Ballistic (2025) 60% 6/10 EDIT “That’s where Ballistic succeeds most: guaranteeing we know Nance’s actions are a projection. They’re the product of self-loathing and a belief that she’s no longer worthy of friendship, love, or empathy.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Everyone Is Lying to You for Money (2025) 8/10 EDIT “[McKenzie is] an entertainer who couldn’t ignore an obviously predatory scheme enriching the rich with the life savings of the poor. So, he entertains us with the rabbit hole he fell through to prove it.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 100% 10/10 EDIT “Blue Heron isn’t an easy watch by any sense of the word, but it’s an important one to reduce the stigma associated with the torment of people like Jeremy and the anguish of those who love them.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Eagles of the Republic (2025) 73% 7/10 EDIT “I was riveted throughout because I was desperate to find out what was actually going on. Saleh isn’t interested in delving into the big picture. He’s concerned with the characters and their impulses, flaws, and humanity.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 17, 2026 Full Review City Wide Fever (2025) 90% 6/10 EDIT “Everything and nothing make logical sense. There’s a nice commentary on fandom in this notion because it reveals just how blind we become to evidence that refutes subjects we hold onto so religiously.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Amrum (2025) 96% EDIT “It’s a perfect example of the insidiousness of fascism: we watch how the sins of a parent damn their own child alongside the struggle of that child reconciling his love for that parent against everyone else’s hate for her.” – The Film Stage Apr 15, 2026 Full Review ChaO (2025) 83% 7/10 EDIT “The hand-drawn animation style is wonderfully unique with myriad different character designs [that lead] to many humorous moments and physical comedy as each interacts with their environment.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The Yeti (2026) 42% 6/10 EDIT “Yes, there’s an ample amount of blood and gore to satisfy the horror lovers taking a chance on a low-budget, soundstage-shot indie such as this, but the feel of the whole is conversely driven by emotion.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 7/10 EDIT “Goldhaber and Mazzei understand the absurdity of their premise just as much as they acknowledge the danger inherent to it. Because being one step removed from the act doesn’t protect you from acquiring that same taste for blood.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Pizza Movie (2026) 78% 6/10 EDIT “Pizza Movie will get weirder, funnier, and more inventive as it goes. The result is probably the best "this shouldn’t be as good as it is" film since Will Gluck’s Fired Up!” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 3, 2026 Full Review We're All Gonna Die (2024) 7/10 EDIT “Despite the script often going super silly or generically clichéd, trust that it will also mine deep into the authentic trauma at their respective centers. It’s as much a road trip to recover their loved ones’ surrogates as it is to finally let go.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Alpha (2025) 58% 8/10 EDIT “It’s weird to say considering Julia Ducournau’s previous films, but her latest is a lot—[just not] in the same sense. With loud music, gorgeous marble-skinned special effects, and extreme anguish, Alpha isn’t for the faint of heart.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Kontinental '25 (2025) 93% 6/10 EDIT “His point is always clearly elucidated and the actors embrace the dialogue and emotions to lean into the tragedy of our current world and the absurdity of it getting worse. Soon it will just be empty buildings and unmarked graves.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 27, 2026 Full Review The Serpent's Skin (2025) 92% 6/10 EDIT “By supplying its messaging via universally understood packaging, maybe its intent can be better absorbed too. The final product is quite messy, but its earnest desire to open minds is not.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 27, 2026 Full Review A Magnificent Life (2025) 62% 7/10 EDIT “The animation style remains the same as Chomet’s earlier films with detailed sets and expressive characters. It’s just a fun depiction of the hard work, ingenuity, and dumb luck intrinsic to a career in the arts.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 77% 6/10 EDIT “The scene where Amanda does share with the group is the standout moment because the whole thing is working towards that release, but also because Byrne imbues it with an authenticity that rises above the obvious pathway there.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Dead Lover (2025) 86% 6/10 EDIT “I’d be lying if I didn’t say my overall feeling was more appreciation than enjoyment. Its ingenuity, on-screen excitement, and comical depravity ensured that I was never at risk of stopping altogether, though.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “The film’s progression through bureaucratic black holes and intentional tactics meant to wear down the Soviet Union’s last honorable citizen is thus toeing the line between farce and thriller. We’re watching in a constant state of unease.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Touch Me (2025) 86% 7/10 EDIT “Those impulses are as much a drug as narcotics, pharmaceuticals, and space slime. The emotionally parasitic cycle of relationships mirroring the actual parasitic cycle of an alien’s ambitions. The stranger things get, the more real the message becomes.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 20, 2026 Full Review U Are the Universe (2024) 7/10 EDIT “[We're] witnessing a real microcosm of life through the eyes of an introvert who escaped Earth to avoid the sadness of living alone only to ultimately discover the dignity of dying together.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 6/10 EDIT “Less a Jurassic Park film than a straight survival film wearing Jurassic Park skin, Rebirth leans into the suspense and hopes its verbosely generic plot doesn’t bore audiences to death with clunky dialogue and two-dimensional characters.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Preschool (2026) 6/10 EDIT “Preschool truly lives and dies by how you embrace Duhamel and Socha in these very flawed yet relatable roles. This is the sort of comedy that demands its performances elevate the plot’s rote machinations and I believe they do exactly that.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 8/10 EDIT “Think of Slanted as the reverse Get Out. It also very effectively points to the shame inherent to being a non-white citizen of a country hellbent on infantilizing, exploiting, destroying, and/or becoming you.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review The Optimist: The Bravest Act Is Truth (2023) 95% 7/10 EDIT “Taylor’s script succeeds in bridging the gap by stripping his present-day leads of age and impact to simply exist as victims with the capacity to see their pain in the other’s face and recognize they aren’t alone.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% 7/10 EDIT “It pulls the curtain on the artifice and shows the unforgivable cost to what Hansen did and how [he was] allowed to do it. This subject is much bigger than [that], though, so the film plays like more of a table-turned "gotcha" moment of its own.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Mar 12, 2026 Full Review
