A Little Prayer (2023) 94% EDIT “A Little Prayer is most effective when it explores family connection through what is left unsaid. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 2, 2025 Full Review To a Land Unknown (2024) 98% EDIT “To a Land Unknown is a familiar crime story, but its cultural and historical background frames the characters in a remarkable amount of complexity. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% EDIT “In their feature-film debut, Eva Victor balances pain, struggle, absurdity and joy to powerfully portray the years following a traumatic event. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Julie Keeps Quiet (2024) 93% EDIT “Van Dijl’s film effectively centers its story of alleged abuse on the survivor, offering a glimpse into a journey into regaining one’s voice. ” – Spectrum Culture Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) 86% EDIT “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie struggles to juggle the rapid-fire cartoon humor emblematic of its predecessors with a singular narrative that ties the jokes together. ” – Spectrum Culture Mar 17, 2025 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 80% EDIT “While The Room Next Door may overexplain its characters, Swinton and Moore’s performances demonstrate enough restraint for the film to remain compelling. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% EDIT “Through its stunning performances, Hard Truths explores the limits of compassion and empathy, as well as what pushes us to hurt one another. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 11, 2024 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% EDIT “The Seed of the Sacred Fig has a promising start, but it removes all subtlety by focusing its attention on thematic statements over character motivations. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Black Box Diaries (2024) 99% EDIT “Black Box Diaries chronicles a moving story of perseverance against a legal system that often silences survivors of sexual assault. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 29, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% EDIT “Despite the obvious passion behind The Substance’s visual palette, the film’s screenplay holds it back from saying anything meaningful. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Only the River Flows (2023) 85% EDIT “Only the River Flows enriches what could have been a run-of-the-mill neo-noir with pitch-black humor and a disregard for linear narrative and concrete resolution. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% EDIT “Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness combines the old and the new, marking a return to his sadistic roots while incorporating the talents of a star-studded cast. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Ghostlight (2024) 99% EDIT “O’Sullivan and Thompson’s second feature can be predictable, but its ideas on cooperation, kindness and forgiveness hold undeniable power. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 17, 2024 Full Review I Used to be Funny (2023) 83% EDIT “I Used to Be Funny’s unconventional narrative structure is more manipulative than smart, disrupting the film’s strong ideas on trauma and the healing process. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 10, 2024 Full Review The Dead Don't Hurt (2023) 86% EDIT “While The Dead Don’t Hurt thankfully doesn’t fall in line structurally with the middle-of-the-road revenge Western, most of the ambitious swings are unsuccessful and result in a piece that only garners moderate interest. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 4, 2024 Full Review In Our Day (2023) 100% EDIT “While In Our Day spends its runtime meandering through the mundanity of life, its simple revelations may be profound in times of uncertainty. ” – Spectrum Culture May 21, 2024 Full Review Gasoline Rainbow (2023) 93% EDIT “While Gasoline Rainbow’s unique production process certainly has interesting qualities, it results in plot contrivances that blunt the film’s emotional impact. ” – Spectrum Culture May 10, 2024 Full Review Evil Does Not Exist (2023) 91% EDIT “While much shorter than his previous effort, Drive My Car, Hamaguchi’s latest doesn’t relinquish any of the complexity. ” – Spectrum Culture May 6, 2024 Full Review The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed (2023) 87% EDIT “While Arnow’s deadpan humor may not be for everyone, her film has a welcome amount of sensitivity at its core. ” – Spectrum Culture May 1, 2024 Full Review One Life (2023) 91% EDIT “Despite Johnny Flynn and Anthony Hopkins’ stellar performances, One Life fails to capture who its central character is and what motivates him. ” – Spectrum Culture Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Ferrari (2023) 73% EDIT “In Enzo Ferrari, Michael Mann mythologizes his most driven and destructive protagonist yet. ” – Spectrum Culture Jan 8, 2024 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% EDIT “In The Boy and the Heron, Hayao Miyazaki takes his darkest turn yet but still manages to see the beauty of the present and the promise of the future. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 11, 2023 Full Review Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros (2023) 100% EDIT “A fascinating film on the inner workings of a restaurant that encourages audiences to think not only about the end product but the continuous evolution of how dishes are put together over a span of decades. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose (2023) 44% EDIT “Writer-director Adam Sigal’s inconsistent tone and tendency to spell out every thematic idea for the audience ultimately results in an unsatisfactory film. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Fremont (2023) 98% EDIT “Although small in scope, Fremont uncovers larger feelings of remorse and longing that remain true to life. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 28, 2023 Full Review
