Rating Title | Year Author Quote
Aída y Vuelta (2026) Avi Offer A breezy and mildly amusing satire with shades of Almodóvar, but it's tonally uneven and not funny, outrageous or witty enough.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Jimpa (2025) Avi Offer An occasionally poignant, but undercooked, overstuffed and unfocused portrait of a dysfunctional family.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Calle Málaga (2025) Avi Offer A bittersweet, but tedious and mildly engaging drama elevated by Carmen Maura's warm and radiant performance.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Avi Offer An atmospheric, but dull and overlong Gothic horror romance that suffers from style over substance.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Solo Mio (2026) Avi Offer Sweet, heartwarming and breezy, but occasionally cheesy and contrived. Your enjoyment of the film depends how much you can handle a saccharine romcom and on how much you're willing to suspend your disbelief.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir (2026) Avi Offer A stylishly edited, but shallow, overlong and mostly hagiographic documentary.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Shelter (2026) Avi Offer An uninspired, clunky and pedestrian action thriller with a fleeting amount of suspense and excitement. Shelter would be the inferior B-movie in a double feature with the more gripping and intelligent Black Bag.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Moses the Black (2026) Avi Offer A provocative albeit heavy-handed crime drama. An engrossing character study as well as protest against violence and hatred which are very important and universal aphorisms.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Send Help (2026) Avi Offer A wildly entertaining, wickedly funny and exhilarating thrill ride. Send Help manages to be as fun and exciting as the third chapter of Triangle of Sadness with as much biting satire and tongue-in-cheek humor.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Worldbreaker (2025) Avi Offer An intense and gritty, but tedious and uninspired sci-fi action thriller.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Paying for It (2024) Avi Offer It doesn't say anything profound, new or surprising about love, fidelity, intimacy, happiness, relationships or loneliness.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Islands (2025) Avi Offer A taut and intriguing Hitchcockian thriller with a career-best performance by Sam Riley.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Back to the Past (2025) Avi Offer A sci-fi action adventure with great production design, but a lackluster story and not enough palpable thrills.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Avi Offer A mildly amusing and visually stylish, but toothless, shallow and tedious mockumentary satire that's not nearly as smart, funny and biting as Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Clika (2026) Avi Offer A shallow, pedestrian and forgettable coming-of-age music drama with a lively soundtrack that fails to deliver poignancy or insight into the heart, mind and soul of its protagonist.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Avi Offer A mildly engaging and occasionally provocative, but shallow, tedious, incomplete and underwhelming documentary
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
H Is for Hawk (2025) Avi Offer Sugar-coated, by-the-numbers and undercooked.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
The Dreamer Cinderella (2025) Avi Offer A sweet, charming and uplifting romantic comedy for the whole family.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
The Containment (2024) Avi Offer Uninspired, unscary and bland.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
The Big Johnson (2025) Avi Offer A captivating, warts-and-all documentary.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
Mercy (2026) Avi Offer A slick and stylish sci-fi thriller that's shallow, convoluted and increasingly preposterous.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Avi Offer An atmospheric, supernatural horror thriller that offers no surprises, thrills or palpable scares.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
Two Sleepy People (2025) Avi Offer An honest, wise, heartfelt and refreshingly un-Hollywood romantic dramedy brimming with wit, humor and genuine warmth.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
Seeds (2025) Avi Offer A warm, poetic and exquisitely shot documentary.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Night Patrol (2025) Avi Offer An uninspired, undercooked and overstuffed horror comedy/thriller.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Avi Offer An audacious, gritty, rousing and wildly entertaining horror thriller.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Signing Tony Raymond (2025) Avi Offer A funny, witty and uplifting sports dramedy that's not just for football fans.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
SHEEPDOG (2025) Avi Offer A heartfelt and wise emotional journey that's occasionally contrived, schmaltzy and on-the-nose.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
A Useful Ghost (2025) Avi Offer A bold, but uneven and overlong amalgam of comedy, satire, sci-fi and drama.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Charlie the Wonderdog (2025) Avi Offer An amusing and delightful animated superhero adventure.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) Avi Offer Timely, provocative and captivating.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Shuffle (2025) Avi Offer An eye-opening, enraging and well-edited documentary exposé.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
All You Need Is Kill (2025) Avi Offer An exhilarating and thrilling slice of sci-fi anime.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Avi Offer A by-the-numbers disaster movie with great visual effects, but a bland screenplay without any surprises. Gerard Butler does his best to invigorate the film with his charisma.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Primate (2025) Avi Offer A lean and unflinchingly gory B-movie that's too dumb, repetitive and unimaginative to become a new cult classic. Primate feels just as disappointing and lazy as Cocaine Bear.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
The Dutchman (2025) Avi Offer A provocative, surreal and gripping psychological thriller with shades of David Lynch.
Posted Jan 07, 2026  Edit critic review
I Was a Stranger (2024) Avi Offer Mildly engaging, but undercooked.
Posted Jan 07, 2026  Edit critic review
OBEX (2025) Avi Offer Equally surreal, bizarre and unconventional. OBEX ultimately isn't as provocative, audacious, poetic or poignant as other mindf---s like I Saw the TV Glow.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
My Neighbor Adolf (2022) Avi Offer It's just as disappointing, poorly executed and ultimately forgettable as Getting Away with Murder. For a much better film about someone suspecting his neighbor of being a former Nazi, see Beautiful Blue Eyes.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Avi Offer A well-acted and wickedly funny, but clunky and somewhat inert dramatic thriller with a great soundtrack.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
The Chronology of Water (2025) Avi Offer A bold, unflinching, heartbreaking and exquisitely shot emotional journey.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
All That's Left of You (2025) Avi Offer A provocative and timely drama that's well-acted, unflinching and emotionally devastating.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Young Mothers (2025) Avi Offer A tender, heartfelt and gently moving slice-of-life that avoids melodrama, contrivance and schmaltz.
Posted Jan 06, 2026  Edit critic review
We Bury the Dead (2024) Avi Offer A lean and slow-burning, but dull, tedious and undercooked zombie thriller with not enough world-building, suspense, scares or imagination.
Posted Dec 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Anaconda (2025) Avi Offer A painfully unfunny, lazy and asinine satire that runs out of steam very early. Anaconda could've been as bonkers and wickedly funny as One Cut of the Dead or as witty and outrageously funny as Bowfinger, but it doesn't even come close.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
The Plague (2025) Avi Offer One of the most original, profound and poignant coming-of-age movies in years. It's concurrently funny, scary, suspenseful, heartbreaking and enlightening. Everett Blunck and Kayo Martin both give breakthrough performances as does Kenny Rasmussen.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The Choral (2025) Avi Offer Mildly engaging and understated, but often dull, clunky, sugar-coated, undercooked and choppily edited. The Choral isn't nearly as powerful as the far more poignant and captivating The Chorus from 2004.
Posted Dec 22, 2025  Edit critic review
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Avi Offer A beautifully shot and poetic, but tedious, overlong and heavy-handed drama with shades of Terrence Malick. Amanda Seyfried gives one of the best performances of her career
Posted Dec 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Avi Offer Undercooked, slight and underwhelming without allowing any of the talented ensemble cast to truly shine. It's ultimately less than the sum of its parts. Night on Earth is a superior Jarmusch film that also includes interconnected vignettes.
Posted Dec 20, 2025  Edit critic review
David (2025) Avi Offer A captivating adventure with stunning animation and exhilarating musical numbers. One of the best animated movies of the year.
