Movies TV Shows
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a passable, if forgettable, watch for genre devotees, but those who aren’t already fans of the book or the rom-com formula will struggle with the lacklustre writing.” – Frame Rated Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “While it slightly overstays its welcome, it is never boring and remains entirely unpredictable. You will never know where the story is headed next, nor what word will next fly out of Marty’s mouth.” – Frame Rated Jan 4, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “Brewer’s film is a love letter to karaoke culture, pub singers, and tribute acts. He never mocks Mike and Claire, nor does he belittle their world. Instead, he treats their performances and dreams as if they were any other genre of music.” – Frame Rated Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a heart-warming and often emotional film about the power of story, and how people can live on through story (even if it’s not told first-hand). ” – Frame Rated Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% B- EDIT “While Dead Man’s Wire feels like it could have been made in 1977, the ideas speak very much to the modern world. It’s a scathing takedown of the American dream and the idea that anyone can get rich if they work hard. ” – Nerdspin Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “Eternity is a rare thing in 2025 Hollywood, it’s a creative, original story that isn’t trying to cash in on existing IP or demands 10 more sequels for the ending to make sense. ” – Movies We Texted About Dec 4, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% A EDIT “Mary Brownstein delivers an unflinching portrayal of the guilt of motherhood, saying the quiet bit out loud. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You isn’t a palatable film for everyone. It’s more uninhibited than women in American cinema are commonly allowed. ” – Nerdspin Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Wake Up Dead Man explores the human need to believe in someone. But fear not, Johnson still delivers the same mystery format one expects from the franchise, just with a little more God involved. ” – Frame Rated Nov 23, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 68% C EDIT “Julia Jackman’s historical fantasy 100 Nights of Hero is an aesthetically pleasing queer feminist fairytale, but does it have much to say beneath the pastel veneer? Probably not as much as it thinks it does.” – Nerdspin Nov 23, 2025 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 78% EDIT “There are two types of British films about grief. They are either overly sentimental and earnest, or they are bitterly realistic. H for Hawk is the latter. It never delves into mawkishness, and it never becomes overly sentimental. ” – Movies We Texted About Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Much like a magic show, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t requires the audience to sit back, suspend their disbelief, and go along with the spectacle.” – Frame Rated Nov 20, 2025 Full Review A Pale View of Hills (2025) 63% EDIT “Ultimately, A Pale View of Hills suffers from the pitfalls of adapting literature for the big screen. It simply can’t penetrate the psyche of repressed and ambiguous characters to maintain the nuance without distancing the audience.” – Movies We Texted About Nov 19, 2025 Full Review She's the He (2025) 100% EDIT “While people will come to She’s the He for the high school comedy, they will find themselves moved by the human story of two teenagers trying to find themselves. ” – Movies We Texted About Nov 19, 2025 Full Review The Fence (2025) 70% EDIT “ An acquired taste of a movie, The Fence is a slow but tense character study that forces its players to confront their own morals.” – Movies We Texted About Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% EDIT “Meticulously created but shallow, Nouvelle Vague is a fleeting glimpse at the making of Breathless that will please fan, and introduce a new audience to French New Wave cinema.” – Movies We Texted About Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Rose of Nevada (2025) 100% B- EDIT “While Rose of Nevada is Jenkin’s most accessible work to date, he hasn’t compromised his signature style to appease audiences.” – Nerdspin Nov 9, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 90% EDIT “At 158 minutes runtime, The Secret Agent feels half the length. Mendonça Filho has somehow managed to create a film that is almost three hours long and barely feels two” – That Hashtag Show Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Silent Friend (2025) 100% 70% EDIT “Silent Friend is an entrancing experience best enjoyed when you sit back and let it wash over you. Enyedi knows how to create a visual experience, mixing poetic dialogue, deadpan humor, and a calming soundtrack. ” – That Hashtag Show Nov 3, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% 90% EDIT “It Was Just An Accident reinvents the revenge thriller as a layered character study about forgiving the people who committed the worst crimes possible. ” – That Hashtag Show Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 70% EDIT “Sentimental Value uses filmmaking as a tool to repair families, but it puts up a wall between the characters and the audience.” – That Hashtag Show Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% EDIT “Although it takes a little long to warm up and lasts one scene too many, Is This Thing On? is a surprisingly affecting film about a lonely man discovering himself through comedy and its community. ” – Movies We Texted About Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 60% EDIT “ The writing gives the audience no reason to care about Jay, his family, and his team. Forcing an emotional connection with manipulative montages.” – That Hashtag Show Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 45% EDIT “Jim Jarmusch’s writing takes the easy way out by refusing to execute any resolution. A film of first acts and no second or third acts is a frustrating tease.” – That Hashtag Show Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% 80% EDIT “Pillion is a heartwarming coming-of-age drama that just happens to take place in the world of BDSM. Harry Lighton’s script explores their dynamic with a sensitive hand, never glamorizing or shaming anyone involved. ” – That Hashtag Show Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Plainclothes (2025) 83% EDIT “Plainclothes is a film which works on different levels. It’s a sexy psychodrama about hidden love affairs and inner shame, but it’s also a much-needed reminder of recent queer history. ” – Movies We Texted About Oct 24, 2025 Full Review
