Bedford Park (2026) 95% 6/10 EDIT “While Bedford Park has some genuinely brilliant ideas, particularly around what we owe our parents as the children of immigrants, the result is a slightly overpredictable and shallow movie. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Union County‘s meditative look at the American opioid crisis has a lot on its mind. Meeks does his best to capture Americana while giving Union County a rust-belt visual palette.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) 90% 7/10 EDIT “One part Save the Last Dance and one part Cuban Fury, there’s plenty of great comedy to make this a genuinely good time. Wladyka shows off some genuinely great direction, and Kikuchi brings it home with a heartfelt performance” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review When a Witness Recants (2026) 8/10 EDIT “When a Witness Recants is an early contender for the best documentary of 2026. It’s brimming with emotion, and Porter’s storytelling has rarely been this good. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Time and Water (2026) 91% 6/10 EDIT “Time and Water is a prescient, emotional showcase about climate change's effects on our world, most notably in the glaciers of Iceland. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 75% 5/10 EDIT “Despite an incredible second act of the film, Rock Springs struggles with the horror elements. It's not scary, but the mixed metaphors are particularly ineffective.” – FandomWire Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 73% 4/10 EDIT “Chris Pine and Jenny Slate come to play, but Carousel does not work as a rom-com or relationship drama. It runs into far too many tropes to feel like a comedy of note.” – FandomWire Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 69% 7/10 EDIT “Iliza Shlesinger and Josephine Decker combine their styles to create a fun comedy. It is daring, both in its depiction of sex and in navigating love in the modern era. ” – FandomWire Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Troublemaker (2026) 6/10 EDIT “While Troublemaker has flaws, it’s a well-made documentary. We’d love to see more exploration into Mandela behind closed doors, and there are a few moments that Fuqua skirts around the issues.” – FandomWire Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 98% 9/10 EDIT “Josephine is one of the first great movies of 2026. It is a dark film with heavy subject matter and questions to pose to parents. However, it’s also incredibly well-made and features an impeccable child performance.” – FandomWire Jan 31, 2026 Full Review The Lake (2026) 8/10 EDIT “Ellis crafts a film that adds to the urgency of the moment and, for once, provides hope that we can make a change before it's too late.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Soul Patrol (2026) 100% 6/10 EDIT “The stories they tell are essential to understanding how war affected those men in the 1970s. With intriguing discourse and plenty of emotion, Soul Patrol is still worthy of your time.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “With an incredible Inuit-inspired score and plenty of great images, Nuisance Bear sneaks up on the audience. It’s a compelling experience that needs to be seen. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Buddy (2026) 81% 8/10 EDIT “While Buddy might not be for everyone, it’s a fun and weird horror experience you’re unlikely to forget. Featuring great performances and visuals, Kelly continues to build his brand as an absurdist horror filmmaker.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The Disciple (2026) 7/10 EDIT “The Disciple suffers from too much tell and not enough show. The result is a film that feels like it’s missing something, even if it’s an extremely fun ride.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Once Upon a Time in Harlem is a masterful documentary and historical document. It is one that everyone will benefit from experiencing.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Seized (2026) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Seized might not be the most world-changing documentary, but it is an incredibly rich topic. Understanding the role of the media in our local communities remains essential.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Leviticus (2026) 94% 6/10 EDIT “Bird’s performance alone is worth watching, and there are some genuinely incredible moments exploring life in a fundamentalist religious movement.” – FandomWire Jan 28, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 87% 8/10 EDIT “undertone is a thrilling experience that pushes the limits of sound design in the genre. Combined with intriguing Catholic themes and good performances, the horror film will stick with you.” – FandomWire Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) 100% 9/10 EDIT “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is the ultimate crime comedy about a city in transition, while letting Turturro deliver one of the best performances of his career.” – FandomWire Jan 28, 2026 Full Review TheyDream (2026) A EDIT “We believe that hiding parts of ourselves from our loved ones will cascade them away, but the truth is, we can never know unless we put ourselves in the position to ask” – InSession Film Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Barbara Forever (2026) 100% B- EDIT “’Connor handles the filmmaker’s legacy with care, resulting in a sprawling vision of queer art for over forty years. That alone makes Barbara Forever a must-watch for film historians.” – InSession Film Jan 26, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 76% 8/10 EDIT “Led by dynamic turns from Emily Bader and Tom Blyth, the Emily Henry adaptation is among the very best rom-coms that Netflix has ever released. ” – Sunshine State Cineplex Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 8/10 EDIT “It’s one of the few films that has really come close to evoking the insanity of 1970s cinema in some time.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 4/10 EDIT “While there’s a beautiful message about taking a chance on yourself, it’s ultimately a rather threadbare story that does not challenge its characters after the first thirty minutes.” – Sunshine State Cineplex Dec 26, 2025 Full Review
