Havoc
(2025)
|
Robert Kojder
|
Yes, Tom Hardy is doing another menacingly wacky voice, and yes, the copious amounts of melee brawls and John Woo inspired shootouts kick major ass and takes no prisoners

Until Dawn
(2025)
|
Robert Kojder
|
Not entirely successful translating the game’s concept to a new medium, but the rollercoaster-paced, affectionately kitchen-sink approach to horror, alongside a live, die, repeat hook, allows the genre tropes to mostly work for Until Dawn, not against it

On Swift Horses
(2024)

Robert Kojder

The gambling metaphor allows for some convenient plotting, but this is a thorny, grounded relationship drama that's messily moving

Magic Farm
(2025)

Robert Kojder

Amalia Ulman’s film somewhat ditches the farcical angle while overestimating the extent to which viewers will care about the personal lives of these Americans

The Ugly Stepsister
(2025)

EJ Moreno

A twisted, messed-up fairy tale that truly sells the horror of the original story. Raunchy, gross, and oh so much fun.

The Legend of Ochi
(2025)

Robert Kojder

The quirky touches, lovable Ochi, a refreshingly reliant throwback to practical effects, and a quietly moving climax make The Legend of Ochi worthwhile. It’s a pleasant, sweet breath of fresh air among family-friendly and modern films

The Accountant 2
(2025)
|
Robert Kojder
|
It’s not good that The Accountant 2, ostensibly an action-based crime mystery, is usually only entertaining when it’s less concerned with serious-minded plotting and more about goofing off

The Shrouds
(2024)
|
Robert Kojder
|
Even when The Shrouds does feel narratively chaotic, it has that Cronenbergian originality and boldness alongside a transfixing pull, and knows what it wants to say about grief and modern technology

G20
(2025)
|
Daniel Rester
|
Despite the strong performances by Davis and Starr, G20 is a streaming film unworthy of their talents. A president-versus-terrorists film full of action should be really entertaining, but G20 is dull and familiar at most turns.

Ryan Coogler expands on previously explored themes of freedom and racism with a genre twist in spellbinding Sinners. It's pure, awe-inspiring movie magic

The Wedding Banquet

The beauty of The Wedding Banquet is in its exploration of these messy characters while arriving at a touching conclusion entirely in conversation with the concept of found family

Zero

Zero is a slight step down from Saloum, but its still an impressive enough project from Herbulot, with plenty of humor, thrills, and flashy visuals.

Drop

Despite a rock-solid modern tech mystery thriller premise, to call director Christopher Landon’s Drop absurd, annoying, and unconvincing would be an understatement. The drop in quality for the filmmaker is steep

The Amateur
(2025)

Rami Malek is captivating in The Amateur, comfortable in each of its tones, but the narrative miscalculations pile up, and while it is appreciatively grounded in humanity, it drops the ball on the real emotional core of this story

The Uninvited

Sacramento
(2024)

A well-acted and touching, funny tale of rekindled friendship elevated by chemistry and a sense that the material is grounded in something personal. Even during its lesser moments, Michael Angarano and Michael Cera find emotional truths

The King of Kings
(2025)

A 100-minute Sunday school lesson that doesn’t approach the material in a fun, complex, or dazzling way for younger viewers, mostly content hastily running through Jesus Christ’s famous miracles without placing them in a greater context

Death of a Unicorn
(2025)

The premise for Death of a Unicom is so catchy it’s almost enough to carry the movie, especially with Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd riffing off one another, but everything is one-note, and it takes its initially funny jokes and beats them like a dead unicorn
