The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo (2025) Eric Langberg This is a fascinating film, a riveting journalistic endeavor that will stand as one of the best movies of the year in any category. It’s moving and sad, both maddening and mystifying.

Rebel Without a Cause (1955) Eric Langberg When you’re a teenager, petty arguments with your parents do seem like the end of the world, and Rebel understands and remembers that in ways most movies do not.

Happyend (2024) Eric Langberg ... simultaneously a touching coming-of-age story about two high school best friends who hang on the precipice of adulthood, while also being a thriller about the moral necessity of resistance to authoritarianism

The Mastermind (2025) Eric Langberg There were many walkouts. A guy in my row snored loudly for like fifteen minutes somewhere in the middle. There was much audible consternation when the credits rolled. Great film!

Urchin (2025) Eric Langberg Harris Dickinson has already cemented himself as a great actor; here, he proves himself to be a tremendous director of actors. The film stars Frank Dillane as a man named Mike, and it’s one of the best performances of the year.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Eric Langberg It plays like a gripping anxiety attack on celluloid, locking us in with a phenomenal actress for almost two hours as she faces the slow unraveling of every single facet of her life. What a journey.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) Eric Langberg [Jennifer Lopez is] utterly captivating, impossible to look away from; you completely buy that a lonely gay boy would be obsessed with every swish of her hips as she swans about the screen in dresses dripping with sparkles.

Bone Lake (2024) Eric Langberg There are some clear budgetary considerations at play here—sometimes the editing gets clunky, hiding a gore effect or violent stunt they couldn’t pull off—but it’s easy to forgive that stuff when there’s so much clear intention bursting from every frame.

Doin' It (2024) Eric Langberg Despite its noble intentions, this is one of the worst movies of the year, and I fear that describing why — that simply typing out some of the things that happen in this film — will get me put on some kind of list.

Plainclothes (2025) Eric Langberg This is a movie all about the erotics of shame, about the way that gay men throughout history had to find their own spaces, their own forms of communication, of expressing attraction ... It’s one of the best movies of the year.

Flamingo Camp (2025) Eric Langberg This is, above all, a work of radical empathy.

The Big Johnson (2025) Eric Langberg The documentary brilliantly conveys that, while drag is now a viable career path to fame and fortune, it used to be a provocative, dangerous, daring art form… and perhaps it could be again, if we follow Dean’s lead.

Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-shero (2025) Eric Langberg It knows exactly who its audience is, and it doesn’t spend a moment trying to explain things to people who were never going to be on board. At its best, snappiest moments, the jokes fly fast and furious — and fierce and fabulous.

The History of Sound (2025) Eric Langberg Sometimes it seems like [Josh O'Connor] is holding back the biggest, most charismatic grin you’ve ever seen, and sometimes he seems like he’s barely hiding the pain of the saddest boy in the world.

Preparation for the Next Life (2025) Eric Langberg By keeping its focus on these two people in love — these two achingly-human characters portrayed by two incredible actors — Preparation for the Next Life makes visible the [human] toll of talking about things like immigration enforcement in the abstract.
Posted Sep 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Twinless (2025) Eric Langberg Suffice it to say that this is one of the best movies of the year, an instant queer classic, and the kind of movie you’ll want to watch all over again as soon as you’ve seen how it all plays out.

Riefenstahl (2024) Eric Langberg Is this a case of deep, deep denial, or is it deception? Using her own archive, [director Andres] Veiel essentially gives Riefenstahl enough rope to hang herself.
Posted Sep 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Taxi to the Toilet (1980) Eric Langberg Taxi Zum Klo deserves to be remembered alongside the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder — which [Frank] Ripploh himself occasionally acted in — as a seminal work of queer art. Pun intended.
Posted Sep 01, 2025  Edit critic review
We Are Your Friends (2015) Eric Langberg We Are Your Friends finds a generation and a country on the precipice of… something, a generation holding its breath while it wants to see what that something might be ... It's 2015, and we can tell the bottom is about to fall out of the world.
Posted Aug 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Went Up the Hill (2024) Eric Langberg There’s a peculiar, quasi-incestuous queerness coursing through this movie, managing to find something genuinely provocative and gender-bent about a man and woman kissing ... It’s as sensual as it is upsetting.
Posted Aug 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Witchboard (2024) Eric Langberg Unlike his main character, Chuck Russell knows exactly what kind of energy he’s tapping into; even and especially when the visual effects are low-budget and distracting, they have a certain charm, a certain gonzo, doing-whatever spirit.
Posted Aug 25, 2025  Edit critic review
The Knife (2024) Eric Langberg While the limited scope and precise, talky dialogue make the movie feel like it could work as a play, Asomugha has chosen to shoot his film largely in closeup, and you simply can’t get the same effect on the stage.
Posted Aug 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Eden (2024) Eric Langberg This movie is not the serious, thrilling drama it seems to have been intended to be—that lighting is so droll—but it is a deliciously campy soap opera of a movie, full of cattiness, backstabbing, and one hell of a delightful performance from Ana de Armas.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Americana (2025) Eric Langberg I don’t really know what to do with the Sydney Sweeney of it all, but I suppose this movie will be easy enough to ignore because it’s simply not all that good.
Posted Aug 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Splitsville (2025) Eric Langberg Covino and Marvin’s script is whip-smart, featuring almost-nonstop dialogue that bounces the characters off one another in increasingly-convoluted, emotionally-heightened ways.
Posted Aug 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Relay (2024) Eric Langberg Scottish director David Mackenzie has now made two great films about the slow collapse of American society ... This is no longer a land of possibility and promise; ours is a country full of decay and rot, both literal and moral.
Posted Aug 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Afternoons of Solitude (2024) Eric Langberg Bullfighting here is spiritual. It’s erotic. It’s elemental. Yes, it's barbaric, but it’s history, and it’s pageantry, an excuse to dress up in elaborate finery and strut around for the adoration of the crowd ... We are witnessing something true.

