Bedford Park (2026) 95% 5.5/10 EDIT “On paper, Bedford Park is the quintessential Sundance film: a small, thoughtful tale of two people working through their loneliness and pasts with each other’s help.” – Under the Radar Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) 72% 5.5/10 EDIT “While NB Mager’s thoughtful and sobering Run Amok certainly benefits from its expanded 103-minute runtime, it does get bogged down by an overwhelming number of themes, particularly in its second half.” – Under the Radar Jan 31, 2026 Full Review The Last First: Winter K2 (2026) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Incredible shots in a mountaineering documentary are far from uncommon, but they’re certainly a plus in a film that’s hoping to showcase just how hard summiting K2 in any season is, let alone winter.” – Under the Radar Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Depeche Mode: M (2025) 7/10 EDIT “For Depeche Mode fans, synth-pop fans, and music fans alike, you’ll find a lot to love here (regardless of how familiar you are with the band and/or their latest album).” – Under the Radar Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) 94% 8/10 EDIT “Gianfranco Rosi’s filmmaking style feels like that of the future, a revolutionary storytelling style that truly breathes life into a style that could use some of it.” – Under the Radar Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Late Fame (2026) 85% 5/10 EDIT “Perhaps the film would work better if it were a bit longer than 96 minutes, allowing more time to flesh out these characters or to stay longer with the ones who matter most.” – Under the Radar Oct 6, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4/10 EDIT “It’s a hollow tale that so desperately wants you to take it seriously; what it lacks in substance it hopes to make up for in stylistic sophistication. Unfortunately, there’s not much of that on display either.” – Under the Radar Oct 6, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 8/10 EDIT “Because the pacing and narrative styles are so dynamic, The Secret Agent never feels aligned with a single genre in particular.” – Under the Radar Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Rose of Nevada (2025) 100% 6.5/10 EDIT “Paired with its ideas on economic stability—perhaps they assume these roles to save their town—Rose of Nevada becomes a thoughtful experience that leaves you with something real and tangible, even if it requires sharp attention to fully appreciate.” – Under the Radar Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 93% 6.5/10 EDIT “When Sirât ends, the sheer intensity of its shock value makes it difficult to analyze the film beyond its nail-biting scenes and bold storytelling choices.” – Under the Radar Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 89% 7.5/10 EDIT “While Resurrection demands patience, it never feels slow or boring. Because the film’s identity changes minute by minute, it’s almost impossible to feel like the plot is going nowhere.” – Under the Radar Oct 6, 2025 Full Review What Does that Nature Say to You (2025) 100% 7/10 EDIT “What Does That Nature Say to You is one of Hong’s funniest and most playful films in years.” – Under the Radar Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 98% 7/10 EDIT “It’s a film that operates within both the personal and national spheres, attempting to reconcile the two... While the result may not always be successful, it’s consistently moving and nearly impossible to forget.” – Under the Radar Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% 7/10 EDIT “Maria is a striking, narratively interesting, and deeply affecting biopic about one of opera’s most talented, unforgettable, and complex figures.” – Under the Radar Oct 13, 2024 Full Review Afternoons of Solitude (2024) 88% 5.5/10 EDIT “Albert Serra’s Afternoons of Solitude is a visually striking, painfully frustrating, and profoundly difficult documentary to forget.” – Under the Radar Oct 13, 2024 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% 6.5/10 EDIT “Eephus is a surprisingly meditative film on the ways we resist (but eventually must adapt to) the finality of the things we love. ” – Under the Radar Oct 8, 2024 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 7.5/10 EDIT “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen anything quite like The Brutalist, and it will likely be a long time before we see anything like it again.” – Under the Radar Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 94% 5.5/10 EDIT “A worthy addition to the dialogue-heavy, one-note French film canon, Alain Guiraudie’s newest film, Misericordia, is a dark comedy that somehow feels perfectly satisfactory and woefully underwhelming.” – Under the Radar Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Drift (2023) 72% 5.5/10 EDIT “Drift boasts two fantastic performances that command the film and make it a worthwhile watch” – Under the Radar Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Concrete Utopia (2023) 100% 5.5/10 EDIT “While it does feel long at times, especially given its 130-minute runtime, the film’s captivating narrative and skillfully constructed action sequences consistently make it difficult to look away from the screen.” – Under the Radar Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell (2023) 94% 7.5/10 EDIT “For those who choose to sit it out and open themselves to the film’s ideas, a fascinating world awaits. ” – Under the Radar Oct 17, 2023 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% 6.5/10 EDIT “Johnathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest is a terrifying look at the banality of evil in Nazi Germany.” – Under the Radar Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Priscilla (2023) 84% 6.5 EDIT “While Coppola’s film may not be perfect, it’s much more interesting and layered than most biopics.” – Under the Radar Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% 7/10 EDIT “The perfect antidote to the endless slew of unfunny, cash-grab comedies we’ve been getting both in theaters and on streaming services.” – Under the Radar Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Perfect Days (2023) 96% 5.5/10 EDIT “Introducing an oddly linear plotline within the confines of a broader character study is a tough task. Unfortunately, Perfect Days lacks the narrative rhythm and fluidity necessary to pull it off.” – Under the Radar Oct 16, 2023 Full Review
