5/5
Give Me the Ball! (2026) Mey Rude Documentaries like OJ: Made in America and Hoop Dreams beautifully weave social issues into sports, and Give Me the Ball! does the same. We may have an early frontrunner for the Oscar for Best Documentary.

Barbara Forever (2026) Mey Rude Barbara Hammer’s legacy, and this vibrant and important record of lesbian art, isn’t just secured with this film—it’s forever enshrined. This kind of movie is even more vital now than ever.

A+
Leviticus (2026) Mey Rude The film also perfectly balances its two genres, horror and coming of age... Leviticus is a perfect debut, and exactly the kind of horror gem you hope to find at film festivals.

Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) Mey Rude Punches you in the gut and transports you immediately back to your gangly teen self, making you cringe as if you're watching your own awkward memories and drowning in the isolation of teen girlhood.

Extra Geography (2026) Mey Rude It's the kind of movie that gives viewers second-hand mortification, nimbly transporting them back to their awkward teen years when every emotion and relationship spelled the end of the world.

I Want Your Sex (2026) Mey Rude Araki's latest film, his first since 2014's White Bird in a Blizzard, I Want Your Sex, recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, drawing scandalized gasps, bursts of laughter, and smiles all around.

C-
The Moment (2026) Mey Rude Watching Charli XCX's mockumentary about a Brat concert film, The Moment, was a bit like my first time trying coke: Surrounded by well-dressed cool people, but also underwhelming and surprisingly lacking any real type of kick.

B-
Wicked: For Good (2025) Mey Rude Wicked: For Good isn't the kind of landmark film that Part One was. Still, audiences will be delighted, entertained, and moved.

The Running Man (2025) Mey Rude Overall, The Running Man is fun, flashy, and exciting, and would be a terrific effort by a lesser filmmaker. Unfortunately, many fans will expect more from a master like Wright, and this film falls short of his standards.

Frankenstein (2025) Mey Rude Del Toro is already one of the greatest filmmakers of the 21st century. With Frankenstein, he's continued to cement a legacy that will delight and challenge film lovers for years to come.

B
The History of Sound (2025) Mey Rude Some might not find the story worth the wait. Still, for those that do, The History of Sound is a rewarding, yet tragic, film that will make your heart sing.

Time Cut (2024) Taylor Henderson Where the film cuts corners on side character arcs and violence, it makes up for in heart.
Posted Jun 10, 2025  Edit critic review
The People's Joker (2022) Mey Rude The People's Joker is a true triumph in filmmaking and is unlike any other movie you see this year. It's hilarious, weird, confrontational, and complex, and it will make you think in a way that no superhero movie has before.
Posted Jun 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Bones and All (2022) Taylor Henderson Bones and All is absolute chaos at every turn that makes for a delicious ride that may or may not make you hesitate the next time you handle raw meat.
Posted Jun 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Lonesome (2022) Taylor Henderson Though Lonesome intends to investigate the innate connections between violence, trauma, and sex, its point is largely muddled by the sparing plot...

Lilo & Stitch (2025) Moises Mendez II Disney's new Lilo & Stitch didn't understand the assignment when it comes to serving.

Sinners (2025) Mey Rude Sinners is a special movie. It's not only one of the most fun and inventive blockbusters in a while, but it also has real meat on its bones. This is a movie packed with both entertainment value and messages.

Enigma (2025) Mey Rude Through her work, Drucker is documenting vital parts of trans history — making sure that no one can deny that we've always been here, highlighting the fact that we will always be here, and underscoring the many ways in which no one can erase us.

A
Heightened Scrutiny (2025) Mey Rude The film presents Strangio's arguments plainly and logically. If cis children have access to this healthcare, trans kids should, too. If doctors and parents want to do specific treatments, they know better than lawmakers and political talking heads.

5/5
Blink Twice (2024) Stacey Yvonne Starring some of our most congenial faves, Blink Twice is a startling cautionary tale about the evil that can lay in men’s minds and the blindness that women can develop to it.

B
Jimpa (2025) Mey Rude More jaded viewers might grumble at the sentimentality and softness of the film, but in these times, a sentimental film about love, empathy, curiosity, and connection is a welcome and needed thing.

The Librarians (2025) Mey Rude The Librarians is a powerful and vital documentary at this point in history.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) Mey Rude Kiss of the Spider Woman is one of the most beautiful musicals in years, with every scene from Molina's story transporting us to the technicolor, meticulously designed and tailored world of Golden Age Hollywood musicals.

A+
The Wedding Banquet (2025) Mey Rude The Wedding Banquet had me belly laughing and full-body sobbing... In a time when half the country is trying to dictate what families can look like, The Wedding Banquet throws all of that out with its radical approach to love, connection, and joy.

Queer (2024) Mey Rude Queer is a unique film, a brilliant film, and a deeply and profoundly odd film, and it won't be a film everyone loves.

A+
Wicked (2024) Mey Rude While Grande has been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for her role, I think Erivo deserves it just as much, if not more. She's god-like in the role and an unstoppable force of potential, wishing for a better life. She's everything Elphaba should be and more.

