zi (2026) 69% 6/10 EDIT “It’s as much a wish as a prophecy and the spontaneity of that uncertainty is the point. While its empathetic performances and authentic mystique are undeniable, your enjoyment of the finished product will surely vary.” – Jaredmobarak.com Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 98% 9/10 EDIT “That’s the undeniable strength of the storytelling in Josephine. Its ability to keep us as on edge as Damien and Claire. Because no one knows how Josephine will respond—what she will say or do before earning a response that teaches her it wasn’t correct.” – Jaredmobarak.com Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Chasing Summer (2026) 65% 8/10 EDIT “Every laugh has purpose within a relationship, lesson, impulse, or revelation. It’s not about Jamie finding all the answers. It’s about finally understanding what questions to ask.” – Jaredmobarak.com Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 77% 6/10 EDIT “Maybe you won’t vibe with how its delivered via a slow-moving ghost thriller marked by bursts of monster gore, but you must appreciate the historical significance of its overall messaging.” – Jaredmobarak.com Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% 7/10 EDIT “The effects team truly earned that Oscar nomination because fire is generally the least believable of all computer manipulations and it looked pretty darn flawless here.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 30, 2026 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 37% 7/10 EDIT “It lives in an A Life Less Ordinary vein seen through a "Pushing Daisies" filter and that description of its tragically whimsical aesthetic is pretty much my ideal for romance when it comes to pop culture’s willingness to take a swing.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) 72% 7/10 EDIT “The real meat is giving [the kids] the room to figure out their place in this nightmare they were born into. How they respond, rebel, and evolve to take back control of their own narrative is inspiring and necessary.” – Jaredmobarak.com Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Hot Water (2026) 92% 7/10 EDIT “The film is therefore also about second chances. It leads to many dramatic moments that lean into their messiness because that’s life. Happiness isn’t a choice. It’s the result of hard work.” – Jaredmobarak.com Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 7/10 EDIT “Song Sung Blue‘s subjects are the perfect mix of second chance American Dreamers and soulfully genuine underdogs who own their flaws, fight to be better, and try to always put family first.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 23, 2026 Full Review 2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025) 94% 7/10 EDIT “It inevitably becomes a laundry list of the dead. Even so, it’s objectively important, will probably earn Chernov another Oscar, and stands as a reminder of Putin’s evil [and Ukraine's courage].” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 23, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 6/10 EDIT “The whole ultimately comes down to wishing we had hoods to blind our senses from reality like Mabel, but our brains sadly don't grant the same luxury.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Arco (2025) 92% 8/10 EDIT “The animation style is attractive, the environments intricately detailed, and the action energetic. I also really loved Arnaud Toulon’s score—always present yet never overpowering. It’s a crucial piece that augments the emotions carried by Fay and Valdi.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 23, 2026 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 6/10 EDIT “I was very impressed by Dwayne Johnson proving just as capable. Man, was he great. Justifiably yet mournfully tempestuous. Infectiously and inspirationally jubilant. He owns every single frame.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Yes, there are a lot of demonic earmarks from burning corpses to parasites and the unnatural, but there are just as many examples of love transcending reason too.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 8/10 EDIT “What was a cute premise about the act of helping curing the helper suddenly reveals the pain of silent manipulations. Before lying to alleviate your own frustration with a loved one's needs, try asking what it is they truly desire.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Alabama Solution (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “This is an impressive, powerful documentary born from hubris [that proves] "states’ rights" is merely a dogwhistle for "we should decide the legality of slavery ourselves."” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 7/10 EDIT “What I really enjoyed beyond the over-the-top gore and humor is the way in which this character complexity is handled. Carr and Hawkins each seek to play both sides and bridge the gap, but they chose [an irredeemable] third side to do so.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 7/10 EDIT “Never one to back down from a challenge, Kristen Stewart’s feature directorial debut is about as bold as one can get. The whole almost feels like a non-fiction essay at times—a collage of images tied together by emotion more than plot.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) 82% 8/10 EDIT “I'm too cynical to believe those who need it will watch, let alone have the humility to absorb it and recognize their place within. But it does reinforce what the rest of us know by confirming our refusal to ignore the truth is the best weapon we have.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 8/10 EDIT “Dan Trachtenberg isn't breathing new life into the Predator franchise. He's wielding what makes it great to breathe new life into a familiar genre trope.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 7/10 EDIT “I couldn’t quite vibe with the pacing or structure due to never quite knowing who was talking. But my God was this a gorgeous work of sensory cinema.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 6/10 EDIT “The teen sex comedy antics can’t help but feel weird nonetheless considering the subject matter. But a lot of what occurs is worthwhile. Especially the futility.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 7/10 EDIT “The drama is sound, the comedy softens its heavy emotions, Arnett gets to act, Dern is great, and Cooper brilliantly takes the piss out of himself to laugh at everyone who believes he directs solely to win a Best Actor Oscar.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 7/10 EDIT “Sometimes it's nice to just let the mythology behind a dystopia serve as a backdrop for a tale of brotherly love that reminds us empathy and camaraderie are the truest form of rebellion against an authoritarian regime.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% 4/10 EDIT “By the time a literal dumpster fire appeared, I wondered if someone was going to jump over a shark too. After all, the lesson here is that everyone who doesn’t become a martyr will eventually sell out.” – Hey, Have You Seen ...? Jan 9, 2026 Full Review
