(2025) 47% 2/4 EDIT “You're Dating a Narcissist! becomes so contrived that it makes us constantly question the intelligence, sincerity, and believability of its main character.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Marc by Sofia (2025) 71% 2/4 EDIT “They know each other well, and that might be to the downfall of Marc by Sofia.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Kontinental '25 (2025) 92% 2.5/4 EDIT “Kontinental '25 mostly ... talks itself into circles around some important ideas and persistent problems...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Holy Days (2026) 63% 2/4 EDIT “[T]he movie enters and never leaves formulaic territory.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Yes (2025) 93% 3/4 EDIT “The protagonist may try to mute his conscience, but the film's is loud and doesn't hide.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 26, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 63% 2/4 EDIT “Once the shock of the plot's actual setup is put forward, the movie falls into a series of familiar patterns...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 26, 2026 Full Review She Dances (2025) 88% 3/4 EDIT “[I]ts emotional core is ... frank and truthful.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Our Hero, Balthazar (2025) 91% 3/4 EDIT “It is [funny] in a twisted way that's meant to make us uncomfortable, because there shouldn't be anything remotely comfortable about characters like these and subject matter like this.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 75% 2/4 EDIT “[It] ends with such a formulaic third act that one has to wonder if the writers ... couldn't determine how to bring all of it together.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Fantasy Life (2025) 82% 3/4 EDIT “[The central] relationship is believable because it doesn't, despite what the title says, come across as a fantasy.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Alpha (2025) 56% 1.5/4 EDIT “Is a striking visual metaphor enough to carry a movie? Writer/director Julia Ducournau ... is counting on that with Alpha.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Pretty Lethal (2026) 56% 1.5/4 EDIT “[T]he violence of director Vicky Jewson's movie is constantly flippant, while the staging of those brawls becomes increasingly ridiculous. ” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Vampires of the Velvet Lounge (2026) 29% 1.5/4 EDIT “[I]ts mix of humor and horror comes across as clunky and awkward.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “[T]here is plenty of tension in Two Prosecutors, which is impressive since the plot itself does amount to so much waiting ... for meetings...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel (2026) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel feels personal and intimate, even within ... its by-the-books structure.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review
