3.5/4
Esta Isla (2025) Robert Daniels Visually evocative and uniquely conceived, Cristian Carretero and Lorraine Jones’s “Esta Isla” (“This Island”) is a lovers-on-the-run narrative unafraid to pause for emotional and thematic effect.

Drag (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a movie that starts with a clever conceit but devolves into something so brutal and downright mean that it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

DreamQuil (2026) Brian Tallerico What would you do if you were replaced by an AI version of yourself? These are questions at the core of this 'Black Mirror' premise, but Prager doesn’t add enough new to the conversation.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Never After Dark (2026) Brian Tallerico Hoshi’s deeply present, engaged performance is one of the main reasons 'Never After Dark’ works so well, but it’s also an undeniably well-made piece of horror filmmaking in terms of craft.

Brian (2026) Brian Tallerico We may not all be able to see ourselves in the quirky Brian, but it’s the film’s desire to be specific instead of some idea of universal that makes it work.

Seekers of Infinite Love (2026) Brian Tallerico Clearly, this ensemble knows how to sell a broad comedy that features pit stops at a fat camp and a car chase after a child is kidnapped, but they can’t push through the sitcomish nature of the overall script enough to sell it.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Basic (2026) Brian Tallerico The first half can feel a little thin, and the whole thing relies way too much on voiceover, but that falls away with Meester and Park’s comic chemistry as two very different women who discover their common ground.

Love Language (2026) Zachary Lee While the film often tries to make grandiose statements about love and relationships at the expense of fully formed characters, it takes the angst and wrestling of the people in this story seriously.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
The Fox (2026) Zachary Lee It’s inventive in its savagery, almost always perturbing, but succeeds at the kind of absurd genre blend that made Yorgos Lanthimos a household name.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Crash Land (2026) Zachary Lee It celebrates how we grow in and out of relationships, and that sometimes moving on from people isn’t indicative of our immaturity but a sign that we’re growing and changing.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Grind (2026) Zachary Lee It may not be perfect, but it acts as a pulpy wake-up call to wake us up from our doom-scroll-induced slumber.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Campeón Gabacho (2026) Zachary Lee There’s much to trade blows at in the world and much to solve behind anger and fists. 'Campeón Gabacho’ gives space for our anger and hope, saying both are needed if we are to survive this world.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Beast Race (2026) Zachary Lee If you are interested in seeing dynamic set pieces, it will deliver, but the story in between never feels compelling enough for one to want to stick around.
Posted Mar 24, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Dead Lover (2025) Katie Rife It’s an absurd film, but also a romantic and quietly radical one.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Spacewoman (2024) Monica Castillo It aims to introduce Collins’ achievements to a new generation of viewers and to remind us of how hard women have fought for a seat at the table, even in recent decades.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Miroirs No. 3 (2025) Clint Worthington It shares the same concerns he’s followed throughout his career, especially that of spiritual death, resurrection, and rebirth.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Tow (2025) Sheila O'Malley Westneat’s excellent reporting is a great example of why a local press matters, why community matters.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Two Prosecutors (2025) Glenn Kenny It’s an unapologetically political [story] as well, and its resonances should—I’d say need to—ring some bells here in the ostensible land of the free.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
0.5/4
Vampires of the Velvet Lounge (2026) Simon Abrams It often seems more like a filmed rehearsal for a movie than a fully completed feature
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Manhood (2026) Zachary Lee The film articulates, to my mind, a hopeful vision of masculinity, one where we can truly learn what it means to be content with our bodies and selves, even the parts we find shame in.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Baby/Girls (2026) Zachary Lee It’s powerful to witness the girls, despite their hardships, articulating a tangible hope that one doesn’t often think about when choices are limited.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Late Shift (2025) Peyton Robinson It never loses grasp of its compassion for its lead, but does neglect coloring in the context.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Lacy Baugher Somehow, [Murphy’s] still managing to find new depth and emotional layers in a character that, by all rights, should have become a caricature a long time ago.
Posted Mar 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
They Will Kill You (2026) Brian Tallerico In the end, it’s just not creative or confident enough to kill its many flaws.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Hokum (2026) Brian Tallerico 'Hokum’ isn’t a slow burn, but one of its strengths is how it slides in and out of shocking images and dread-filled atmosphere.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a comedy that’s consistently displays its eccentric personality but rarely feels like it’s desperately pushing a punchline for a laugh.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Monitor (2026) Brian Tallerico It wades into the increasingly crowded genre of how the internet is going to kill us, but with too little thematic exploration or impressive craft.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Sender (2026) Brian Tallerico The problem is that too many of Goldman’s choices as a director seem to actively be working against what Britt Lower brings to his interesting script
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Imposters (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a film rich with ideas, and its two leads never falter.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Black Zombie (2026) Brian Tallerico I still love zombie movies. I think Bedward does, too. She’s just made a film that allows you to love them in a different context.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Family Movie (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s very cool that the Bacons are so supportive and collaborative. Sadly, that can’t be all to hold onto in a movie.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Kill Me (2026) Brian Tallerico 'Kill Me' gets a bit more convoluted because the nature of the mystery requires to do so, but it actually works best when it steps back from the whodunit of it all and captures two semi-broken people becoming whole again through their connection.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
Chili Finger (2026) Brian Tallerico It navigates the ridiculous and the relatable, holding both in the same beat.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel (2026) Brian Tallerico Like most music docs, 'The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Our Brother Hillel’ will work best for fans of its subject.

