Mother of Flies (2025) 96% 2.5/4 EDIT “But there are so many compensations that it’s very much worth seeing for anyone who loves horror—especially the atmospheric and gory, dread-based type, rather than the kind that is single-mindedly obsessed with staging jump-scares.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “One of its more quietly revelatory qualities is how it captures the way authoritarianism accelerates during wartime.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 3/4 EDIT “'Night Patrol' is far from perfect, but it’s got a certain something that pulls you in. The bleakness of its worldview is matched by the integrity of its filmmaking and performances. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) 91% 2/4 EDIT “That 'Deepfaking Sam Altman' is earnest and curious and full of fun thought prompts ultimately makes it more frustrating than a flat-out bad movie would have been.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Space/Time (2025) 2/4 EDIT “… the hurtling camerawork, jagged edits, brutal physical confrontations, and bone-rattling sound design will send you home feeling like you’ve had an experience.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Holding Liat (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The movie itself tends more towards the force majeure approach, though it can’t help but get specific when it focuses on Yehuda. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 4/4 EDIT “It’s unabashedly inspired by the best crime dramas from the 1970s, including 'Dog Day Afternoon,' 'The Sugarland Express,' ‘Network,' and ‘Badlands,’ and can stand proudly alongside them.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 4/4 EDIT “Jim Jarmusch’s latest, an anthology about families, is about words not spoken, and people gone but not forgotten.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 81% 4/4 EDIT “ There is no such thing as too many butt jokes. … The makers of ‘SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: Search for SquarePants' understand this, which is why the movie averages one butt joke every five minutes. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “The alchemical collision of the actors, the style, and the real-life settings result in a film so attentive to fluctuations in the characters’ emotions that watching them exist is exciting. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The King of Color (2025) 3/4 EDIT “It’s a smart, mostly light movie that will teach viewers a lot about processes they might not otherwise think about.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 3/4 EDIT “This isn’t a classic, but it’s good enough to make you think Fuller has a classic in him.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “Despite constraints, movie magic happens anyway.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% 4/4 EDIT “This is a tremendous visceral experience, with radiant colors, slate-somber black-and-white, and geysers of crimson blood. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/4 EDIT “This is one of the year’s best films, and one of the most distinctive.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Sallywood (2024) 3/4 EDIT “It’s a peculiar little movie that might seem grating or just overly earnest at first, but grows on you if you stick with it and adjust to its wavelength. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 2.5/4 EDIT “The relentless pace generates enough of an endorphin rush to power the movie beyond plausibility nitpicking. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 2.5/4 EDIT “It doesn’t add up to much, and it evaporates from the mind as soon as it’s over, but that was true of the other two movies, which made over $700 million globally despite mostly lukewarm reviews. … that’s another kind of magic trick.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 3/4 EDIT “It wants to educate and inspire as well as entertain, and isn’t shy about those ambitions.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/4 EDIT “The takeaway, I think, is applicable to beings all across the universe: sometimes the things you want most are not worth wanting, and until you figure that out, you’ll never be free.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Hallow Road (2025) 89% 1.5/4 EDIT “At the same time, however, none of the stuff that has to be protected for the sake of the audience’s viewing pleasure is actually worth protecting.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% 3.5/4 EDIT “That ‘Anniversary' depicts oppressed and terrorized Americans doing riskier things under far bleaker circumstances saves it from doomerism, leaving viewers with shreds of hope.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 29, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film might not work if it starred anyone but O’Connor. He’s one of the great recent finds in world cinema, and an actor who seems to be everywhere now, deservedly so. It’s exciting just to watch him sit and think.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Fairyland (2023) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is an honest, real movie about people living big lives during tumultuous times, and coming through it damaged but wiser. ” – RogerEbert.com Oct 10, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 4/4 EDIT “’TRON: Ares’ is spectacularly designed, swiftly paced, thoughtfully written, and directed within an inch of its neon-hued life.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 7, 2025 Full Review
