All of a Sudden (2026) David Ehrlich Marathon-like as “All of a Sudden” might be, its message resonates so deeply because of the many elisions that it refuses to make, which leave the few handful of gaps in its timeline to feel like yawning chasms.

Club Kid (2026) Richard Lawson It’s a confident, exciting directorial debut, stylish in an unobtrusive way and agreeably paced.

A-
Club Kid (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Club Kid has real potential to break out bigger than its seemingly niche scope would suggest, with Firstman finally shirking the ironic pose he’s taken online for years to emerge as a sincere storyteller with heart as much as humor.

B-
The Meltdown (2026) David Ehrlich That approach is sneakily effective in spots, especially as it expresses itself through the tenuous friendship that forms between Inés and Lina, but the girl’s reluctance to challenge the status quo has a chilling effect on the movie’s forward momentum

C-
Parallel Tales (2026) David Ehrlich Farhadi is a master storyteller whose films thrive in the corners that most screenwriters avoid at all costs, but “Parallel Tales” fails to find the pleasure or the tension in even the simplest of tropes.

A-
Is God Is (2026) Alison Foreman By the time “Is God Is” reaches its electric conclusion, the filmmaker-turned-genre god delivers the rare kind of catharsis that can only come from a hideous tale told with complete confidence.

B
Fatherland (2026) Ryan Lattanzio About as sentimental as any film by the Polish auteur gets -- which is to say not at all, despite one long-delayed tear finally shed -- it’s another austere, rigorously crafted odyssey through European postwar regret.

A-
Ashes (2026) Carlos Aguilar The tonal subtlety of “Ashes,” which doesn’t undermine its quietly heartbreaking poignancy, showcases an artistic maturity on Luna’s part.

B+
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) Ryan Lattanzio In terms of craftsmanship, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is through and through a Jane Schoenbrun movie; there is absolutely no one else, alive or dead, who could have made a feature that looks and feels like this one.

B+
Nagi Notes (2026) David Ehrlich If “Nagi Notes” is so watchful and unforced that it often seems as though it isn’t looking for answers as hard as it should be, Fukada’s elegant plotting gradually allows this quiet film to assume the forcefulness of a full-throated shout.

B-
A Woman's Life (2026) Kate Erbland Despite the full-bodied nature of the film in its first half -- a great big breathing thing that feels vérité in its scope and ambition -- as Gabrielle’s obsession with Frida grows, things narrow. The character narrows.

B-
Butterfly Jam (2026) David Ehrlich It’s only once “Butterfly Jam” seems doomed to repeat the same dark fatalism of Balagov’s earlier work that it suddenly affirms itself as the bittersweet fable that it’s been all along.

C
Driver's Ed (2025) Richard Lawson There are a few laughs to be found in the film, little moments of wit or weirdness, but the film is otherwise a mirthless drag rescued only by its bright leads. Maybe let them make the movie next time.

C
The Electric Kiss (2026) Ben Croll Unable to neatly reconcile its two narrative premises, the film loses momentum, pushing well past the brisk runtime and zippy pace this kind of material usually depends on.

B
Amrum (2025) David Opie This really is “a Hark Bohm Film by Fatih Akin,” which conversely has us more excited than we have been in a long time to see what Akin gets up to next.

B
Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) Kate Erbland There’s something increasingly rare (yes, even more rare than Alfred Molina voicing a huge sea creature): a book-to-film adaptation that actually adapts the material, and does not just crib blindly from the original.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B
The Sheep Detectives (2026) Wilson Chapman If “The Sheep Detectives” were just a gimmicky movie about a flock solving a human murder, it would still be a relatively fun time. But this little tale has a surprising amount of heart and intelligence.

B
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Ryan Lattanzio “Hit Me Hard and Soft” is largely shot like a typical concert movie except for the fact that it’s in 3D -- but the 3D works exceptionally well to place you onstage with Eilish, who works without backup dancers and with an intimately scaled band.

C-
Mortal Kombat II (2026) Alison Foreman Organizing that chaos into a coherent blockbuster format is a key part of the assignment here. But in “Mortal Kombat II,” McQuoid fails to connect even the strengths of his own hard work from five years ago with the hit he should be releasing today.

B
Departures (2025) David Opie For gay viewers especially aligned to these experiences, for those of us familiar with these "dickheads that fucked us over" firsthand, "Departures" is a cult classic in the making.

C
Swapped (2026) David Ehrlich ...while its world is bright enough to work as a distracting bauble, kids will struggle to stay engaged long enough to get anything out of its message about how a scarcity mindset...can turn the whole world into resentful strangers.

D+
Animal Farm (2025) Alison Foreman This new “Animal Farm” doesn’t just reopen the door to Orwell’s genius. It yanks at it, kicks at it, and leaves Serkis, Stoller, and their cast hanging from its hinges.

C+
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Kate Erbland If it ain’t broke… well, maybe don’t make a whole sequel about it? More optimistically, if this sequel is giving the fans more of what they loved in the first place, at least it’s not wholly disastrous or oddly insulting. It’s fine.