3.5/4
Power Ballad (2026) Zachary Lee It reminds us that there’s a difference between knowing lyrics in your head and treasuring a song in your heart.
Posted Mar 19, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Zachary Lee It’s both a creation narrative and a story of paradise lost, how the worlds we construct to save ourselves can be both well-intentioned and perpetuate the same harms we were hoping to escape from.
Posted Mar 18, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Brian Tallerico It helps a great deal to have a wickedly fun ensemble ready to play this murderous game, led once again by a physical, engaged, immediate performance from Samara Weaving.
Posted Mar 17, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Brian Tallerico The movie ends up being stolen by Olyphant, who hasn’t been this truly villainous in a long time.
Posted Mar 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Beyond the Duplex Planet (2026) Brian Tallerico What’s so refreshing about Greenberger’s approach, and something that’s captured well in Beth Harrington’s film, is the lack of sentimentality in his conversations.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Seahorse (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a drama with the best of intentions that falls short by not truly committing to what I believe is its intent: Humanizing the unhoused in a way that makes them more than just figures in a news story or people overlooked on the street.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
A Safe Distance (2026) Brian Tallerico Some of the material about the "freedom" of the criminal life is a bit overwritten … and the final act has a a few choices and a twist that didn’t land for me, but the bulk of 'A Safe Distance' works.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
The Sun Never Sets (2026) Brian Tallerico What it lacks sometimes in dialogue, it makes up in character detail and even visuals.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Your Attention Please (2026) Brian Tallerico And how can anyone listen to Kristin Bride and not want to cheer her on? She deserves ALL of our attention.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Anima (2026) Brian Tallerico It’s a movie of pregnant pauses and deep considerations masquerading as insight, and one that’s consistently sterile in its presentation.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
The Peril at Pincer Point (2026) Brian Tallerico It's aggressively weird, and that’s why it works.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
The Saviors (2026) Brian Tallerico There’s just nothing to hold onto when one looks back on 'The Saviors,’ a movie that arguably would have been more interesting told from the other perspective, the POV of a refugee brother and sister dealing with their nosey neighbors.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Wishful Thinking (2026) Brian Tallerico Hawke and Pullman are both consistently spectacular, the kind of young stars who inspire hope for long careers every time they’re on screen.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Pretty Lethal (2026) Brian Tallerico A movie with one banger of an action sequence surrounded by thin characters, flat plotting, and even a boring climax.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Pizza Movie (2026) Zachary Lee There’s a reason why comfort movies exist, and ‘Pizza Movie’ is the type of low-calorie guilty pleasure that offers just enough new ingredients to a meal you’ve had many times before.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
1/4
Reminders of Him (2026) Monica Castillo It is so preoccupied with tragedy that the romance becomes secondary. Now, after our third Hoover adaptation, it feels like we’re getting love with diminishing returns. There’s less to enjoy, even if the movie is almost two hours long.
