3/4
The Drama (2026) Chase Hutchinson Yet while the filmmaker’s latest lacks the same withering and ultimately mournful power as his feature debut, 2022’s shattering Sick of Myself, it also proves to be far more interesting than his hit-and-miss 2023 film Dream Scenario.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Josh Bell Viewers who love being able to point at things they recognize will no doubt be pleased.

Phoenix Jones: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Superhero (2026) Chase Hutchinson Aware of the fact that his often unreliable subject may be spinning a story even while we’re watching him, Joonam makes this part of the experience, calling attention to how Fodor is trying to make a new mythology for himself.

The Life We Leave (2026) Chase Hutchinson A film about life and death, just as it is also the business of dying, J.J. Gerber’s The Life We Leave is a refreshing, joyous gem of a documentary that also doesn’t shy away from the pain of loss.

#Skyking (2026) Chase Hutchinson Save for a more misguided musical choice near the end that sees the film falling prey to the online mythologizing that still surrounds the incident, it mostly manages to delve deeper into what happened and what it means all these years later.

Capturing Bigfoot (2026) Chase Hutchinson Packed full of more unexpected revelations about the potential origins of the towering hairy creature while never losing sight of the human beings stuck in its shadow, it’s an incisive work.

And Her Body Was Never Found (2026) Chase Hutchinson Without tipping anything off, this is a scrappy little film of surprising layers that becomes uniquely unsettling as it begins peeling them all back.

Kokuho (2025) Chase Hutchinson While many key scenes linger in the mind — be it in a final poetic performance that mirrors the devastating opening — many also fade away as we hurry to the next development.

The Singers (2026) Chase Hutchinson Full of genuinely great singing and performances across the board, it’s a mirthful, melancholic and moving musical of sorts that’s all wonderfully shot by Davis.

The Devil Is Busy (2024) Chase Hutchinson It incisively uncovers both the grim realities of an America in decline just as it does the grace of the people protecting their patients’ rights.
Posted Mar 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Retirement Plan (2024) Chase Hutchinson Sharing all his plans, big and small, this lovingly animated film becomes an existential reflection on the quiet poetry of life itself (and a reminder that you should have a trip sitter when trying drugs).
Posted Mar 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Perfectly a Strangeness (2024) Chase Hutchinson Following three donkeys who encounter an abandoned astronomical observatory, it’s a deceptively captivating documentary with no dialogue that still speaks to something breathtaking and true about our place in the universe.
Posted Mar 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Butcher's Stain (2025) Chase Hutchinson As Samir tries to prove his innocence, this restrained, riveting short effectively captures the demoralizing reality of how, even when you have the truth on your side, it may not matter.
Posted Mar 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Butterfly (2024) Chase Hutchinson Ephemeral yet profoundly, emotionally moving, it’s a work where the swirling animation — with one color bleeding into the next — and superb sound design make it feel like you’re immersed underwater.

A Magnificent Life (2025) Josh Bell Marcel Pagnol may have had a magnificent life, but the movie about him is disappointingly ordinary.

2.5/4
Project Hail Mary (2026) Josh Bell The filmmakers exchange scientific rigor for crowd-pleasing simplicity, crafting a solid piece of mainstream entertainment that's not quite as smart as it makes itself out to be.

2.5/4
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Josh Bell Ultimately, though, EPiC doesn't need to understand or analyze Presley. Just showing him onstage in all his glory, letting his talent speak for itself, is all that's necessary.

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Chase Hutchinson Rather than fall prey to the perils of being overly dramatic, Hania uses the tools of drama to explore the feelings of frustration and fear that mere headlines about this day could never begin to capture.

2.5/4
Scarlet (2025) Josh Bell Hosoda honors Shakespeare while making a brooding, bombastic movie that's purely his own.

Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Chase Hutchinson It’s a monumental and remarkable work, a true gift from cinema history.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Josephine (2026) Chase Hutchinson While deeply imperfect, often teetering right on the edge of falling apart, it’s an engrossing, effective work of formal and psychological exploration that looks out at the world through the eyes of a child who witnessed a violent assault.

3/4
Send Help (2026) Josh Bell It's not a full-throttle return to Raimi's gonzo roots, but even an enjoyably minor work from this major filmmaker is something worth celebrating.

3.5/4
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Chase Hutchinson It’s arresting cinema and a truly one-of-a-kind look at history that, sadly, despite all the film has going for it, feels like it hasn’t gotten its proper moment in the sun in the way it should have.

3/4
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Chase Hutchinson When [Fiennes] gets a showstopper of a final number, it very nearly blows the roof off the entire film.

