Addition (2024) 3/5 EDIT “It is, I think, sensitively done, and the comedic writing, the 'com' of the rom-com, doesn't belittle Grace or her condition.” – Inner East Review Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “Safdie gives us pace, pace, pace, like we're just trying to keep up with Marty's always-be-grifting, and it is all carried along with an ever-changing anachronistic score from composer Daniel Lopatin.” – Inner East Review Jan 26, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “There's a certain silliness to the film, plenty of stagey slapstick alongside the blood and killing, but there's also a sharp wit to the evisceration the film gives to the hollowness of corporate ambition.” – Inner East Review Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Michod and his production team do solid work, but all of the attention is deservedly focused on these two performances, with few distractions.” – Inner East Review Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The screenplay, by Hikari and Stephen Blahut, isn't groundbreaking stuff and stops just short of being too treacly-sweet, but also manages to be quite profound.” – Inner East Review Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “James Cameron's latest opus is filled with such imagination and wonder, such passion for filmmaking and storytelling, that it is worth the three-plus hours of your time and the $20-plus of your money. ” – Inner East Review Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Family McMullen (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Just like the 1995 film it is sequel to, The Family McMullen is light-on but charming and harmless viewing.” – Inner East Review Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Twiggy (2024) 100% 3/5 EDIT “While there are no teeth to this lolly of a documentary, it is sweet nonetheless.” – Inner East Review Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Technically, the film is a peach, with crisp cinematography by Christopher Ross of the Finnish landscapes standing in for remote Minnesota.” – Inner East Review Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “It's impossible to watch this extended single-take and not feel the loss, and not feel immersed in the tragedy.” – Inner East Review Nov 22, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 91% EDIT “The laughs, and I did laugh a bunch, are the hysterical laughs that come with complete exhaustion and desperation.” – Inner East Review Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi might be aided heavily by GCI and makeup as the Yautja creature, but those artists need something to build on and his performance is a very strong scaffolding.” – Inner East Review Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Happyend (2024) 98% 4/5 EDIT “The performances are strong, or at least neutral, real teenagers, of course, don't want to show any emotion where they don't need to, lest they give away something about their internal monologue.” – Inner East Review Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 5/5 EDIT “Del Toro's vision for the film, which comes with Netflix money to bring it all together, is exquisite and feels informed solely by Mary Shelley's descriptions and not by the century of previous interpretations.” – Inner East Review Oct 27, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 3/5 EDIT “Performances were as fine as the writing might allow, with Jared Leto doing his best to flutter his long eyelashes to emote through his CGI costume.” – Inner East Review Oct 15, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 4/5 EDIT “Tipping co-wrote the screenplay with Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, and they construct quite a well-thought-out imagining of the football world, which we all know to be cultish, but the screenwriters push further into occultish.” – Inner East Review Oct 3, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 37% 1/5 EDIT “The film does look beautiful, as do its stars, but there's not enough going on inside.” – Inner East Review Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Filmmaker Francis Lawrence keeps to that pace, or at least allows the pace the film's characters are forced to march at set an editing tempo, and the film maintains its momentum consistently.” – Inner East Review Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 3/5 EDIT “Director Michael Chaves has been hiding his craft as scare-meister and I found his work very effective, which is to say my skin turned to gooseflesh a dozen times through the film and picked my feet up onto my cinema seat twice.” – Inner East Review Sep 5, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% 3/5 EDIT “The screenplay is pure nonsense, but its non-sequiturs, puns and Troma film in-jokes are fun because Blair embraces the bad of it all.” – Inner East Review Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% 4/5 EDIT “Cinematically, it's beautiful, muted in its New Mexico landscapes and with a dust-covered lustre to its art design that doesn't go full-on Wes Anderson, but isn't quite authentic either.” – Inner East Review Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 4/5 EDIT “The filmmakers take everything that was fun about the first film and get just give us a bunch more of that.” – Inner East Review Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Bride Hard (2025) 14% 2/5 EDIT “The film's writing lets it down, with first time at the plate Shaina Steinberg's script just not being consistent with its characters or letting them exist for single jokes.” – Inner East Review Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Bambi: The Reckoning (2025) 63% 3/5 EDIT “The film's technical team is a small crew, the end credits were mercifully short, but they achieve good believable work with their CGI, keeping their scenes dark, only revealing the horror creatures when they need to.” – Inner East Review Jul 29, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% 3/5 EDIT “The best parts of this film, in fact, are the moments of fandom to the original, especially Freddie Prinze Jr coming out of retirement to bring back his original character Ray Bronson.” – Inner East Review Jul 21, 2025 Full Review
