All of a Sudden (2026) 100% A EDIT “The result is a treasure, a transcendent film whose power is capable of rekindling one’s hope in humanity. It’s an invitation for those in the grasp of despair to maybe stay a little longer among the living.” – The Playlist May 15, 2026 Full Review Decorado (2025) 91% EDIT “An argument can be had about what will end up being the “best” animated feature released in 2026 -- it’s early -- but there’s little chance another film can dethrone “Decorado” as the most mind-bending.” – Variety May 15, 2026 Full Review Ashes (2026) 83% A- EDIT “The tonal subtlety of “Ashes,” which doesn’t undermine its quietly heartbreaking poignancy, showcases an artistic maturity on Luna’s part.” – IndieWire May 13, 2026 Full Review Obsession (2025) 94% B+ EDIT “Through the increasingly ghastly parade of grotesqueries, Barker sharply comments on poisonous relationships. Yes, Nikki’s actions are heightened for horror shock, but not entirely detached from believability. ” – The Playlist May 12, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 89% EDIT “Buoyed by Scott’s level-headed turn, Hokum is a proficient horror exploit, which hinges on atmosphere instead of gore, even if its many frightening threads feel disjointed, like rooms in distinctly different hotels.” – Variety Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Mārama (2025) 100% 2.5/4 EDIT “The fury of Osborne’s performance, nonetheless, keeps ‘Mārama' a worthy anti-colonialist statement that harnesses the symbolic virtues of genre cinema for its understandably virulent tone. ” – RogerEbert.com Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Palestine '36 (2025) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “That a traditionally realized historical drama with impeccable production value and consistently effective performances centers the Palestinian perspective makes for an essential endeavor. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Campeón Gabacho (2026) EDIT “To see this marginalized and dismissed underdog win, even if nothing could be further from surprising, resonates with piercing timeliness, if not with subtlety.” – Variety Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Esta Isla (2025) A- EDIT “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.” – IndieWire Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Crash Land (2026) 100% EDIT ““Crash Land” moves through familiar avenues structurally, yet its winsome nitwits become its greatest virtue.” – Variety Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% EDIT “Neither simplistically optimistic nor preachy, “Hoppers” smuggles timely ideas inside a rodent body. Pond rules would probably call that a beaver victory.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Crazy Old Lady (2025) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film allows Maura to mutate from the vulnerability of a woman grappling with long-suppressed trauma to the deranged glee of someone enjoying causing their victim pain.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 27, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 84% EDIT “A mixed bag of eye-catching imagery and formulaic writing, “Goat” disappoints because it follows every expected path toward a triumphant conclusion. ” – Los Angeles Times Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 73% EDIT “Despite any narrative quibbles, the movie deserves praise for its genuine call for compassion. ” – Los Angeles Times Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Weight (2026) 94% C EDIT “It’s a “dad movie” if there ever was one, with enough set-pieces to feel exciting, a semblance of dramatic complexity (so long as you don’t dig too deep), and acting ranging from proficient to excellent in an impressively photographed package.” – The Playlist Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Bedford Park (2026) 96% EDIT “Through all these, thankfully, Ahn directs Sukku and Choi into measured performances that not only ring emotionally truthful but complementary.” – Variety Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Hold Onto Me (2026) 100% EDIT “As their bond strengthens under strenuous circumstances, the actors’ performances evolve with the characters.” – Variety Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Islands (2025) 92% 3/4 EDIT “The character construction and how their respective desires intersect with one another, in tandem with an effectively dizzying atmosphere, render it more original than expected.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Leviticus (2026) 97% EDIT “With “Leviticus,” Chiarella wields horror in defense of queer love, avoiding easy sentimentalism, while also not surrendering to hopelessness, all while still satisfying the audience’s cravings for effective, bone-chilling uneasiness.” – Variety Jan 27, 2026 Full Review zi (2026) 67% B EDIT “For all its entrancing imagery, “Zi” is ultimately contrived in how the few concrete details of the narrative come together. The result is more experiential than thematically substantial.” – The Playlist Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Idiots (2026) 74% EDIT “Sure, the case can be made for this contrast between scatological humor and serious insight working as a mirror for how quickly a person’s reality can shift from joy to sorrow, but the overall effect is puzzling. ” – Variety Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 96% A EDIT “An audacious, potently unflinching, and profoundly humanistic gut-punch of a film.” – The Playlist Jan 24, 2026 Full Review American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (2026) 100% EDIT “As much as the doc is explicitly celebratory, its existence is inherently a political statement, just like Valdez’s oeuvre. To spotlight a Mexican American pioneer who still stands proud in all the nuances of his identity feels necessarily defiant.” – Variety Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Under the Flags, the Sun (2025) EDIT “An unsettling and informative introduction to Paraguay’s recent past, “Under the Flag, the Sun” attests to the notion of humanity’s interconnectivity even before the age of the internet. ” – Variety Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Dandelion’s Odyssey (2025) EDIT “After seeing the heroes fend for themselves, the resolution feels every bit as emotional as those in Don Bluth’s “The Land Before Time” or Disney’s “Dinosaur,” achieved with a fraction of the resources.” – Variety Dec 30, 2025 Full Review
