The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% EDIT “It takes a peculiar set of traits and skills to portray this singular figure in Christian history, especially as a musical heroine. It truly feels like no actor except Seyfried could have done justice either to her or to The Testament of Ann Lee.” – Fort Worth Weekly Jan 27, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “This film demonstrates how the prosperous can just as easily become so desperate. These Korean filmmakers point out our society’s flaws and what they do to us better than just about any other country’s. Like this film’s achievement, that’s stupendous.” – Fort Worth Weekly Jan 16, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “I appreciate how The Bone Temple is a story that takes place inside the world of the 28 Years Later movies without misplacing the character of the preceding films, and adds to the franchise’s world building without forgetting the story. ” – Fort Worth Weekly Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “The movie and Chalamet’s performance both reach true greatness among 2025’s best cinematic achievements.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “Though some snappier writing by Rebecca Sonnenshine could have helped, The Housemaid is an improvement on the book and about as good an adaptation as we could have expected. That makes for a neat Christmas present at the multiplex.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “If the Ash people aren’t enough to make Avatar: Fire and Ash worth recommending, they do at least offer a safety valve from the didacticism and sanctimony that infested Cameron’s previous entries in the saga.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 22% EDIT “Maybe if Ella McCay didn’t insist on Ella being so gosh-darned adorable (and if the jokes had been funnier), this might have been the political comedy we needed. But then that probably would have required a new director and maybe a new cast.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 71% EDIT “Scarlet has more than a bit of evidence that Hosoda is a major voice in anime, and indeed animated film in general.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “This is one filmed Broadway production that feels dynamic rather than like a museum piece, and that makes Merrily We Roll Along the concert movie of the year.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 2/5 EDIT “It was overly emotion, so contrived. ” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 1/5 EDIT “There's no logic... no scares. ” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “Sentimental Value relies more on the old-fashioned virtues of character insight and good writing and acting.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “If the unwinding of the mystery is a bit too labored, Wake Up Dead Man gives us something new about the detective at its center and also cleverly uses the fact that more than one man in the story wears his hair Jesus-style like the monsignor. ” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “A funny romantic film that doesn’t quite reach the heights of Kore-eda’s masterpiece but is diverting nonetheless.” – Fort Worth Weekly Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Partitioning the movies this way makes this second film into a showcase for Grande as much as the first one was for Erivo. ” – Fort Worth Weekly Nov 20, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “Despite its intellectual shortcomings, it’s a great time from a filmmaker who deserves a bigger audience.” – Fort Worth Weekly Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “I find Badlands to be not as strong a piece of work as those predecessors, but its visuals do merit the screens of your multiplex.” – Fort Worth Weekly Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “While there are better movies than Die My Love about its subject, Ramsay’s and Lawrence’s particular blend of mess and control makes hers something to be seen.” – Fort Worth Weekly Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% EDIT “Even though we should despise Teddy for what his actions ultimately lead to Plemons finds the pathos in the character’s desire to believe that he knows things that no one else on Earth does.” – Fort Worth Weekly Oct 30, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You does manage to end on a hopeful note, but despite that and its director’s talent, it still emerges as a haunted-house carnival ride. ” – Fort Worth Weekly Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “Hawke’s performance is more than persuasive enough. In fact, it might just be his best work ever.” – Fort Worth Weekly Oct 24, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% EDIT “If you are new to Reichardt, her total command of what’s happening on the screen is compelling stuff for a while.” – Fort Worth Weekly Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “For one thing, it looks amazing, and while you could say that about all of Del Toro’s films, this is more resplendent than anything of his since 2015’s Crimson Peak.” – Fort Worth Weekly Oct 22, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “There is complexity here, too much for the filmmakers to handle. If none of the characters here are pristine, the movie doesn’t reap any of the benefits you’d expect from that. ” – Fort Worth Weekly Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% EDIT “The breakout star here, though, is Tonatiuh...” – Fort Worth Weekly Oct 9, 2025 Full Review
