28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Everything moves at a crisp pace, and when it ended I felt that sense of satisfaction you feel when you see a good film - even if it's more DLC than essential chapter.” – Screen Rex Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% EDIT “Arnett delivers an excellent worn-down performance in some of the rawest, most thrilling minutes I've seen this year—before the film topples its own belief in the story.” – Screen Rex Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “Jeremy Allen White disappears into Springsteen with a performance that transcends impersonation, even if the film around him can’t quite find its rhythm.” – Screen Rex Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “An absorbing, richly Gothic portrayal of one of literature's great tragedies, beaten and bloodied by del Toro's lapse into familiar territory.” – Screen Rex Oct 17, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “A nuclear bomb of a film seething with anger.” – The Beat Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “Johnson's third Knives Out mystery drowns in two-and-a-half hours of smug messaging and paper-thin characters, more an endurance test than a compelling whodunit” – The Beat Sep 18, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% EDIT “An effort with the political firepower of the most radical of filmmakers while wrapped in a premise that would be worthy of an Elmore Leonard bestseller” – Screen Rex Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 97% EDIT “Exit 8 takes a hard and unwelcome turn into an avenue that's clearly pushing hard in a pro-life direction” – Screen Rex Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 93% EDIT “A thriller in the truest sense...there were moments that indeed left my jaw hanging open” – Screen Rex Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “A tender story...Trier lands on something quite novel with a truly sublime performance by Skarsgård” – Screen Rex Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “A novelistic modern fairy tale that tempts you to want to live in its world and noodle around in its marginalia...Cregger is the real deal and likely the guy who can finally inherit John Carpenter's horror master crown.” – Screen Rex Aug 7, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “This Marvel outing commits the cardinal sin of being not only predictable but, even worse, boring.” – Screen Rex Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% EDIT “A better Coen Brothers riff than anything they've made in a decade.” – Screen Rex Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “The best Superman movie we’ve ever gotten and a perfect distillation of the character’s world and his adventures as they appear on the page.” – Screen Rex Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Karate Kid: Legends (2025) 58% EDIT “The best moments of Karate Kid: Legends are when it's not much of a Karate Kid film at all.” – Screen Rex May 28, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% EDIT “For those who’ve been waiting for the filmmaker to recapture the magic of his pre-retirement glory days, Black Bag isn’t just a return to form—it’s a reminder of why we fell in love with his filmmaking in the first place.” – Screen Rex Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% EDIT “Coogler has delivered a film that marries horror convention with cultural interrogation in ways that feel both audacious and essential.” – Screen Rex Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% EDIT “Provides a greater mythical power and dread than I thought could be possible in this old tome.” – Screen Rex Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% EDIT “Is it the best big screen comedy since Bridesmaids? Probably so.” – Screen Rex Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% EDIT “One of the big surprises of the fest, well worth seeing and a nice change-up for A24.” – Screen Rex Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% EDIT “The best ending I’ve seen in years. People were literally screaming.” – Screen Rex Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Sharp Corner (2024) 92% EDIT “A little thin, if inherently watchable” – Screen Rex Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% EDIT “A film that finds Baker at height of his storytelling prowess and his ongoing fixation on gutter glam. ” – Screen Rex Sep 17, 2024 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% EDIT “I judge it worthy of being among the good side of King on screen. ” – Screen Rex Sep 16, 2024 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% EDIT “I don’t know how to say this gently, but around a quarter of the film’s shots were out of focus” – Screen Rex Sep 16, 2024 Full Review
