Harlem" gives a fuller picture than has ever been seen before.” – Moveable Fest Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Wicker (2026) 95% EDIT “There are double entendres a plenty with a narrative built around wood, but "Wicker" operates with a level of sophistication that’s rare.” – Moveable Fest Feb 4, 2026 Full Review To Hold a Mountain (2026) 100% EDIT “"To Hold a Mountain" follows its lead when there are rarely any bold gestures, but the end result is mighty.” – Moveable Fest Feb 4, 2026 Full Review If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) 96% EDIT “An enthralling expansion of the 2022 short of the same name... elegantly conveying the rocky relationship between a 12-year-old and his father after the latter comes back home to Watts after a prison stretch.” – Moveable Fest Feb 2, 2026 Full Review See You When I See You (2026) 71% EDIT “A touching, heartfelt dramedy.” – Moveable Fest Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Take Me Home (2026) 95% EDIT “Throughout Liz Sargent's heartrending debut," the basic routines of everyday life can be appreciated for how daunting they might be when the body or mind fail you as well as the grace that the people around to lend their support to prevent catastrophe.” – Moveable Fest Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Night Nurse (2026) 76% EDIT “When there’s a great deal of tension generated from what can be known by the characters at their age, whether young or old, the one comfort the film provides throughout is knowing you’re in exceptionally skilled and assured hands yourself.” – Moveable Fest Jan 27, 2026 Full Review American Doctor (2026) 100% EDIT “"American Doctor" is told with the urgency that the humanitarian crisis requires and for all the destruction it depicts, it builds an undeniable portrait of a systematic elimination of an entire culture.” – Moveable Fest Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Shitheads (2026) 70% EDIT “Perhaps a little less audacious than its title might suggest but wonderfully amusing nonetheless, the "I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore" director once again asks how average people might behave if caught up in a world of crime.” – Moveable Fest Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Bedford Park (2026) 96% EDIT “Ahn’s debut may be about how hard it is to see promise in anything once again after a lifetime of heartbreaks, small and big, but it’s easy to see it all over her raw yet radiant drama.” – Moveable Fest Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% EDIT “An unexpected rumination on colonialism and immigration that may be more effective than most when it just hits differently.” – Moveable Fest Jan 25, 2026 Full Review The Lake (2026) 100% EDIT “It certainly is of great concern that the lake could erode, but the film powerfully reflects what truly should be feared is end of an open dialogue.” – Moveable Fest Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Oldest Person in the World (2026) 76% EDIT “The biggest compliment that could be paid is that it doesn’t waste a second of your time when it conveys just how precious it is.” – Moveable Fest Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Hot Water (2026) 88% EDIT “"Hot Water" feels like a product of hard-won wisdom, but couldn’t be a smoother or more pleasurable ride.” – Moveable Fest Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Filipiñana (2026) 86% EDIT “Manuel’s ability to leave an impression within the film extends to leaving one far beyond with a striking feature debut where individual frames can speak to centuries.” – Moveable Fest Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) 93% EDIT “In taking such an vivacious approach [to the grief process], it’s hard either for [the lead character] or an audience to linger on death too much when so much life is happening right in front of you.” – Moveable Fest Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Hanging by a Wire (2026) 88% EDIT “For all the obstacles overcome in remarkable ways in "Hanging by a Wire," getting people to care outside of Buttongay emerges as one of the most difficult of all, but the film itself has no such trouble.” – Moveable Fest Jan 23, 2026 Full Review American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (2026) 100% EDIT “The galvanizing power of art isn’t only illustrated in "American Pachuco," but intimately felt when the biography has plenty of panache to get its story of the groundbreaking Chicano artist across. ” – Moveable Fest Jan 22, 2026 Full Review A Place of Absence (2025) EDIT “An impressive way to create a presence for those who have gone missing, not only asserting their place on the record, but fleshing them out as more than statistics.” – Moveable Fest Nov 30, 2025 Full Review
