Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026)
100%
EDIT
“When Schoenbrun’s movie does give its main character everything she wants, it doesn’t play like a withdrawal into the past at all but something more poignant — a means of reconnecting with some part of that initial encounter with a work that moved her.” –

Club Kid (2026)
EDIT
“Firstman himself is plenty charming too, as eager to cede the spotlight to his sharper costars as he is to lean into Peter’s arrested development.” –

The Sheep Detectives (2026)
94%
EDIT
“The reason the sheep are capable of conveying emotionally resonant experiences is because there’s a tangibility to them onscreen that’s not just about design but to how well they fit within the movie’s slightly heightened reality.” –

Mortal Kombat II (2026)

EDIT
“Mortal Kombat II is just McQuoid turning a big dial that says “fan service” while looking back at test audiences for their reaction.” –

Our Land (2025)

EDIT
“That unnatural quality of drone footage, its ability to pull up off the ground and pivot as if you’re fiddling with Google Earth, is something Martel turns into an asset throughout the film.” –

Apex (2026)
66%
EDIT
“Apex never quite knits together Ben’s mommy issues with Sasha’s more complicated ones, but it’s a satisfying showcase for Theron’s continued capacity as one of our most reliable action stars.” –

Michael (2026)

EDIT
“What Jaafar does amounts to an elaborate impression instead of an interpretation, re-creating the voice and the famous choreography and otherwise staring blankly into the middle distance when called upon to transmit emotions. ” –

Mother Mary (2026)

EDIT
“It’s when they’re meant to seem like real people that Mother Mary stumbles. ... And even then, Lowery is too compelling a stylist and has too earnest a heart for what he’s made to be easily shrugged off.” –

The Christophers (2025)
95%
EDIT
“ For all the undercurrents about fame, commodification, and reputation that flow through The Christophers, at its core is a more plaintive lament about what it feels like to love something that doesn’t love you back.” –

Exit 8 (2025)
93%
EDIT
“Exit 8 is a thriller about how the idea of being a parent can become so abstract that it feels immense and terrifying, but that it’s not actually that daunting to decide to be there for another person, whatever that might mean.” –

Miroirs No. 3 (2025)

undertone (2025)

EDIT
“Undertone is creepy enough without needing to knit its haunting into its main character’s background so clunkily; ironically, its most effective moments are ones of stylistic indifference. ” –

Sirāt (2025)
