H Is for Hawk (2025) 78% 2.5/5 EDIT “H is for Hawk ultimately stays low to the ground once it takes off, struggling to reckon with the feelings it evokes.” – Asynchronous Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Underneath the blood and guts is a beautifully layered depiction of a society trying to find its way forward and a fitting chapter in this delirious saga of civilization breaking down.” – Asynchronous Media Jan 20, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hilditch’s economical screenplay is far smarter than the average horror film that leans on special effects or a single clever concept to set itself apart.” – Asynchronous Media Jan 19, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “With plenty of eyecandy for animation aficionados and propulsive action bolstered by a strong thematic presence, All You Need Is Kill carries its heart into battle with a clear eye towards the future of mankind.” – Asynchronous Media Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% 3/5 EDIT “While it may not be the most effective at what it does, it delivers a sturdy enough spectacle that is slightly nerve-racking and mostly entertaining.” – Asynchronous Media Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Van Sant’s return to feature filmmaking after a seven-year hiatus is sturdy, reliable work, even when it sometimes feels too riled up to nail down its thematic potency.” – Asynchronous Media Jan 14, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Every time it feels like it has something poignant to say, it’s muffled by the inescapable desire to be uncontroversial.” – Asynchronous Media Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “Ben Hania not only succeeds in creating something vital but also demonstrates the ways in which dramatization can be as effective and essential as documentary filmmaking.” – Asynchronous Media Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 2.5/5 EDIT “Nuremberg wastes an exceptional Russell Crowe performance and interesting perspectives on the inception of the Nuremberg trials for a weightless cavalcade of digestible quips and a shallow parallel to the modern political climate.” – Asynchronous Media Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Dickinson’s influences are worn firmly on his debut’s sleeve, but he doesn’t rest on simply evoking the texture and feel of past directors’ works.” – Asynchronous Media Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Nouvelle Vague is a breezy journey through the beginnings of the French New Wave and a call to arms for aspiring filmmakers to pick up their cameras and make a movie.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Blue Heron is a remarkably assured feature debut that cleverly plays with form to staggering effect.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Hawke’s portrayal of the famed lyricist is so deliciously nuanced that it makes you feel for him just as much as you hate his ego.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 23, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Panahi continues to be one of the most vital voices in cinema today, and It Was Just an Accident represents a director whose tonal departure still works confidently towards the same defiance of letting oppressors take what little humanity one has left.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kiss of the Spider Woman maintains a tonal balance between fantasy and reality, whilst delivering the kind of musical spectacle that only film can provide.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Coyotes (2025) 59% 2.5/5 EDIT “Minihan’s latest is a silly horror-thriller that squanders most of its potential in the name of cheap thrills and even cheaper effects.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “By exploring not just how the perspective would shift, but how the tone of the film would also be transformed, Good Boy’s canine companion’s journey resonates strongly through the attempt to save a lost soul from unimaginable suffering.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Play Dirty (2025) 42% 3/5 EDIT “An entertaining enough romp through the thieves’ den, Play Dirty might find an audience over time, but it never quite sets itself apart from recent action comedies—which is an ironic fate for a Shane Black film.” – Asynchronous Media Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Carolina Caroline (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Another dependably heartfelt addition to Rehmeier’s impressive survey of Americana, Carolina Caroline is a cross-country Bonnie and Clyde riff that leverages the chemistry of its stars and a breezy screenplay” – Asynchronous Media Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Obsession (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Through confident direction, a chaotic and unnerving lead performance from Inde Navarrette, and an ingenious skewering of relationship dynamics, Barker immediately establishes himself as a fresh and exciting voice within horror.” – Asynchronous Media Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Forastera (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Aleñar Iglesias’ screenplay is acutely aware of the role of mourning in the healing process. The outcome is a graceful execution and a touching conclusion in a movie that embraces its pain to find something truly cathartic in its wake.” – Asynchronous Media Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Blue Trail (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “An eclectic, jazzy score and lush visuals of Amazonian waterways, covered in a thick jungle canopy, accent a unique and resonant film that rebukes a predetermined future and celebrates life’s never-ending revelations.” – Asynchronous Media Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Junk World (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “The craft remains unassailable, but Hori’s surprise return to the Junk Head universe is a case of diminishing returns despite some truly awe-inspiring set pieces and a commitment to its worldbuilding that is rarely seen in this kind of film.” – Asynchronous Media Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Karmadonna (2025) 1.5/5 EDIT “Radivojević’s maximalist holy crusade is a silly rampage of extreme finger-pointing that is painfully boring in execution.” – Asynchronous Media Sep 16, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “Unsurprisingly incisive in its commentary on late-stage capitalism as a form of soul-sucking warfare, No Other Choice channels Park’s devilish wit through an incredibly empathetic performance by Lee.” – Asynchronous Media Sep 15, 2025 Full Review
