Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% EDIT “Of course, the fact that the film remains warmly engaging throughout its runtime is a major testament to both Whishaw and Hall’s talents.” – them. Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “Indeed, it’s DaCosta’s absolutely fearless take on the classic play that makes this an electric showcase for Thompson — particularly through its newfound sapphic storyline.” – them. Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Bambi: The Reckoning (2025) 63% EDIT “The outlandish premise alone makes Bambi: The Reckoning the perfect thing to throw on while under some kind of influence in a friend’s basement.” – The Daily Beast Aug 1, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% EDIT “In 2025, flesh-and-blood performers are a whole lot more watchable than the studio’s dated 2010 character designs.” – The Daily Beast Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Karate Kid: Legends (2025) 58% EDIT “Putting aside the more obvious reality that Sony wanted a reliable summer moneymaker, Karate Kid: Legends justifies its existence by espousing the value of passing on your knowledge to others as a means of not only connection, but self-actualization.” – The Daily Beast Jun 11, 2025 Full Review I Was Honey Boo Boo (2025) EDIT “If the film itself is a paint-by-numbers biopic of exploitation, familial strife, and eventual catharsis, it at least manages to stand on its own by letting Thompson finally tell us that story in her own words.” – The Daily Beast Jun 11, 2025 Full Review The Unbreakable Boy (2025) 43% EDIT “Especially at a moment like this, The Unbreakable Boy would’ve been better off left on Lionsgate’s servers.” – The Daily Beast Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Hold Your Breath (2024) 40% EDIT “Less successful is first-time feature directors Crouse and Joines’s handle on its genre storytelling...as much as a grounded Paulson commits, this cycle of repetitive fake outs manages to make this unique horror setting feel utterly forgettable.” – Chicago Reader Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night (2024) 77% EDIT “After all, this is comedy coming from the first generation who grew up with television. That might have been true in 1975, but if you're looking for any of that energy in 2024, you'd be better off watching old sketches on YouTube...” – Chicago Reader Oct 16, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% EDIT “Your enjoyment of the movie will chiefly depend on willing you are to buy into its absurdist heightened reality, which has very little interest in anything resembling real-life 2024. ” – them. Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Crossing (2024) 97% EDIT “Levan Akin’s second film brings depth and eloquence to a simple premise.” – Chicago Reader Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Saltburn (2023) 72% EDIT “While there are traces of underlying poison laced throughout these sumptuous visuals, Saltburn is more invested in its own aesthetics than it is in its ostensible class satire. ” – them. Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Bottoms (2023) 91% EDIT “... If you’ve ever found yourself longing for a film that jammed the shamelessly goofy horndog antics of teen sex comedies and the surrealism of films like Heathers into a very gay, very bloody package, Bottoms is the film you’ve been waiting for.” – them. Aug 24, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% EDIT “Barbie might not be an overtly queer film, but at the end of the day, its campy heart owes a whole lot to the dolls.” – them. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Men (2022) 69% EDIT “A better film wouldn’t boil down to “The patriarchy, am I right?”” – them. Nov 1, 2022 Full Review We're All Going to the World's Fair (2021) 91% EDIT “Schoenbrun’s ability to capture how these liminal online spaces can change us over time announces an exciting new voice in found-footage and trans filmmaking.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Titane (2021) 90% EDIT “Throughout its runtime, Titane is unafraid to challenge the conventions of queer and trans storytelling. ” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Raw (2016) 93% EDIT “In juxtaposing her main character’s sexual awakening with her burgeoning cannibalism, director Julie Durconeau challenges the often fraught relationship between female violence and sexuality in horror.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Bride of Frankenstein (1935) 98% EDIT “It’s no secret that monsters have always appealed to queer folks who see themselves in an “other” that fights eradication, and Bride understands that sentiment perfectly.” – them. Oct 26, 2022 Full Review Do Revenge (2022) 86% EDIT “While some of the film’s late-stage twists don’t feel entirely earned, Do Revenge is an entertaining, Gen Z-style update to the tart teen classics of the ‘90s.” – Decider Sep 16, 2022 Full Review
