The Drama (2026) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Yet while the filmmaker’s latest lacks the same withering and ultimately mournful power as his feature debut, 2022’s shattering Sick of Myself, it also proves to be far more interesting than his hit-and-miss 2023 film Dream Scenario. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Chili Finger (2026) C+ EDIT “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. ” – IndieWire Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Touch Me (2025) 86% D- EDIT “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. ” – IndieWire Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Phoenix Jones: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Superhero (2026) EDIT “Aware of the fact that his often unreliable subject may be spinning a story even while we’re watching him, Joonam makes this part of the experience, calling attention to how Fodor is trying to make a new mythology for himself.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review The Life We Leave (2026) EDIT “A film about life and death, just as it is also the business of dying, J.J. Gerber’s The Life We Leave is a refreshing, joyous gem of a documentary that also doesn’t shy away from the pain of loss. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review #Skyking (2026) EDIT “Save for a more misguided musical choice near the end that sees the film falling prey to the online mythologizing that still surrounds the incident, it mostly manages to delve deeper into what happened and what it means all these years later. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Capturing Bigfoot (2026) EDIT “Packed full of more unexpected revelations about the potential origins of the towering hairy creature while never losing sight of the human beings stuck in its shadow, it’s an incisive work.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review And Her Body Was Never Found (2026) EDIT “Without tipping anything off, this is a scrappy little film of surprising layers that becomes uniquely unsettling as it begins peeling them all back. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Power Ballad (2026) 96% C- EDIT “Like Paul’s wedding band, Carney’s film seems ultimately not only content to play the hits safely, but also fearful of doing much of anything new while it still has the stage.” – The Playlist Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 71% C+ EDIT “Best of luck to the unhappy couple, who remain a messy riot and fun when they’re just left to their own devices, but the rest of the film around them still leaves much to be desired.” – The Playlist Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Pretty Lethal (2026) 56% C- EDIT “"Pretty Lethal," an occasionally fun though mostly forgettable action thriller about ballet and bloody violence, is a film that’s almost entirely defined by missed opportunities.” – The Playlist Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Kokuho (2025) 94% EDIT “While many key scenes linger in the mind — be it in a final poetic performance that mirrors the devastating opening — many also fade away as we hurry to the next development.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review The Singers (2026) 90% EDIT “Full of genuinely great singing and performances across the board, it’s a mirthful, melancholic and moving musical of sorts that’s all wonderfully shot by Davis. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review The Devil Is Busy (2024) EDIT “It incisively uncovers both the grim realities of an America in decline just as it does the grace of the people protecting their patients’ rights.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Retirement Plan (2024) EDIT “Sharing all his plans, big and small, this lovingly animated film becomes an existential reflection on the quiet poetry of life itself (and a reminder that you should have a trip sitter when trying drugs).” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Perfectly a Strangeness (2024) EDIT “Following three donkeys who encounter an abandoned astronomical observatory, it’s a deceptively captivating documentary with no dialogue that still speaks to something breathtaking and true about our place in the universe.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Butcher's Stain (2025) EDIT “As Samir tries to prove his innocence, this restrained, riveting short effectively captures the demoralizing reality of how, even when you have the truth on your side, it may not matter.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Butterfly (2024) EDIT “Ephemeral yet profoundly, emotionally moving, it’s a work where the swirling animation — with one color bleeding into the next — and superb sound design make it feel like you’re immersed underwater.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 63% 8/10 EDIT “Kirill Sokolov’s terrific They Will Kill You, a modern action gem whose stellar fight sequences are brought to life with kinetic stunt performances and captivating camerawork, is the year’s best action discovery thus far.” – IGN Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Wishful Thinking (2026) 100% A- EDIT “It’s a riot of a romantic dramedy with love, its pain, pleasures, and perils, all at the front of mind as it manifests (literally) the ways all the tumultuous emotions of one of life’s greatest joys can impact the way you experience the world. ” – The Playlist Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 96% EDIT “It’s not only properly unsettling, making great use of darkness and sound, but also becomes a quietly poetic reflection on loss when you least expect it.” – TheWrap Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% C EDIT “All you’re left with is the echo of what was better before. You watch only able to wish Weaving was given more to work with than this, or, at the very least, greater room for her iconic scream to rattle you once more.” – IndieWire Mar 14, 2026 Full Review I Love Boosters (2026) 97% EDIT “Riley, proving himself to be a romantic just as he is a believer in revolution, clearly not only loves these boosters with hearts of gold, but anyone that is trying to make it all work for themselves and those around them.” – TheWrap Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% EDIT “While neither Tommy nor the film itself was ever likely to be immortal, the closing frames prove to be a fitting sendoff for him as well as his long, sad saga. For what could very well be the last time, he and Murphy burn bright. ” – TheWrap Mar 5, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 94% EDIT “Rather than fall prey to the perils of being overly dramatic, Hania uses the tools of drama to explore the feelings of frustration and fear that mere headlines about this day could never begin to capture. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Feb 13, 2026 Full Review
