After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “While After the Hunt is occasionally gripping it's more often a plodding film that abandons any promise of real, complex insights in order to chase the fleeting highs of unsatisfying provocation.” – The Nation Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Wild Diamond (2024) 85% EDIT “Wild Diamond features gorgeous and frank observations about influencer culture, but it struggles to assert itself narratively. There are moments when the beauty of the project can feel like a distraction from its thin story. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Pickup (2025) 25% EDIT “The film boasts a strong comic cast with Murphy, Davidson and Palmer at the lead. Their chemistry is naturally compelling, which helps us buy into their increasingly ridiculous situation.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% EDIT “In less assured hands, Cactus Pears might have edged into trite territory, yielding to the familiar beats of trauma-laden queer love stories, but Kanawade’s considered direction and spare storytelling keep the narrative refreshing. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 31, 2025 Full Review No Sleep Till (2024) 94% EDIT “No Sleep Till does a particularly fine job of portraying an eerie kind of climate adaptation, one in which people acquiesce to their fate in the face of the elements. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 17, 2025 Full Review The Scout (2025) 93% EDIT “The film confidently highlights the delicate relationship between people and their spaces, while also acknowledging the understated harshness of a job that requires you to assess... one of the more intimate elements of another person’s life.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 14, 2025 Full Review 40 Acres (2024) 89% EDIT “Deadwyler is naturally compelling as a steely woman... It’s a pleasure to see the actress, whose major roles have required a stoic resolve, lean into softer and even funnier aspects of her character.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Natchez (2025) 100% EDIT “As the three stories become more intertwined, the genteel politeness on display at the start of the film falls away, revealing an unsettling core.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 21, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% EDIT “A deft addition to a sturdy lineage of motorsport flicks, from Rush and Gran Turismo to Ford v Ferrari and, most recently, Ferrari. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Just Kids (2025) EDIT “An informative and emotionally potent take on a politically salient issue. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Tow (2025) 100% EDIT “In its modest way, Tow sends a powerful message about how many of us have more in common with a person sleeping in a car than we do the billionaires we’ve been conditioned to admire.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 12, 2025 Full Review STRAW (2025) 53% EDIT “Straw isn’t the worst Perry film, but it suffers from the same problems that plague all of his projects. The narrative is chock full of heavy-handed metaphors, fussy plotting and strained drama. The best parts of the film can be attributed to Henson.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% EDIT “Based on a true story, Rosemead compassionately captures the various layers that come with trying to find support. The film’s intimate scope makes this a worthwhile portrayal of an under-discussed sliver of American life. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 9, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% EDIT “How to Train Your Dragon honors the charm of the original. It’s not an essential remake, but at least it’s not an offensive one.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Echo Valley (2025) 52% EDIT “The film’s intimate scope -- emotional betrayals provide the real thrills here -- as well as its melancholic atmosphere and solid performances make this a satisfying streamer option.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) 82% EDIT “The true draw in Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is Agathe, a compelling protagonist whose passion for literature and love keeps us sufficiently engaged.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 30, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “Still, Bring Her Back operates on an intuitive level that makes it hard to shake even after the credits roll. ” – The Hollywood Reporter May 28, 2025 Full Review The Wave (2025) 60% EDIT “Aesthetic flourishes abound, which make it an entertaining viewing experience, but one does wish that the narrative was a touch more complex. ” – The Hollywood Reporter May 27, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% EDIT “Honey Don’t! is a better movie than Drive-Away Dolls thanks to an engaging whodunit plot, but it ultimately suffers from the same issues as its predecessor: The film feels like a series of gags with nowhere to go. ” – The Hollywood Reporter May 24, 2025 Full Review Amrum (2025) 92% EDIT “[Jasper Ole] Billerbeck’s performance is Amrum’s emotional engine. The actor channels Nanning’s initial naïveté through sorrowful eyes that grow more steely as his adventures harden him to harsh realities.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 23, 2025 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 97% EDIT “The best moments of My Father’s Shadow are the stolen ones between Folarian and his sons. While there is some overly sentimental exposition in these encounters, they are easy to forgive because of the restrained performances and gentle visuals.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 20, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% EDIT “The movie never gets too outlandish or silly, revealing how well Covino and Marvin can reap cinematic chaos while remaining firmly in control of their art.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 20, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 66% EDIT “While Johansson proves a competent helmer, it's not enough to overcome some dizzying tonal imbalances. Still, at the very least, Eleanor the Great offers a character-driven break from the glut of sequels, prequels and whatever else studios squeeze out.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 20, 2025 Full Review A Pale View of Hills (2025) 63% EDIT “The impact of A Pale View of Hills is blunted by a tendency to over-explain and flatten. Still, there are some highlights, including the relationship between Etsuko and Sachiko. ” – The Hollywood Reporter May 18, 2025 Full Review The Phoenician Scheme (2025) 77% EDIT “The Phoenician Scheme tethers the filmmaker’s existential interests (the unfettered power of the billionaire class, unchecked greed and environmentalism) to the kind of poignant humanistic narrative that’s been missing from his latest offerings. ” – The Hollywood Reporter May 18, 2025 Full Review
