Caught by Love (2026) Maddy Casale The most unique and engaging thing about Caught by Love is its stunning shots of Malta. Take that away, and there’s not enough emotional honesty, charm, or plot stakes to set this movie apart from other run-of-the-mill rom-coms.

Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) John Serba Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie is just fine.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Beast of War (2025) John Serba Beast of War is far from groundbreaking, and the story is thin. But it’s also a taut 87 minutes, and offers just enough of a variation on familiar stories to be worth your time.

The Big Fake (2026) John Serba The Big Fake is more period fashion show than intriguing drama.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) Maddy Casale While Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is definitely not the most accessible or comprehensible movie for the general viewer, it will likely be a homerun for anyone who falls into its intended target audience.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Marshall Shaffer Mr. Nobody Against Putin provides an invaluable look at daily life under Putin’s Russia.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) John Serba It’s a testament to the film’s tonal ineffectiveness that I kept wondering why, as Sarah and David allowed themselves to be yanked through this dull, maudlin star-crossed-lover horse-manure story full of cloyingly precious tender moments.

Twinless (2025) John Serba Twinless is enough of a rollercoaster that you feel like you’re still on it the day after you watch it. It clung to me like a shroud. It’s not immediately likable, but the more you ponder, the greater its status in the mind.

Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (2026) John Serba Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart is well-meaning, it’s well-done, it’s unexceptional – but it’s also worthwhile.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) John Serba It takes a bit of intestinal fortitude to make it through Search for SquarePants’ surreal joke barrage. But you’ve probably been acclimated to the SpongeBob waters by now.

Love on the Amazon (2026) Liz Kocan While Love on the Amazon has its moments, there are better versions and variations on this film out there.
Posted Jan 22, 2026  Edit critic review
Rental Family (2025) John Serba Rental Family is a finely crafted melodrama with a strong central performance that nonetheless reeks of unfulfilled potential. Mixed feelings then, but it tugs at our heartstrings in a meaningful enough manner to warrant a mild recommendation.
Posted Jan 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Song Sung Blue (2025) John Serba Song Sung Blue perfectly channels the mega-cornball showbiz majesty of the hokemeister Diamond himself, who wrote and sang songs that transformed base emotions into grandiose gestures.
Posted Jan 17, 2026  Edit critic review
The Rip (2026) John Serba The Rip delivers as advertised, albeit in a disappointingly unmemorable manner compared to Carnahan’s better films.
Posted Jan 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Bone Lake (2024) John Serba Bone Lake is no game-changer, but its rock solid filmmaking and fleeting flirtations with greatness has us looking forward to Morgan’s next film.
Posted Jan 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Good Night, and Good Luck Live (2025) John Serba It’s easy to see why the play earned a handful of Tony nominations for its convincing mise-en-scene.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
Soul on Fire (2025) John Serba Soul on Fire seems to think it can coast on the inherent power of its true story, but its sub-par execution doesn’t do its subject much justice.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) John Serba People We Meet on Vacation is engineered to be predictably satisfying, and offers few real surprises. It’s generally content to be vague on character details and heavy on the romantic yearning, rendering it less substantial than it could be.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Predator: Badlands (2025) John Serba Oh, and stop your whining that Predator has gone PG-13 and lost its edge. Badlands delivers the goods enough that you won’t miss the blood and guts.

10DANCE (2025) Johnny Loftus There is a ton of heart and a lot of lush looks in 10Dance’s portrayal of the burgeoning romantic bond between two pro ballroom dancers.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Home (2025) John Serba The plot works its way through its hodgepodge of this ‘n’ that plot mechanisms to get to a conclusion that’ underwhelming and over the top at the same time.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) John Serba Hell of a movie. But to actually recommend it to anyone? That’s a bridge too far, my friends.