She Rides Shotgun (2025) Eric Langberg She Rides Shotgun suggests that the core of the country has rotted, fallen into disrepair and succumbed to corruption. There’s so much racism and resentment, so much of what coastal pundits would call “economic anxiety” now soured into something sinister.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Together (2025) Eric Langberg I can imagine a certain type of person watching this movie and coming away thinking it’s about the evils of “the woke agenda,” about the insidious way that queer acceptance has threatened the stability of heterosexual relationships.

Oh, Hi! (2025) Eric Langberg This is a quick, solid movie, a delightful romp performed by a quartet who seem like they’re having an absolute blast together. Not everything needs to be anything more than that.

Kill the Jockey (2024) Eric Langberg Kill the Jockey wastes zero time trying to define anyone’s sexuality, unwilling to engage with identity politics or to label what any of these relationships might mean or lead to; instead, these are simply people who ... are learning to love themselves.

Eddington (2025) Eric Langberg Eddington is a deeply-cynical film, one that (correctly) notes we’ve lost ourselves… if in fact we ever had actual selves worth holding onto. The lunatics run the asylum now.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
The Home (2025) Eric Langberg Sure, it might take too long to get there, but once THE HOME really gets going, it’s a vicious broadside against the elderly. How often can you say that? ... This movie straight-up hates old people, and you know what? It might be right to.

Superman (2025) Eric Langberg Fun, fizzy, and political, like Superman should be. Sincerity is back, baby!
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Amongst the Wolves (2024) Eric Langberg [Luke McQuillan] is able to hold the two sides of the film together through sheer force of will.
Posted Jul 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Dangerous Animals (2025) Eric Langberg In a crowded shark landscape, a movie that aims to be purely fun isn’t necessarily an anomaly; what makes Dangerous Animals stand out is that it very much succeeds.
Posted Jun 05, 2025  Edit critic review
The Life of Chuck (2024) Eric Langberg Mike Flanagan has me for life ... This is a man with something to say, and furthermore he’s a man who believes there are people out there, not yet worn away by the cynicism of the world, who still might be able to hear him.
Posted Jun 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) Eric Langberg Sure, it’s full of clichés and has all the emotional depth of a Live, Laugh, Love sign, but ... I’m not willing to write it off simply because it makes us uncomfortable to see someone take their own art so seriously.
Posted May 18, 2025  Edit critic review
The Surfer (2024) Eric Langberg 'The Surfer' is exactly what The Surfer says about waves: it’s a short, sharp shock of violence on the shore. I’ll add some other s-sounds to the list: it’s a stylish, sometimes-silly, suspenseful, stellar time at the cinema.

On Swift Horses (2024) Eric Langberg This is a movie full of ideas, painting a complex, sprawling, yet astonishingly-intimate portrait of what it was like to be a queer person discovering your identity in mid-century America.

Until Dawn (2025) Eric Langberg Trauma-horror had a good run. Really! I like a lot of those movies! But… someone, please, let us out of the loop the genre’s been stuck in.
Posted Apr 26, 2025  Edit critic review
The Shrouds (2024) Eric Langberg There are meditations to be found here on consciousness and conscience, love and loss, mortality and morality, and the difference between lovemaking and a pure, animalistic need for the feel of another body against your own.
Posted Apr 16, 2025  Edit critic review
The Amateur (2025) Eric Langberg I don't think we'll get as optimistic an espionage thriller as this, ever again. The new world The Amateur depicts is already gone, if it ever existed, and the espionage thriller is going to have to shift again quickly to keep up.
Posted Apr 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Misericordia (2024) Eric Langberg Misericordia is a film choked with suspense and jealousy, and it’s positively simmering with sexual tension between Jérémie and just about everyone he meets ... one of the best films of the year so far.
Posted Mar 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Black Bag (2025) Eric Langberg Soderbergh is back with Black Bag, a tightly-plotted, conversation-heavy spy thriller that plays like Agatha Christie meets Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ... for my money, it’s the best movie of the year so far.

Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna (2025) Eric Langberg It would be easy to be vindictive, to make Baldwin’s carelessness make him seem like a villain, but [Rachel Mason] resists that impulse. She’s a very empathetic filmmaker.
Posted Mar 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Clone Cops (2024) Eric Langberg The movie’s meandering structure lacks the laser-sharp satirical precision of, say, Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop, but it’s good for a laugh and it sneakily has something to say. Despite my misgivings, I’d happily watch a sequel.
Posted Feb 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Inheritance (2025) Eric Langberg It must have been exciting for everyone involved to shoot a movie this way; it’s too bad very little of that excitement ended up on screen.
Posted Jan 24, 2025  Edit critic review
No Other Land (2024) Eric Langberg Rachel Szor is credited with the film’s cinematography, and she often films Basel as he films; she manages to find interesting, geometric compositions on the fly, in the middle of dangerous situations that threaten to topple at any second into chaos.
Posted Jan 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Red Rooms (2023) Eric Langberg The final act of this film is harrowing. There are several sequences — elegant, restrained, upsetting bits where Kelly-Anne finally reveals herself — that are among the most disturbing I’ve seen on film in quite a while.
