Troll 2 (2025) 58% EDIT “A rollicking good time, a completely fresh take on the monster movie that definitely has the potential to become one of Netflix’s most impressive imports.” – Inverse Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 100% EDIT “This duo has always asked the question of, “What if Nathan Fielder was an ambitious band kid?” and in this movie we get our answer through Tom Cruise-esque stunts and ridiculous moments of self-reflection and self-parody in the same breath.” – Inverse Oct 31, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% EDIT “This is the next evolution of this subgenre, and could be Netflix’s next Knives Out.” – Inverse Sep 4, 2025 Full Review War of the Worlds (2025) 4% EDIT “If an Orson-Welles-style immersive thriller was the goal, then this movie falls woefully short.” – Inverse Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Heads of State (2025) 68% EDIT “Heads of State doesn’t exactly deliver in writing, but its gorgeous action sequences and self-aware tone prove that this isn’t something to throw on — it’s a testament to the action-comedy genre.” – Inverse Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Deep Cover (2025) 90% EDIT “This isn’t just better than most Prime Video original movies — in fact, it may be the best action-comedy thriller in years.” – Inverse Jun 14, 2025 Full Review Mountainhead (2025) 74% EDIT “A fly-on-the-wall hangout movie for the first act, that all comes crumbling down in a way Hitchcock would be proud of if he started listening to Jordan Peterson lectures.” – Inverse Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) 27% EDIT “Fear Street is back from the grave with a new installment that makes one huge swing but plays everything else disappointingly safe, down to the smallest detail.” – Inverse May 29, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% EDIT “With Havoc, what you see is what you get: non-stop fight scenes with just enough plot to keep you emotionally invested. It may not have a setting or much worldbuilding, but that doesn’t matter — you’re there to watch Tom Hardy, well, wreak havoc.” – Inverse Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 14% EDIT “Underneath its samey story and MCU-quip-a-thon dialogue is something that’s increasingly rare to find in movies with a similar standing: originality.” – Inverse Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Time Cut (2024) 26% EDIT “Netflix’s latest horror movie manages to avoid being boring by not only including a twist in the basic premise, but multiple plot twists throughout to keep you on your toes.” – Inverse Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Woman of the Hour (2023) 91% EDIT “Bright, cheery, and floral, but it never lets you forget that as normal as its environment looks, it’s full of terror.” – Inverse Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Uglies (2024) 14% EDIT “A series of glossy montages and sleek aesthetics, none of which can hide the clunky dialogue, simplistic worldbuilding, and questionable CGI.” – Inverse Sep 13, 2024 Full Review The Instigators (2024) 41% EDIT “With an all-star cast and a pretty solid premise, it should be hard to mess up, but The Instigators’ shaky script and confusing directing choices turn what could have been a return to form into another nail in a coffin.” – Inverse Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Sting (2024) 70% EDIT “It’s a paint-by-numbers creature feature, but it goes over the lines in a distracting way.” – Inverse Apr 10, 2024 Full Review The People's Joker (2022) 96% EDIT “Its distinct style and coherent worldbuilding make for a movie that can’t really be compared to anything else, despite the fact so much of it is borrowed from the works of Batmen past — and it’s exactly what jaded superhero fans need to witness.” – Inverse Apr 2, 2024 Full Review The Animal Kingdom (2023) 83% EDIT “The film takes its X-Men-style message of the superpowered being discriminated against, and treats it with the sincerity of any fledgling indie coming-of-age movie.” – Inverse Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% EDIT “Heathers meets Weird Science in this frothy fun debut.” – Inverse Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Orion and the Dark (2024) 91% EDIT “Despite its candy-colored façade, its exploration of the powerful effects of storytelling makes Orion and the Dark one of the most thought-provoking movies of 2024.” – Inverse Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Self Reliance (2023) 73% EDIT “It’s the fever dream version of one man’s journey to healing, but why would you want to watch any other version? This one’s way more fun.” – Inverse Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Leave the World Behind (2023) 73% EDIT ““Netflix satire on Netflix” has already been done — and done far better — in Black Mirror Season 6. ” – Inverse Dec 8, 2023 Full Review The Artifice Girl (2022) 92% EDIT “This movie recognizes that AI is scary and intimidating, but it also recognizes how that fact says more about human nature than it does some looming technological overlord... It’s this humanity that this film touches on, and then twists deliciously.” – Inverse Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Divinity (2023) 57% EDIT “Eraserhead meets Frankenstein by way of a perfume ad.” – Inverse Oct 15, 2023 Full Review No One Will Save You (2023) 83% EDIT “Instead of a challenge of filmmaking, it instead becomes a maximalist adventure that is just as confusing as it is experimental. ” – Inverse Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Landscape with Invisible Hand (2023) 72% EDIT “Landscape With Invisible Hand is the perfect answer to the sci-fi franchise machine, and exactly what we need in 2023.” – Inverse Aug 17, 2023 Full Review
