Mother Mary (2026) Stephen A. Russell For all its uncanny psychology and visceral stabs at gruesome body horror, Lowery's film is also wickedly camp ... Cult status surely awaits.

Michael (2026) Luke Goodsell Perhaps it’s just as Jackson himself would have wanted — to remain a mystery.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Drama (2026) Luke Goodsell This layered, thorny, often unnerving film is as psychologically intense as it is comedic. In other words, it's a perfect date movie.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Wuthering Heights (2026) Luke Goodsell Fennell can't get to the essence of a story that's always been more of a haunting than a romance, nor conjure up something sufficiently radical to make it her own.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Luke Goodsell Even at her most stretched, Byrne is never less than committed to this complex, contradictory study in the perils of parenthood.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Die My Love (2025) Luke Goodsell Lawrence gives a performance that refuses explanation – by her husband, by the institutions, by pretty much everyone around her. It's a firecracker.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Wicked: For Good (2025) Luke Goodsell The problem, at least on screen, is that so much of the narrative becomes emotionally repetitive, circling ideas that were front and centre in Wicked: Part One.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
TRON: Ares (2025) Luke Goodsell Rote, unimaginative storytelling, proving just how tired this concept has become after four decades of imitation.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Luke Goodsell Casual acquaintances just might emerge with a new-found love of the music.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Luke Goodsell A breezy and intermittently funny comedy that sticks to the playbook of every decades-later sequel, sending its hero back to zero to lazily rehash the beats of its predecessor.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Luke Goodsell Gunn’s cornball humanism is almost as awkward as the film’s Obama-era #hashtag jokes.
Posted May 09, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
After Tonight (1933) David Parkinson Best known for B-westerns, George Archainbaud shrouds the cheap-looking sets in moody shadow to create an air of tragic futility.
Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Exit 8 (2025) Stephen A. Russell A creepier spin on Groundhog Day ... Exit 8 works both as anxiety-inducing horror and a philosophical musing on embracing life's challenges. Closer to the unmooring ennui of Donnie Darko than the Bill Murray-led classic's dark comedy.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Dolly (2025) Stephen A. Russell So what if Blackhurst and co-writer Brandon Weavil lean heavily into slasher tropes and outright Chain Saw homage? This purposeful porcelain cap-doff is gruesomely gory fun.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Pillion (2025) Stephen A. Russell Writer/director Harry Lighton's limber debut feature ... isn't as easy to pin down as Colin is by Ray ... Pillion unzips straight-laces, revving its enigmatic engine to bend expectation.
Posted Mar 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Predator: Badlands (2025) Stephen A. Russell Delivering oddball comedy alongside Trachtenberg's frenetically staged action ... Badlands borrows from the Predator, Alien, Godzilla and Jurassic Park franchises, miraculously escaping feeling derivative.
Posted Nov 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Dream Scenario (2023) Keva York Cage gives a performance that is by turns subtle, funny, and excruciating, but his character is ultimately less than compelling.
Posted Sep 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025) Luke Goodsell Haters will burn with renewed fire, but if you’ve ever had a soft spot for U2, it may just make you fall in love with them all over again.
Posted Jun 20, 2025  Edit critic review
All That's Left of You (2025) Stephen A. Russell In adopting the Bakris to help tell her story, and that of the Palestinian people more broadly, Dabis, who also wrote the film's screenplay, layers unbearable authenticity into their trials.
Posted Jun 18, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Inertia (2025) Bradley Gibson Flaws notwithstanding, Inertia has plentiful charm and energy to be enjoyed, while serving as a parable about the power of human emotion.
Posted Jun 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Luke Goodsell McQuarrie and Cruise seem to have forgotten the fact that nobody goes to a Mission: Impossible picture for the plot.
Posted May 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) Luke Goodsell One of the ugliest self-portraits in the history of pop star movies, alternately self-loathing and self-pitying, solipsistic and grimly exhilarating. If you’re a scholar of pop stardom, it’s also essential.
Posted May 21, 2025  Edit critic review
The Penguin Lessons (2024) Luke Goodsell Coogan does nice work shading the moral ambiguities of his character, although the movie is ultimately resistant to exploring the thornier aspects of its political backdrop.
Posted May 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Small Things Like These (2024) Luke Goodsell As he did in Oppenheimer, Murphy suggests worlds of conflict beyond the word. In repose, his stillness says so much.
Posted May 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Oh Canada (2024) Luke Goodsell The film becomes a reckoning for a generation who set out to change the world with their art, their music, their movies — but for whom the end is fast approaching. What do they have to show for it?
Posted Mar 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Disney's Snow White (2025) Luke Goodsell As ever, the new version makes a great trailer for the original.
Posted Mar 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Flow (2024) Luke Goodsell It’s hard to remember the last time that Disney, DreamWorks or Pixar got anywhere near Flow’s sense of wonder or imagination.
