A Private Life (2025) 81% EDIT “Rebecca Zlotowski's deliciously cerebral — albeit uneven — Parisian mystery film is primarily anchored by Jodie Foster's performance.” – Spectrum Culture Jan 20, 2026 Full Review La Grazia (2025) 81% EDIT “Paolo Sorrentino and Toni Servillo offer up a return to form for the Italian director-actor duo, albeit one that leans too heavily on sentimental endings and vague melancholy.” – Spectrum Culture Dec 10, 2025 Full Review A Savage Art: The Life & Cartoons of Pat Oliphant (2025) 83% EDIT “Bill Banowsky’s examination of Pat Oliphant is at its best when showcasing the art and work of its subject, but it lands on less even ground when attempting to make larger statements about the place of political cartooning as an art form. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Harvest (2024) 74% EDIT “While the plot is unwieldy at times, Harvest is nonetheless a film overflowing with ideas on the nature of property and class, alongside some of the most arresting visuals of Tsangari’s directorial career. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Sex (2024) 86% EDIT “Featuring more on-screen emotional rather than physical intimacy, Sex is plenty thoughtful and subtly provocative, offering a nuanced roadmap for trying to understand our own, often confusing, sexual desires. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 17, 2025 Full Review The Teacher (2023) 83% EDIT “While the film feels its length and some plot threads and characters are underwritten, Nabulsi nonetheless delivers with a work that straddles fiction and reality, capturing and affirming Palestinian life under occupation in the West Bank. ” – Spectrum Culture Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% EDIT “What does love look like in the age of mass surveillance, where everyone is already spying on each other? ” – Spectrum Culture Mar 14, 2025 Full Review No Other Land (2024) 100% EDIT “Intense and moving, No Other Land is a testament to the power of solidarity and friendship across borders and an expression of what is possible in a politically oriented cinematic work, the existence of which is an act of necessary bravery and courage. ” – Spectrum Culture Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Oh Canada (2024) 66% EDIT “Paul Schrader continues his run of exceptional, late-career cinema, with the added benefit of excellent performances from Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi and Uma Thurman. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% EDIT “Those willing to take the ride will find themselves charmed by the director’s expectedly keen eye for striking images and Daniel Craig’s off-kilter but ultimately moving performance as the infamous writer. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 97% EDIT “Diop’s film is filled with ideas about the significance and beauty of restitution, beautifully shot and scored with an enchanting soundscape. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% EDIT “Grating musical numbers, lackluster performances, and an incoherent plot make this baffling and bizarre entry into the Batman cinematic canon a tedious outing unable to embrace the weirdness of its own premise. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 4, 2024 Full Review All Shall Be Well (2024) 97% EDIT “A remarkable and dark family drama about a woman fighting against her in-laws for her apartment after the sudden death of her wife. All Shall Be Well is emotional and deftly rendered by Hong Kong director Ray Yeung. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 25, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% EDIT “Charming despite a baffling premise and underwritten plot that is desperately in need of a few more drafts. Maisy Stella holds her own while Audrey Plaza is unfortunately underutilized. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 13, 2024 Full Review It Ends With Us (2024) 55% EDIT “A baffling, overlong and tonally inconsistent exercise in tedium. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% EDIT “Sean Wang’s somewhat autobiographical tale is both clever and endearing, albeit a bit too interested in its own act of self-mythologizing. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Crossing (2024) 97% EDIT “With emotional plotting and terrific performances, this quiet and moving indie slowly reveals its scope, telling the story of a community fighting for its own survival in modern day Istanbul with emotional plotting and terrific performances. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024) 99% EDIT “A beautifully edited documentary on the films of Powell and Pressburger with lively commentary from Martin Scorsese, which often feels more like a film school lecture than a film in itself. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Aisha (2022) 98% EDIT “A touching film about human connection in inhumane times that, ironically, feels too detached to fully connect. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Solo (2023) 95% EDIT “A film that captures the Montreal drag scene with a palpable tenderness. A dry, formulaic plot is saved by steady direction, great performances and some impressive dance numbers. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Banel & Adama (2023) 95% EDIT “A poetic and beautifully shot film about obsessive love and the trouble that often comes from getting what you want, at any cost. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 9, 2024 Full Review