C
Gladiator II (2024) Mey Rude However, while the film is a violent delight to watch, it's best suited for the big screen. The action and acting live up to the original, but unfortunately, the story and dialogue don't have the legendary feeling the original did.

Anora (2024) Mey Rude Baker is cementing himself as one of the best actors' directors in Hollywood. With Anora sure to get Madison some awards attention, each of his last four movies will have put actors in that position.

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Mey Rude It doesn't matter if he's really Arthur or the Joker. It doesn't matter if he wins his trial, it doesn't matter if society is broken. It doesn't matter if he gets the girl. It doesn't matter if he dies. And it doesn't matter if you see this movie.

Emilia Pérez (2024) Mey Rude At once a transition narrative, crime thriller, musical, and romance, Emilia Pérez is a Shakespearean-level tragedy that grapples with questions of love, identity, forgiveness, and grief.

2.4
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Dana Han-Klein Nightmare inducing, but not for the right reasons. It feels more like a merchandizing ploy than an expression of any sort of creative originality. Some things are better left to rest in peace.

3.9/5
The Substance (2024) Dana Han-Klein Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley give haunting and horrific performances. The ending of the film is a chaotic crescendo that will probably leave you aghast. For the squeamish: this will test your limits.

3.6/5
Speak No Evil (2024) Dana Han-Klein McAvoy's ability to turn into a monster on a dime is full force here, though sometimes the film is over reliant on his skillset to muscle through. For fans of the original this is a much tamer interpretation.

Will & Harper (2024) Mey Rude A powerful and deeply beautiful story about friendship, allyship, and love, and is the kind of documentary that can truly shift public opinion. It should be seen by as many people as possible, and hopefully, it will change many opinions and lives.

Alien: Romulus (2024) Mey Rude Alien: Romulus is an instantly rewatchable gory fright fest that raises the stakes and shows what makes this sci-fi franchise great. Álvarez is a brilliant horror director and makes Romulus the most terrifying entry in the franchise since 1986's Aliens.

1.5/5
Borderlands (2024) Dana Han-Klein Blanchett is stuck throughout with a smirk pasted onto her flawless face (we assume its masking her soul slowly being crushed). Newcomers and longtime fans alike will find themselves questioning the quality of the game after witnessing this catastrophe.

Cuckoo (2024) Mey Rude In a year of standout horror like I Saw the TV Glow, Longlegs, MaXXXine, and A Quiet Place: Day One, Cuckoo might not stand out, but it's definitely worth your time.

2/5
Trap (2024) Dana Han-Klein We have to give Shyamalan credit, he used the promise of a one location escape thriller and somehow ensnares you in a glorified concert film for his daughter. If that's not love we're not sure what is? Too bad it comes at the cost of plot or amusement.

Twisters (2024) Mey Rude Overall, the film definitely delivers on thrills and heart-pounding action, but falls short when it comes to characters.

Longlegs (2024) Mey Rude Longlegs is a dreadful film. It's creepy and gross and off-putting, and I loved every minute of iit. It doesn't rely on gore for scares, but when the gore is there, it is highly disturbing and will stick with you for a long time.

Sing Sing (2023) Mey Rude Domingo is truly triumphant as Divine G, delivering a performance that is equal parts heart, rage, beauty, and freedom. Few actors can tap into the deep recesses of humanity like he can.

4/5
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) Dana Han-Klein Nyong’o has already proven with “Us” that she is a beyond compelling silent star. “A Quiet Place: Day One” is worth a trip to the box office for.

3/5
The Bikeriders (2023) Dana Han-Klein More tapestry of acting showcases than a coherent film (though Hardy's moments shine). The narrative device of relaying the story through interviews makes it aggressively guilty of telling us, not showing us. Even motorcycle lovers may struggle to connect

Fancy Dance (2023) Mey Rude Gladstone is knocking on the Academy’s door once again with a subtly strong and unflinchingly bare turn as a woman hustling and living on the rez, trying to find her missing sister and get her niece to a powwow in Erica Tremblay's Fancy Dance.

4/5
Inside Out 2 (2024) Dana Han-Klein While a perfectly pleasant experience at the movies, Inside Out 2 doesn’t feel as complex or sophisticated as its predecessor. It's clever and there are laughs, but we recommend you temper your expectations if you hold the first one in high regard.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Mey Rude Much of the time, Furiosa seems like it could be deleted scenes from Fury Road, and that's not a bad thing... Miller knows what he's doing, and none of the new lore surrounding these familiar names is a let down at all.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) Mey Rude Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the strongest entry in the modern franchise, and a worthy successor to the recent reign of Caesar.

Challengers (2024) Mey Rude In the end, Challengers is a love story between its two male leads, with the entire runtime showing a will-they-won’t-they, back-and-forth between them, not unlike a tennis match.

Problemista (2023) Mey Rude Torres wonderfully taps into so many emotions, from the desire to be loved and the fear of being close to someone, to the dynamics of immigrant children and their parents in their home country, to the struggles of navigating the American Nightmare.

B+
Stress Positions (2024) Mey Rude The first great comedy about the COVID era is finally here... Stress Positions might not be for everyone, and it might be a little too caustic for some straight-laced viewers, but that makes it a stronger film with more to say.
