The Python Hunt (2025) 95% EDIT “The Python Hunt uses its subject mostly as a means to an end, to arrive at answers that have little to do with snakes and much more to do with the human soul.” – Spectrum Culture May 12, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 94% EDIT “The Sheep Detectives manages to surprise with the amount of depth it grants to its central and existential exploration of mortality and confronting unhappy thoughts.” – Spectrum Culture May 8, 2026 Full Review Animal Farm (2025) 27% EDIT “The poor quality of Animal Farm adaptations isn’t exactly new, but the effect of this one is much as Orwell described the life of his characters: miserable, laborious and short.” – Spectrum Culture May 4, 2026 Full Review Omaha (2025) 91% EDIT “By withholding context for the sake of mystery, Omaha ends up generating tension in a way that feels cheap, lacks complexity and diminishes the otherwise strong work both behind and in front of the camera.” – Spectrum Culture Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% EDIT “Some may be frustrated by Exit 8’s repetition, but others will find themselves eagerly anticipating whatever is around the next corner.” – Spectrum Culture Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% EDIT “After nearly three years in distribution purgatory, writer-director Daniel Goldhaber’s revival of the Faces of Death franchise doesn’t seem sure about how to justify its own existence.” – Spectrum Culture Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Alpha (2025) 58% EDIT “Ducournau is simply too thoughtful and striking a craftsman to produce an unengaging film, but her script struggles to reconcile its intellectual focus with the demands of a coherent narrative.” – Spectrum Culture Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Dreams (2025) 51% EDIT “Issues notwithstanding, Dreams is effective enough as a thematic statement to be modestly successful. ” – Spectrum Culture Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 98% EDIT “In this pseudo-sci-fi saga of two idiotic, loveable strivers, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol have achieved something that’s genuinely awe-inspiring.” – Spectrum Culture Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% EDIT “A salty-sweet film, with just a tinge of sourness in its bite, that acknowledges the bumpy road that comes with discovering what makes you tick.” – Spectrum Culture Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% EDIT “By the end, audiences may find themselves as tired of the Brat era as Charli herself seems to be.” – Spectrum Culture Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% EDIT “It’s a decent advertisement as to why one probably shouldn’t own a pet chimpanzee.” – Spectrum Culture Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% EDIT “Both Jackman and Hudson are capable of carrying the dramatic weight of the story, but Song Sung Blue only goes so deep before reverting to playing the hits.” – Spectrum Culture Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% EDIT “The movie finds surprising comfort in the unexpected, allowing for its imperfect cast of characters to bounce off one another without the pressure of explosive drama.” – Spectrum Culture Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% EDIT “Despite its harsh depictions of loss and persecution, Fastvold’s excellent, unusual biopic about this obscure religious figure is an aural and visual treat.” – Spectrum Culture Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 94% EDIT “The film acts not just as a recreation, but as a testament to Hind Rajab's existence. Too often, those that die in a military assault simply become numbers or statistics, but they have names, and voices, too.” – Spectrum Culture Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Man Finds Tape (2025) 83% EDIT “The narrative is simply too convenient and far-fetched to be either genuinely scary or compelling. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 90% EDIT “Subverting the genre of true crime, Zodiac Killer Project comes to represent much more than the sum of its arguably used-up parts. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Rebuilding (2025) 91% EDIT “Walker-Silverman’s intentional lack of stylistic flourish both defines Rebuilding’s approach and keeps it consistently in the minor key. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 87% EDIT “Bugonia is a tense, pressure-cooker scenario that grows increasingly twisted and absurd, harboring a tonal balance that’s difficult to pull off—but for Lanthimos, it seems easy, maybe even a bit routine. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 24, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% EDIT “The core pleasure of Kelly Reichardt’s new slow heist film The Mastermind is in its innumerable, lovingly crafted details. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “If The Black Phone traded heavily in ‘70s stylistic motifs, then its supernatural sequel is purely ‘80s in its conception. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% EDIT “Urchin is an intelligent, complicated and admirably unfiltered debut borne of Dickinson’s own honest observations and experiences doing social work for unhoused individuals. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 66% EDIT “Syrupy and sentimental, Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut proves unable to identify the most interesting aspects of its own premise, or even acknowledge the moral quandary at its center. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Chain Reactions (2024) 98% EDIT “Phillipe has constructed a smart, incisive dissertation that convincingly argues for the movie’s placement amongst the great pantheon of films about American life. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 24, 2025 Full Review
