7/10
The Lost Bus (2025) Jared Mobarak The effects team truly earned that Oscar nomination because fire is generally the least believable of all computer manipulations and it looked pretty darn flawless here.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Jared Mobarak It lives in an A Life Less Ordinary vein seen through a "Pushing Daisies" filter and that description of its tragically whimsical aesthetic is pretty much my ideal for romance when it comes to pop culture’s willingness to take a swing.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Jared Mobarak Song Sung Blue‘s subjects are the perfect mix of second chance American Dreamers and soulfully genuine underdogs who own their flaws, fight to be better, and try to always put family first.

2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025) Jared Mobarak It inevitably becomes a laundry list of the dead. Even so, it’s objectively important, will probably earn Chernov another Oscar, and stands as a reminder of Putin’s evil [and Ukraine's courage].

H Is for Hawk (2025) Jared Mobarak The whole ultimately comes down to wishing we had hoods to blind our senses from reality like Mabel, but our brains sadly don't grant the same luxury.

Arco (2025) Jared Mobarak The animation style is attractive, the environments intricately detailed, and the action energetic. I also really loved Arnaud Toulon’s score—always present yet never overpowering. It’s a crucial piece that augments the emotions carried by Fay and Valdi.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Jared Mobarak I was very impressed by Dwayne Johnson proving just as capable. Man, was he great. Justifiably yet mournfully tempestuous. Infectiously and inspirationally jubilant. He owns every single frame.

Mother of Flies (2025) Jared Mobarak Yes, there are a lot of demonic earmarks from burning corpses to parasites and the unnatural, but there are just as many examples of love transcending reason too.

Rental Family (2025) Jared Mobarak What was a cute premise about the act of helping curing the helper suddenly reveals the pain of silent manipulations. Before lying to alleviate your own frustration with a loved one's needs, try asking what it is they truly desire.

The Alabama Solution (2025) Jared Mobarak This is an impressive, powerful documentary born from hubris [that proves] "states’ rights" is merely a dogwhistle for "we should decide the legality of slavery ourselves."

Night Patrol (2025) Jared Mobarak What I really enjoyed beyond the over-the-top gore and humor is the way in which this character complexity is handled. Carr and Hawkins each seek to play both sides and bridge the gap, but they chose [an irredeemable] third side to do so.

The Chronology of Water (2025) Jared Mobarak Never one to back down from a challenge, Kristen Stewart’s feature directorial debut is about as bold as one can get. The whole almost feels like a non-fiction essay at times—a collage of images tied together by emotion more than plot.

Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) Jared Mobarak I'm too cynical to believe those who need it will watch, let alone have the humility to absorb it and recognize their place within. But it does reinforce what the rest of us know by confirming our refusal to ignore the truth is the best weapon we have.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Jared Mobarak Dan Trachtenberg isn't breathing new life into the Predator franchise. He's wielding what makes it great to breathe new life into a familiar genre trope.

Sound of Falling (2025) Jared Mobarak I couldn’t quite vibe with the pacing or structure due to never quite knowing who was talking. But my God was this a gorgeous work of sensory cinema.

The Choral (2025) Jared Mobarak The teen sex comedy antics can’t help but feel weird nonetheless considering the subject matter. But a lot of what occurs is worthwhile. Especially the futility.

7/10
Is This Thing On? (2025) Jared Mobarak The drama is sound, the comedy softens its heavy emotions, Arnett gets to act, Dern is great, and Cooper brilliantly takes the piss out of himself to laugh at everyone who believes he directs solely to win a Best Actor Oscar.

The Long Walk (2025) Jared Mobarak Sometimes it's nice to just let the mythology behind a dystopia serve as a backdrop for a tale of brotherly love that reminds us empathy and camaraderie are the truest form of rebellion against an authoritarian regime.

Eddington (2025) Jared Mobarak By the time a literal dumpster fire appeared, I wondered if someone was going to jump over a shark too. After all, the lesson here is that everyone who doesn’t become a martyr will eventually sell out.

The Shrouds (2024) Jared Mobarak Cronenberg simply plays it all straight, bleeding nightmare and reality together in a way that erases both. It’s a puzzle intentionally built without a solution. Instead of providing intrigue, however, it felt like a complete waste of time.

Rosemead (2025) Jared Mobarak Lucy Liu is very good, but the script refuses to let her character cope with what is happening because it wants us to worry about what might happen next.

The Life of Chuck (2024) Jared Mobarak The Life of Chuck truly is a balm for the soul [that] becomes a little game to catch the references amidst Nick Offerman's fun narration and Flanagan's brightly surreal imagery of nightmare, dream, and reality.

All That's Left of You (2025) Jared Mobarak And the dialogue is full of memorable lines that get to the core of Dabis’ humanist messaging. Because while it is an unavoidably political film in its content, love and empathy are what resonate most.

Bugonia (2025) Jared Mobarak Will Tracy truly cut the chaff from Jang Joon-hwan’s Save the Green Planet! to focus solely on what made it so unique: its paranoid sci-fi conceit.

Harvest (2024) Jared Mobarak Fire, violence, and cruelty abound as these elements collide to force each party to look inward and take stock of their strength and loyalty amidst the uncertainty of their survival.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Jared Mobarak My wish is for this same story to be told from the Grimmerie’s vantage point of providing characters the worst version of their desires en route to remaking Oz in its own nightmarish image.

