Stranger Eyes (2024) 82% EDIT “Stranger Eyes asks for the viewer’s attention and perception, skews it, and then asks viewers to find the fine line between surveillance for the sake of safety and for the thrill of voyeurism.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Stripper Boyz (2025) EDIT “Stripper Boyz is an incredibly entertaining blend of dry, mumblecore-esque comedy and a surprising amount of heart. Who knew the answer to insecurity was ripping your clothes off on a stage in Las Vegas?” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 94% EDIT “It’s exceptionally difficult to spin the plate of a topic like abuse while also spinning the plate of McAdams flying through the air with a spear. There’s a way to keep those plates going, but it takes a lot more effort than Send Help wanted to give.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 26, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% EDIT “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple doesn’t expound upon the world of its predecessors and undermines the complex emotions laid out in the franchise’s return.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 18, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% EDIT “Without an escalation of tension, The Rip has no energy to ignite its story of betrayal, so it ends up not as a rip, but as a mere tear.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 16, 2026 Full Review If That Mockingbird Don't Sing (2024) EDIT “If That Mockingbird Don’t Sing is an introduction to Bones’ directorial voice, one that is sharp and funny, with room to grow.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 15, 2026 Full Review OBEX (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Those who enjoy the corner of cinema Lynch has carved out will appreciate that OBEX does its best to fill in the space he has left behind.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 14, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “No Other Choice is a thriller, yes, but it’s also a profoundly sad retrospective on the state of the world today.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% EDIT “Reflections on the state of world affairs at four different points in time and portraits of families, Sound of Falling is an epic that cannot be contained within the frame of a camera or the confines of a home.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 13, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% EDIT “There’s also a thin line between romance and friendship, and People We Meet on Vacation revels in the magic that happens when we step across that line. It’s exactly what the doctor ordered for a cold, rainy day.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% EDIT “Primate is quick, dirty, and lean, a throwback, no-frills survivalist thriller that revels in its bloody monkey business.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “Anaconda could have been included in that conversation, but instead it’s too much like a big studio poking fun at itself while doing the exact thing it attempts to make light of.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Nuked (2024) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “Nuked is a stoner flick that’s lighter on the laughs and heavy on the weed, with an unexpected heart beneath the haze.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Belén (2025) 95% EDIT “Belén is a fight for truth to be seen, heard, and, most of all, respected. Anyone can tell the truth, but those who control the scales of justice have to uphold it, even if it doesn’t align with their own assumptions.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 5, 2026 Full Review The Mother and the Bear (2024) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, The Mother and the Bear ends with what is still a fundamentally massive gap between mother and daughter.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 2.5/5 EDIT “There’s a way for a wordy, single-location film to use the freedoms of the film medium, look no further than Peter Hujar’s Day, but Blue Moon doesn’t capture the same sense of snapshot of a time and place in a person’s life.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Night in West Texas (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Night in West Texas is a condemning piece of filmmaking, but one whose central voice should have been shifted.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Tapawingo (2023) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Tapawingo will speak to a generation that misses the oddball sincerity of the aughts and potentially win over some Napoleon Dynamite non-believers with its more fleshed-out narrative.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 28, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% EDIT “Melling and Skarsgård make for a phenomenal pair that wholly sells the goal of Pillion, one that recognizes the many paths that can lead a person to emotional growth.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 28, 2025 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% EDIT “The Plague is a cautionary tale of adolescence that’s searingly difficult to watch. It’s a masterful introduction to a new filmmaking voice.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “Song Sung Blue knows how to carry a tune, but isn’t quite sure how to write its own melody.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “Marty Supreme was never about a guy who dreamed too big for what was possible. It’s a series of loosely-tied-together hijinks that cater to fans of shock-value cinema.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% EDIT “Sirāt is surely a journey of profound proportions, but one that may leave audiences searching for meaning that isn’t found along this path.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “Sentimental Value doesn’t heal the wounds of the past, but it does offer an opportunity for reconciliation, as long as those involved are brave enough to recognize the cracks in their own home.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 15, 2025 Full Review El Canto de las Manos (2025) EDIT “Passionate, emotional, and transformative, El Canto de las Manos redefines art’s ability to communicate.” – Beyond the Cinerama Dome Dec 13, 2025 Full Review
