In Cold Light (2025) 43% EDIT “Patrick Whistler's script is muddy, the baddies ill-defined, and the talents of Kotsur and Monroe, ill-served. ” – New York Times Jan 22, 2026 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% EDIT “A bawdy metaphor for democracy under threat, “A Useful Ghost” has a delightful, frisky energy that coexists peacefully with the beautiful melancholy of its central love affair as March comes to terms with his wife’s new job.” – New York Times Jan 15, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% EDIT “Occasionally cute and almost instantly forgettable, “People,” tidily directed by Brett Haley, offers less-than-witty dialogue and flyby turns by Alan Ruck and a typically excessive Molly Shannon as Poppy’s parents.” – New York Times Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “The couple’s earnestness sounds mockable, but it’s not: They are too sincere, too joyful and too grateful to be doing the only thing that either of them ever wanted to do.” – New York Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% EDIT “With a cast this likable and adroit, not even the soundtrack’s heavy-handed harping on Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” can dispel our good will. ” – New York Times Dec 18, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “Imogen Poots’s fantastically expressive performance as the adult Lidia transforms this movie (the feature directing debut of Kristen Stewart) from punishing to mesmerizing.” – New York Times Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “The leads, though, never quite gel.” – New York Times Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “Rental Family is as sweet and tender as spring lamb. ” – New York Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% EDIT “If some of the cabin’s lore is on the silly side, Maslany sells Liz’s terror so convincingly that the urge to giggle is dampened. Her lock on the film’s tone is absolute.” – New York Times Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% EDIT “The result is a charming experiment that should delight those who like their pleasures both nostalgic and voyeuristic.” – New York Times Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Love+War (2025) 100% EDIT “Love + War chooses to go wide rather than deep, resulting in a movie that, while pleasingly dynamic, offers less psychological insight than the photographs she has gambled everything to take. And perhaps that’s as it should be.” – New York Times Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Shelby Oaks (2023) 55% EDIT “A witchy crone, a possible incubus and an abandoned amusement park add up to not very much in “Shelby Oaks,” a derivative and dogged horror movie that reverts to rote with wearying regularity.” – New York Times Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% EDIT ““Good Fortune” could have appeared a meanspirited swipe at one-percenters. Yet the cast is so amiable and smoothly in sync, and Ansari’s script so buoyantly paced, that the mood favors kumbaya over kill-the-rich. ” – New York Times Oct 20, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “Wrenching and at times suffocating, “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” is a howl of maternal desperation spiked with jagged humor.” – New York Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review The Ice Tower (2025) 80% EDIT “There’s menace in this movie’s beautiful illusions, and Hadzihalilovic, who reveres silent cinema, presents some of her most trancelike scenes entirely without dialogue.” – New York Times Oct 2, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 15% EDIT “With little furtherance of the plot beyond confusing flashbacks to a creepy childhood triad, “Chapter 2” is hackneyed and silly, relying heavily on Petsch’s sneakily resilient scream queen.” – New York Times Sep 30, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “For a movie about motion, “The Long Walk” feels oddly static, its washed-out images — a dead cow here, some live horses there — leaving the impression of a featureless nowhereland. ” – New York Times Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% EDIT “Finding small pockets of humor among the intrigue and class combat, the movie delivers exactly what “Downton” fans want: yummy photography (by the brilliant Ben Smithard), stunning set pieces and Lady Mary trying on as many fabulous frocks as possible.” – New York Times Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Preparation for the Next Life (2025) 97% EDIT “Warmhearted and wistful, “Preparation for the Next Life” has personal resonance for Liu.” – New York Times Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Sally (2025) 88% EDIT “What’s lacking is style, not substance, as the movie bustles with diverting details. ” – New York Times Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Echo Valley (2025) 52% EDIT “The most relatable being onscreen is the family dog, whose baffled expression at one point I am certain mirrored my own. ” – New York Times Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% EDIT “Directed, with workmanlike efficiency, by Len Wiseman, “Ballerina” is at once insultingly facile and infuriatingly obtuse, its unmodulated tumult leaving little room for nuance or personality.” – New York Times Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “Supernatural fidgeting aside, “Bring Her Back” doubles down on its predecessor’s willingness to punish the innocent. I’m beginning to think that the Philippous don’t just want to shatter our nerves: They want to break our hearts.” – New York Times May 29, 2025 Full Review The Last Rodeo (2025) 69% EDIT “The inclusion of the wonderful Mykelti Williamson, as Joe’s longtime friend and rodeo partner, injects a buddy-movie vibe that anchors the action in riding bouts that are smoothly thrilling without being punishing.” – New York Times May 22, 2025 Full Review The Damned (2024) 64% EDIT ““The Damned” relies on improvised dialogue and a resolute refusal to manufacture tension or good guy-bad guy distinctions. The style is impressionistic and minimalist.” – New York Times May 15, 2025 Full Review
