Who Killed Alex Odeh? (2026) Robert Daniels While "Who Killed Alex Odeh?" is certainly an imperative subject, one whose reverberations still have meaning, that significance is so undercut by the rote filmmaking that flattens the human at its center.

Soul Patrol (2026) Robert Daniels At times, "Soul Patrol" can be a harrowing viewing.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Joybubbles (2026) Robert Daniels Its modesty and sincerity, which could easily be confused as saccharine, arrive with an assuming commitment to the spirit of its remarkable subject that it’s downright dream-affirming.

Take Me Home (2026) Robert Daniels For much of Liz Sargent’s "Take Me Home," a modest, immersive story about marginalization and grief, one is captivated by its quiet approach.

Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) Robert Daniels While "Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty" is certainly flawed, with its swirling palette, costumes, and unwavering performances, it’s also undeniably memorable.

Bedford Park (2026) Robert Daniels A confidently crafted gem, writer/director Stephanie Ahn’s "Bedford Park" is an increasingly rare kind of film.

Silenced (2026) Marya E. Gates It’s a chilling reminder that there is so much more work to do, and no matter what the cost is to you personally or professionally, it’s worth it if you can save a life.

One in a Million (2026) Marya E. Gates This doc also begins at the end, with footage of grown-up Isra’a visiting Syria for the first time in ten years. This kind of cold open deflates the emotional journey we’re about to go on with Isra’a before it’s even started.

Birds of War (2026) Marya E. Gates The only major missteps in the doc are the overwrought score and the cold open, which uses footage shot by Habak as he flees Syria toward the Turkish border at night.

The Gallerist (2026) Robert Daniels Let me be clear: Cathy Yan’s absurdist art world thriller "The Gallerist" is pretty dreadful.

Wicker (2026) Robert Daniels Fischer and Wilson know that even the most fantastical must feel close and emotionally real. "Wicker," thankfully, is as real as it gets.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Robert Daniels A vital reclamation of a precious history.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) Robert Daniels "Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant" is a thin film that survives on energy and humor, of which it has plenty.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Buddy (2026) Robert Daniels A delightfully bleak, but mostly missed opportunity.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Leviticus (2026) Robert Daniels The filmmaker does land a perfect final note whose sense of devotion is divine and aching.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Hot Water (2026) Brian Tallerico There’s a tenderness to "Hot Water" that’s admirable … but too much of what could feel true about this dramedy feels punctured by manufactured beats that telegraph and underline feelings.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
Carousel (2026) Brian Tallerico Chris Pine is so good that he makes the film worth seeing. I just wish the ride was a bit smoother overall.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story (2026) Brian Tallerico While the film about her sometimes feels a bit bio-doc generic ... and runs about 15-20 minutes too long, her story is clearly one that more people need to hear—people who love comedy and people who are struggling to maintain their own stability.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
The Incomer (2026) Brian Tallerico 'The Incomer’ can verge on being overly quirky, but Rankin, O’Rourke, and Gleeson make such smart choices throughout, not just in comic timing but in the traps they avoid.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
I Want Your Sex (2026) Brian Tallerico At a certain point, it feels like 'I Want Your Sex' is about to get a bit sharper teeth, but it’s consistently funny, along with being a further reminder that Cooper Hoffman can do just about anything.

2.5/4
The Moment (2026) Monica Castillo 'The Moment' is something different, a big swing into the mockumentary genre satirizing the pressures of pop stardom and the struggle for creative control.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Mother of Flies (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz But there are so many compensations that it’s very much worth seeing for anyone who loves horror—especially the atmospheric and gory, dread-based type, rather than the kind that is single-mindedly obsessed with staging jump-scares.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
1/4
Clika (2026) Monica Castillo For a movie that should be about high stakes, all-or-nothing risks, there was almost no heat until the last quarter of the movie.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
In Cold Light (2025) Sheila O'Malley A lot of thrillers are exciting but empty. 'In Cold Light' is thrilling but very full in unexpected and complicated ways.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
H Is for Hawk (2025) Isaac Feldberg The film’s strengths lie squarely with Foy, whose performance is restrained where it should be and revelatory at some moments you don’t expect.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Big Fake (2026) Glenn Kenny The hair-raising narrative content notwithstanding, the movie doesn’t create much emotional traction.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Simon Abrams Gans’ sequel delivers more of the same, so it likely won’t impress anyone who doesn’t already enjoy getting lost in the fog.

