Instead, we get a predictable and formulaic romantic comedy...” – Mark Reviews Movies Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Kokuho (2025) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “It has splendid moments ... and a clear eye on studying its main character, but by the end, the movie feels much slighter than its scope suggests.” – Mark Reviews Movies Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 56% 2.5/4 EDIT “Jimpa does come across as a story that's not nearly as complete or, at least, as completely told as the filmmakers seem to think it is.” – Mark Reviews Movies Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 56% 1.5/4 EDIT “The best ideas of Besson's approach have been done by other movie versions already, and his unique additions ... are only worthy of being dismissed after a bit of consideration.” – Mark Reviews Movies Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Iron Lung (2026) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's too bad, really, that Iron Lung goes on—and on—as long as it does...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Pike River (2025) 83% 2/4 EDIT “[A]s admirable as the filmmakers' intentions may be, the actual telling of this tale feels like a long trip to nowhere.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Paying for It (2024) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “Sonny's presence in this story is an unnecessary complicating factor to a tale that is already complicated and odd enough without it.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Natchez (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Facts, it seems, are even more stubborn things than history, or that is the hope, at least, by the end of Natchez.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Worldbreaker (2025) 50% 3/4 EDIT “The filmmakers have set us up to expect action and suspense, and instead, they have given us an intimate tale about a teenager coming of age and a parent guiding the way.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% 3/4 EDIT “Watching Shelter, it feels as if the story and characters came before the action in the minds of the filmmakers.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Send Help keeps surprising...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “It is deeply disturbing and adds yet another layer to the depths of selfishness, cruelty, and megalomania of Putin that people already know.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Islands (2025) 93% 3/4 EDIT “The mystery at the core of Gerster's film is intriguing. The subtleties of the characters ... make for an even more compelling experience.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Back to the Past (2025) 2.5/4 EDIT “[W]hile it doesn't keep newcomers in the dark, the movie doesn't exactly take full advantage of its characters and concept.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 74% 2/4 EDIT “The most significant problem with The Wrecking Crew is that it ultimately becomes a bland, predictable actioner.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 28, 2026 Full Review In Cold Light (2025) 48% 2/4 EDIT “[The] simplistic narrative feels like an unfortunate injustice to the initial setup.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 2/4 EDIT “Everything about the movie is ultimately generic, more than anything else.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Clika (2026) 10% 1.5/4 EDIT “Clika makes at least two major mistakes when it comes to the movie's main character.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% 3/4 EDIT “[I]t's fascinating to watch as the Adams Family flip the whole affair on its head.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Standout: The Ben Kjar Story (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The framing of this story is, perhaps, it's most important element...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 22, 2026 Full Review
