Perfect (2026) D+ EDIT “While the actors are all game to find each other in friendship and in lust, it’s not enough to cut through the moral murkiness that clouds “Perfect.”” – The Playlist Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere (2026) 77% EDIT “Theroux may not always drive the knife in, but he does not have to. His subjects expose the hollow enterprise every time they open their mouths.” – The Playlist Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% D- EDIT “A big part of the problem is that “Scream 7” looks and moves like network TV stretched to feature length. The images have a clean, functional sheen; the lighting is flat; the staging is built around coverage rather than unease. ” – The Playlist Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 89% C EDIT “Try as he might to make “Crime 101” distinct, filmmaker Bart Layton—who also wrote and adapted the film from Don Winslow’s novel—doesn’t imbue it with enough flair or idiosyncrasies to make it feel human, lived-in, and novel.” – The Playlist Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% B+ EDIT “It’s maximal and deliberately anachronistic, a big-screen fever dream of ache and viciousness that treats desire like an injury you keep reopening with your own hands.” – The Playlist Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% B+ EDIT “It’s ridiculous by design, walking a razor’s edge between menace and mockery, and it thrives in that instability. ” – The Playlist Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% B EDIT “...“The Rip”—Miami cop slang for a big takedown—plays like a going-to-work movie in the best and bluntest sense. It’s muscular, no-fuss-no-muss genre filmmaking...” – The Playlist Jan 16, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% B+ EDIT “DaCosta confidently eschews Boyle’s frantic visual vocabulary, opting for patience and stillness without losing intensity. The fear doesn’t come from the camera screaming in your face, and it’s a nice aesthetic relief. ” – The Playlist Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Cover-Up (2025) 98% A- EDIT ““Cover-Up” makes the eventual loss of a figure like Hersh feel immediate, not because he’s perfect, but because the conditions that produced a figure like him are being engineered out of existence. ” – The Playlist Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% A+ EDIT “Safdie knows precisely how to orchestrate the anxious thrill of suspense and tension, building scenes until they’re practically vibrating and then punctuating them with some outrageous left turn that lands with shock, awe, and hilarious disbelief.” – The Playlist Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% B- EDIT “The sense of physical heft and velocity in the set pieces is still thrilling, and moment to moment, “Fire & Ash” is rarely boring. But the nagging sensation persists that you’ve already seen this exact movie, more or less, in “The Way Of Water”...” – The Playlist Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Love+War (2025) 100% B EDIT “By the end, “Love+War” feels less like a career recap and more like a confrontation—with sacrifice, guilt, compromise, and the cost of devotion. Addario’s life is defined by her own conflicts, and the movie honors that without flinching.” – The Playlist Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Thoughts & Prayers (2025) 90% A EDIT “The film’s anger is muted but unmistakable. “Thoughts & Prayers” is about a nation that would rather teach children how to hide, how to bleed, how to die — than pass even the most modest gun reforms. ” – The Playlist Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% C+ EDIT “A curious, half-successful mutation in the “Predator” bloodline, ‘Badlands’ wants to transcend the franchise’s primal instincts. Instead, it proves that sometimes survival means knowing what not to evolve. ” – The Playlist Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% B EDIT “It’s a sincere, soulful effort that aims to strike a balance between bruised vulnerability and crowd-pleasing warmth, although it doesn’t always manage to achieve a seamless blend. ” – The Playlist Oct 14, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% C EDIT “...it’s big, blinding, and bursting with phosphorescent spectacle. Unfortunately, beneath the neon surface lies a script so hollow even AI might reject it for lack of substance.” – The Playlist Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 52% B+ EDIT ““Anemone” is overwhelming in its presence, unmistakable in its promise, and marks Ronan Day-Lewis as a filmmaker unafraid to wade into subjects—violence, faith, masculinity, and generational scars—that continue to shape and scar.” – The Playlist Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Are We Good? (2025) 97% B EDIT “ In honoring [Lynn] Shelton and revealing his bruised heart, Maron gives us something comedy rarely offers: a roadmap through despair that refuses false consolation.” – The Playlist Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Easy's Waltz (2025) 75% C+ EDIT “Vaughn wrestles with his character’s insecurities and meekness with a subtle touch, ready to throw a punch if Lew’s temper calls for it. The performance makes for one of Vaughn’s most interesting roles in years.” – The Playlist Sep 17, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 37% C EDIT “...ultimately “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” is undone by a syrupy, over-romanticized screenplay untempered by the director’s usual delicacy and restraint. ” – The Playlist Sep 17, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% A EDIT “Fierce and unrelenting, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” burns as both an incendiary action epic and a tender family drama, alive with humor, conviction, and revolutionary spirit.” – The Playlist Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Fence (2025) 70% C- EDIT “While the narrative is rich with meaning, there is a sense of visual malaise as the movie gets stuck at the argument through the fence, leaving the events feeling cold and stilted.” – The Playlist Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) 83% B EDIT “Peck’s genuine admiration for the sharpness and clarity of Orwell’s writing, combined with the rich tonality of Damian Lewis’ narration, gives the author as grandly respectful a presentation as “I Am Not Your Negro” did for James Baldwin. ” – The Playlist Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% A- EDIT “Good Fortune” is a refreshing comedy that audiences haven’t seen in a while, a movie with a message that both advocates for a cause and entertains. ” – The Playlist Sep 10, 2025 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% C+ EDIT “While the movie’s artifice makes it a thrilling watch, its real-life inspiration is equally just as moving.” – The Playlist Sep 9, 2025 Full Review