3/4
No Other Choice (2025) Josh Bell There's nothing subtle about Man-su's efforts to eliminate his professional competition, and the movie reflects that audacity, with expansive storytelling and visual sophistication.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Chase Hutchinson What do you get if you take The Wizard of Oz, strip it of all its vibrant color, and then pretend this is something that actually makes it feel "grounded" in reality? Well, you’ve got the woefully wearisome Wicked: For Good.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
War of the Worlds (2025) Chase Hutchinson Where other films built around screens like Searching and Missing were able to make what could be a bit of gimmick work, War of the Worlds is just a dull disaster from start to finish.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
The Electric State (2025) Chase Hutchinson A lifeless and empty husk of "content" in the worst sense of the word, it’s as if the Russos took Stålenhag’s striking illustrations, put them into a shredder and half-heartedly assembled what it spat out.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Dust Bunny (2025) Chase Hutchinson Though built around the potential of a monster under the bed, which brings gruesome death to all who underestimate it, it’s a film that’s bursting with life in every cleverly executed sequence or gleefully macabre joke.

1.5/4
The Housemaid (2025) Chase Hutchinson Much like its central character, The Housemaid only gets interesting when it finally makes itself at home in the genre’s pleasures. Everything else? Best pack it up and move.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Josh Bell It's the triumphs that linger after the movie ends, even as it piles on the tragedies in its final act.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Chase Hutchinson There’s still nobody making movies like Cameron. It’s just unfortunate that, at this point in his career, he proved it by making a bigger version of the same movie all over again.

2.5/4
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Josh Bell It's the best kind of remake, taking a movie that wasn't very good in the first place, retaining its best elements and adding some clever new twists.

3/4
Jay Kelly (2025) Josh Bell It's a warm, funny and occasionally prickly character study, in the mode of Greenberg and Frances Ha, fellow Baumbach films named after their endearingly self-involved main characters.

1/4
Zootopia 2 (2025) Chase Hutchinson Like the saintly new snake character that it introduces, it’s wearing the skin of what you think a movie like this should be, but soon sheds it all off to reveal itself as one of the most desperately sweaty sequels of recent memory.

1.5/4
The Running Man (2025) Chase Hutchinson Rather than see him leave his mark on the material, the director feels, for the first time in his career, incidental to it.

1.5/4
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Josh Bell The new characters are just as smug as their predecessors, and the Horsemen's whole Robin Hood shtick comes off as even more disingenuous than before.

2/4
Christy (2025) Josh Bell Christy's rise and fall, complete with drug addiction, domestic abuse and financial fraud, is a familiar story that has played out in dozens of biopics about athletes and artists, and Michôd does little to distinguish this particular iteration.

2/4
Anniversary (2025) Josh Bell It's like an overly somber take on the forgotten 2018 Ike Barinholtz comedy The Oath, and it's similarly unconvincing.

2.5/4
Frankenstein (2025) Chase Hutchinson In many regards, del Toro ends up feeling most like the titular doctor. He’s done it, he’s created something with new life in Elordi’s vibrant performance, only for the world to see his beautiful creation sadly surpass him.

1.5/4
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Chase Hutchinson Where Nebraska remains a bold and achingly beautiful work of art, Deliver Me from Nowhere is a film that merely goes through the motions.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
2/4
After the Hunt (2025) Josh Bell The filmmakers favor opacity over insight, resulting in a frustrating film that drags out its repetitive innuendos for nearly two and a half hours.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Chase Hutchinson The ultimate conclusion is less of a poetic ending than it is a sudden stopping. Rather than feel provocative, it proves to be one last incomplete thought in a film full of them. Instead of truly staring down nuclear annihilation, Bigelow merely blinks.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Idle Hands (1999) Chase Hutchinson A stoner horror-comedy more fun in theory than it is in execution, Idle Hands is still a movie you must watch just to say you’ve done it. You’ll likely groan at the iffy jokes, but you can’t fully dismiss the fun it has with practical body horror effects.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) Chase Hutchinson A delightful buddy comedy that doesn’t skimp on blood when all the horror shenanigans take hold, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil remains an all-time cult movie worth pledging your soul to. Bursting with silly gags and gory kills, it remains a horror lover’s dream.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Cabin in the Woods (2011) Chase Hutchinson A clever skewering of horror clichés that carves out plenty of bloody fun all its own, The Cabin in the Woods deconstructs the genre while also working as a solid entry in it. That the film lives and dies on a stoner saving the day makes it a real treat.
Posted Oct 10, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Roofman (2025) Josh Bell With gentle humor and easygoing rapport, Roofman tells a nice story about a surprisingly nice guy, and that's nice enough.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Rental Family (2025) Chase Hutchinson Though ultimately built to be an earnest crowdpleaser, there are many intriguing and thorny moments where it's as if a fantastic Fraser is playing the chaotic good version of Nathan Fielder from The Rehearsal. It's this that ensures it cuts a bit deeper.
Posted Sep 21, 2025  Edit critic review
The Baltimorons (2025) Chase Hutchinson It's like Before Sunset but with beer as opposed to wine, a great deal more mouth blood, and a Baltimore setting. This could sound like a horror film if tweaked a bit, but The Baltimorons is a bittersweet rom-com gem.
Posted Sep 21, 2025  Edit critic review
2/4
The History of Sound (2025) Josh Bell That swooning romantic chemistry is the cornerstone of The History of Sound, which is elegant and engaging when Lionel and David are together, and much less compelling when they're apart.
