Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 1.5/5 EDIT “Instead of getting lost in this psychological labyrinth, its lack of impact lands with an unfortunately hollow thud.” – WeHo Times Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “The Plague is more of a dramatic thriller than an outright horror film, but it’s a suffocating experience that blurs the line between them.” – WeHo Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 2.5/5 EDIT “The egregious use of narration strips the story of dramatic revelations, refusing to interrogate Ann’s spirituality, intention, or her hypocrisies.” – WeHo Times Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Spectacle continues to operate on an unparalleled level, but the growing franchise should allow the narrative to evolve.” – WeHo Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “A humble dramedy with an authentic heart wrapped in an unremarkable casing.” – WeHo Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “No Other Choice dismantles the modern job market’s obsolescence of qualified workers, using black comedy as a coping mechanism to deal with the desperation and quiet humiliation of forced economic displacement.” – WeHo Times Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s a cinematic strike of lightning that leaves your nerves fried in what is undoubtedly one of the best movies of the year.” – WeHo Times Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Man Finds Tape (2025) 82% 2.5/5 EDIT “It gets off to a terrifying start, but what follows somehow overplays its hand while simultaneously underexplaining its lore.” – WeHo Times Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Don’t mistake Hamnet for another Shakespearean tale…this is ultimately a film about how humanity confronts the worst imaginable grief, from which there is no return.” – WeHo Times Nov 26, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 3/5 EDIT “Just as The Secret Agent reaches its most gripping realizations, it’s over. Too much of what comes before feels like it’s simply moving through the motions, not entirely connecting into a cohesive whole.” – WeHo Times Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “The morals behind "Rental Family" aren’t so easy to unpack, and it’s in this complexity that Hikari finds a story truly worth telling.” – WeHo Times Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “It’s ultimately weighed down by its tendency to gloss over crucial dramatic moments and the consequences they’re meant to carry, favoring eye-roll-inducing fan service over lucid storytelling.” – WeHo Times Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “This riveting pendulum of a film swings back and forth between haunting drama and despair-laced horror. Quiet characterizations fill the space amid the frenzied to and fro, making that propulsive ending all the more chilling.” – WeHo Times Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “Sentimental Value shows a quieter side of Joachim Trier…it is invigorating to see how he continues to grow as an artist who pushes and stretches his creative muscles to tackle complex textures of emotion.” – WeHo Times Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Predator: Badlands lacks the grit of Prey and the relentless viciousness of Killer of Killers, but it offers a unique perspective on a long-running franchise, along with meaningful stakes and effective emotional beats.” – WeHo Times Nov 5, 2025 Full Review We Believe You (2025) 4/5 EDIT “We Believe You is a gripping directorial debut with razor-sharp precision — not just tugging on the heartstrings, but slicing right through them.” – WeHo Times Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 95% 3/5 EDIT “More effective as a vignette than a full-length feature, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo is a lyrical Western that reminds us why we should continue to love, even in a world filled with so much hatred.” – WeHo Times Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Shelby Oaks (2023) 55% 1.5/5 EDIT “Shelby Oaks gets lost in the weeds of tired horror tropes, diluting the early frights and eerie atmosphere into a flavorless concoction.” – WeHo Times Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “Deviating from the tired eat-the-rich movies of late, Bugonia is a mesmerizing takedown of humanity, brimming with tension and pitch-black comedy. ” – WeHo Times Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Tinsman Road (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “There’s nothing more terrifying than anguish in this found footage gem, more interested in its haunting tapestry of sorrow and longing than it is in short-lived scares.” – WeHo Times Oct 16, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Despite the heavy gravity of Panahi’s subject matter, he approaches this revenge thriller with glimmers of unexpected optimism and empathy.” – WeHo Times Oct 13, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a film unafraid to express ugly truths without casting prejudice on its lead character for feeling them.” – WeHo Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT “A tragic drama that wields hope like a knife slowly piercing the heart.” – WeHo Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 1.5/5 EDIT “Too much of Tron: Ares is spent in our world, shedding its enthralling digital worldbuilding in favor of an AI Pinocchio story. ” – WeHo Times Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 3/5 EDIT “As far as biopics go, it’s a serviceable one with an impressive lead performance, but the impact is more of a jab than a knockout.” – WeHo Times Oct 2, 2025 Full Review