3.5/4
Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz One of its more quietly revelatory qualities is how it captures the way authoritarianism accelerates during wartime.
Posted Jan 22, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
Mercy (2026) Richard Roeper By the halfway mark of the screen-popping and kinetic but ultimately tiresome and borderline dopey AI thriller 'Mercy,' I found myself yearning for a wireless mouse so I could log off.

3/4
Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (2026) Richard Roeper While there’s no new ground to be covered—Elizabeth’s captors were long ago brought to justice—it’s still a journalistically thorough and fascinating look back at the story.

3/4
Night Patrol (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz 'Night Patrol' is far from perfect, but it’s got a certain something that pulls you in. The bleakness of its worldview is matched by the integrity of its filmmaking and performances.

2/4
Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz That 'Deepfaking Sam Altman' is earnest and curious and full of fun thought prompts ultimately makes it more frustrating than a flat-out bad movie would have been.

2.5/4
A Private Life (2025) Peyton Robinson Despite an overall unsatisfying resolution to these inquiries, the ideas that the film prompts, coupled with Foster’s nuanced performance, make for a compelling enough character study.

2.5/4
Shuffle (2025) Craig D. Lindsey Is ‘Shuffle' well-intentioned? Obviously. Is ‘Shuffle' well-executed? Hmmm, I dunno about all that.

3.5/4
Sound of Falling (2025) Sheila O'Malley 'Sound of Falling' operates like a ghost story, complete with a haunted house, but the ghosts aren’t supernatural. The ghost is history.

3.5/4
Seeds (2025) Brian Tallerico Moments have a tactile intimacy that’s incredibly powerful, placing these ordinary people in an almost timeless continuum of seemingly ordinary behavior that becomes extraordinary in memory, or through the eyes of a camera.

3/4
All You Need Is Kill (2025) Simon Abrams Studio 4°C remains the best reason to see 'All You Need is Kill’; the animators pack so many enriching details into their adaptation that even the most incidental scene feels consequential.

3/4
The Rip (2026) Brian Tallerico It's a testament to Joe Carnahan’s direction that there’s not a false note in this talented ensemble.

2/4
Space/Time (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz … the hurtling camerawork, jagged edits, brutal physical confrontations, and bone-rattling sound design will send you home feeling like you’ve had an experience.

3/4
Holding Liat (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz The movie itself tends more towards the force majeure approach, though it can’t help but get specific when it focuses on Yehuda.

3.5/4
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Robert Daniels A gnarly, mind-bending trek through inhumanity.

4/4
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Matt Zoller Seitz It’s unabashedly inspired by the best crime dramas from the 1970s, including 'Dog Day Afternoon,' 'The Sugarland Express,' ‘Network,' and ‘Badlands,’ and can stand proudly alongside them.
Posted Jan 10, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
My Neighbor Adolf (2022) Simon Abrams It’s still sometimes nice to be reminded of how much value a talented ham like Kier can be, like when he wiggles his shoulders as Herzog teases Polsky about Kastenbrunner’s sex appeal. ... the rest of the joke could stand a little workshopping.

3.5/4
Magellan (2025) Glenn Kenny ‘Magellan,' about the titular Portuguese explorer, clocks in at a relatively tidy two hours and 45 minutes, making it practically an ideal starter picture for those curious about Diaz’s work

3.5/4
OBEX (2025) Zachary Lee ‘Obex’ is sympathetic to the ways we’ll migrate to digital worlds to escape the hell of embodied living, but it sweetly and gently reminds us about the beautiful inconvenience of community.

3.5/4
Young Mothers (2025) Nell Minow The film is deeply sympathetic to the impossibly difficult choices these girls face and respectful of their efforts to do better for their babies than their parents did for them.

2/4
I Was a Stranger (2024) Monica Castillo Compassion begins at home, and 'I Was a Strange’ seems to have missed that part of the journey.

2/4
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Peter Sobczynski For the most part, ‘Greenland 2: Migration' does not work, too often coming across like a $60 million work of uninspired fan fiction.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Primate (2025) Clint Worthington It’s a flimsy series of contrivances to get a shockingly realistic ape to rip the faces off of stupid human beings in increasingly creative ways. What more do you want, really?
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
4/4
All That's Left of You (2025) Robert Daniels "All That’s Left of You," a multi-generational Palestinian epic, is the kind of accomplished, immaculately rendered film that’s indicative of a director who’s learned much and is ready to seize more.
