Mercy (2026) 23% 1.5/4 EDIT “At times, it feels as tedious as watching a stranger’s increasingly frustrating call with a robotic customer service representative play out in real time.” – Associated Press Jan 22, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 3/4 EDIT “Anchoring it all is Foster, using the full force of her star power and impeccable French to make A Private Life, unwieldy and complex as it is, go down as easy as a glass of gamay.” – Associated Press Jan 14, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “The very threat of zombies keeps things kind of interesting... but this film seems to be suffering the same plight as its protagonist. Both are searching for closure, a bigger point, something that might give the whole thing meaning.” – Associated Press Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 81% 2.5/4 EDIT “Hillenburg died in 2018, but his wholly unique, zany world lives on, now four features in. It might not be the best of the bunch, but the infectious childlike spirit (and intestinal fortitude) remains firmly intact.” – Associated Press Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% 2.5/4 EDIT “Winslet, making her feature directorial debut, isn’t doing anything flashy here... This is a piece about characters and Winslet gives her actors space to build people that by and large feel pretty real.” – Associated Press Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 35% 2/4 EDIT “If the idea was to make something for the moms, “Oh. What. Fun.” is about as thoughtful as a hastily scribbled card on a piece of printer paper the morning of her birthday. We can all do better.” – Associated Press Dec 3, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “The Secret Agent is the best kind of personal film, imbued with so many things that Mendonça Filho loves, both resurrection and elegy.” – Associated Press Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “Is it romantic? Is it depressing? Is it woefully limited in its idea of what a human life amounts to? Yes? It’s committed, clever, comforting simplicity is also pretty satisfying -- a contained, crowd-pleaser that does not go on for eternity.” – Associated Press Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Train Dreams might veer a little too close to sentimental at times, but perhaps that’s an intentional respite from the aching loss at its core. ” – Associated Press Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s interesting, morally murky territory fitting of the filmmaker best known as the screenwriter of “Zodiac” that does gesture toward some provocative ideas... But it can’t quite synthesize its classical form with the bleak, sobering truths at its core.” – Associated Press Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Hallow Road (2025) 89% 3/4 EDIT “Ultimately, it’s an effectively minimalistic thriller that leaves much room for interpretation and debate, and a good option for anyone looking for something creepy to watch this Halloween without the gore.” – Associated Press Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “Working with cinematographer Sean Bobbitt, DaCosta's film is meticulously designed -- stately and elegant with a point of view that makes you feel like you too are in this party.” – Associated Press Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% 2/4 EDIT “It ambles around between absurdity, social realism and Apatow-esque antics trying to find its groove. And yet nothing is ever quite laugh out loud funny, which is shocking considering the people involved, and its messages are essentially toothless.” – Associated Press Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “Hopefully del Toro is at peace with his creation: It might not be masterpiece material, but it has a soul and is an undeniably beautiful, worthwhile addition to the canon.” – Associated Press Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film succeeds in doing what it aimed for: Presenting a humane portrait of a guy who will be serving most of his life behind bars, in crowd-pleasing packaging.” – Associated Press Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “It is fun to watch, a bit of frivolity and escapism. But you’re always eager to get back to the cell for more Tonatiuh. Molina’s main stage might be a dull, claustrophobic prison cell, but Tonatiuh’s performance is vibrant technicolor.” – Associated Press Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) 84% 3/4 EDIT ““Orwell: 2+2=5” might not be as fully realized as Peck’s 2017 knockout “I Am Not Your Negro,” but it is no less essential.” – Associated Press Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “Squibb and Kellyman, both terrific, are the real reasons to seek out “Eleanor the Great.” The film may trip over its own contrivances but their performances will leave you moved.” – Associated Press Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Perhaps these things really did unfold as they’re presented, but at times it feels like you’re suddenly on the Universal Studio Tour. Still, it’s impossible to take your eyes off the screen.” – Associated Press Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film, which runs over two hours, is building to a profound conclusion, a payoff for all the slow-paced and melancholy moments that preceded it. But it requires definite patience from its audience that it doesn’t necessarily earn just by existing. ” – Associated Press Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% 3/4 EDIT ““Honey Don’t” is gory, unapologetically sexual, quippy and dark. It also clocks in at under 90 minutes -- they knew just when to get out.” – Associated Press Aug 18, 2025 Full Review East of Wall (2025) 95% 3/4 EDIT ““East of Wall” is a promising start for a burgeoning filmmaker and a worthy portrait of an insular world that many of us will never know.” – Associated Press Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “Highest 2 Lowest may not reach the heights of some of Lee’s best films, but it’s the kind film that makes you hope Lee and Washington have more to make together.” – Associated Press Aug 13, 2025 Full Review My Mother's Wedding (2023) 41% 2/4 EDIT “It’s a cruel reminder that a good hook, talented actors, one killer monologue and a picturesque setting (in this case, the English countryside) aren’t guarantees that a movie will work.” – Associated Press Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% 3/4 EDIT “While Lerman gets substantially less to do, you come out feeling for both characters, trapped in anxieties of their own making and a social structure in which neither romance nor commitment seems to be a priority.” – Associated Press Jul 23, 2025 Full Review
