SHEEPDOG (2025) 77% B EDIT “Reminder: war is hell. And for veterans and viewers, Sheepdog packs an emotional wallop.” – Original Cin Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% B EDIT “Though a beautifully made film with a great cast and impeccable production credentials, The Choral, alas, is a bit dull. ” – Original Cin Jan 9, 2026 Full Review After All (2025) B EDIT “A compelling coming-of-age story for just about everyone involved, After All shows that while being together as a family can be therapeutic, the ties that bind sometimes work like a tourniquet. ” – Original Cin Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% C+ EDIT “The ponderous storytelling is such that you’re always aware you’re watching a movie, set in that olde-timey past underlined by exploding flashbulbs and fake archival black and white footage with overwrought music.” – Original Cin Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% C+ EDIT “Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin) directs Jennifer Lawrence. That should be enough to make any film fan happy. Hard to explain, then, why Die My Love, starring Lawrence as a young mother slipping into postpartum madness, is such a slog. ” – Original Cin Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Magnetosphere (2024) 100% EDIT “Magnetosphere is a charming YA movie tailor-made for anyone who found adolescence challenging. So yeah — it’s for everyone.” – AWFJ.org Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) (2025) 79% B EDIT “Falconer allows viewers a glimpse into the ordinary lives of richly developed characters, presenting their stories in an understated and unhurried fashion, showing lives led against a bittersweet, end-of-summer landscape tinged with nostalgia. ” – Original Cin Oct 29, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% B+ EDIT “This intriguing he-said/she-said drama for the world we live in now is billed as a psychological thriller, and it is, in the sense that other people are unknowable. But much of the storytelling is confusing. ” – Original Cin Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% B EDIT “Cianfrance is a celebrated director, and this is his first film in several years. And it was interesting to anticipate how he would work with the consistently underrated Tatum. Roofman is good, make no mistake. But some of us wanted it to be great.” – Original Cin Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% A EDIT “Intense, painterly Anemone is a profoundly affecting debut from Ronan Day-Lewis and a welcome return from Daniel Day-Lewis.” – Original Cin Sep 30, 2025 Full Review American Sweatshop (2025) 77% B EDIT “American Sweatshop is an anxiety-soaked story, but it’s not a thriller — it’s smarter than that. Director Uta Briesewitz creates a character study set in a cautionary tale. If you didn't already grasp the toxicity of online culture, this one’s for you.” – Original Cin Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Mile End Kicks (2025) 100% EDIT “Entertaining and attractive for reasons of nostalgia and geography. But, at some point, the sweetness and whimsy vanish and the main character becomes increasingly difficult to care about. ” – AWFJ.org Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% EDIT “Experiencing the film DUST BUNNY is a little like falling into the greatest children’s book ever. There’s enough dark magic, Freudian family weirdness, violent punishment and preternatural event to make a Grimm Brother proud.” – AWFJ.org Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% B+ EDIT “Thanks to leads Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch and some very sharp writing, The Roses is a real-deal romantic comedy about love, marriage and the exigencies of adult life and a smart updating of the 1989 original film.” – Original Cin Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Sweet Summer Pow Wow (2025) B EDIT “Thanks to the appealing performances of Tatyana Rose Baptiste and Joshua Odjick, the film is charming and often funny. Darrell Dennis has spoken of creating Indigenous stories coming from a place of strength rather than trauma, and he succeeds here. ” – Original Cin Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% B EDIT “Qualley is deadpan and unflappable in her role as a world-weary P.I. trying to untangle everything. But look here, doll — the story just doesn’t add up. ” – Original Cin Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Sweet Angel Baby (2024) B+ EDIT “Writer-director Oates’ delicate small-town drama is distinguished by the performances from Kurimsky and Tailfeathers and by the visual beauty of the storytelling, courtesy cinematographer Christopher Mably. And it’ll break your heart.” – Original Cin Aug 14, 2025 Full Review My Mother's Wedding (2023) 41% B EDIT “Scott Thomas’ directorial debut is a perfectly nice film that never quite manages to meld its drama and comedy. But it’s good enough to pique curiosity about what she directs next.” – Original Cin Aug 8, 2025 Full Review The Home (2025) 29% C EDIT “Directed by DeMonaco and co-written, presumably with crayons, by DeMonaco and Adam Cantor, The Home has all the unnecessarily complicated plot turns, illogical decisions, dubious backstory and red herrings that give the horror genre such a bad name. ” – Original Cin Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% B EDIT “A darkly comic send-up of contemporary dating and relationships, and an exaggeration perhaps of the pitfalls of meeting online. The storytelling gets a little shambolic mid-way, but the film is entertaining and Gordon and Lerman hold it together. ” – Original Cin Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Hot Spring Shark Attack (2024) 67% C EDIT “ Hot Spring Shark Attack is a broad spoof of Jaws, related monster movies, police procedurals, influencers, superhero sagas and other things. And it is initially quite a lark. But a goofy premise and amusingly terrible special effects only go so far. ” – Original Cin Jul 12, 2025 Full Review Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna (2025) 86% B+ EDIT “Hutchins' cinematography was stunning but her death was terrible. The media feeding frenzy and the heartless social media response that followed the tragedy were terrible. People are terrible. Let’s hope this documentary helps affect change.” – Original Cin Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Endless Cookie (2025) 90% B-plus EDIT “Though the tales meander and rarely toe any recognizable narrative line, Peter is indeed a master storyteller. There are dangerous female sasquatches to discuss, bloody crimes to describe and that time an owl clung stubbornly to Rusty Redhead's arm. ” – Original Cin Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Party Pirate (2023) C EDIT “Party Pirate is a harmless attempt to cast light on learning differences and it’s obviously a labour of love. But the storytelling is eventually sunk by its puerile humour. ” – Original Cin Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% B-plus EDIT “A cinematic shish kebab, it’s all claustrophobic and terrible and wildly entertaining. As always, director Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones) goes above and beyond the requirements of the genre.” – Original Cin Jun 4, 2025 Full Review
