Hedda (2025) 89% B+ EDIT “Thompson embodies Hedda with a playful, ruthless energy, an unsettling combination that makes it impossible to parse any given action. ” – AV Club Oct 25, 2025 Full Review The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) 42% B EDIT “The remake features riveting tension, assured performances, and hallmarks of an exciting new director’s narrative fascinations, all while the politics of its central dynamic continue to cry out for examination.” – AV Club Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% C+ EDIT “Lacking distinctive social commentary, meaningful character development, or a salient environmental angle, the update feels all but incapable of speaking to the moment.” – AV Club Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 6.0/10 EDIT “None of [Godard's] innovative edginess is present in Nouvelle Vague, which only replicates the aesthetic of this anarchic approach rather than transmitting a comparable air of experimentation in its own right.” – Paste Magazine Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Forastera (2025) 94% EDIT “Set on the Spanish island of Mallorca, the ethereal sunshine and crystalline blue of the Mediterranean cast a melancholy haze upon a vacationing family that must suddenly mourn the passing of [its] matriarch.” – Filmmaker Magazine Sep 9, 2025 Full Review The Travel Companion (2025) 92% EDIT “A commentary on the fragility of male ego and the hilarious indignities of making art in New York City, The Travel Companion is a prescient portrait of our current cultural tensions, emphasizing the struggles that [specifically] befall filmmakers.” – Filmmaker Magazine Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Underland (2025) 100% EDIT “Underland isn’t merely notable for its ability to capture abject darkness...but for its stellar soundscape that whirrs, drones, hums and echoes, almost replicating the sensitivity one’s ears achieve when the light suddenly vanishes.” – Filmmaker Magazine Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% B- EDIT “The rom-com has not been resurrected with Materialists. Though Song showed much promise with her Oscar-nominated foray into filmmaking, this screenplay feels less intentional in nearly every respect.” – AV Club Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 39% 6.8/10 EDIT “Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich give utmost commitment to a film that completely lacks clarity in its commentary of media frenzy and stan culture.” – Paste Magazine Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% C+ EDIT “Despite these visual shortcomings, Jennifer Lopez and newcomer Tonatiuh deliver committed performances, even if the ideas they’re tasked with communicating don’t quite land.” – AV Club Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Rebuilding (2025) 93% B+ EDIT “Rebuilding emphasizes the vitality of mutual aid.” – AV Club Jan 29, 2025 Full Review One of Them Days (2025) 94% B EDIT “One Of Them Days serves as an unexpected ode to the tenacity of its [Los Angeles] residents. ” – AV Club Jan 16, 2025 Full Review There Was, There Was Not (2024) 100% EDIT “Taking its title from the opening line from most Armenian fairy tales, Emily Mkrtichian’s feature documentary debut focuses on a land that is, sadly, just as ephemeral as the magic of childhood. ” – Filmmaker Magazine Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Get Away (2024) 76% C EDIT “Even when the tables turn, their relationships feel nuanced and natural, a feat considering the otherwise flimsy storyline.” – AV Club Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Christmas Eve in Miller's Point (2024) 80% A- EDIT “Intimate, disparate moments of an annual holiday tradition are artfully portrayed in director Tyler Taormina’s latest, the Long Island-set Christmas Eve In Miller’s Point. ” – AV Club Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Bird (2024) 86% B- EDIT “While Bird still employs an interest in socially vulnerable characters, its viewpoint feels less rooted in authentic struggle than in sensationalistic strife. ” – AV Club Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% C+ EDIT “Emilia Pérez manages to arrest and intrigue, if only because you truly don’t know what the frenetic narrative’s next move is.” – AV Club Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Hold Your Breath (2024) 40% C+ EDIT “Elements of psychological, supernatural, and survival horror are incorporated, yet never coalesce into a cohesive story, despite the film boasting a strong central performance and a commitment to historical detail. ” – AV Club Oct 4, 2024 Full Review It's What's Inside (2024) 80% B+ EDIT “There are plenty of laughs to be had here, making it the perfect movie night selection for a large group.” – AV Club Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Apartment 7A (2024) 45% C+ EDIT “Musings on motherhood, performance, and power are never fully articulated, leaving a flurry of concepts up in the air without resolve. ” – AV Club Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Eureka (2023) 83% 8.0/10 EDIT “Lushly lensed and intensely cerebral, Lisandro Alonso’s Eureka is on par with the experimental Argentine director’s previous output.” – Paste Magazine Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Never Let Go (2024) 57% B+ EDIT “It’s refreshing to encounter genre fare that is equal parts original and entertaining. ” – AV Club Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% C EDIT “Watkins’ take on Speak No Evil lacks innovation, introspection, and, frankly, a legible narrative identity.” – AV Club Sep 16, 2024 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 80% B+ EDIT “Stunning in all elements of design and performance, The Room Next Door is another wonderful entry among Almodóvar’s filmography, even if it doesn’t rank among his strongest works.” – AV Club Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 60% C- EDIT “Nightbitch doesn’t probe the broader societal devaluation that actually causes women to feel unfulfilled and unimportant in their newfound roles as caregivers. ” – AV Club Sep 11, 2024 Full Review
