28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Kyle Pinion Everything moves at a crisp pace, and when it ended I felt that sense of satisfaction you feel when you see a good film - even if it's more DLC than essential chapter.

Hamnet (2025) Hannah Lodge Hamnet is handsomely filmed, scored, and directed. All of this I anticipated: What I did not expect is the unflinchingly secular view of life and death Hamnet provides, and how it manages to filter that view through an uplifting lens.

Is This Thing On? (2025) Kyle Pinion Arnett delivers an excellent worn-down performance in some of the rawest, most thrilling minutes I've seen this year—before the film topples its own belief in the story.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Kyle Pinion Jeremy Allen White disappears into Springsteen with a performance that transcends impersonation, even if the film around him can’t quite find its rhythm.
Posted Oct 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Frankenstein (2025) Kyle Pinion An absorbing, richly Gothic portrayal of one of literature's great tragedies, beaten and bloodied by del Toro's lapse into familiar territory.
Posted Oct 17, 2025  Edit critic review
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Kyle Pinion An effort with the political firepower of the most radical of filmmakers while wrapped in a premise that would be worthy of an Elmore Leonard bestseller
Posted Sep 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Exit 8 (2025) Kyle Pinion Exit 8 takes a hard and unwelcome turn into an avenue that's clearly pushing hard in a pro-life direction
Posted Sep 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Sirāt (2025) Kyle Pinion A thriller in the truest sense...there were moments that indeed left my jaw hanging open
Posted Sep 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Sentimental Value (2025) Kyle Pinion A tender story...Trier lands on something quite novel with a truly sublime performance by Skarsgård
Posted Sep 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Rose of Nevada (2025) Hannah Lodge Rose of Nevada’s technical craft is the perfect enhancement for a haunting ghost story, one that conveys the emptiness of being left behind while you’re still living.
Posted Sep 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Wolf Man (2025) Hannah Lodge While Wolf Man finds new ways to play with a man’s physical transformation, its unsubtle and uninteresting themes hold it back from matching Whannell’s previous monster reboot.
Posted Sep 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Bring Her Back (2025) Hannah Lodge Bring Her Back unfortunately joins the growing roster of A24 grief-horror films that feel more derivative than innovative.
Posted Sep 09, 2025  Edit critic review
The Naked Gun (2025) Hannah Lodge THE NAKED GUN is proof that parody isn’t dead
Posted Sep 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) Kyle Pinion A novelistic modern fairy tale that tempts you to want to live in its world and noodle around in its marginalia...Cregger is the real deal and likely the guy who can finally inherit John Carpenter's horror master crown.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Kyle Pinion This Marvel outing commits the cardinal sin of being not only predictable but, even worse, boring.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Eddington (2025) Kyle Pinion A better Coen Brothers riff than anything they've made in a decade.
Posted Jul 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Kyle Pinion The best Superman movie we’ve ever gotten and a perfect distillation of the character’s world and his adventures as they appear on the page.
Posted Jul 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Karate Kid: Legends (2025) Kyle Pinion The best moments of Karate Kid: Legends are when it's not much of a Karate Kid film at all.
Posted May 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Black Bag (2025) Kyle Pinion For those who’ve been waiting for the filmmaker to recapture the magic of his pre-retirement glory days, Black Bag isn’t just a return to form—it’s a reminder of why we fell in love with his filmmaking in the first place.
Posted Apr 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Sinners (2025) Kyle Pinion Coogler has delivered a film that marries horror convention with cultural interrogation in ways that feel both audacious and essential.
Posted Apr 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Nosferatu (2024) Kyle Pinion Provides a greater mythical power and dread than I thought could be possible in this old tome.
Posted Dec 02, 2024  Edit critic review
Gladiator II (2024) Hannah Lodge GLADIATOR II only works when it’s weird.
Posted Nov 11, 2024  Edit critic review
The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) Hannah Lodge What's most interesting about The Seed of the Sacred Fig is the way it manages to be so specific and so universal at once.
Posted Sep 26, 2024  Edit critic review
The Last Showgirl (2024) Hannah Lodge File this one under “wanted to like.”
Posted Sep 26, 2024  Edit critic review
Heretic (2024) Hannah Lodge Hugh Grant makes a more menacing and interesting villain than the much-hyped performance of Nic Cage in Longlegs.