Ricky Gervais: Mortality (2025) Sean L. McCarthy The brutal truth is that the farther he becomes removed from his classic works with Stephen Merchant, the less Gervais has to offer.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Marcello Hernández: American Boy (2026) Sean L. McCarthy This is a classic get-to-know-you debut special, and it’s fun not only to see how Hernandéz shines in the spotlight, but how expressive and emotional he gets displaying his love for his family and his culture.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story (2025) John Serba Evil Influencer’s flimsiness underscores its inability to justify its existence as a piece of worthwhile journalism.
Posted Jan 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Lost in Paradise (2026) Liz Kocan Lost in Paradise is a fun, tropical adventure, but it owes most of its success to the chemistry between its two leads, Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding.
Posted Jan 05, 2026  Edit critic review
The Son of a Thousand Men (2025) John Serba The film is at times quite beautiful, but the interwoven drama and overlapping character arcs are leached of subtlety and humor.
Posted Jan 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Groom & Two Brides (2025) Radhika Menon Groom and Two Brides is a sweet, though predictable, love triangle story that ultimately has the winning ingredients.
Posted Jan 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuremberg (2025) John Serba You’ll wish Nuremberg was more willing to get its hands dirty in exploring the inner lives of its characters, and less willing to conform to genre standards. But it’s a rock-solid watch nonetheless.
Posted Jan 05, 2026  Edit critic review
I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not (2025) John Serba The doc is eminently watchable and absorbing, and Zenovich lets the facts sit out in the open without judgment or justification.
Posted Jan 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Death Before the Wedding (2025) Radhika Menon The racism of the central character undercuts any humor from the film.

The Jester 2 (2025) John Serba While watching The Jester 2, I wanted to cast a spell and make myself disappear.

Wicked: For Good (2025) John Serba Wicked: For Not As Good.
Posted Jan 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Tom Segura: Teacher (2025) Sean L. McCarthy Segura doesn’t seem to have enough new thoughts or experiences worth developing into another new hour. You can get away with trifling material on tour. On a special, not so much.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Cover-Up (2025) John Serba The story of Hersh spotlights some of modern America's darkest, ugliest moments, balanced out by the need to hold power to account for such things.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) John Serba The narrative slowly, witlessly, listlessly builds to the inevitable unleashing of mayhem, and to call said mayhem underwhelming is gross understatement.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Strange Harvest (2024) John Serba It’s by no means a game-changer, but Strange Harvest offers enough of a variation on genre tropes to make it worth horror mavens’ time.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Sentimental Value (2025) John Serba Another triumph for Trier.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Goodbye June (2025) John Serba Goodbye June offers a perfectly acceptable balance of warm fuzzies and sad droopies.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) John Serba This interpretation of a trying time inside Bruce’s head is a dour time at the movies.

The Life of Chuck (2024) John Serba Nice movie! Could be better though. Approach it with, yes, cautious optimism.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Die My Love (2025) John Serba It’s surreal and bizarre but it’s also painfully real and raw. Funny as it can be, there’s nothing ridiculous about it. Ramsay and Lawrence traffic in uncut pain and frustration. If you don’t feel it, check your pulse.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Eden (2024) John Serba It’s a big, exaggerated, thematically flimsy mess that’s fun to wallow in once you coalesce to its madness, give up on keeping clean and just let it splatter mud all over you.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Elway (2025) Scott Hines It’s not breaking any new ground in sports documentary filmmaking, but Elway is a competent, smart look at one of the defining figures of his era in the NFL. It’s a good fill-in if Sunday’s games end up duds.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The Christmas Baby (2025) Maddy Casale Bolstered by strong writing and performances as well as queer talent both in front of and behind the camera, The Christmas Baby is a heart-warming and entertaining movie you won’t want to miss this holiday season.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Ne Zha II (2025) John Serba It strains too hard for laughs with urine- and vomit-based humor and a general strain of obnoxiousness among thinly sketched characters.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Breakdown: 1975 (2025) Johnny Loftus In the end, Breakdown feels like a gloss. Watchable, recognizable, full of podcast guest prompt nuggets, and ultimately kinda shallow. A Netflixian survey of film and cultural history.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
A Make or Break Holiday (2025) Liz Kocan With a truly funny script and generally hilarious but heartfelt performances, A Make or Break Holiday is a can’t miss entry on the Countdown to Christmas.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Queens of the Dead (2025) John Serba Queens half-hearts its social commentary, renders action sequences rote and never goes deep enough to engage us with the characters’ emotions.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Relay (2024) John Serba The film’s first 90 minutes are intricate and engrossing, with enjoyable dramatic developments and payoffs nestled in the psychology of surveillance, paranoia and human connection/disconnection.
