Shame and Money (2026) 100% EDIT “Morina’s slow-burning third feature, after Babai and Exil, is attuned to every held breath and hopeful, wary or wounded glance of its two leads, Astrit Kabashi and Flonja Kodheli, who deliver performances of exquisite understatement.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 2, 2026 Full Review When a Witness Recants (2026) EDIT “Dawn Porter’s gripping documentary takes a measured, multipronged approach as it examines the nightmarish miscarriage of justice, the longed-for and extraordinary resolution, and the possibly unhealable wounds for almost everyone involved.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) EDIT “Disneyland Handcrafted is instead an immersive bit of time travel, spun out of 16-millimeter footage from the months leading up to the park's opening day.” – New York Times Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Take Me Home (2026) 93% EDIT “There isn’t a predictable or hackneyed exchange in the drama, which understands not just the immense challenges its characters face but also the throwaway humor that can be essential to a family’s connective tissue.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Soul Patrol (2026) 100% EDIT “At first this conceit, entwining the otherworldly intensity of war with the everyday, feels self-conscious. But the poetic leaps gather emotional force as the film proceeds. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 26, 2026 Full Review One in a Million (2026) 100% EDIT “A distillation of formative years for Israa and turning points for her family, One in a Million feels both ultra-specific and universal.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 25, 2026 Full Review The Huntress (2026) EDIT “The character is brought to vibrant, ferocious, conflicted life by a superb Adriana Paz.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Little Trouble Girls (2025) 98% EDIT “With superb performances across the board, particularly from her two young leads, and an adventurous use of visual and aural elements, Djukić has conjured an alluring fusion of spiritual awakening and adolescent confusion.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Palestine 36 (2025) 100% EDIT “This is a story of national identity and resistance with contemporary resonance, but it’s also a classic genre movie, its historical tapestry populated by a strong ensemble of screen stars as well as impressive newcomers.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Cutting Through Rocks (2025) 100% EDIT “Khaki and Mohammadreza Eyni, who directed and edited the documentary, with Eyni also serving as cinematographer, have made a film that pulses with so much hopefulness that when Shahverdi’s story takes a shocking turn, it’s a punch to the solar plexus. ” – New York Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Kokuho (2025) 100% EDIT “At the center of its superb cast, Ryo Yoshizawa and Ryusei Yokohama deliver exquisitely layered performances that interweave offstage characterization and onstage theatricality.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% EDIT “The terror plays out on an intimate scale among this collection of characters, all of them vividly drawn in sharp strokes by the writing and by the deliciously watchable and sometimes unnerving performances from an uncommonly charismatic cast.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Mistress Dispeller (2024) 95% EDIT “But however quietly they express these revelations, the enormity of [the central trio's] feelings is what propels the film, underlined by Brian McOmber’s brooding score and the aching intensity of a Puccini aria on the soundtrack.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 26, 2025 Full Review The Ark (2025) EDIT “With its handsome widescreen cinematography, its photogenic human subjects and its captivating assortment of farm animals, The Ark is a warm, inviting documentary. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Soul on Fire (2025) 67% EDIT “Bad things happen to good people in “Soul on Fire,” whose mix of dire calamity and spiritual opportunity manages to be affecting despite the dashes of unabashed schmaltz. ” – New York Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review The Librarians (2025) 94% EDIT “From its superb opening-credits sequence paying tribute to card catalogs of yore to its sharp selection of vintage clips and intimate reportage, “The Librarians” is as well-crafted as it is profoundly alarming.” – New York Times Oct 2, 2025 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% EDIT “It’s hard to know what to say anymore, but I hope many people see this movie.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 3, 2025 Full Review The Tale of Silyan (2025) 100% EDIT “An absolute charmer, The Tale of Silyan is an affecting look at the human-avian bond, with all its mysteries, warmth and ungainly practicalities.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Late Fame (2026) 85% EDIT “At once a satire of artistic pretensions and a tantalizing character study, Late Fame isn’t focused on big cathartic moments... But there’s a satisfying depth to it, and the movie abounds in exquisite grace notes.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 30, 2025 Full Review HIGHWAY 99: A Double Album (2025) EDIT “Not every documentarian’s first-person contributions enrich the proceedings, but here the quest hits all the right notes, and the gathering of voices feels like a place to begin rather than a summing-up.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Cover-Up (2025) 98% EDIT “Cover-Up isn’t propelled by the you-are-there urgency of Poitras’ Citizenfour, but it’s urgent nonetheless, an eloquent reminder that patriotism is better defined by informed dissent than by flags and pins.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Vice Is Broke (2024) 60% EDIT “This documentary, like the upstart publication, fuses punk energy and polish.” – New York Times Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Folktales (2025) 85% EDIT “There is poetry as well as deep affection in their close-ups of people and dogs, and lessons for any age in the way students tumble off their sleds and get right back up.” – New York Times Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Leads (2025) EDIT “Built around two strong central performances, Bryan Poyser’s well-observed feature captures emotional insights without wallowing in them, along with some low-key zingers.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Bride Hard (2025) 14% EDIT “A smorgasbord of unconvincing danger and semi-schmaltzy lessons in friendship, “Bride Hard” is rarely as funny as it could be.” – New York Times Jun 23, 2025 Full Review
