Zootopia 2 (2025) Rubén Rosario Bush and Howard have crafted a treasure trove for kids, heavy on the slapstick and expertly conceived setpieces. Thanks to some cheeky double entendres and pop culture callouts, it's also great fun for grown-ups.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Rubén Rosario Wake Up Dead Man remains buoyant popcorn fare that fuses the most appealing elements of the previous films.

Hamnet (2025) Rubén Rosario While the film is all thumbs as an artfully rendered love story, its wan village romance gives way to a considerably more effective portrait of grief.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Wicked: For Good (2025) Rubén Rosario Holiday cheese, anchored by an unlikely bond between two polar opposites and the irresistible chemistry between its stars. Even though it still left me hungering for more of the vinegar in Maguire's novel, Chu still manages to weave his own magic.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Rubén Rosario It nails Springsteen's humane touch.
Posted Nov 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Train Dreams (2025) Rubén Rosario It's trying so hard to be uplifting that it remains stubbornly, maddeningly earthbound.
Posted Nov 14, 2025  Edit critic review
The Mastermind (2025) Rubén Rosario There are no easy answers here, no pat resolutions and certainly no Pop Psych 101 explanations, just perceptive, skillfully realized moviemaking that reshapes what begins as a crime comedy into something more poignant and melancholy.

Blue Moon (2025) Rubén Rosario [Linklater] gives a damn about Hart and this transitional moment in American theater, he makes it easy for us to do the same.

Frankenstein (2025) Rubén Rosario If ever there was a case of a horror movie being in dire need to be trashier and more unhinged, you're looking at del Toro's Exhibit A.

Bugonia (2025) Rubén Rosario Bugonia is undermined at just about every turn by its half-baked, self-satisfied script.

River of Grass (2025) Rubén Rosario River of Grass is a steel dandelion, a wistful look back that points the way forward. It jumps in with eyes wide open.
Posted Oct 27, 2025  Edit critic review
After the Hunt (2025) Rubén Rosario The film ends up being more about the generational chasm in academia than about #MeToo, an ostensibly central theme that ends up falling to the sidelines.
Posted Oct 21, 2025  Edit critic review
TRON: Ares (2025) Rubén Rosario Despite its slick surfaces, some nifty gadgets and a game cast that also includes Gillian Anderson as Julian's judgmental, skeptical mother, “Ares” can't overcome its central stumbling block.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Rubén Rosario Bigelow and Oppenheim turn back the clock two more times in an attempt to complete their mosaic of despair, but every time that happens, it cuts off the tension and further dilutes its cumulative impact.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
Plainclothes (2025) Rubén Rosario The performances are so strong, the stars' chemistry so beguiling, they almost overcome the shortcomings that hold “Plainclothes” back. What ultimately does the movie in is a misbegotten framing device...
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Anemone (2025) Rubén Rosario For all the self-examination on display, the characters in “Anemone” are wafer-thin, and that makes an already long film, clocking in at just over two hours, feel even longer.
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
The History of Sound (2025) Rubén Rosario You want to pick up “History” and cradle it, shield it from the detractors who are unmoved by it.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
One Battle After Another (2025) Rubén Rosario In “One Battle After Another,” Anderson perfects one skillfully staged set piece after another, and the energy never flags.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Rubén Rosario Following a buoyant start, “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” loses its way. It lets self-help bromides dilute an impish irreverence that had kept things interesting. You feel the pixie dust wear off on this not-so-magical mystery tour.

