Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) 7/10 EDIT “Cosmic Princess Kaguya is tremendous for the first 90 minutes. Possessed by frenetic, electrified visuals and heartfelt emotional beats, it’s not a miss, but it’s a shame it comes close to being one.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 23, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 7/10 EDIT “A swift, vibrant science-fiction flick that, at the very least, doesn’t get bogged down in its own fictional redundancy.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% 7/10 EDIT “A breezy, charming, jet-setting rom-com that delights with strong writing and charismatic leads.” – InBetweenDrafts Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (2025) 71% 6/10 EDIT “Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is gorgeous. That was a given. But there’s simply no reason for it, given how it’s structured. Because this isn’t a film.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Dec 7, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 3/10 EDIT “Jay Kelly completely misses the mark. Masquerading as high art, it suffers because it has no interest in truly probing what the story is about.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Dec 7, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% 9/10 EDIT “100 Meters, in its quiet heartbreaks and subtle humor, is tremendous. A breathless and breathtaking example of the limitless possibilities for animation.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 4/10 EDIT “A lumbering, poorly shot slog of a ride that, in its pursuit of epic maximalism, stumbles into dull regurgitation instead.” – InBetweenDrafts Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (2025) 98% 9/10 EDIT “Farsi allows Hassona’s face to tell the story, to lead where it goes through her thoughtful words and ever-shifting expressions. The result is as devastating as it is enraging. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Angel's Egg (1985) 100% 9/10 EDIT “From the opening, introductory moments until the dazzling yet puzzling conclusion, Angel’s Egg embarks on an unlikely operatic, tumultuous journey.” – InBetweenDrafts Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 7.5/10 EDIT “Little Amélie or the Character of Rain is a gorgeously adapted animated film that highlights the natural world and our place in it through its diminutive protagonist.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Nov 6, 2025 Full Review The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) 42% C- EDIT “...while it’s hardly a catastrophic mess, the adaptation – based on the 1992 film of the same name – is a lackluster, at times aggravating, mess. ” – The Playlist Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 7.5/10 EDIT “Thought-provoking, unexpectedly funny, and rich with life, Urchin is a promising debut from a talent just at the start of his career.” – InBetweenDrafts Oct 14, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% 4/10 EDIT “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey fails to sustain itself from the moment go. The film is bright and vibrant but lacks the grandiosity necessary to sweep us along.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Hei 2 (2025) 8/10 EDIT “The Legend of Hei II is both a rousing story about the fortitude of found families and the nimble and diverse stories animation can tell. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Terrestrial (2025) 75% 6.5/10 EDIT “The film delivers on some interesting, ugly truths about the horrors of the creative process and, worse, mediocrity. ” – InBetweenDrafts Jul 24, 2025 Full Review The Old Guard 2 (2025) 27% 5.5/10 EDIT “Despite its best efforts, it can’t seem to even scale the lowest bar set for it, to, at the very least, be fun. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% 5/10 EDIT “There’s realism, and then there’s cold, calculated detachment. It’s the latter of which the misguided and tonally vapid 'Materialists' falls into.” – InBetweenDrafts Jun 18, 2025 Full Review DAN DA DAN: Evil Eye (2025) 8.5/10 EDIT “Bombastic in the direction without ever forgoing the intimacy and character work at its core, DanDaDan Evil Eye relentlessly plunges us straight back into joyous madness.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 7/10 EDIT “Thunderbolts succeeds in spite of Marvel’s built in hurdles and its uneven script. The film remembers that our love of superheroes doesn’t stem from what these overpowered beings can do but what these humans who become icons overcame to earn the title.” – InBetweenDrafts May 7, 2025 Full Review Bullet Train Explosion (2025) 67% 6/10 EDIT “Bullet Train Explosion has a fun premise, but is stifled by its building blocks. Cold and detached, the film’s lack of energy bogs it down.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Apr 25, 2025 Full Review WITCH WATCH: Watch Party (2025) 8/10 EDIT “Possessing endless laughs and a fun, lighthearted atmosphere, Witch Watch delights.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Mar 29, 2025 Full Review The Colors Within (2024) 92% 10/10 EDIT “ Observational and deeply empathetic, the film unravels with a steady, rhythmic beat.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Mar 29, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 9/10 EDIT “Black Bag is a gorgeous film that deliciously luxuriates in its actors’ natural magnetism and charisma.” – InBetweenDrafts Mar 16, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 8/10 EDIT “Mickey 17 is a messy yet admirable addition to Bong Joon Ho’s ambitious filmography.” – InBetweenDrafts Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Cleaner (2025) 51% 5/10 EDIT “Cleaner (2025) believes it has something important to say, and that’s its downfall. If it had simply leaned into the silliness and offered more time to perfect the action, it would be a worthwhile action flick.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Feb 17, 2025 Full Review