C+
Deep Water (2026) David Ehrlich If this isn’t quite the best shark movie since “Deep Blue Sea” (that honor still belongs to “The Shallows,” or maybe “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” if you stretch the rules a little), it’s a lot higher up the food chain than it should be.
Posted Apr 28, 2026  Edit critic review
C+
Roommates (2026) Christian Zilko The film won’t be remembered as a campus classic, or even in the upper half of college movies, but it’s also not hard to see a world where somebody watches it at exactly the right time in their lives and proceeds to cherish it forever.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
C-
Michael (2026) Kate Erbland The film is tasked with covering the first 26 years of Jackson’s life and nearly two decades of his career. That’s a tough ask for any feature film, but the great leaps of time and logic that run through “Michael” err on the side of boring.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Lorne (2026) David Ehrlich Though “Lorne” is prone to some overly relaxed pacing, the film is held tight enough by the grip that Michaels has maintained over his little fiefdom for more than half a century.
Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review
C-
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) David Ehrlich Everything Katie does has to be deniable enough for her parents to roll with it, a story choice that defangs Cronin’s ability to let loose. The jolts are muted, the setpieces are drab, and the gore is all too literally kept under wraps.

A-
Mother Mary (2026) David Ehrlich It’s all rather vague and uncertain, like the contours of a rotting old friendship; the movie’s surfaces are as simple as the lyrics of a pop song, and its depths as rich and boundless as the feelings that same pop song might summon.

C-
Outcome (2026) David Ehrlich A film about the freedom of not letting other people determine your self-worth. I can only hope that Jonah Hill doesn’t read the reviews for his latest work.

C+
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Ryan Lattanzio A wish fulfillment in feature-film-shaped form and little else, “You, Me & Tuscany” isn’t especially memorable or surprising, but there’s a soothing, smoothed-over quality to this film that makes it a suitable candidate for your next airplane viewing.

Steal This Story, Please! (2025) Christian Zilko The components that make “Steal This Story, Please!” a useful activism tool also turn it into an underwhelming piece of art. The film is only interested in portraying Goodman as an unambiguous hero.

B
The Travel Companion (2025) Christian Zilko It’s not entirely safe from cliches... But Wood, Mallis, and co-writer Weston Auburn satirize the subtle ways that aspiring filmmakers, programmers, and cinephiles talk to each other so effectively that the film should charm its intended audience.
Posted Apr 13, 2026  Edit critic review
C+
Thrash (2026) Kate Erbland As a basic disaster flick? “Thrash” works, and offers up less than 90 minutes of admirably silly and occasionally chilling action, even if it could stand to take a bigger bite out of the story.
Posted Apr 13, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
The Blue Trail (2025) Ryan Lattanzio What helps make this “Blue Trail” soar beyond its roots are Guillermo Garza’s vivid, Academy-ratio cinematography and Memo Guerra’s hauntingly wounded woodwind score. Basically, you can’t tell the difference between our now and this movie’s present.

B+
Faces of Death (2026) David Ehrlich It’s to the credit of Goldhaber’s film that “Faces of Death” is able to satisfy on a basic, audience-forward level even as its concept has clear priority over the more visceral expectations of its genre.

C
Pizza Movie (2026) David Ehrlich While McElhaney and Kocher don’t land enough of their punchlines for me to ever think about reheating their film for another watch, they also never take the easy way out; even the worst jokes here are possessed with a real love of the game.

C-
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Wilson Chapman There’s no sense of discovery when it comes to these planets, meticulously created to resemble the games without nary a wrinkle of surprise to be found. The animation style doesn’t help: this galaxy is an impossibly shiny one.

B
The Drama (2026) David Ehrlich Hell is always other people in Borgli’s films, and this one -- if thinner and more rhetorical than his others -- stands out for how sharply it details the freefall down from heaven.

B-
DreamQuil (2026) Katie Rife While simply admiring the look of “DreamQuil” is enough to sustain interest throughout the film’s abbreviated 89-minute run time, it also means that what sticks in the viewer’s memory after it’s over is a series of images and not ideas.

C+
Chili Finger (2026) Chase Hutchinson By the time it drags to a close, "Chili Finger" is never quite able to shake the feeling that it took the best leftovers of other movies, sliced them into pieces, haphazardly smashed them all together, and attempted to serve up the resulting combination.

D-
Touch Me (2025) Chase Hutchinson With one overlong, obnoxious scene after another, the only thing "Touch Me" gets right is that you, too, will want to talk to your therapist about it, as you ponder how a film this disastrous can also keep insisting on itself this much.

Forbidden Fruits (2026) Alison Foreman The ingredients are all there, but never coalesce into a coherent thesis.

B-
Campeón Gabacho (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Not all of it works, and late stretches skew toward the saccharine, but Cuarón’s vision is nonetheless singular, grounded by a tour-de-force young performer.

B
Brian (2026) Ryan Lattanzio Ropp’s darkly funny and ultimately sweet-natured comedy is a promising start for the actor-turned-director. With a little more scope, his next film will be even better.

A-
Esta Isla (2025) Carlos Aguilar 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.

B-
They Will Kill You (2026) Katie Rife Once the overstimulation sets in, it’s difficult to move beyond it, and the resulting numbness may explain how a film that has so much going on can go from exhilarating to underwhelming over the course of 94 action-packed minutes.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story (2026) Kate Erbland Not everything is resolved, but that’s hardly the intent here. Instead, it’s a question of the true nature of discovery, and how much people are willing to see of themselves.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Manhood (2026) Ryan Lattanzio “Manhood” isn’t reinventing the form -- even as the men it follows are reinventing theirs -- but it’s super charming in its straightforward aims at tackling taboo material.

B+
Hokum (2026) Katie Rife It’s just a good old-fashioned ghost story, the kind you’d tell over a campfire to scare children. And it’s a hair-raising one at that.