The Life of Chuck (2024) Rubén Rosario The Life of Chuck shows that Flanagan's ambition and willingness to play with structure are only dwarfed by his all-encompassing tenderness. Give it a spin.
Posted Sep 19, 2025  Edit critic review
The Long Walk (2025) Rubén Rosario A wrenching melodrama for dudes, one that's not afraid to plumb the depths of despair but is fond enough of its characters to leave room for a little light amid the darkness.
Posted Sep 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Fallen Fruit (2024) Rubén Rosario Fallen Fruit isn't rotten, exactly, just unremittingly bland.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
A Night Like This (2025) Rubén Rosario A film like this needs to feel like it's unfolding organically in order to work, but as “A Night Like This” takes us from one unlikely situation to the next, one can't help but feel the contrivances pile up.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Americana (2025) Rubén Rosario Tost struggles to balance the myriad elements he has introduced, and just as he bungles the climax because he lets it go on too long, “Americana” ends up feeling lumpy and oddly anticlimactic.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
The Naked Gun (2025) Rubén Rosario The Naked Gun never quite regains its footing.
Posted Aug 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) Rubén Rosario As for the film's title, these are not so much weapons as props [Cregger] moves around to satisfy his basest instincts. I ain't buying what he's selling, and what he's selling is vacuous nonsense.
Posted Aug 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Rubén Rosario In short, this handsomely mounted but stiff superhero tale is boring, sedate to the point of somnolence.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) Rubén Rosario It's tempting to call it a guilty pleasure, but this satisfied reviewer does not feel the least bit guilty about enjoying it.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Rubén Rosario This stinker is ugly on the inside, and the rot runs deep.
Posted Jul 10, 2025  Edit critic review
F1 The Movie (2025) Rubén Rosario Kosinski tries to rally the troops for the climactic race, which is more engrossing than the rest, but the eleventh-hour burst of energy comes too late in the game.
Posted Jul 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Rubén Rosario Monster movie fans clamoring for a five-course banquet are here left with a flavorless dish, a corporate product that keeps reminding you of its disposable nature, then has the gall to peddle an anti-corporate message.
Posted Jul 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Materialists (2025) Rubén Rosario If anything, “Materialists” is anti-romance, and despite some leaden stabs at levity (not Song's forte), it's not funny in the least.
Posted Jun 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Rent Free (2024) Rubén Rosario Andrés provides a wise, bittersweet response, delivering a character-driven keeper that's clear-eyed about these friends' shortcomings yet fiercely affectionate about how their mutual devotion deepens and evolves.
Posted Jun 30, 2025  Edit critic review
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Rubén Rosario It's doubtful anyone will tell you this is the best version of this story (it isn't), but DeBlois has crafted a competent coming-of-age story that makes you forget you're sitting through an unnecessary remake.
Posted Jun 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Elio (2025) Rubén Rosario A touching mid-tier entry that shows the light years separating distant planets are dwarfed by the divide between those strangers we call family.

Sugar Island (2024) Rubén Rosario That commitment to bring about change, as well as the movie's richly textured surfaces, elevate this uneven hybrid of kitchen-sink drama, social problem film and fever dream that tries to be so many things all at once.

Listen to the Voices (2025) Rubén Rosario ... a moving, visually arresting portrait of grief, forgiveness and cultural identity.

The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Rubén Rosario There's no way around it: An exciting filmmaker has made an unexciting movie.
Posted Jun 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Demons at Dawn (2024) Rubén Rosario It becomes more and more difficult to tell whether something being depicted is happening in the characters' heads or whether it's happening for real, and as a result, the film's resolution feels so abstract that it fails to resonate.
Posted Jun 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Baby (2024) Rubén Rosario Caetano, working with cinematographers Joana Luz and Pedro Sotero, creates a look for Baby that splits the difference between slick and gritty. It brings formal balance to this story of a screw-up determined to get his act together.

The Astronaut Lovers (2024) Rubén Rosario There are those who may be compelled to call this absolute banger repetitive or inconsequential. I'll just go ahead and call it wonderful.

B.O.Y -- Bruises of Yesterday (2024) Rubén Rosario Thanks to Hjerrild's solid central performance, and Green's refusal to look away from the dark turns his protagonist's arc takes, B.O.Y. is an absorbing chronicle of a turbulent adolescence...

Before We Forget (2024) Rubén Rosario Di Pace and Madrussan are both sensational, and Morgan takes Alexander's high-energy charm offense and runs with it.
Posted Jun 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Rubén Rosario More often than not, though, “The Final Reckoning” is a tough slog, a lumbering spectacle where the dazzling moments of peril are few and far between.

Most People Die on Sundays (2024) Rubén Rosario It's as a portrait of mother and son that the film truly thrives, thanks in large part to Cortese's brilliantly lived-in performance.

Things Like This (2025) Rubén Rosario Talisman is an engaging figure in front of the camera, but behind it, he still has a long way to go. He doesn't make us believe Zack and Zack's grounded yet hopeful fairy tale,

Misericordia (2024) Rubén Rosario Aimlessness spontaneously dovetails into malfeasance in this aggressively weird offering from “Stranger by the Lake” auteur Alain Guiraudie.

When Fall Is Coming (2024) Rubén Rosario A solid mid-tier entry that generates some excitement about the next dark corners [Ozon] will turn.

The Legend of Ochi (2025) Rubén Rosario Saxon's lovingly handcrafted bedtime story is sturdy matinee fare with a big heart.
Posted May 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Grand Tour (2024) Rubén Rosario Loopy, exhilarating, formally nimble and utterly captivating, this is a joyous treasure trove for cinephiles, as well as one of the best films of the year.