7/10
Afternoons of Solitude (2024) Jared Mobarak [Serra] merely films its violent dance with as much objectivity as possible so audiences can decide whether the imagery is beautiful, abhorrent, or both.

Cover-Up (2025) Jared Mobarak Hersh’s work ultimately speaks for itself and he has no desire to overshadow its potency with hindsight—a fact that doesn’t necessarily help the film’s ambition.

The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Jared Mobarak Its "look at the Marion County police’s job well done" eventually plays like copaganda on its road to justice, but the path to manslaughter remains critical.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Jared Mobarak Disney has upped the ante with Zootopia 2 in ways that force me to stop giving this series the benefit of the doubt. You aren't creating distance from the taboo [by making everyone an animal]. You're just giving yourself cover to be racist.

Train Dreams (2025) Jared Mobarak So, I get why many love the film and others think it hollow. I don't therefore mind finding myself stuck in the middle with the realization that its often shallow machinations do ultimately add up to a whole lot.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Jared Mobarak Seyfried is fantastic and McKenzie, Cale, and Lewis Pullman each shine beside her, but the film's real strength is Fastvold's direction. She's conducted a technical masterclass with gorgeous cinematography and even better editing.

Sorry, Baby (2025) Jared Mobarak An extremely memorable debut in its authentic handling of sensitive subject matter and narrative structure. Sorry, Baby is a collection of moments—touchstones on its lead's road to recovery.

The Plague (2025) Jared Mobarak I'd argue it's better to let the metaphor live rather than allude to its existence. The message gets lost when you try to straddle that line by giving audiences both simultaneously. It seeks to merely use genre trappings, not be a genre film.

Marty Supreme (2025) Jared Mobarak There's too much happening. Yes, it conveniently meshes to give each insane cameo purpose, but more as an exhilarating stunt than anything else. That's great for a technical showcase, but I could only invest in Odessa A'zion's Rachel. Intentionally so.

Hedda (2025) Jared Mobarak Hedda is never more compelling than when [Thompson and Hoss] are going toe-to-toe with every barb holding the extra context of an ever-present history forever etched in their faces.

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Jared Mobarak The role of films like The Voice of Hind Rajab is therefore to remind everyone that the work does matter. It exposes truths so that the next tragedy might be prevented.

Sentimental Value (2025) Jared Mobarak [Nora and Agnes'] circumstances were the same, but their experiences weren’t. Reinsve and Lilleaas are constantly revealing this truth through their characters and performances.

Dust Bunny (2025) Jared Mobarak It’s neither a silly fairy tale to Aurora nor a mistaken identity action flick to her neighbor. It’s about survival. That we understand this fact while still getting to enjoy two hours of high concept entertainment shouldn’t be understated.

Resurrection (2025) Jared Mobarak In an industry increasingly asking filmmakers to conform for their paycheck, Gan reminds us of what can be done with the medium when they’re allowed to dream.

Hamnet (2025) Jared Mobarak Zhao is spot-on when she talks about Hamnet exemplifying the "alchemy" that can occur when one’s art is wielded as a therapeutic outlet. The play doesn’t exploit their tragedy. It memorializes a life and ensures the world celebrates and mourns him too.

The Secret Agent (2025) Jared Mobarak I love a title with the power to feed into how you interpret the story on-screen. It’s a brilliant bit of implicit manipulation that ensures engagement in such a way that we don’t get angry once the strings are revealed. We become impressed.

The Mother and the Bear (2024) Jared Mobarak Whenever the chance for an easy bit of drama arrives, Ma deftly keeps matters subdued so that the payoff can come with intent rather than bluster.

Little Trouble Girls (2025) Jared Mobarak Ostan authentically portrays the embarrassment, insecurity, and fear that results when her decisions to give into temptation and banish it both leave her in tears.

Man Finds Tape (2025) Jared Mobarak Hall and Gandersman are operating with a similar, highly polished lo-fi aesthetic [to producers Moorhead and Benson] wherein the story is built to its budget to ensure verisimilitude isn’t sacrificed for imagination.

Happy Holidays (2024) Jared Mobarak [Copti] pulls absolutely no punches to reveal just how damaging both cultures [Israeli and Muslim] are to freedom when it comes to gender, religious, or ethnic equality.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Jared Mobarak It’s an intense ride that won’t be easily shaken. A large portion of that is due to Byrne’s tour-de-force performance, but also credit Bronstein’s aesthetic decision to never show Quinn’s face.

Left-Handed Girl (2025) Jared Mobarak Tradition and responsibility are complex concepts and our actions don’t occur in a vacuum. Who we are should mean more than who we "should be." Mistakes happen. It’s how you respond that matters.

8/10
Köln 75 (2025) Jared Mobarak Fluk infuses an energy that makes veracity an afterthought to entertainment. Köln 75 is instead about vibes, jazz, and the woman who made The Köln Concert iconic despite the guy who happened to be playing the music on-stage.
Posted Nov 21, 2025  Edit critic review
8/10
Cutting Through Rocks (2025) Jared Mobarak Many sobering realizations by the end of Cutting Through Rocks expose how progress and hope move much slower than tyranny and oppression. It’s one step forward, two steps back, but the seeds for real change are planted, nonetheless.
