In Cold Light (2025) 43% EDIT “In Cold Light is ultimately a standard issue thriller, doing nothing to reinvent and too little to invigorate its genre.” – Spectrum Culture Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Lone Samurai (2025) EDIT “A fitfully effective genre exercise that’s saved by compositional care and worthwhile, if not exceptional, action choreography.” – Spectrum Culture Dec 15, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “Stewart’s choice to experiment formally and embrace an avant-garde aesthetic quickly shakes off any potential concerns that she's played it safe in her directorial debut. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% EDIT “An unusually assured debut, this Indian romantic drama thrives on great performances and quiet attention to detail. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Köln 75 (2025) 88% EDIT “Part of what makes Köln 75 a worthwhile watch is how it diverts from the expectations one might have for a movie that documents an important event in music history. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) 84% EDIT “Blending biography and history with a discursive exploration of totalitarianism past and present, Raoul Peck’s latest documentary counterbalances his essayistic and frequently poetic tendencies with pointed emphasis on relevant current events. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 8, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “A powerhouse blockbuster with plenty to say about love, family, radicalism and politics, Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest ranks among his best work. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 26, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% EDIT “Some of what made the script interesting is still here, but it’s all largely undermined by the choice to leave sports-horror specialness behind for a typically gory finale that goes hard but is mostly generic. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Clemente (2024) 84% EDIT “Clemente’s skills and stature are securely related by the director in a deep-dive biography that brings to the screen the context often lost with the passage of time. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Motel Destino (2024) 78% EDIT “Registering as a flick best caught on a whim, preferably late at night, rather than a must-see masterpiece, Motel Destino remains true to its pulpy root inspirations. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% EDIT “With the arrival of Honey Don’t!, Coen and Cooke’s intended “lesbian B-movie trilogy” comes into sharper focus. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Suspended Time (2024) 66% EDIT “Suspended Time is a deftly executed rumination on memory that additionally relates how COVID lockdown proved enlightening and therapeutically energizing for some people. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “Weapons is ambitious without succumbing to increasingly typical elevated horror tropes. He also integrates humor into a tense horror-mystery without turning the film into an outright horror-comedy. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 8, 2025 Full Review AJ Goes to the Dog Park (2024) 80% EDIT “Meager of budget but joyously zany to the brink of the anarchic, animator Toby Jones’ largely live-action AJ Goes to the Dog Park delivers an unrelenting geyser of gags throughout its succinct runtime. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Life After (2025) 100% EDIT “With Life After, Davenport has built a film with a clear point of view, but the presentation won’t lead everyone to the same conclusion. This lack of didacticism helps in the film’s ultimate success. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024) 91% EDIT “The major flaw of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight is its centering limitation of the white perspective, but it’s still worth seeing mainly for Venter’s magnificent performance as the young Alexandra Fuller. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Prime Minister (2025) 93% EDIT “Prime Minister is ultimately nearer to memoir, featuring Ardern’s self-questioning and ambivalence, than it is to a simple portrait. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Sunlight (2024) 91% EDIT “A dark comedy involving a monkey suit, suicide and an Airstream delivers some heartfelt laughs without descending into sentimentality or false edginess. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Ron Delsener Presents (2023) EDIT “Ron Delsener Presents sheds light on how the business of putting on a show has changed from the high-energy maneuvering of wheeler-dealers to the impersonal corporate world of mergers and spreadsheets. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 5, 2025 Full Review The Phoenician Scheme (2025) 77% EDIT “Contrary to kneejerk claims of Anderson having stalled creatively or succumbed to self-parody, The Phoenician Scheme reinforces the director’s artistry as continuing to expand beyond any reasonable early-career expectations. ” – Spectrum Culture May 30, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 95% EDIT “A contemporary spin on convention, A Nice Indian Boy manages to keep its lightness from drifting into the insubstantial. ” – Spectrum Culture May 23, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 86% EDIT “A remake of a ‘90s indie classic, this new version dials up the laughs, leans harder into genre tropes and delivers the familiar with an undercurrent of the new. ” – Spectrum Culture May 23, 2025 Full Review Drop Dead City (2024) 92% EDIT “An efficient examination of an oft-told story, Drop Dead City takes a documentary look at the financial crisis that nearly destroyed New York. ” – Spectrum Culture May 23, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% EDIT “The episodic modesty allows the moments where Robinson and DeYoung subvert and exceed expectations to shine all the more. ” – Spectrum Culture May 23, 2025 Full Review
