All That's Left of You (2025) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “...the script and performances have an absorbing heft and complexity that lift it far above exposition or didacticism.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Rather than depicting the life of Ann Lee (1736-1784) in standard biopic format, director-cowriter Mona Fastvold (The World to Come) has herself created something of a “testament,” immersed in the fervor of its characters.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 28, 2026 Full Review My Undesirable Friends: Part I - Last Air in Moscow (2024) 100% 5/5 EDIT “My Undesirable Friends is an indelible record of what 21st-century autocracy and resistance look like. I think most stateside viewers will also recognize it as a warning.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “The filmmaking is so busily inventive and entertaining that we may not immediately register the tension at the heart of No Other Choice. Rarely has a story felt so contemporary and so retro at the same time. ” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “It takes great craftsmanship to tell the story of an ordinary life in a way that elevates it into a representative one, without falling prey to pretentiousness. Bentley displays that level of skill in this immersive, dreamlike work.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “The editing and production design are immersive, the dialogue has a triumphant comic snap, and Chalamet’s performance is fully committed. ” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “What [Wake Up Dead Man] does offer is superb old-school entertainment: a carnival ride of plot convolutions, witty lines and gleefully hammy performances with, at its core, a surprisingly compelling meditation on the real meaning of faith.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Hamnet serves as an all-too-timely reminder that the death of children was commonplace before modern medicine. Watson delivers a beautiful monologue that drives home just how familiar parents were forced to be with their worst fears.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “As sophisticated as it’s sentimental, the movie will send you out misty-eyed and thoughtful.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% 4.5/5 EDIT “DaCosta has adapted the source material with care, weaving in new characters and updated concerns while keeping the dialogue sharp and period-appropriate.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 2, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 3.5/5 EDIT “A chilly, visually impeccable film with few likable characters, After the Hunt drags on longer than it needs to. But Guadagnino nails the academic atmosphere — the hushed voices, the unspoken disdain.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Del Toro’s Frankenstein is a beautifully realized gothic fever dream, worth seeing on the biggest screen you can. But its ultimate messaging panders to an audience that can’t tolerate ambiguity, yanking us back into 21st-century reality.” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “An artwork this rich in visual symbolism will find its fans, but for me, Die My Love was a suffocating vibe in search of a story.” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Bugonia is most interesting when it explores how a shared vocabulary can bond people, even — or especially — when that vocabulary bears no relationship to reality. ” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4.5/5 EDIT “As a cautionary tale exploring an arguably plausible scenario, A House of Dynamite is terrifyingly effective. But any viewer who expects something different...will be disappointed and perhaps aggrieved.” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Fucktoys (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “The movie doesn’t treat sex or sex work as inherently degrading, and that could unsettle some viewers. But for those who like their indie movies genuinely independent, Sriram’s debut is a provocation with substance behind it.” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “While the film’s first third might lead us to expect a vicious satire or a crowd-pleasing populist comedy, Roofman ends up being more of a tender, tepid love story.” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% 3.5/5 EDIT “Anemone ends up feeling like an aesthetically immaculate apologia for being a deadbeat dad. If you catch its vibe, there’s power here, and Ronan Day-Lewis shows clear promise as a filmmaker. ” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 8, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “Anderson fills the whole screen with deftly orchestrated action in a real-feeling world, assisted by skilled production design. It’s an invigorating reminder that movie thrills don’t have to have the weightlessness of CGI or martial-arts wire work.” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 1, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 3.5/5 EDIT “Him isn’t subtle about its message that football is the all-American cult, recruiting promising young Black men to serve as fodder for its sacrificial rites. But it illustrates that message with such wild gusto that I found it hard to look away...” – Seven Days (VT) Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “There’s no especially subtle or sophisticated messaging in this grueling little tale, but it grips us all the way to the bitter end of the road.” – Seven Days (VT) Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 2/5 EDIT “While one can’t fault The Conjuring: Last Rites for trying a new direction, the scares it conjures are few and far between.” – Seven Days (VT) Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Black Box Diaries (2024) 99% EDIT “Black Box Diaries is a riveting effort to take back [Shiori Itô's] personhood.” – Seven Days (VT) Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% 2.5/5 EDIT “...Honey Don't! is fine for a late-summer diversion, but it feels like a collection of quirky gestures in search of a point.” – Seven Days (VT) Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “...Weapons is an impressive feat of narrative and technical ingenuity, like Go or Magnolia for the horror genre. And the excitement around it reflects how much cultural capital that genre has accumulated in the past decade.” – Seven Days (VT) Aug 13, 2025 Full Review
