The Dutchman (2025) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “What about our current times suggests a need for renewed interest in Clay and his struggle between Black and white worlds? That question hangs over the entire film. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “Die My Love is a film driven by primal urges. ” – Fishnet Cinema Nov 29, 2025 Full Review If You See Something (2025) EDIT “If You See Something is a flawed film that nevertheless reminds us of the selective cruelty that leaves so many struggling to survive. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% EDIT “Come See Me in the Good Light wants to be life-affirming more than anything else, especially for artists in queer and marginalized communities. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Blue Film (2025) 90% EDIT “Blue Film provokes and captivates in equal measure, with the naked honesty of a black box off-off-Broadway play. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 12, 2025 Full Review The Currents (2025) 100% EDIT “Milagros Mumenthaler paints an intimate portrait of a woman trying to reckon with her fractured identity, trying not to fall into the grip of madness.” – The Film Stage Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 71% EDIT “Hosoda’s vision is a shockingly simplistic interpretation of a complicated, timeless, emotionally rich text.” – The Film Stage Oct 17, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% 3/4 EDIT “This is a good film, but change would be a much greater achievement. How much longer must we studiously document senseless suffering?” – RogerEbert.com Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Barrio Triste (2025) EDIT “It’s difficult to say more about 'Barrio Triste,' a film that makes its statements early and often, leaving us to wallow in the brutal truth of these young men’s lives. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2025 Full Review What Does that Nature Say to You (2025) 100% EDIT “'What Does That Nature Say to You' has a palpable nostalgia to it, viewed through a more critical lens. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Late Fame (2026) 85% EDIT “The classic theatricality of its characters juxtaposed with the modern world gives 'Late Fame' the feeling of a eulogy for an artistic world that young idealists desperately want to revive.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost (2025) 93% 3/4 EDIT “The film is a fascinating window into not only the history of this famous family but also the beautiful and punishing nature of performance itself.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Poetic License (2025) 90% EDIT “Despite its shortcomings, Poetic License is a film with a big heart populated by talented actors genuinely having fun with their characters. It’s a shame, then, that the story begins to fade from memory as soon as the credits roll.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 85% EDIT “Director Pete Ohs juxtaposes the quiet nature of the narrative with straightforward narration that gives the film a novelistic quality. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “Hedda is a delightful, sexy ride made that reminds us that Thompson is a star and DaCosta has many more tricks up her sleeve. It’s good to hear her unique narrative voice again.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Maddie's Secret (2025) 88% EDIT “Every aspect of Maddie’s Secret is indeed made with love, showing reverence for the stylistic flourishes that made TV movies so memorable. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Familiar Touch (2024) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “A gorgeous drama with an open, aching heart.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% EDIT “Aside from one very funny reveal in the film’s final third, Materialists is a romantic comedy with shockingly little humor, mistaking cruelty for sharp social satire. ” – The Film Stage Jun 15, 2025 Full Review Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) 82% 3/4 EDIT “A romantic comedy for the quiet, thoughtful lovers who yearn for the sincerity of the past.” – RogerEbert.com May 30, 2025 Full Review The New Boy (2023) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Newcomer Reid perfectly embodies the spirit of the film, making us feel his confusion and share his joy in the small moments where he’s allowed to be himself.” – RogerEbert.com May 23, 2025 Full Review Summer of 69 (2025) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s a commendable directorial debut, even when the film leans too hard on nostalgia and cliches. ” – RogerEbert.com May 9, 2025 Full Review Seven Veils (2023) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “Egoyan has always delved right into fraught familial ties without shying away from ugliness, and "Seven Veils" is perhaps his most overt exploration of familial trauma. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% EDIT “American cinema has always had a prudish approach to sexuality on-screen, linking kinks with villainy and mental instability. But Kidman has long gravitated toward sexual characters, and Babygirl is an ideal showcase for her fearless physicality. ” – Los Angeles Review of Books Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% EDIT “Despite its narrative issues, there’s a lot to like about Oh, Hi! With its playful writing and game cast, the film is sure to attract young fans and find its audience.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 13, 2025 Full Review By Design (2025) 69% EDIT “The alienating nature of the premise is what makes it fascinating, pushing us to question how we want to be seen and experienced as people in the world. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 13, 2025 Full Review
