B-
Lorne (2026) David Ehrlich Though “Lorne” is prone to some overly relaxed pacing, the film is held tight enough by the grip that Michaels has maintained over his little fiefdom for more than half a century.

C-
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) David Ehrlich Everything Katie does has to be deniable enough for her parents to roll with it, a story choice that defangs Cronin’s ability to let loose. The jolts are muted, the setpieces are drab, and the gore is all too literally kept under wraps.

A-
Mother Mary (2026) David Ehrlich It’s all rather vague and uncertain, like the contours of a rotting old friendship; the movie’s surfaces are as simple as the lyrics of a pop song, and its depths as rich and boundless as the feelings that same pop song might summon.

C-
Outcome (2026) David Ehrlich A film about the freedom of not letting other people determine your self-worth. I can only hope that Jonah Hill doesn’t read the reviews for his latest work.

C+
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Ryan Lattanzio A wish fulfillment in feature-film-shaped form and little else, “You, Me & Tuscany” isn’t especially memorable or surprising, but there’s a soothing, smoothed-over quality to this film that makes it a suitable candidate for your next airplane viewing.

Steal This Story, Please! (2025) Christian Zilko The components that make “Steal This Story, Please!” a useful activism tool also turn it into an underwhelming piece of art. The film is only interested in portraying Goodman as an unambiguous hero.

B
The Travel Companion (2025) Christian Zilko It’s not entirely safe from cliches... But Wood, Mallis, and co-writer Weston Auburn satirize the subtle ways that aspiring filmmakers, programmers, and cinephiles talk to each other so effectively that the film should charm its intended audience.

C+
Thrash (2026) Kate Erbland As a basic disaster flick? “Thrash” works, and offers up less than 90 minutes of admirably silly and occasionally chilling action, even if it could stand to take a bigger bite out of the story.
Posted Apr 13, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
The Blue Trail (2025) Ryan Lattanzio What helps make this “Blue Trail” soar beyond its roots are Guillermo Garza’s vivid, Academy-ratio cinematography and Memo Guerra’s hauntingly wounded woodwind score. Basically, you can’t tell the difference between our now and this movie’s present.

B+
Faces of Death (2026) David Ehrlich It’s to the credit of Goldhaber’s film that “Faces of Death” is able to satisfy on a basic, audience-forward level even as its concept has clear priority over the more visceral expectations of its genre.

C
Pizza Movie (2026) David Ehrlich While McElhaney and Kocher don’t land enough of their punchlines for me to ever think about reheating their film for another watch, they also never take the easy way out; even the worst jokes here are possessed with a real love of the game.

C-
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Wilson Chapman There’s no sense of discovery when it comes to these planets, meticulously created to resemble the games without nary a wrinkle of surprise to be found. The animation style doesn’t help: this galaxy is an impossibly shiny one.
Posted Mar 31, 2026  Edit critic review
B
The Drama (2026) David Ehrlich Hell is always other people in Borgli’s films, and this one -- if thinner and more rhetorical than his others -- stands out for how sharply it details the freefall down from heaven.
Posted Mar 31, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
DreamQuil (2026) Katie Rife While simply admiring the look of “DreamQuil” is enough to sustain interest throughout the film’s abbreviated 89-minute run time, it also means that what sticks in the viewer’s memory after it’s over is a series of images and not ideas.
Posted Mar 30, 2026  Edit critic review
C+
Chili Finger (2026) Chase Hutchinson By the time it drags to a close, "Chili Finger" is never quite able to shake the feeling that it took the best leftovers of other movies, sliced them into pieces, haphazardly smashed them all together, and attempted to serve up the resulting combination.
Posted Mar 30, 2026  Edit critic review
D-
Touch Me (2025) Chase Hutchinson With one overlong, obnoxious scene after another, the only thing "Touch Me" gets right is that you, too, will want to talk to your therapist about it, as you ponder how a film this disastrous can also keep insisting on itself this much.

C
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Alison Foreman The ingredients are all there, but never coalesce into a coherent thesis.
Posted Mar 26, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Campeón Gabacho (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Not all of it works, and late stretches skew toward the saccharine, but Cuarón’s vision is nonetheless singular, grounded by a tour-de-force young performer.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Brian (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Ropp’s darkly funny and ultimately sweet-natured comedy is a promising start for the actor-turned-director. With a little more scope, his next film will be even better.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
A-
Esta Isla (2025) Carlos Aguilar These larger sociopolitical preoccupations remain just under the surface, never stepping fully into the foreground to take over the spotlight. Yet, they enter the narrative by way of the characters’ emotional connection to those before them.
Posted Mar 20, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
They Will Kill You (2026) Katie Rife Once the overstimulation sets in, it’s difficult to move beyond it, and the resulting numbness may explain how a film that has so much going on can go from exhilarating to underwhelming over the course of 94 action-packed minutes.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story (2026) Kate Erbland Not everything is resolved, but that’s hardly the intent here. Instead, it’s a question of the true nature of discovery, and how much people are willing to see of themselves.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Manhood (2026) Ryan Lattanzio “Manhood” isn’t reinventing the form -- even as the men it follows are reinventing theirs -- but it’s super charming in its straightforward aims at tackling taboo material.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Hokum (2026) Katie Rife It’s just a good old-fashioned ghost story, the kind you’d tell over a campfire to scare children. And it’s a hair-raising one at that.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Katie Rife This is a glib and insincere effort, trying to graft a fun moviegoing experience onto a depressing story about hateful people reveling in each other’s pain. Again, this could be entertaining in the right hands. Here, it just feels smug.
Posted Mar 16, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Katie Rife This movie is best watched in pajamas, perhaps with a container of takeout on your lap.
Posted Mar 16, 2026  Edit critic review
C+
Dead Lover (2025) Vikram Murthi Its prolonged, forced zaniness unfortunately taints everything it touches. With that said, there are definitely people who will take to this kind of film like a duck to water.