Posted Sep 26, 2024  Edit critic review
Presence (2024) Hannah Lodge You’ve seen pieces of Presence everywhere, some of them quite ordinary and even undercooked, but you’ve never seen them combined in exactly this way before.
Posted Sep 26, 2024  Edit critic review
Friendship (2024) Kyle Pinion Is it the best big screen comedy since Bridesmaids? Probably so.
Posted Sep 19, 2024  Edit critic review
Heretic (2024) Kyle Pinion One of the big surprises of the fest, well worth seeing and a nice change-up for A24.
Posted Sep 19, 2024  Edit critic review
Conclave (2024) Kyle Pinion The best ending I’ve seen in years. People were literally screaming.
Posted Sep 19, 2024  Edit critic review
Sharp Corner (2024) Kyle Pinion A little thin, if inherently watchable
Posted Sep 17, 2024  Edit critic review
Anora (2024) Kyle Pinion A film that finds Baker at height of his storytelling prowess and his ongoing fixation on gutter glam.
Posted Sep 17, 2024  Edit critic review
The Life of Chuck (2024) Kyle Pinion I judge it worthy of being among the good side of King on screen.
Posted Sep 16, 2024  Edit critic review
The Last Showgirl (2024) Kyle Pinion I don’t know how to say this gently, but around a quarter of the film’s shots were out of focus
Posted Sep 16, 2024  Edit critic review
The Brutalist (2024) Kyle Pinion Baby, this is Oppenheimer level stuff. This is Orson Welles. This is the closest a filmmaker comes to kissing heaven.
Posted Sep 16, 2024  Edit critic review
The Brutalist (2024) Hannah Lodge It's hard not to be taken with The Brutalist. It’s a film that jostles comparisons to cinematic yardsticks like Citizen Kane, There Will Be Blood, The Godfather, and Oppenheimer.
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Anora (2024) Hannah Lodge Anora is as deeply funny as it is stressful, as loud as it is heartfelt, and as chaotic as it is meticulous. This is Baker’s best film to date, with incredible performances all around, but especially from Mikey Madison’s portrayal of Annie.
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Conclave (2024) Hannah Lodge The experience, adapted from the 2016 thriller novel of the same name, appropriately lies somewhere between watching 12 Angry Men and a reading a John le Carré novel, equally suspensful as it is intellectual in its pursuits. 
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Cloud (2024) Hannah Lodge Kurosawa’s unique ability to casually shuffle between genres – drama, horror, thriller, absurdist comedy? – keeps Cloud feeling vibrant and suspenseful as it scales up. But one constant throughout the film: the script’s sharp wit.
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Friendship (2024) Hannah Lodge Friendship feels less the best update to the studio comedy since Bridesmaids, which was made over a decade ago. It’s an overdue infusion of new comedy into a classic concept.
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Cloud (2024) Kyle Pinion Genuinely one of the most unpredictable and fun films of the year
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) Kyle Pinion The Seed of the Sacred Fig works as a social study, a chamber drama, and with shocking ease, a tense thriller.
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Presence (2024) Kyle Pinion A good reminder that for all of his considerable mettle, Soderbergh’s tunnel vision can still be his undoing.
Posted Sep 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Kyle Pinion Calling this a movie is generous.
Posted Jul 24, 2024  Edit critic review
Kinds of Kindness (2024) Kyle Pinion The middle tale alone is one of the finest things Lanthimos has shot.
Posted Jun 27, 2024  Edit critic review
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Hannah Lodge While Furiosa’s stronger moments go toe-to-toe with its predecessor, its symbiotic relationship with Fury Road occasionally stunts the script.
Posted May 23, 2024  Edit critic review
I Saw the TV Glow (2024) Kyle Pinion Videodrome but make it Vaporwave
Posted May 17, 2024  Edit critic review
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) Hannah Lodge The label may say Godzilla x Kong but make no mistake: this is a movie about King Kong. And to the degree that you can get on board with the fact that you’re watching a cartoon for long stretches of its runtime, the Kong stuff works.
Posted Apr 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Challengers (2024) Hannah Lodge Guadagnino’s care with details helps keep the film tight and precise even when everything happening to the characters on screen is a mess.
Posted Apr 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Civil War (2024) Kyle Pinion It's not about left or right, it's about the people who are in the trenches telling the story.
Posted Apr 11, 2024  Edit critic review
Problemista (2023) Kyle Pinion This generation’s Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure has arrived.
