The Rip (2026) 79% EDIT “Nothing makes much sense to begin with. Every plot detail feels like a balloon drifting ever so slowly into the air, waiting for a character to grab the string and yank the story balloon back down to reiterate it.” – Salon.com Jan 26, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% EDIT “Once one gets past the initial shock, awe and envy of seeing Foster in her first French-speaking leading role, it’s easy to be swept away by the veteran actor’s exquisite, fluent mastery of the language.” – Salon.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “"Goodbye June” is far from a catastrophe, but it’s perhaps a greater sin that the film would be far more interesting if it were.” – Salon.com Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT ““The Chronology of Water” feels like the natural next step [for Kristen Stewart]: a film that refuses to dull its bite and forces the viewer into its abrasive tone, confident that they’ll grow accustomed to its rhythm. ” – Salon.com Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% EDIT “As a film, Mona Fastvold’s magnificent religious epic, “The Testament of Ann Lee,” is the finest piece of cinema this year -- a startling and clear-headed work of genius, led by a remarkable Amanda Seyfried in the film’s titular role. ” – Salon.com Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% EDIT “For Marty and his namesake film, perfection is not attainable. But sometimes, its pursuit delivers something even more interesting and memorable than a banal picture of perfection: someone to root for, flaws and all.” – Salon.com Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 35% EDIT ““Oh. What. Fun.” may not be a perfect film, but it’s just right for anyone who turns into a needy terror around the holidays, whether they realize it or not.” – Salon.com Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT ““Eternity” understands the desperation for a modicum of autonomy in this world, yet cleverly reminds viewers that having a choice doesn’t necessarily make life any easier.” – Salon.com Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “In “Hamlet,” there is tragedy, yes, but there is also comedy, action, betrayal and a sense of the divine. The absence of those elements here makes “Hamnet” simply derivative.” – Salon.com Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “Trier’s film overflows with the kind of genuinely impactful potential that we go to the movies for, the type that leaves us feeling understood more than it makes us feel good.” – Salon.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “By stretching this story to its absolute limits and removing its darkest components, there is no rousing plume of rage to compel the viewer. There is only emptiness: a hollow space where a heart should be, ready to be filled with cold, hard cash.” – Salon.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% EDIT “Put into the same boxing ring to duke it out, the movie’s unintentional silliness easily KO’s its blips of emotional gravity. But it’s not just that the script is formulaic but that its star doesn’t carry the same conviction as the film’s subject.” – Salon.com Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “No one burns as brightly as Lawrence. Left to her own devices by a pandering script, she alone draws the line where loneliness ends and freedom begins, keeping “Die My Love” from plunging completely into its self-made inferno.” – Salon.com Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Arco (2025) 92% EDIT ““Arco” will entrance kids and pre-teen viewers with its just-crude-enough animation style, providing the film with a taste of scrappy ’70s psychedelia and distinctly French character illustration.” – Salon.com Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% EDIT ““Little Amélie” employs swaths of eye-popping color, broad shapes and thoughtfully rendered two-dimensional art style and camera movements to bewitch slightly younger viewers.” – Salon.com Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% EDIT “Perhaps this nihilism will prove too trenchant and reactive for some viewers. That’s perfectly fine: Sometimes it feels good to scream for help, even if it will never come. ” – Salon.com Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost (2025) 93% EDIT “ This may be a personal story of love and loss, but in an age when self-importance drives isolation, it’s wonderful and even edifying to see how Jerry and Anne found ways to practice compromise in their relationship.” – Salon.com Oct 22, 2025 Full Review John Candy: I Like Me (2025) 89% EDIT “Candy’s pursuit of goodness comes up repeatedly throughout “I Like Me,” to the point where a viewer can understand that, even amongst all of life’s pressures and its difficulties, it’s easy to live with integrity if you keep it by your side at all times.” – Salon.com Oct 15, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 91% EDIT “Only a film this forthright can have such power. Bronstein and Byrne’s dual honesty is as affecting as it gets. ” – Salon.com Oct 10, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “Park’s graphic elegance may be at odds with the awkward, idle indignities depicted onscreen, but the discrepancy between the two generates an edge-of-your-seat tension. What will happen next, and how will it look?” – Salon.com Oct 7, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “There’s nothing here that the viewer can’t glean from the documentary, and in fact, the doc is a far more edifying and affecting work than Safdie’s stylish regurgitation.” – Salon.com Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “It’s rare to watch an actor contend with their decisions so forthrightly, to admit to and accept the fact that they’ve let themselves be subsumed by stardom. ” – Salon.com Oct 3, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “Replete with fury-charged performances and sprinkled with obsidian comedy, Anderson strikes a keen balance between tones that ring all too familiar.” – Salon.com Sep 30, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% EDIT “In Withers, “HIM” finds a star more than capable of holding a just-fine movie on his rippling shoulders, making it look better by association. He’s a joy to watch, charming and appropriately intense when the material calls for it.” – Salon.com Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Canceled: The Paula Deen Story (2025) EDIT “The film does pose important questions about just how far social media takedowns and cultural perception have changed in the 10-plus years since Deen’s quote-unquote cancellation. ” – Salon.com Sep 11, 2025 Full Review
