Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% B- EDIT “‘Wicked: For Good’ manages to condemn fascism despite rushed and questionable conclusion. The second half feels scattered and a bit lopsided, but powerful performances and memorable musical numbers soften the blow.” – People's World Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 92% B EDIT “The drama explores systemic racial trauma with cinematic grace and beauty despite the ugly history it boldly explores.” – People's World Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Norita (2024) A EDIT “Nora Morales de Cortiñas’s story is a strong and bright thread in the layered, colorful tapestry of a crucial historical era in Argentina. The film is a deep reflection, a warning, and ultimately a call to action.” – People's World Oct 29, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% B+ EDIT “While not everything is fully fleshed out to satisfaction, the amazing cinematography and mixture of dark humor and subtle commentary on political ideologies and tactics make for a thrilling ride, with the cinematic flair of a modern-day Western film. ” – People's World Oct 4, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% A- EDIT “If you’re looking for escapism with this Stephen King adaptation, look elsewhere. This movie definitely holds a mirror up to our society and its extreme political divisions and violence. It's brutal and meant for engaged viewing.” – People's World Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% B+ EDIT “It’s a refreshing take on a character so ingrained in the cultural fabric of the United States. The film never takes itself too seriously, yet it manages to tell a compelling story relevant to our current political landscape.” – People's World Jul 16, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% C- EDIT “Some key emotional moments stand out, but overall, it’s a dreary movie that feels more like a setup for the next franchise installment, thus depriving cinema-goers of a full-bodied storytelling experience. ” – People's World Jul 11, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% A EDIT “Those expecting a horror film with the usual tropes may be disappointed, but those willing to let the franchise tell a new story will undoubtedly have a fun time. It explores the dangers of AI and human nature with thrills and unapologetic attitude. ” – People's World Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print (2025) 94% B+ EDIT “It’s a raw and heartfelt celebration of the power of the press. The series isn’t a fluff piece about the magazine but an honest reflection of a publication that was crucial to the growth and accomplishments of the feminist movement.” – People's World Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Dog of God (2025) 87% B EDIT “Religious corruption, sexism, witch trials, and other horrors, both ordinary and supernatural, come together for a most memorable tale. It has a lot to say—even when all it tries to convey isn’t completely clear.” – People's World Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Bodyguard of Lies (2025) A EDIT “'Bodyguard of Lies' delivers a sharp and intense account of systemic deception as it details the manipulative propaganda fed to the American public regarding the war in Afghanistan. It is both a fascinating and infuriating watch.” – People's World Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Sovereign (2025) 95% B+ EDIT “'Sovereign' is tough to watch, yet hard to look away from. The crime drama takes viewers on a tragic ride with a father-son duo on a collision course with ruin, telling a layered story with raw intensity and nuance.” – People's World Jun 10, 2025 Full Review I Was Born This Way (2025) 100% A EDIT “'I Was Born This Way' is a wild, emotional, and powerful ride through impactful moments in history through the lens of an equally impactful life of a man who picked love over hate and activism over mainstream fame and fortune.” – People's World Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Paris Is Burning (1990) 98% A EDIT “The ballroom scene may seem niche to the uninitiated, but 'Paris is Burning' makes it clear that it’s ingrained in the fabric of this country’s culture—past and present. ” – People's World Jun 4, 2025 Full Review The Surrender (2025) 85% B EDIT “It's an intimate story with broader social connections that stops all too short of diving into these social implications, settling instead on familiar territory, resulting in a compelling horror story that leaves some of its potential not fully realized.” – People's World May 23, 2025 Full Review Metropolis (1927) 97% B- EDIT “The epic silent movie, with its larger-than-life sets, explored themes of working-class struggle, exploitation, industrial revolution, aggressive technological advancement, and the growing wealth gap between the rich and the poor with vigor.” – People's World May 9, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% A+ EDIT “'Sinners' leans into imaginative storytelling, resulting in a compelling original story that lures us in with terror and keeps us captivated with the very human condition at the heart of it all.” – People's World May 2, 2025 Full Review Queens of Drama (2024) 86% B+ EDIT “The film takes no prisoners as it condemns patriarchal norms, homophobia, and hegemony. The result is a chaotic musical odyssey with dark humor and biting social commentary.” – People's World Apr 14, 2025 Full Review The Actor (2025) 78% A EDIT “It’s better than the overused critic term “a love letter to cinema”; instead, it is a beautifully honest letter to the human condition.” – People's World Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Queen of the Ring (2024) 73% B+ EDIT “'Queen of the Ring' is filled with plenty of melodrama balanced with an uplifting message and a relevant spotlight on a part of history not always explored in mainstream media. Rickards's stand-out performance anchors the strong ensemble cast.” – People's World Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% B+ EDIT “It is an action-packed journey with plenty of political espionage that lays an excellent foundation for higher-stakes stories in the future. The film isn’t a masterpiece, but doesn’t need to be. ” – People's World Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (2025) 75% B- EDIT “It would be easy to dismiss the doc as a cash grab indulging society’s desire to gawk the eccentric. Yet, the sensationalized, ridiculous, and—interestingly enough—sometimes touching film inadvertently lends itself to a more significant conversation.” – People's World Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% B- EDIT “Although it falls short of landing the broader socio-political punch of the 1922 and 1979 films, Nosferatu (2024) is a beautifully gothic cinematic journey with many engrossing themes, such as isolation and female suppression. ” – People's World Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% D EDIT “The outstanding performances in this musical/psychological thriller can’t save the film from itself. The movie is overly aimless, self-indulgent, and miserable in the hopes that the audience will forget that it doesn’t seem to have a plot.” – People's World Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% A EDIT “The movie touches on several themes, like exploitation, corruption, and worker empowerment, in an engaging, entertaining, and fun way for the whole family. Viewers would be wrong to dismiss Transformers One as a “mindless’ cash-grab kids movie. ” – People's World Sep 13, 2024 Full Review
