Magellan (2025) 85% B EDIT “Magellan may think he’s the hero at the center of this film, but Magellan consistently reaffirms he’s anything but. It’s one of the many dichotomies present in the film that make this a deeply compelling watch.” – InSession Film Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% A- EDIT “As thrilling as it is to see some of the coolest action ever committed to film, it’s just as refreshing to see a film so full of passion and sincerity be released in 2025.” – InSession Film Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Influencers (2025) 96% 6/10 EDIT “Whether or not we see this series become a full trilogy is up in the air, but the fun Naud and Harder are having within this world of influencers is one that still hits just as wonderfully as the original.” – Next Best Picture Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% C+ EDIT “a bonkers narrative development (which remains admirable despite its own thematic flaws) and excellent performances allows Bugonia the space to feel like another example of why Lanthimos is one of our most exciting contemporary filmmakers.” – InSession Film Oct 24, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% 6/10 EDIT “Because of the film’s lighter characterization, some of these stories don’t land as powerfully as they could. But the way “100 Meters” intertwines all these struggles into a single, cohesive idea makes for a powerful conclusion.” – Next Best Picture Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Can She Bake a Cherry Pie? (1983) C+ EDIT “Henry Jaglom’s Can She Bake A Cherry Pie? is a wonderful jaunt through the Upper West Side of New York City in the early ‘80s.” – InSession Film Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% B+ EDIT “Blue Moon is both celebratory and funereal, and how Linklater balances the two clashing tones so effortlessly reaffirms why he’s one of the all-time great filmmakers.” – InSession Film Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% B+ EDIT “Yet for all its cinematic vigor, shifting from drama to B-movie slasher to pulsing thriller with little warning, The Secret Agent never allows a voice or a character to fall to the wayside. ” – InSession Film Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Angel's Egg (1985) 100% A- EDIT “That this new 4K restoration will be widely available for waves of filmgoers to be both haunted and enamored by is one of the most exciting cinematic prospects of the year.” – InSession Film Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% C+ EDIT “Anemone may be indicative of a filmmaker actively finding his footing, but the bold liberties it takes in telling such a grounded story speaks to the possibility of another exciting Day-Lewis family member entering the world of cinema.” – InSession Film Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Karmadonna (2025) 2/10 EDIT “So much of its runtime is devoted to the same incessant anger thrown at the state of everything in our culture. Yet it all feels more akin to a man shouting at the clouds than any sort of incisive observation or commentary.” – Next Best Picture Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Normal (2025) 83% 6/10 EDIT “As “Normal” barrels toward its conclusion, it’s easy to look past the way it glosses over in-depth characterization. For fans of genre-heavy action sequences, this one will certainly get the job done.” – Next Best Picture Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% B- EDIT “All in all, it makes for a film that’s both very entertaining and unfortunately timely in its capturing of times never changing, despite these events mattering more than anything to a majority of people.” – InSession Film Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Last One for the Road (2025) B+ EDIT “That’s The Last One for the Road in a nutshell. Sometimes, all we end up searching for is something that simply doesn’t exist.” – InSession Film Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Junk World (2025) C- EDIT “Overall, Junk World feels like a bit of a mixed bag.” – InSession Film Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 8/10 EDIT “This is a film that’s as concerned with lofty ideas of existentialism as it is with the simply mundane observations of daily beauty.” – Next Best Picture Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% B- EDIT “And despite falling into many of the usual traps sports dramas often do, if more were like this, it feels like cinemas, and audiences, would be all the better for it.” – InSession Film Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Obsession (2025) 97% B- EDIT “Best of all, he caps Obsession off with an absolutely devious finale. With its deeply dark sense of humor, the final moments of this film will leave genre fans walking out of the theater eagerly anticipating Barker’s next foray into genre filmmaking. ” – InSession Film Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Tuner (2025) 97% B EDIT “ Tuner takes Niki on that search whether he knows it or not. For all the thrill and fun had across this film’s kinetic runtime, it’s in the evocative nature of its emotional and musical rhythms that make it an exciting discovery.” – InSession Film Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Retreat (2025) 80% B- EDIT “There is always a chance for something greater than what currently exists. It’s in that hope, left to the next generation, that Retreat turns all its thrills and its horror into something worth fighting for despite all that’s occurred thus far.” – InSession Film Sep 8, 2025 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% B+ EDIT “Soderbergh makes it look easy, but he and Solomon are aware life is anything but. The Christophers just takes that difficulty and channels it into something pure.” – InSession Film Sep 8, 2025 Full Review BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions (2025) 100% B+ EDIT “A living, breathing, constantly evolving piece of art which forces you to engage with it on its own terms, and to leave any pre-conceived notions at the door ” – InSession Film Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% B EDIT “shows Johnson’s clever ability to depict several contradictions simultaneously, yet all the while still have them fit neatly and organically into the great puzzle of his latest mystery. ” – InSession Film Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Lovely Day (2025) B- EDIT “And as the past sends us off into the future, Lovely Day is a reminder to never shy away from either end of the timeline, and instead embrace it all.” – InSession Film Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Motor City (2025) 70% C+ EDIT “ Still, if you’re showing up for a tale of vengeance with competently-filmed action sequences and a ton of style, Motor City will likely excite, and serve as a reminder that we need films of a similar vein.” – InSession Film Sep 8, 2025 Full Review
