Midwinter Break (2026) 43% 4/5 EDIT “World-class acting by Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds undergirds this restrained look at a marriage teetering toward its finish.” – The Film Yap Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Jane Austen's Period Drama (2024) 4.5/5 EDIT “A one-joke movie, but dang if it's not a great joke well executed. A cheeky, smart, hilarious take on British period dramas in which menstruation is the double entendre subject. ” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) 2.5/5 EDIT “Quite possibly the Most French movie ever. Pretentious codswallop. ” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Butcher's Stain (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “A stunning look at the costs of war beyond the battlefield, urgently set against the backdrop of the strife in Gaza.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review A Friend of Dorothy (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A sweet parable about seeing and being seen, as an old woman befriends a young man who dreams of more than his humble roots.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review The Singers (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A simple, lovely little slice of humanity. A bunch of dead-end guys in a bar start a singing contest, and find a bit of hope.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Retirement Plan (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Domhnall Gleason narrates this humorous meditation on aging and self improvement.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Butterfly (2024) 4.5/5 EDIT “A lovely, understated piece loosely based on the life of French swimmer Alfred Nakache.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review The Girl Who Cried Pearls (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “An achingly beautiful, sad story told largely through puppetry.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Forevergreen (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Absolutely gorgeous animation style, using CGI but resembling a chunky sort of stop-motion. A gentle, spiritual lesson.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review The Three Sisters (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “A very spare, hand-drawn animation style, humorous and observant.” – The Film Yap Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Children No More: Were and Are Gone (2025) EDIT “A humanistic look at a troubling crisis that eschews moral certitude. ” – The Film Yap Feb 17, 2026 Full Review All the Empty Rooms (2025) 3/5 EDIT “On the surface it’s a powerful subject: journalists who talk to the parents of children killed in school shootings and record photographs of their bedrooms. I’m an old-school believer in "don’t report on the reporting," and there’s too much of that here.” – The Film Yap Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A moving portrait of photojournalist and documentarian Brent Renaud, killed while covering the early days of the war in Ukraine in 2022.” – The Film Yap Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The Devil Is Busy (2024) 4/5 EDIT “A powerful but decidedly partisan look at the abortion issue from the inside of a women’s health clinic in Georgia. Illuminates in a way I think those who made it aren’t even aware of.” – The Film Yap Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Perfectly a Strangeness (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Three donkeys wander around an astronomical observatory. That’s it. That’s the movie. Feels more like mere footage than a fully realized movie — closer to an experimental film than documentary.” – The Film Yap Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The Alabama Solution (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “An Oscar-nominated, old-school investigative documentary about appalling conditions in state prisons that uses cell phone footage collected over a decade.” – The Film Yap Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Both over-the-wall bonkers and also deeply human and affecting, with Sam Rockwell as a time-traveling savior of the world who seems very dyspeptic about the whole thing.” – The Film Yap Feb 15, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 82% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's a strictly-for-the-kiddies game in this all-animal basketball animated effort that reminds us you can't win by just coasting.” – The Film Yap Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “A dying spoken word poet comes to grips with their fate while choosing an immortal exit in this moving Oscar-nominated documentary.” – The Film Yap Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Schlocky B-movie thrills with A-list talent in this goofy romp about the race to stop a space fungus that turns people into exploding zombies.” – The Film Yap Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Arco (2025) 93% 3.5 EDIT “Plays like minor-key Hayao Miyazaki, probably more enjoyable for adults than kids, as a girl from the future tries to help a boy from even further in the future.” – The Film Yap Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 55% 4/5 EDIT “Coleman and John Lithgow as a daughter and father navigating their scratchy past and vanishing future.” – The Film Yap Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “A love letter to Italy and romance, as Kevin James reaches beyond his comedy roots as a shlub dumped at the altar who decides to go ahead with his honeymoon alone.” – The Film Yap Feb 4, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 2.5/5 EDIT “Jodie Foster can't save this odd duck of a movie about a psychiatrist trying to solve the murder of a patient, which is too esoteric and just plain dull.” – The Film Yap Jan 31, 2026 Full Review