C
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Chase Hutchinson All you’re left with is the echo of what was better before. You watch only able to wish Weaving was given more to work with than this, or, at the very least, greater room for her iconic scream to rattle you once more.

B-
Pretty Lethal (2026) Lé Baltar For hardcore fans of the genre and ballet alike, it’s basically a treasure trove, regardless of whether it cannot reference other ballets past “The Nutcracker,” regardless of whether all the hijinks miss a beat or stop short of depth.

The Sun Never Sets (2026) Christian Zilko “The Sun Never Sets” is a masterful portrait of humanity’s inability to figure out what we actually want at any given time.

B
I Love Boosters (2026) Ryan Lattanzio As far as genre movies that actually turn out to be political missives go, there are worse entertainments. And with Keke Palmer at the front, you’re always in sure hands. I don’t know if we love boosters, but we certainly like them.
Posted Mar 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Show Me Love (1998) Oliver Skinner "Fucking Åmål" captures the bittersweet desperation of youth: a tragedy as it's in the midst of occurring yet such a comedy in hindsight. It's a totally endearing love story free of artifice — with an optimism rare for these sort of flicks.

B-
Reminders of Him (2026) Kate Erbland While not a slam-dunk, Vanessa Caswill’s “Reminders of Him” is easily the best Hoover film adaptation yet, bolstered by strong performances and an emotional center that does not primarily rely on some kind of tortured romance (though, that’s there, too!).
Posted Mar 11, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Flies (2026) Ryan Lattanzio As end-of-innocence tales of youth go, “Flies” is refreshingly unsentimental.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
A-
Project Hail Mary (2026) Kate Erbland To write more about the pleasures and pains of “Project Hail Mary” would be a disservice to what’s most entertaining and satisfying about the film: watching it unfold, enjoying the process, accepting the mission, asking the big questions.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Miriam Balanescu This time round, though, an unfortunate silliness sometimes creeps in, where the film risks tipping over Shakespearean-size emotions into embarrassing bathos.
Posted Mar 09, 2026  Edit critic review
C-
THE BRIDE! (2026) Ryan Lattanzio “The Bride!” is full of rage and feeling, striking an anarchic pose against oppression. But who it’s yelling at, who it’s yelling on behalf of, remains out of focus.
Posted Mar 04, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Hoppers (2026) Wilson Chapman There’s not enough time to deepen the sweet friendship between Mabel and George into something as powerful as, say, Merlin and Dory in “Finding Nemo.” Still, what we do get is pretty uniformly delightful.
Posted Mar 02, 2026  Edit critic review
D+
Scream 7 (2026) Alison Foreman Williamson’s greatest failure comes in the film’s relationship to meta-commentary. Once the series’ calling card, self-awareness has here been dulled into self-soothing.

B-
Wolfram (2025) Ritesh Mehta It lands with gravitas and yields unexpected character dividends. If only the narrative functioned otherwise more conventionally, at least as thrill, tragedy, and catharsis go. Or at least you might find you wish it did.

The Blood Countess (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Make no mistake that “The Blood Countess” is gorgeous, but its cabinet of curiosities, like a subway peddler opening up his coat to the trinkets for sale therein, are mostly revealed to be a disappointment.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
We Are All Strangers (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Filmmaker Anthony Chen returns with a fifth feature that’s as emotionally generous as it is frothily melodramatic -- in ways that are addictively entertaining, frustrating, and ultimately too empathetic to shun.

Rose (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Not since Sally Potter’s breakout feature “Orlando” has a film explored gender privilege so effectively through a historical lens and via a singularly astounding European actress.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Kate Erbland This should be tighter, meaner, leaner, cutting. How to make a killing? Let’s worry about the smaller stuff first.

C-
A New Dawn (2026) Blake Simons Shinomiya’s engagement with the impact of climate change, gentrification, and urban encroachment on our green world is admirable, but these themes are explored in a series of undeveloped “yes, and”-style non sequiturs, both visual and aural.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Sunny Dancer (2026) Christian Zilko Sunny Dancer might work better as a concept on paper than a movie onscreen. But there’s still no denying that, just like Patrick, Jaques has made a bleak subgenre of cinema a little bit sunnier.
Posted Feb 19, 2026  Edit critic review
C+
Midwinter Break (2026) Ryan Lattanzio The script here is too stiffly restrained to a fault to make much of an emotional impact, even as spending time with these actors historically is never without pleasures.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Queen at Sea (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Hammer spares no hard truths and offers no pat feelings with regard to how these people are bound to end up and what dementia ultimately does to them... But the actors help carry Hammer’s message -- and make it unforgettable.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Nina Roza (2026) Lé Baltar Like the eponymous gifted girl’s paintings, “Nina Roza” is subtly cosmic, compelling, and impressionistic. It powerfully commits to symbolic, time-shifting flourishes scattered throughout its swerving narrative. It is a work of legitimate form.

Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) Ben Croll It’s a riff, played with real skill, lingering on dissonance rather than release. How fitting.
