6/10
Shelter (2026) Andrew Parker While the plot of Shelter is as predictable as these things tend to get, the film as a whole keeps things entertaining and refreshing by actually allowing its cast members to give well crafted performances amid some nifty action sequences

Send Help (2026) Andrew Parker Although it takes a roundabout and not always emotionally logical way of arriving at its destination, Send Help is a fun, nasty, and rousing bit of wish fulfilment for anyone who has felt picked on or bullied in the workplace by an idiotic boss.

A Private Life (2025) Andrew Parker Zlotowski deals with a lot of loaded topics ripe for emotional explanations and payoffs, but none of them offer much in the way of primal or intellectual impact.

Charlie the Wonderdog (2025) Andrew Parker Charlie the Wonderdog is a whole lotta nothing. It’s not bad enough to be offensive, creative enough to be interesting, or anything at all worth talking about. It’s just there. It exists.

All You Need Is Kill (2025) Andrew Parker [T]he kind of pop art story that doesn’t want to drag things out or bog things down. It offers up the barest necessities for one’s enjoyment and doesn’t let up on the gas unless absolutely necessary.

9/10
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Andrew Parker Straddling the odd, primal line between being highly entertaining and upsetting, this follow-up to its comparatively subdued predecessor from last year... goes for pure overkill and succeeds.

76 Days Adrift (2024) Andrew Parker It’s Callahan’s recounting of a lengthy, life threatening scenario that makes this one so compelling and riveting; less so the construction of the documentary itself.

7/10
DJ Ahmet (2025) Andrew Parker DJ Ahmet is cinematic comfort done well, with Unkovski preferring quiet moments to saccharine sweetness or an abundance of grand, sweeping gestures.

The Plague (2025) Andrew Parker Polinger’s approach to a bleak time in the lives of many young people is as unsettling as it is delicate; refined as it is revolting to sometimes watch.

6/10
We Bury the Dead (2024) Andrew Parker It’s not a consistently assured film, especially down the stretch, but We Bury the Dead has a lot of good ideas, notions, performances, and smart writing to keep things engaging.

The Housemaid (2025) Andrew Parker It’s the perfect antidote for heavier awards fare and bloated, inescapable studio blockbusters. Sure, it’s a popcorn movie at heart, but sometimes The Housemaid is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Andrew Parker Although Avatar: Fire and Ash is yet another gorgeous looking technical achievement from director and co-writer James Cameron, this third instalment in his boundary pushing franchise is a major letdown on every other level.

Peter Hujar's Day (2025) Andrew Parker Even if the viewer doesn’t have prior knowledge of any of the figures, luminaries, and acquaintances being brought up in conversation, Sachs and Whishaw find ways of making everything accessible amid such an experimental concept.

8/10
Dust Bunny (2025) Andrew Parker It’s a niche film and a crowd pleaser at the same time; a studious exercise in genre homage that seeks to give audiences a chaotic mash-up the likes of which they’ll never see again.

La Grazia (2025) Andrew Parker Maybe Sorrentino has gone soft as of late. Or maybe he has just figured out how to better modulate his impulses and fetishes and turn them into stories that have just as much substance as they do style.

7/10
Cutting Through Rocks (2025) Andrew Parker This could benefit from some additional external perspective, but as a series of well observed moments that resonate on a level that most viewers will be able to understand, Cutting Through Rocks is worth the struggle.

9/10
Measures for a Funeral (2025) Andrew Parker It sounds dry, and at points it can be, but Bohdanowicz has crafted a work about the art of research that’s finds warmth in all things academic.

5/10
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (2025) Andrew Parker There’s a lot to like about Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, but it’s essentially a feature length commercial catered towards die hard fans who want to see these characters on the big screen and/or they can’t wait for the new series to drop early next month.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Andrew Parker With the holiday season ramping up, Zootopia 2 is a safe, solid, and likeable bet that the whole family can enjoy with ease.

7/10
Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Andrew Parker A rollicking, blood soaked thrill ride that takes the best elements of the first 2022 outing, cranks them to maximum speed, and watches the gleeful carnage.

6/10
Zodiac Killer Project (2025) Andrew Parker It’s not 100% successful as a film on its own, but then again, neither was the project Shackleton set out to make in the first place. Zodiac Killer Project is confounding, but also unique in its willingness to admit defeat.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Andrew Parker There’s a welcome level of honesty with the audience in these movies that sets them apart. They tell you that there’s magic afoot. And what you get is magic.

5/10
Being Eddie (2025) Andrew Parker The tone of Being Eddie is "some things happened in my life and I’m grateful for almost all of it," which is fine, but a bit dull unless all you want to hear about are the hits and high points.

Playdate (2025) Andrew Parker It’s the kind of “movie” that gives “content” a bad name. It’s not a movie you watch to enjoy. It’s something that happens to you.

