The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “Seyfried truly shines in the darker and grittier moments, deftly toeing the line between a righteous prophet and a woman finding liberation in grief and tragedy at a time when she was seen as a lesser-than.” – Exclaim! Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 6/10 EDIT “[Ariana Grande] absolutely owns For Good, demonstrating a fuller range of her acting capability than we saw in the first film as she takes Glinda to darker places.” – Exclaim! Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% 7/10 EDIT “[Colin] Farrell gives literal blood, sweat and tears in his portrayal of Lord Doyle, charming and disgusting us at the same time.” – Exclaim! Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Steve (2025) 78% 5/10 EDIT “The film's form feels almost too raw in nature, opting for a cinéma vérité style that arguably amplifies the volatility of the students' behaviour and circumstances. With a steadier hand, this would be addictive.” – Exclaim! Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% 6/10 EDIT “The film relies on its actors to take it from bad to passable, especially when its other elements (a clunky tone and janky visual language) stick out by comparison. Nevertheless, Johansson undeniably succeeds in mining affecting performances.” – Exclaim! Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “With a tender hand, Little Amélie tackles darker topics as well, unafraid to delve into death, loss, trauma, and even distrust.” – The Asian Cut Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 98% EDIT “One of the most under-sung and unique cinematic experiences.” – The Asian Cut Aug 2, 2025 Full Review The Last of the Sea Women (2024) 97% EDIT “The collection of women Kim focuses on are some of the most inspiring people I’ve seen on the screen this year [2024].” – The Asian Cut Aug 2, 2025 Full Review May December (2023) 91% EDIT “It’s Charles Melton’s breakthrough performance that will be talked about for years to come. ” – The Asian Cut Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “There’s a painful irony to Materialists: in its steadfast commentary on the seemingly inherent superficiality of modern dating, it ends up failing to achieve or say anything profound about it.” – The Asian Cut Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) 82% 7/10 EDIT “Not only is this type of rom-com, which bleeds from the same vein as the greats of the 2000s, a dying genre, but on a grander scale, this type of romantic pursuit feels like a bygone era. ” – Exclaim! May 22, 2025 Full Review Queerpanorama (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Sex can just be sex, yes, but, as the film attests, with a kiss, a touch, even a glance, you inevitably walk away from it with something else — something more.” – The Asian Cut Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Vermiglio (2024) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Vermiglio might take place in a remote village in the snowy mountaintops of the Italian Alps during World War II, where isolation and emotional suffocation are inevitable, but the film beats like a steady fire.” – Exclaim! Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “Wicked is a fine, if incomplete, spectacle that will delight musical theatre fans, Ariana Grande stans, and families who want to treat their kids to a magical experience.” – The Asian Cut Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Pierce (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Low is in full control of the film, weaving a taut mystery that is, at once, heartfelt and unnerving.” – The Asian Cut Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Love in the Big City (2024) 4.5/5 EDIT “Love in the Big City reminds us of the power of rebellion, the importance of community, and, at its most fundamental level, the sheer joy of watching a well-made movie.” – The Asian Cut Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Daddy's Head (2024) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “A slow-burn dance between horror and heart” – MovieWeb Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Guadagnino's film is as much an exploration of the mind as it is the male body.” – MovieWeb Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% 3.5/5 EDIT “Emilia Pérez feels like a patchwork film, tackling as many themes in as many genres as it can.” – MovieWeb Sep 26, 2024 Full Review The End (2024) 56% 3/5 EDIT “If The End doesn't reel you in with its music, its meticulous aesthetic will.” – MovieWeb Sep 17, 2024 Full Review The Piano Lesson (2024) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “Malcolm [Washington] rises to the challenge of capturing the soul of [August] Wilson's original work, and, in doing so, delivers an exceptional film for new audiences who might be encountering the playwright's words for the very first time.” – MovieWeb Sep 17, 2024 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 53% 2/5 EDIT “On Swift Horses portends that life is a gamble, but so is film. You win some, you lose some.” – MovieWeb Sep 12, 2024 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 80% 4.5/5 EDIT “"...contemplates death, perhaps even embraces it, but in doing so, Almodóvar effectively underscores the need to embrace life and joy."” – MovieWeb Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Red Island (2023) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “Red Island feels like a summer vacation, as the characters bask in the warmth and beauty of the country, but this paradise houses a darker truth.” – MovieWeb Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Egoist (2022) 73% 6/10 EDIT “The problem is that the film fails to cement Kosuke as the titular egoist.” – The Asian Cut Jul 12, 2024 Full Review
