undertone (2025) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “Some will argue that all of the themes of "undertone" don’t connect, but that’s a feature, not a bug. This is a film that doesn’t feel the need to explain itself. Nightmares rarely do.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) 3/4 EDIT “It seeks to raise awareness and spark conversation more than to draw conclusions. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 75% EDIT “The two halves of this film never cohere into a satisfying whole as Vera Miao can’t figure out how to make us interested in this traumatized family that’s never developed into something that feels three-dimensional.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Saccharine (2026) 76% EDIT “It has strong visuals and interesting ideas but too little idea how to tie them together before it explodes in a final act filled with mixed messages that could be read as downright fatphobic. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review The Best Summer (2026) EDIT “It’s an effective reminder of when tours like this felt less corporate and more driven by artistic expression.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review All About the Money (2026) EDIT “I can imagine reading a longform article about Chambers to be of interest, spending this much time with him feels fruitless, leading to a film that doesn’t have enough to say beyond profiling someone who loves to be profiled.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Hanging by a Wire (2026) 91% EDIT “Despite the sense that ‘Hanging by a Wire’ s a bit too clean … the end result is undeniably moving, especially when the survivors and their fathers talk about that unforgettable da” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Closure (2026) EDIT “A moving story of how grief and love can harden into determination.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2026 Full Review See You When I See You (2026) 72% EDIT “There are a few too many times when it feels like an element of Cayton-Holland’s book that probably had pages to develop—like the bird subplot or even the cancer one—just doesn’t have enough room to breathe on the big screen.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 31, 2026 Full Review The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) 100% EDIT “The unimpeachable cast holds it aloft every time it threatens to sink into the mud of cliché.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 31, 2026 Full Review The Weight (2026) 95% EDIT “There are some camera choices that could hamper complete enjoyment by all—including a late-movie fight that’s shot far too close—but the last ten minutes of "The Weight" are as satisfying as anything you’re likely to see this year.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 31, 2026 Full Review The Musical (2026) 57% EDIT “It’s a bitter comedy that has one idea and doesn’t even explore that well. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 100% EDIT “While 'Union County’ might not add enough new to the conversation to make it really stand out, it does remind us of the humanity that should really be all that matters.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 98% EDIT “There are some images in "Josephine" that are hard to watch, but it also contains some ambitious, graceful, humanist filmmaking, a true merging of storytelling and the visual medium of film. After all, sometimes words aren’t enough.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 29, 2026 Full Review In the Blink of an Eye (2026) 18% 2/4 EDIT “As it is, it feels too disposable for a film that, at least on some level, is trying to be about all of human history and the future of the species. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Hot Water (2026) 92% EDIT “There’s a tenderness to "Hot Water" that’s admirable … but too much of what could feel true about this dramedy feels punctured by manufactured beats that telegraph and underline feelings. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 73% EDIT “Chris Pine is so good that he makes the film worth seeing. I just wish the ride was a bit smoother overall.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story (2026) 100% EDIT “While the film about her sometimes feels a bit bio-doc generic ... and runs about 15-20 minutes too long, her story is clearly one that more people need to hear—people who love comedy and people who are struggling to maintain their own stability.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) 91% EDIT “'The Incomer’ can verge on being overly quirky, but Rankin, O’Rourke, and Gleeson make such smart choices throughout, not just in comic timing but in the traps they avoid.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 86% EDIT “At a certain point, it feels like 'I Want Your Sex' is about to get a bit sharper teeth, but it’s consistently funny, along with being a further reminder that Cooper Hoffman can do just about anything.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Seeds (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Moments have a tactile intimacy that’s incredibly powerful, placing these ordinary people in an almost timeless continuum of seemingly ordinary behavior that becomes extraordinary in memory, or through the eyes of a camera.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/4 EDIT “It's a testament to Joe Carnahan’s direction that there’s not a false note in this talented ensemble. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “Great sequels don’t just repeat; they build. This one treads beautifully rendered water.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Influencers (2025) 96% 3/4 EDIT “It is a more vicious, targeted film than the original, but it also has a stunning streak of truly dark humor that’s almost Coen-esque in its slapstick bloodshed. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s a movie that would work today, which is not something that can be said about many movies from the creatively dark section of the mid-’80s. ” – HollywoodChicago.com Dec 8, 2025 Full Review
