Lady (2026) C- EDIT “Nwosu shows true visionary promise, and “Lady” offers a glimpse into a world rarely depicted on screen. This is an admirable debut, but it ironically loses sight of its characters as its humanitarian message develops.” – The Playlist Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) 62% 6/10 EDIT “Some of it is novel, some of it nostalgic, and some genuinely funny. The rest is just Sandler flexing his contacts list.” – IGN Movies Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Push (2024) 65% 5/10 EDIT “A sleek, blood-spattered shell that perplexes more than it disturbs.” – IGN Movies Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Please Don't Feed the Children (2025) 36% 4/10 EDIT “It’s easy to tell where the plot is going right away, leaving viewers with little more to think about than how, with capable lead performers and all the resources of a Spielberg, this movie still falls so flat.” – IGN Movies Jun 27, 2025 Full Review The Surrender (2025) 85% 5/10 EDIT “The Surrender starts strong as a riveting tale of death and grief, but it peters out once things get spooky. If you want a great family drama, watch the first portion of this movie; if you want plodding supernatural horror, watch the second. ” – IGN Movies May 21, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 8/10 EDIT “Novocaine is smart, but not so self-aware that it’s likely to alienate anybody; sharp, but not without feeling. This isn’t a game-changer, but it signals a much-needed return to originality for popcorn action movies. ” – IGN Movies Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Brides (2025) 83% C- EDIT ““Brides” has good bones — an interesting premise and a clearly capable director — but it’s unclear what it ultimately wants to say.” – The Playlist Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Two Women (2025) 92% B EDIT ““Two Women” is a titillating, vibrant send-up of societal expectations that goes down easy despite its brashness. ” – The Playlist Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 60% 5/10 EDIT “Though it masquerades as an examination of the difficulties of motherhood and draws from ferocious source material, Marielle Heller’s adaptation of the novel Nightbitch offers little in the way of catharsis, character development, or carnality.” – IGN Movies Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Skincare (2024) 68% 7/10 EDIT “Elizabeth Banks and Lewis Pullman are compelling even as their characters bumble their way through the L.A. thriller Skincare, which underwhelms -- and occasionally baffles -- in terms of tone and plot.” – IGN Movies Aug 15, 2024 Full Review It Ends With Us (2024) 55% 7/10 EDIT “It Ends with Us is an occasionally schlocky and saccharine novel, but Justin Baldoni’s film adaptation uses an ace script and stellar performances -- particularly that of lead Blake Lively -- to elevate Colleen Hoover’s story to its cinematic peak. ” – IGN Movies Aug 7, 2024 Full Review The Devil's Bath (2024) 91% EDIT “Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s harrowing new drama makes their previous chillers, Goodnight Mommy and The Lodge, look like episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” – Seventh Row Jul 7, 2024 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024) 21% 3/10 EDIT “Where its predecessor was subtle and interesting, Renny Harlin’s reboot chooses to be ridiculous and boring.” – IGN Movies May 16, 2024 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% EDIT “You’d be justified in thinking that leads Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian are headed for a bad romance. They are. They’re also impeccable players in a wry, drug-fueled thriller where the obsessive rush of first love is the real narcotic.” – Seventh Row May 2, 2024 Full Review Imaginary (2024) 25% 6/10 EDIT “Imaginary nearly perfects its so-bad-it’s-good shtick. This is not a good movie, in the traditional, artistic sense -- but it is a total joy to watch if you’re willing to buy into its particular blend of juvenile scares and stupid self-seriousness.” – IGN Movies Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Seeking Mavis Beacon (2024) 76% C- EDIT “Seeking Mavis Beacon quickly becomes less about what this software and its spokeswoman represent, more about what Jones and Ross are thinking or doing at any given time––even if it distracts from the film’s mission.” – The Film Stage Jan 30, 2024 Full Review Little Death (2024) 39% B+ EDIT “As Little Death zig-zags like a sidewinder in the desert, Begert strikes a neat balance between esoteric inscrutability and blunt messaging” – The Film Stage Jan 30, 2024 Full Review Black Box Diaries (2024) 99% B EDIT “Black Box Diaries rings just slightly hollow, a technically gorgeous depiction of a nearly flawless subject.” – The Film Stage Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Suncoast (2024) 76% B EDIT “If you’re a native of the state that everyone loves to hate, this is one you really can’t miss.” – The Film Stage Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Stress Positions (2024) 73% C+ EDIT “Stress Positions‘ images likewise make a jarring jump from humdrum to dramatic. The first two-thirds appear to be shot with little artifice, adopting a kind of comedy-web-series starkness, but the last act devolves into heavily lit tableaux.” – The Film Stage Jan 29, 2024 Full Review All of Us Strangers (2023) 96% 7/10 EDIT “You’ve likely never seen a movie that tackles the specific loneliness many gay men still face today, and this one is laudable for that alone. However, All of Us Strangers airs on the side of saccharine, especially towards the end.” – IGN Movies Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Foe (2023) 24% 4/10 EDIT “Despite a capable cast and crew, Foe is a muddled mess that feels more like Black Mirror Lite than powerful sci-fi commentary. ” – IGN Movies Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Perpetrator (2023) 79% 7/10 EDIT “Perpetrator’s script doesn’t show writer-director Jennifer Reeder at her sharpest, but it has enough black humor to keep you entertained as the mostly-experimental plot unfolds.” – IGN Movies Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Boston Strangler (2023) 67% EDIT ““Boston Strangler” may muddle its facts, but its message never wavers. In a genre dominated by perfunctory intrigue, how exhilarating to see a film with morals this clear, consistent, and touching.” – TheWrap Mar 16, 2023 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% EDIT “"John Wick 4" barrels along with charming idiosyncrasy. Even when it drags -- 169 minutes is a lot of time to fill, even for this masterful crew -- the film gamely mixes comedy, action, and drama into one truly satisfying cocktail.” – TheWrap Mar 14, 2023 Full Review