7/10
Nuremberg (2025) Andrew Parker Nuremberg keeps the spectacle of the courtroom drama at bay as long as it can, with Vanderbilt preferring to focus on a small number of key players and their individual roles in a larger picture.

5/10
Predator: Badlands (2025) Andrew Parker It’s fine if all you want is a movie about a swarthy antihero slicing and dicing his way through an interplanetary jungle, but don’t expect much more than that.

Christy (2025) Andrew Parker There’s no ambiguity or subtext to be found in Michôd and co-writer Mirrah Foulkes’ script, leading to a movie where every twist, wrinkle, and punch can be telegraphed well in advance.

Space Cadet (2025) Andrew Parker Space Cadet is a kind film that everyone could use right about now.

Lesbian Space Princess (2025) Andrew Parker While the title might be simple and to the point, the delights of Lesbian Space Princess are both hilarious and pleasingly layered.

Köln 75 (2025) Andrew Parker The two tones set by writer-director Ido Fluk are hyper-specific and unpleasingly broad, and from moment to moment it’s hard to tell which movie will emerge next.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Andrew Parker Just like White’s performance, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere plays the person, not the legend, with the film acting as a perfect reflection of the album that provides Cooper’s narrative backbone.

Bugonia (2025) Andrew Parker It’s a lot to take in, but in Lanthimos’ hands, feeling awful about the state of the world is uniquely entertaining.

Who Killed the Montreal Expos? (2025) Andrew Parker There’s plenty of buck passing to be found in Who Killed the Montreal Expos?, and the saddest part is that when Poisson puts everything together, all parties involved turn out to be right and wrong in equal measure.

Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Andrew Parker Instead of a movie that has rich connections and detail, Ballad of a Small Player is all flash and storytelling gaps that frustratingly make it feel like a half thought out idea for a film and not a fully fleshed out concept.

Frankenstein (2025) Andrew Parker Fans of the source, previous adaptations, and del Toro’s overall career are in for a treat with this.

The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Andrew Parker Although it fully unfolds over the course of a couple of years in Ocala, Florida, The Perfect Neighbor has the immediacy and punch of something that feels like it’s unfolding in real time...

Architecton (2024) Andrew Parker It’s a fine way to round out Kossakovsky’s trilogy.

John Candy: I Like Me (2025) Andrew Parker Hanks frames John Candy: I Like Me as a long overdue tribute show, not breaking the celebrity documentary biopic mold, but also never making any missteps.

Bone Lake (2024) Andrew Parker In the hands of capable filmmaker Mercedes Bryce Morgan, this sex and blood drenched mania lands with assured impact and a lot of confidence.

Predators (2025) Andrew Parker It’s a deeply personal work for Osit, and as Predators progresses, he clearly becomes more disappointed and disillusioned at the many shortcomings he finds and an overall lack of accountability all around. [V]iewers will likely feel similarly trampled.

Good Boy (2025) Andrew Parker Told from the point of view of a dog trying to protect his best human friend from dark, sinister forces, Good Boy filmmaker elicits a tremendous canine performance from director Ben Leonberg’s pooch, Indy, and that turns out to be the secret sauce here.

Anemone (2025) Andrew Parker The underbaked, yet overburdened drama Anemone is proof that great performances and flowery, flowing prose don’t always make for a great movie.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Andrew Parker Johnson fully embodies Kerr on screen, delivering a career best performance that’s every bit as good as people have been saying it is. Johnson turns down his star power here, but keeps a healthy amount of charisma when portraying Kerr.

The Lost Bus (2025) Andrew Parker While this entry into Greengrass’ filmography has a bit more Hollywood theatricality in its later stages than the gritty realism the director is known for, it’s still a harrowing experience to sit through.

Plainclothes (2025) Andrew Parker Emmi gets under the viewer’s skin, burrows straight through the body, and leaves a mark with his exceptional examination of a closeted man coming apart at the seams.

Eleanor the Great (2025) Andrew Parker A solid, safe, and stable bit of middlebrow entertainment, Eleanor the Great wants to tell a tale of friendship, aging, and little white lies in as effective a way as possible. And it works.

One Battle After Another (2025) Andrew Parker I hate saying that a film is made for the current moment, because such a sentiment seems trite, but Anderson’s stroke of genius certainly fits that bill better than many other movies saddled with the same moniker.

Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (2025) Andrew Parker Farsi is able to convey Hassouna’s warmth, gregariousness, and strength with such purity that the film functions like the viewer is trying to communicate with a loved one of their own in a similar situation.

The History of Sound (2025) Andrew Parker The History of Sound is a downbeat, period romance where its greatest asset is an overall sense of delicacy.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Andrew Parker I mean this in the best possible way, but A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has what people like to call “big theatre kid energy.”
