All of a Sudden (2026) EDIT “It achieves a kind of levitating grace, before depositing you back down in your seat again, a slightly different, slightly mended version of the person you were before. ” – Variety May 15, 2026 Full Review The Meltdown (2026) EDIT “The Meltdown is another fine showcase for Martelli’s poise and promise as a director, but nine-tenths of it remain underwater.” – Variety May 15, 2026 Full Review Another Round (2020) 93% EDIT “Some viewers may long for a more outright condemnatory or celebratory narrative, but if Another Round opens with Kierkegaard, ultimately it ends up espousing the beautiful ambivalence of a different philosopher... Homer Simpson. ” – Sight & Sound May 14, 2026 Full Review Cow (2021) 96% EDIT “Luma the cow stars in Andrea Arnold’s passionate and confrontatively immersive dairy industry documentary. ” – Sight & Sound May 14, 2026 Full Review After Yang (2021) 89% EDIT “Kogonada’s second feature extracts an emotional core from artificial intelligence when a family’s robot child ‘dies’, but the film dodges the reckoning with big questions that its premise promises. ” – Sight & Sound May 14, 2026 Full Review Red Rocket (2021) 90% EDIT “Red Rocket, for all its liveliness and humor, is a pinkly iced and sprinkled portrait of a man, and a nation, with a hole in the middle.” – Sight & Sound May 14, 2026 Full Review Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) 100% EDIT “Schoenbrun’s delirious third film is their most accomplished, most persuasive and most playful movie yet. ” – Variety May 13, 2026 Full Review CODA (2021) 94% EDIT “Scrubbed of the smoke and regret that make the original such an anthem of hard-won life experience, only the brightest, most hopeful notes remain, ringing pure and sweet and appealing, if not exactly true.” – Sight & Sound May 13, 2026 Full Review Anatomy of a Fall (2023) 96% EDIT “In vivid, clean lines, Anatomy of a Fall navigates this moral morass and exposes the absurdity of trying to pluck from it a simplistic, binary verdict.” – Sight & Sound May 13, 2026 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% EDIT “A joyous, masterful work of folk magic that plays like a discovery dug up from the ground where it has been for centuries, just waiting, in a rebellious reversal of that tragic shrine scene, to burst into full bloom before the gaze of living eyes.” – Sight & Sound May 13, 2026 Full Review Small, Slow But Steady (2022) 100% EDIT “The tough and tender Small, Slow But Steady tracks a powerful slow-dawning realisation that even after all your support structures crumble, there can still be something left. Call it spirit, call it resolve – it is unique, yet available to everybody. ” – Sight & Sound May 13, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% EDIT “While it doesn’t pretend to some grand philosophy, the movie’s sparseness does give it some mileage as an allegory for how changing things up is the only way to break a cycle of destructive, circular thinking.” – Variety Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 46% EDIT “A bloated mess of philosophising and incomplete plotlines, made with such sincerity it becomes fascinatingly lovable.” – Sight & Sound Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Wolfs (2024) 67% EDIT “Instead of bouncy banter we get interminable repetitions of the same line back and forth, with different inflections, as though we’re watching some ungodly riff on the Abbott & Costello “Who’s on First?” sketch, minus the actual wordplay. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 18, 2025 Full Review In Camera (2023) 100% EDIT “Naqqash Khalid’s frequently inspired debut delivers a sharp skewering of the British film industry with an extraordinary lead performance from Nabhaan Rizwan as struggling actor Aden. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% EDIT “Folie à Deux is a far less morally quarrelsome film, which makes it both less interesting and a sight more enjoyable – if you like the songs. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 18, 2025 Full Review The Holy Boy (2025) EDIT “Plot and character are knotted elegantly around a surprisingly melancholic core, that reminds us we need pain in our lives, even when our lives are made unlivable by that pain. ” – Variety Nov 26, 2025 Full Review God Will Not Help (2025) EDIT “Even at 137 minutes, it never drags. Instead it slowly scorches deeper, an ember that carries inside it the potential at any moment to ignite with some uncontrollable emotion.” – Variety Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Becoming (2025) EDIT “A stirring portrait of a solitary young woman longing to belong and to be free of belonging, while learning the harsh lesson that, swim all you like, some undercurrents are just too strong to escape. ” – Variety Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Sorella di Clausura (2025) EDIT “Once you [see past the shock factor], it’s strangely sweet and -- apologies to the filmmakers, who will likely be horrified -- heartwarming.” – Variety Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% EDIT “By turns swoony, funny, panicky and sad, this is the director’s most vivid creation yet.” – Sight & Sound Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% EDIT “A superb Daniel Craig drinks and dopes his days away in Mexico and becomes besotted with a young man in Guadagnino’s poetic reinvention of Burroughs’ grimy, semi-autobiographical novel. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% EDIT “At just the point you fear you (and Romy) have had all the fun you can be allowed Reijn takes delight in swerving away from the obvious moralistic outcome.” – Sight & Sound Nov 11, 2025 Full Review April (2024) 95% EDIT “For all her rebellion and acts of resistance, the very existence of that wheezing deformity within Nina, that thing that lives inside her... represents the final triumph of the malignant, invisible but ubiquitous force that is patriarchal oppression.” – Sight & Sound Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) 95% EDIT “Unfolding in a playful but deeply felt register that is perhaps more melancomedy than tragicomedy, but that delivers the rare satisfaction of watching modest, thoughtful people find just what they need in the last place they’d expect it.” – Sight & Sound Nov 4, 2025 Full Review
