Fing! (2026) EDIT “Director Jeffrey Walker oversees a first-rate production that has created a lushly appointed fantastical world come alive on the screen, and that includes the visual effects puppetry magic in producing the Fing himself.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Weight (2026) EDIT “This proves to be the gritty kind of story that is perfect for a revival, and it also marks yet another high point in the career of Ethan Hawke.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) EDIT “Give credit to debuting feature filmmaker NB Mager for a bold idea and a teen-driven movie that could spark the right kind of conversation.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 94% EDIT “Send Help is the first movie gem of 2026, a devilish treat and welcome respite from the real world. It’s a pleasure.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 78% EDIT “Both stars are in their sweet spot with this material and manage to handle not just the huge action quotient here, but also make it believable that in the end Johnny and James are just family, hale and hearty.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 26, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 84% EDIT “It is creepy as hell, but it lives in reality and travels in soundscapes that even manages to tell us more with our eyes closed rather than open.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 100% EDIT “I can only hope that the writer and director of Josephine finds a meaningful reception to her film and some comfort in knowing it might help others just like her.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 87% EDIT “It is about second chances, but also the complexity of denying Thomas Wolfe’s dictum that “you can’t go home again.” And let me tell you that Lambert’s simple shot from the heart doesn’t provide easy answers or Hallmark sincerity.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “All the technical production elements are first-rate, and I guarantee this one will have you on the edge of your seat in its compact running time.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% EDIT “The Rip becomes a classic who done it, or who is doing it, or who thinks who is doing it, and it all unravels at dizzyingly violent speed with plenty of shoot-outs to entertain you if you can’t keep this all straight. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 51% EDIT “The message is strong for a real world that is increasingly unhinged in so many ways. Right now this nightmare may be only a movie, but who knows?” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% EDIT “This horror mashup looks more like an indie-level attempt to take an exploitable idea and run it into the ground with one novel way after another to chop up a teenage cast. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “It is probably too much hyperbole to call Sony’s Anaconda the funniest movie of the year, but for my money it really is.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “This is the kind of movie where everyone seems to have a secret, a past, a problem. It sails over the top on purpose and it undoubtedly is, for me at least, the guilty pleasure of the season.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “With truly dazzling production elements all around this is a movie hard to resist, even if you think you have already seem what wonders Cameron has in store for this franchise. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “If you are looking for an unexpected spiritual lift this season from a film revolving around imminent death, this one is quite a gift.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “For a viewer this is better than front row, better than house seats, because we are on stage with them. Even if you have seen this show as many times as I have, you have never seen it like this.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% EDIT “Rather than just throw everything at the wall to see what sticks, this one also is smart enough to craft an actual story you can follow that has some credibility all on its own plus a love story at its center. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 35% EDIT “A Christmas movie that on the one hand is damned lucky to have lured the great Michelle Pfeiffer to be its star, but on the other hand loses the magic of the season by some truly credibility-challenging plotting decisions in its second half.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “Perhaps the real acting find here is O’Leary, the bad guy shark from Shark Tank who is one of many non-acting finds Safdie likes to pepper his casts with. He is right on the money and perfection as a businessman who could be Marty’s angel.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “The visual effects are first rate. So is this whole splendidly realized and cinematic musical adaptation which if you add up the running times of both films comes in just two minutes shy of 5(!) hours. To be honest I wanted more.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% EDIT “The results might not fully please devotees of either genre, but at least it’s different.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Nov 12, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “If you come in hoping for the kind of innovative films Pixar has regularly turned out you will be disappointed. If you are instead looking for something to keep the kids amused for an hour and a half, this visually dreamy concoction is just the ticket.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Boorman and the Devil (2025) EDIT “Not only is this docu entertaining, it is also a great primer on the film business, then and now, and is easily one of the best movies about the making -- and unmaking -- of a movie I have ever seen.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% EDIT “Lane is still one of the most talented actors out there and carries this off in style. Chandler is well-matched here as well.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Oct 31, 2025 Full Review
