Mercy (2026) 24% 2/5 EDIT “A brisk, reasonably enjoyable thriller that offers a timely twist on the screenlife genre. It just doesn’t stay with us.” – Reel Reviews Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “What makes Is This Thing On? resonate is its refusal to declare a winner or loser in divorce. It’s not about falling out of love so much as what love looks like when it changes shape. ” – Reel Reviews Jan 9, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Feels less like a road trip movie and more like a pilgrimage through emotional trauma” – Reel Reviews Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “The Housemaid is about folding people’s expectations into nice, neat little piles… and then lighting them on fire.” – Reel Reviews Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Glitter, fringe, cheesy grins, and all, it’s an ode to second chances, wrapped in the shimmering key of Diamond” – Reel Reviews Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A story about what we make of love after it shatters, and how grief can transform into art” – Reel Reviews Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 5/5 EDIT “Refuses to let you breathe for two solid hours. And honestly? We kind of love it for that!” – Reel Reviews Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Beneath the chaos, the head-shaving, and the alien accusations, the film finds something heartbreakingly human: a yearning for connection in a world that’s lost its hive mind. ” – Reel Reviews Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Violent Ends (2025) 67% 5/5 EDIT “A revenge thriller that actually has a heart. Brutal, beautiful, and bursting with Southern soul” – Reel Reviews Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 2/5 EDIT “It’s an intimate premise for sure, but the execution wobbles between soulful introspection and straight-up navel-gazing.” – Reel Reviews Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Steve (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Steve doesn’t preach or offer tidy resolutions; it just lies down with the messiness of being human and lets us feel it.” – Reel Reviews Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Roofman is the best kind of true story: one that makes you Google the real guy the second the credits roll.” – Reel Reviews Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 3/5 EDIT “A hilarious encore that plays the hits, tries out a few new riffs, and never loses sight of the joke. It’s a reminder that Spinal Tap, much like rock itself, will never truly fade away—it’ll just keep turning things up to eleven.” – Reel Reviews Sep 18, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Francis Lawrence has built a career making kids suffer for our entertainment (The Hunger Games films, anyone?), and with The Long Walk, he may have found his bleak masterpiece.” – Reel Reviews Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Not as iconic as the 1989 version, but still worth seeing. Come for Colman and Cumberbatch’s sparks, stay for McNamara’s wicked dialogue. Just don’t expect to leave entirely unscathed.” – Reel Reviews Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “The Philippous set the table with familiar cutlery, then carve new shapes - sometimes quite literally.” – Reel Reviews Aug 14, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “While nostalgia can be powerful, the film sometimes feels trapped by its own legacy, afraid to venture too far from the established formula.” – Reel Reviews Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% 4/5 EDIT “Those seeking traditional narrative satisfaction or clear moral guidance will leave disappointed. But for viewers willing to sit with a bit of discomfort and examine their own digital habits, the film offers something more valuable: recognition.” – Reel Reviews Jul 18, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 75% 2/5 EDIT “We are asked to believe that there is a lucrative industry in the grief of those who would pay to watch the decomposition of their loved one’s bodies. That’s a stretch and I’m not buying it… especially two full hours of it.” – Reel Reviews Jul 11, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 4/5 EDIT “This adrenaline-fueled film is a powerful reminder that in Formula 1, speed, as in life, isn’t everything. The heart behind the wheel is what truly drives champions.” – Reel Reviews Jun 27, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Boyle elevates "auteur horror" to thrilling new heights, blending the raw, visceral terror fans loved in the original film with deeper explorations of survival, human nature, and the consequences of prolonged isolation.” – Reel Reviews Jun 20, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Ultimately, Flanagan’s latest film reminds us of one simple truth: in life, it’s the little things that matter most.” – Reel Reviews Jun 13, 2025 Full Review The Phoenician Scheme (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “While The Phoenician Scheme ranks as mid-level Anderson fare at best, it’s an undeniable ode to his creative genius, reminding us why his work continues to captivate audiences. Come for the chaos, stay for the charm.” – Reel Reviews Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 2/5 EDIT “Both a thrilling spectacle and a flawed conclusion to a beloved franchise.” – Reel Reviews May 23, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Let’s not fail to recognize the performance of "Bing" the canine actor behind Apollo, who was discovered after a six-month-long search. His performance forms the emotional core of the movie, showcasing his undeniable talent and making him a true standout.” – Reel Reviews May 16, 2025 Full Review
