Marty Supreme (2025) Sean Collier We can all relate to the desperate need to prove that we are the person we believe ourselves to be.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Sean Collier The story and its characters were never all that compelling. And boy was this the wrong time to deliver an installment that relied heavily on that ho-hum plot.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Sean Collier Johnson is a director who can do no wrong.

Jay Kelly (2025) Sean Collier In short: It’s good, and you’ll be emotional at the end. But good luck explaining why.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Sean Collier Deliver[s] a satisfying ending and enough vocal fireworks to elevate this chapter above the mark set by its predecessor.

Train Dreams (2025) Sean Collier Visual majesty ... suffuses every frame of the film.

Being Eddie (2025) Sean Collier Maybe "Playing Eddie" would be better. For the most part, the film feels more like performance than simply being.

8/10
Frankenstein (2025) Sean Collier The film proceeds with a deliberately languorous pace, as del Toro — who also wrote the screenplay — is determined to capture the feeling of reading an engrossing novel on a cold winter’s evening.

Bugonia (2025) Sean Collier The skilled performers are left in scenes that feel more like acting exercises than a natural story.

8/10
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Sean Collier The drive of the film ... is Springsteen’s struggle to keep the darkness on the edge of his mind from derailing his life and career.

10/10
The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Sean Collier It is a remarkable feat of filmmaking (with almost no intentional camera work) and a brilliant piece of commentary (without much literal commentary).

Roofman (2025) Sean Collier Dunst and Tatum carry the film ... to an easy watchability.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Sean Collier If you ... expect a careful, thoughtful look at an unusual guy, you’ll be very satisfied.

One Battle After Another (2025) Sean Collier It’s a memorable and perhaps significant film.

HIM (2025) Sean Collier In style and impact, it makes up for its shortcomings.

8/10
Clemente (2024) Sean Collier It’s heartbreaking. But, thanks to the legacy detailed in this film, the man was already immortal.

8/10
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) Sean Collier If The Grand Finale often feels like a wrapping-up, it’s also a statement on the very real possibility of merging modernity with tradition.

4/10
Honey Don't! (2025) Sean Collier If I didn’t know better, I’d say that Honey Don’t! was born out of Ethan Coen trying to see how fast he could write a script.

7/10
Night Always Comes (2025) Sean Collier Such is life in America today. And we rarely, if ever, see it in film.
Posted Aug 15, 2025  Edit critic review
5/10
Freakier Friday (2025) Sean Collier It’s an agreeable trifle that never even considers that it might be anything more.
Posted Aug 08, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Together (2025) Sean Collier Michael Shanks ... has a knack for escalating tension and visual drama.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review

The Naked Gun (2025) Sean Collier The script swings so hard and so often that it connects with remarkable frequency

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Sean Collier It’s certainly not a bad film.
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
4/10
Eddington (2025) Sean Collier A little success has a way of convincing filmmakers that they can do no wrong. For evidence, watch “Eddington.” Or better yet: don’t.

9/10
Superman (2025) Sean Collier The new versions are fun and charming ... as is the film and the world they inhabit.
Posted Jul 11, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Sean Collier There’s more than enough suspense, action and wonder in “Rebirth” to warrant a trip to the cinema — particularly if a large-format screen is involved.
Posted Jul 04, 2025  Edit critic review
3/10
M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Sean Collier A tedious and bewilderingly expository exercise in subpar action, broken up only occasionally by the title character saying something funny.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
9/10
28 Years Later (2025) Sean Collier It’s the type of showy filmmaking that is not in fashion — largely because few filmmakers are good enough to pull it off. Boyle is.
Posted Jun 20, 2025  Edit critic review
3/10
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Sean Collier A flat, unadventurous feature that adds nothing to its predecessor.
Posted Jun 12, 2025  Edit critic review
5/10
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Sean Collier While The Phoenician Scheme is intermittently funny ... it lacks any depth or resonance to offset its absurdity.
Posted Jun 04, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Karate Kid: Legends (2025) Sean Collier Ultimately, we’re going to watch a character we like and a character we hate fight on a New York rooftop, with a golden-hour sunset in the background. However shaky the buildup, isn’t that exactly the sort of moment that draws us to the movies?
Posted May 30, 2025  Edit critic review
8/10
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Sean Collier Does it work? Mostly. But Tom Cruise dangles off a lot of stuff, so when it doesn’t, you won’t notice.

Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) Sean Collier It’s a silly but undeniably good time at the movies.

Another Simple Favor (2025) Sean Collier It combines escapist fantasy with soap-opera plotting to deliver a thin yet often delightful experience.

Thunderbolts* (2025) Sean Collier Marvel hasn’t surprised me in a long time, so I’m pleased with Thunderbolts.

The Accountant 2 (2025) Sean Collier The original film ... was big, dumb fun. Its belated sequel is missing both the big and the fun.

9/10
Sinners (2025) Sean Collier Sinners is about more than this specific band of vampires and victims, however; with each subsequent scene, the moral lines will grow muddier.

Disney's Snow White (2025) Sean Collier In short: heigh-ho, don’t go.

Black Bag (2025) Sean Collier Steven Soderbergh and his recent collaborator, blockbuster screenwriter David Koepp, understand how to make a movie wry and tense.

Mickey 17 (2025) Sean Collier Pattinson excels in both roles, finding ways to simultaneously exaggerate and humanize his dual personas.

7/10
The Monkey (2025) Sean Collier Like Longlegs, The Monkey is an over-the-top, unforgettable film. Also like its predecessor, it’s a bit uneven. But once again, I’m ready for Perkins to make another picture.

The Vortex (2025) Sean Collier It’s Gardell’s job to carry the picture ... and he’s up to the task.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Sean Collier The lie in the title “Captain America: Brave New World” can be found in the fourth word. There’s nothing new about this chapter.

8/10
I'm Still Here (2024) Sean Collier The film is carried by Torres, who portrays this unimaginable burden with a mix of steely resolve and constant threadbare tension.
Posted Feb 10, 2025  Edit critic review
4/10
Flight Risk (2025) Sean Collier The film ends with a shot of background characters staring awkwardly into the camera, trying to suss out what just happened. The look on their faces seems to read, "Is it over now?" Mercifully, it is.

Wolf Man (2025) Sean Collier They’ve come up with [an] effective setting and structure, which keeps things moving even as the drama sags.

The Brutalist (2024) Sean Collier The title refers to the architectural style. It could also refer to the circumstances.

The Last Showgirl (2024) Sean Collier Anderson carries the film with a remarkable and often heartbreaking turn.

Nosferatu (2024) Sean Collier The magic ... is in the unrelenting, hypnotic evil that Eggers manages to suffuse into the film.
