In the Blink of an Eye (2026) EDIT “A far cry from [Stanton’s] Pixar gems Finding Nemo and WALL-E, both of which have infinitely more to say about the human condition than this schematic and bathetic bowl of chicken soup for the soul.” – The Daily Beast Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Weight (2026) EDIT “Electrifying a taut tale of tough times and the desperate men they breed, [Hawke] makes sure that, even when it could stand to be a tad weightier, this genre film packs a wallop. ” – The Daily Beast Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) EDIT “A stirring testament to both [Rushdie's] resilience and to freedom as a vital bulwark against the forces of extremism and evil.” – The Daily Beast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) 73% EDIT “There’s not much to latch onto here except the faint flickers of the better film this one, with more care and attention to detail, might have been. ” – The Daily Beast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 76% EDIT “Never quite as funny as it wants to be, but making up for that in the violence department, it’s a healthy serving of slam-bang cinematic comfort food.” – The Daily Beast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Gallerist (2026) 54% EDIT “An irredeemably obvious and one-note affair that says everything in its first 10 minutes and spends the remainder of its time vainly trying to drum up humor from a wan Weekend at Bernie’s-esque scenario.” – The Daily Beast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 86% EDIT “A medley of fears, anxieties, and regrets that repeatedly messes with the senses, it exists at the nexus of sanity and madness, life and death, Heaven and Hell, and sound and image.” – The Daily Beast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Invite (2026) 91% EDIT “A hysterical, insightful, and ultimately moving portrait of the difficulties of keeping long-term relationships alive.” – The Daily Beast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 100% EDIT “Follows festival tradition by featuring a stellar breakthrough performance from a well-known actor—in this case, Will Poulter’s sterling turn as a junkie caught in a prison of his own making.” – The Daily Beast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Shitheads (2026) 60% EDIT “A delightful film about the dim-witted and the disreputable. And though its humor ultimately wanes, it compensates with a surprising measure of tenderness.” – The Daily Beast Jan 25, 2026 Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 88% EDIT “Consistently funny and erotic, if ultimately a bit too straightlaced for the incendiary subject matter at hand.” – The Daily Beast Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 100% EDIT “This intensely empathetic film—co-starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan—has a tendency to tip into strident affectation. But thanks to newcomer Reeves, it still lands more than its fair share of punches.” – The Daily Beast Jan 25, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 55% EDIT “May have things to say, but doesn’t have a clue how to say them.” – The Daily Beast Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Buddy (2026) 80% EDIT “A horror-comedy that takes a scalpel—or, more accurately, several weapons—to its jaunty protagonist, all while reveling in his darkly disturbed spirit.” – The Daily Beast Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The History of Concrete (2026) 100% EDIT “With his maiden cinematic venture, Wilson doesn’t break new ground so much as continue his idiosyncratic artistry on a larger scale.” – The Daily Beast Jan 23, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) EDIT “A winningly weird comedy—premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival—about isolation and community.” – The Daily Beast Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “Designed in every way to make one bleary eyed, it’s the new year’s dreariest, and goofiest, film. ” – The Daily Beast Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% EDIT “A rugged affair that’s canny and concussive enough to compensate for a somewhat deflating ending, it proves that its headliners remain cinema’s preeminent BFF duo.” – The Daily Beast Jan 16, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “As the fourth entry in a long-running franchise (written, like its ancestors, by Alex Garland), it is, to borrow a phrase uttered by its protagonist, “miraculous”—and marks this zombie saga as a nightmare with few equals.” – The Daily Beast Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Young Mothers (2025) 95% EDIT “Understated, graceful, and moving, it’s the first great film of 2026.” – The Daily Beast Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 51% EDIT “A sturdy continuation of this cataclysmic big-screen series, whose large-scale set pieces are rooted in the fear, anguish, and compassion of its appealing main characters. ” – The Daily Beast Jan 8, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% EDIT “Taut and entrancing, it’s a stark reminder that adolescence sucks.” – The Daily Beast Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% EDIT “A typical provincial British tale about everyday Englishmen and women banding together to accomplish a controversial task against long odds, it’s akin to a warm glass of milk.” – The Daily Beast Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “Yanking unashamedly at the heartstrings, however, it’s a manipulative and uneven tune that strains to elicit the sniffles it so hungrily seeks.” – The Daily Beast Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “A movie manufactured to tug at the heartstrings. That it does so this gracefully and movingly is a testament to Winslet’s understated stewardship and a script by her son, Joe Anders, whose manipulations are as gentle as they are affecting.” – The Daily Beast Dec 23, 2025 Full Review
