In the Blink of an Eye (2026) 18% 4/10 EDIT “For a film about disaster and how we deal with it, there is something tragic about how In the Blink of an Eye becomes such a frequently disastrous disappointment of its own making. ” – IGN Movies Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild] (2026) B+ EDIT “Piece by piece, the film becomes a portrait of quiet, ordinary courage, just as it doesn’t shy away from pondering why the dedication and years of fighting an uphill battle like this were required in the first place. ” – The Playlist Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Filipiñana (2026) EDIT “Both everything and nothing happens in "Filipiñana," the cutting, confident, and ultimately formally captivating feature debut from writer-director Rafael Manuel.” – TheWrap Jan 30, 2026 Full Review If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) 100% EDIT “It’s a film that, even when the end stumbles ever so slightly and steps away from its greatest strength in star Danielle Brooks, proves to be a vibrant vision of a family trying to find their way through the world.” – TheWrap Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The Weight (2026) 95% EDIT “Throughout it all, Hawke is mesmerizing. The action scenes are tense and well-executed, though it’s the way he grounds it that makes you feel every setback. ” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review See You When I See You (2026) 72% EDIT “There is a tension that comes from the humor clashing with the tragedy, but it’s a worthwhile one. Life is full of sudden loss and then also ridiculously funny moments. Capturing that authentically is no small feat, but Duplass does so with delicate care.” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) 100% EDIT “Noah Segan’s "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York" is a film of rich pleasures, just as its protagonist is struggling to find any riches of his own.” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Antiheroine (2026) EDIT “It’s a candid, compassionate and comprehensive portrait that, while somewhat standardly constructed, taps into something much more incisive than is common for this type of work. ” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Ghost in the Machine (2026) 90% EDIT “Valerie Veatch’s blistering "Ghost in the Machine" is a radical, necessary Molotov cocktail of a documentary that’s being thrown right into the heart of our nonsense, nightmarish world of overinflated AI hype. ” – TheWrap Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 65% EDIT “Though there are flashes of more chaotic comedy that get the pulse racing here and there, for the most part "Chasing Summer" is a surprisingly safe genre riff.” – TheWrap Jan 27, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 87% EDIT “Most podcasts remain disposable, yet this film about a truly cursed one captures not just the evil that may lurk within them, but wields a sonic power that, for the brave, is one you’ll want to listen back to.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 100% EDIT “At every turn, the film earns every emotional, lived-in development, instilling this slice-of-life portrait with such a quiet humanity that it can feel like you’re sitting at the tables and in the meeting rooms along with all the characters.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Musical (2026) 57% EDIT “That this is Bonilla’s feature directorial debut makes one only hope she keeps making comedies like this, as every escalation, cutaway, and lighting cue is perfectly executed. Doug may be a terrible director, but she proves to be a great one. ” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review zi (2026) 69% EDIT “As shot by his frequent collaborator, the cinematographer Benjamin Loeb, and cut together by Kogonada himself, "Zi" blurs the lines between tone poem and hangout movie, letting both merge together to become something unexpectedly moving.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Buddy (2026) 81% EDIT “Each time you think you’re seeing the daylight of something potentially better to explore on the horizon, "Buddy" keeps dragging you back into the banal darkness. Like the kids, you deserve far better than whatever this lackluster production amounts to.” – TheWrap Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Leviticus (2026) 94% EDIT “Chiarella’s film is small in scope but shattering in emotional range, slowly burrowing under your skin. Once it makes its home there, there is no shaking free of its haunting, heartbreaking and surprisingly harmonious vision. ” – TheWrap Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 62% EDIT “It’s honest about the deception that is inherent to celebrity, confronting us with one compromise after another, building to a pitch-perfect finale needle-drop over a captivating monologue that elevates the comedy into a work of grand, messy ambition.” – TheWrap Jan 24, 2026 Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 86% EDIT “Even as the structure of the story creates a sense of inevitability to everything that can undercut the fun of seeing it fall apart, the often campy and heightened way each scene plays out means you’re always drawn in by something. ” – TheWrap Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Saccharine (2026) 76% EDIT “"Saccharine" is not a film that goes down easy, but you may just find yourself hungering to return for a second course to get a better sense of what James is serving up. ” – TheWrap Jan 23, 2026 Full Review The History of Concrete (2026) 100% EDIT “Though an extension of the same tone that was experienced in his HBO series, this feature is more than just one very long episode of his show. Instead, it’s like Wilson has fully become a funnier, more frenetic version of Frederick Wiseman.” – TheWrap Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 73% EDIT “With "Carousel," Lambert’s new romantic drama starring the excellent duo of Chris Pine and Jenny Slate, she strikes gold yet again. ” – TheWrap Jan 23, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “It’s arresting cinema and a truly one-of-a-kind look at history that, sadly, despite all the film has going for it, feels like it hasn’t gotten its proper moment in the sun in the way it should have. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 3/4 EDIT “When [Fiennes] gets a showstopper of a final number, it very nearly blows the roof off the entire film. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “What do you get if you take The Wizard of Oz, strip it of all its vibrant color, and then pretend this is something that actually makes it feel "grounded" in reality? Well, you’ve got the woefully wearisome Wicked: For Good. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review War of the Worlds (2025) 4% EDIT “Where other films built around screens like Searching and Missing were able to make what could be a bit of gimmick work, War of the Worlds is just a dull disaster from start to finish. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review