Posted Mar 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Nickel Boys (2024) Luke Goodsell Its stylistic accomplishment is less in reanimating history than making it live and breathe in the present — to interrogate ideas about the gaze, and what we as an audience bring to the table.
Posted Mar 10, 2025  Edit critic review
The Last Showgirl (2024) Luke Goodsell The Last Showgirl gets at something about Anderson to which we’ve never really been exposed — the actor, and the artist, behind the icon.
Posted Feb 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025) Luke Goodsell Unlike so many fame-obsessed rock docs, there’s a dedicated focus on the music itself — as exclusively recounted by the people who made it.
Posted Feb 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Presence (2024) Luke Goodsell The movie is hardly diminished by its conventional narrative punch. Soderbergh and Koepp keep the movie tense and twisty right through to its disquieting final image.
Posted Feb 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Maria (2024) Luke Goodsell A soulful, sometimes spooky glance at a diva at the edge of oblivion, and a portrait as rich, melancholy and moving as its subject.
Posted Jan 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Companion (2025) Luke Goodsell Hancock might have leaned harder into his film’s underlying ideas, which are rich with potential. Still, the movie is entertaining, and more than a little mischievous.
Posted Jan 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Back in Action (2025) Luke Goodsell When the filmmaking is this generic, and the writing this uninspired, you do have to wonder how far we’re away from a movie like this being entirely, and indifferently, generated by AI.
Posted Jan 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Wolf Man (2025) Luke Goodsell Whannell strips away much of the familiar mythology, adding a fresh ripple to the tale with a tense, almost claustrophobic thriller that focuses on family — and the darkness lurking within
Posted Jan 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) Luke Goodsell Jenkins might have been an inspired choice of director — and he’s approached the project with an admirable degree of sincerity — but even he can’t quite wrestle this film away from its creative redundancy.
Posted Dec 19, 2024  Edit critic review
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) Luke Goodsell The War of the Rohirrim proves there’s a limit to the spell a franchise can cast without the spark of its creator’s imagination.
Posted Dec 14, 2024  Edit critic review
Rumours (2024) Luke Goodsell It all becomes a little repetitive, if not outright tiresome, at a certain point, once the filmmakers’ pursuit of the strange starts to outpace the flimsiness of their satire. Still, as you might expect from Maddin, there’s nothing else quite like it.
Posted Dec 10, 2024  Edit critic review
Goodrich (2024) Luke Goodsell Meyers-Shyer digs deeper than the material suggests, offering nuanced portraits of creative people who’ve spent their lives making (or curating) art at the expense of their emotional health.
Posted Dec 09, 2024  Edit critic review
Blitz (2024) Luke Goodsell There’s something quietly subversive about McQueen smuggling this story of the dispossessed into the stuffy old World War II drama.
Posted Dec 09, 2024  Edit critic review
The Piano Lesson (2024) Luke Goodsell It feels like nothing short of an exorcism — and proof of the enduring power of Wilson’s work.
Posted Nov 12, 2024  Edit critic review
Here (2024) Luke Goodsell Here’s emotional effect is cumulative and, thanks to expert performances from the two leads, in many ways quite moving.
Posted Nov 11, 2024  Edit critic review
Smile 2 (2024) Luke Goodsell A striking 21st century pop fable, connecting its grinning curse to the malevolent effects of superstardom.
Posted Oct 17, 2024  Edit critic review
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) Luke Goodsell While Super/Man is largely a conventional documentary portrait, there’s no doubt that it’s a moving one.
Posted Oct 12, 2024  Edit critic review
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Luke Goodsell Folie à Deux might avoid populist kicks, but it also reveals the limit to Phillips’s subversion of our expectations.
Posted Oct 03, 2024  Edit critic review
Megalopolis (2024) Luke Goodsell It's a bold, beautiful portrait of humanity in all of its paradox, and if it does turn out to be Coppola's swan song, then it's as vital a piece of filmmaking as his greatest work.
Posted Sep 27, 2024  Edit critic review
Jung Kook: I Am Still (2024) Luke Goodsell What emerges is a portrait of an artist in search of his identity, driven by a desire to satisfy his audience while yearning to break free as a solo performer.
Posted Sep 24, 2024  Edit critic review
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Luke Goodsell In place of the playful, anything-goes abandon of the first movie, the sequel has a much more calculated, plot-heavy design. The gags are there, but they feel less organic.
Posted Sep 13, 2024  Edit critic review
Blink Twice (2024) Luke Goodsell Kravitz's stranger, more unruly instincts might have gotten lost in a familiar tale of revenge, but Blink Twice is evidence of a filmmaker feeling out some prickly, powerful terrain.
Posted Aug 22, 2024  Edit critic review
It Ends With Us (2024) Luke Goodsell Whatever its faults, there’s something to be said for the way in which it gets to the essence of its source material, delivering an emotional experience that manages to be both clear-eyed and thorny in its complexity.
