The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 4/4 EDIT “The Testament of Ann Lee all but replicates what it is like to be in the throes of a passionate religious movement, and does it with a command and feminist fervor that is as undeniable as the mastery of the central, all-in performance from Seyfried. ” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 96% 3/4 EDIT “It’s a tricky work that’s pulled off well.” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% 3/4 EDIT “The Rip seems highly possible until its overblown climatic end, but even when it succumbs to the action thriller norms, it and the cast always keeps you thoroughly entertained. ” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 28, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Foy’s internalized performance conveys how important it is to reconcile with grief, not to abandon it nor place it on an out-of-the-way emotional shelf. ” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 3/4 EDIT “As what happens with the best grindhouse movies, “Night Patrol” spares no one, gets a bit messy and is devoutly uninterested in playing it safe as it hits us with one surprise after another.” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 14, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% 3/4 EDIT “A strong supporting cast — Lukas Gage, Molly Shannon, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jameela Jamil and Lucien Laviscount – ups the entertainment value. Since rom-coms have been a bit blah of late, this one will satisfy that itch even if it’s no gamechanger. ” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 14, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “Some might take issue that actual recordings get used, but given the message this expertly made film so emphatically presents, that haunting voice makes the film all that more powerful, meaningful and dispiriting.” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 8, 2026 Full Review All That's Left of You (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “A potent and gripping family drama that enlightens and moves us in equal measures. ” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% 3/4 EDIT “This is the very definition of a tough but important watch, and it’s handled with sensitivity by all involved, especially the Fremont-born Shou and Liu. ” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 8, 2026 Full Review I Was a Stranger (2024) 75% 3.5/4 EDIT “It’s a suspenseful handwringer that features one of the most nerve-wracking boat-raft passages I’ve ever seen on film. Andersen has also come up with a perfect ending, one that illustrates so much by saying so little.” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Van Sant’s feature re-creates the 1977 details to perfection while the screenplay by Austin Kolodney wields a rapier wit and an awareness that this tale, which tips its hat to Sidney Lumet’s great Dog Day Afternoon and other great ’70s American films.” – San Jose Mercury News Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% 2/4 EDIT “To its credit, the cast works wonders with the little it is given, but that just isn't enough.” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 2/4 EDIT “The Choral has top-tier production values to its credit, but it all seems cobbled together from other oft-told stories. In the end, it should have taken a cue from Guthrie’s tinkering about with dated material and punched it up a bit more. ” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 24, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Somehow he makes the casual act of a drinking a boilermaker one of the most intoxicating and thrilling images of 2025. What an extraordinary treasure Park Chan-wook is. ” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/4 EDIT “The stars’ charisma outshines the flaws of “Song Sung Blue,” a satisfying portrait of two Neil Diamond lovers who weathered hard times and sang their way into the hearts of others back then and now with this admirable film. ” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 3/4 EDIT “Anaconda is inspired and silly and even advocates, just as "Marty Supreme" does, for all of us to dream as big as you can even when the odds are stacked against you. "Anaconda" will make you laugh and then slither its way into your heart. ” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “Is This Thing On? is gratefully never cynical, just aware that the happily-ever-after scenario doesn’t cover the the scope of what relationships are all about.” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4/4 EDIT “Pure lighting in a bottle that leaps boldly out of the starting gate and never slows down until it hits the finish line. ” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 24, 2025 Full Review David (2025) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes — who also wrote the screenplay — venture beyond that well-known slab of the story to give us another timeless moral tale about standing up for what we believe and doing the best for our community.” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/4 EDIT “Does it hit many of the same narrative beats and fight scenes? It does, but there’s just enough new here to whet our appetite for a fourth film. One can only hope it’s just a tad shorter.” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is a gentle beauty of a film from a filmmaker who is on his way to greatness.” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “Silent Night, Deadly Night can be enjoyed for its appreciation and reverence to all those ‘70s and ‘80s slasher flicks, and for perhaps cleverly skewering all those pious and high-minded critics of said horror films who chastise their existence. ” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Influencers (2025) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “Kurtis David Harder sharpens the cutlery for his attack on social influencer culture, all but garroting the obscenely rich, tin-souled click baiters out there.” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “That “Dust Bunny” also comments with restraint on parenting and all monsters we need to purge from our lives, elevates it even more so. As does Mikkelsen’s envious wardrobe. ” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 12, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/4 EDIT “The Secret Agent serves as a warning shot about today and is rife with Filho relishing in surprising audiences, his calling card. That leads to a masterful epilogue that shook me and moved me to my core. This is great filmmaking.” – San Jose Mercury News Dec 9, 2025 Full Review
