Mercy (2026) 25% EDIT “The director’s visual approach to the material reflects our modern-day eye-crossing experience of constant information-bombardment, which is to say it’s no fun whatsoever. ” – Decider Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) 94% EDIT “Sisu: Road to Revenge is genius-level idiocy.” – Decider Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 91% EDIT “ Knight carefully arranges the thematic chess pieces for maximum drama.” – Decider Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Terri Joe: Missionary in Miami (2026) EDIT “Welp. Terri Joe’s transition from short-form comedy to long-form feature tends to be problematic. As ever, what’s funny for two minutes is tough to sustain for 80. ” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Country Doctor (2025) EDIT “ During a time of such widespread duress, Country Doctor is a feelgood story that might be just what the doctor ordered. ” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Cut (2024) 67% EDIT “This Cut is so shallow, it doesn’t even need stitches.” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review It's Dorothy! (2025) EDIT “Its lack of focus doesn’t detract from its entertainment value.” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Not Without Hope (2025) 77% EDIT “Not Without Hope is a by-the-numbers but modestly engaging BOATS movie. It won’t change your life, but it also won’t make you feel like you wasted your time. ” – Decider Mar 16, 2026 Full Review The Plastic Detox (2026) EDIT “The Plastic Detox uses some fearmongering to convince us of its assertions, but it balances it out with humor and hope. Bottom line, it’s informative, not manipulative. ” – Decider Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% EDIT “The first half of the film is taut and shrewdly directed placesetting. But the second half loses its razorlike edge, replacing it with blunt-force hysteria.” – Decider Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% EDIT “The story maintains its satirical aim throughout, but loses its nerve in the second hour as its stronger ideas get swallowed up in the machinations of the plot.” – Decider Mar 16, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% EDIT “ Ann Lee goes whole-hog and you can’t help but be admired by her dedication – and hypnotized by this most singular of musicals. ” – Decider Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare (2026) EDIT “Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare is brutal, but vital viewing.” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 53% EDIT “This Dracula is as elaborate and ambitious as it is sloppy.” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Primitive War (2025) 63% EDIT “It’s not quite Primitive Snore but it comes a little too close.” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs & Who Has Control (2026) EDIT “Some journalistic rigor would make The Pink Pill a much stronger documentary. But it’s nonetheless informative, and further illuminates America’s ugliest issues with gender equality and human rights.” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Ghost Elephants (2025) 100% EDIT “Nobody makes documentaries like Herzog. Nobody.” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Strangers in the Park (2026) EDIT “Strangers in the Park is a pleasant, diverting entertainment underscored with some welcome philosophical musings.” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Melania (2026) 11% EDIT “The film concludes with her promise that she’ll fulfill her duties as First Lady “with purpose and style,” and a couple walls of text trumpeting her accomplishments from the past year. You’ll be lucky if you maintain consciousness long enough to read it. ” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% EDIT “ Surely you’ll find something to laugh at in Fackham Hall – and don’t call me “Fackham.”” – Decider Mar 6, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 69% EDIT “Bore Machine.” – Decider Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Videoheaven (2025) 85% EDIT “It’s decidedly FCO: For Cinephiles Only.” – Decider Mar 6, 2026 Full Review How to Shoot a Ghost (2025) EDIT “Buckley is charismatic, as ever.” – Decider Mar 6, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 67% EDIT “The Moment has me teetering between fascination and ambivalence – but ever so slightly more toward the former than the latter. ” – Decider Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Trap House (2025) 50% EDIT “ Trap House is a shambles of a movie that isn’t sure if it wants to be a grim crime-drama or an outta-control-teenz comedy. ” – Decider Mar 6, 2026 Full Review
