The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% EDIT “Like the religion it depicts... [The Testament of Ann Lee] is perhaps destined to inspire a small but devout following of those able to reconcile its incongruities and imperfections.” – In Review Online Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “The Housemaid is never dull, but then neither is a flaming car on the side of the road. And there’s a similar morbid, gawking quality to observing this collection of artists valiantly trying to resuscitate the erotic thriller.” – In Review Online Dec 20, 2025 Full Review La Grazia (2025) 81% EDIT “[It] helps that Sorrentino prevails as one of cinema’s preeminent stylists, and his ethos remains "what if this scene were actually the best scene of the film?" — an ethos that is applied across nearly every scene of [La Grazia].” – In Review Online Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% EDIT “[This] stripped-down, back-to-basics, spooky chamber drama is probably the exact sort of zag a filmmaker like Perkins should be making... but the director should leave viewers guessing a little more next time.” – In Review Online Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% EDIT “Living down to the filmmaker’s reputation, Nuremberg is marred by a smirking patness.” – In Review Online Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “[Train Dreams is] the stuff of bromides, yes, but the film’s sincerity and commitment to the restlessness of the human condition... has an integrity to it that transcends greeting card sentiments.” – In Review Online Nov 9, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “The film positions itself as a journey of self-discovery, but there’s scarcely any room for exploration or uncovering of ideas that don’t dovetail with its themes or the self-pitying disposition of its subject.” – In Review Online Oct 7, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “There’s no real reason for the film to be as arm’s length as it is toward its subject... The Smashing Machine is portraiture without perspective.” – In Review Online Oct 1, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% EDIT “In spite of all its adornments, [A Big Bold Beautiful Journey] remains a brightly colored carnival ride on a straight track; no forks, dips, or sharp curves to be found.” – In Review Online Sep 24, 2025 Full Review In the Hand of Dante (2025) 43% EDIT “In the Hand of Dante is almost cruelly designed in a way that seems destined to please no one. Interested in a meditative period drama? What about a sleazy airport novel? Well, here’s a film that does both, but neither especially well!” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Americana (2025) 63% EDIT “If ever there were a time when attention was laser focused on this cast, it’s now. That said... a dog is still a dog — and Americana has fleas.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% EDIT “Pick a lane: you can do Guy Ritchie or you can do Cormac McCarthy, but you can’t do both at the same time.” – In Review Online Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% EDIT “Covino possesses a real talent for directing actors as a waltz with the camera. Coupled with a drum-tight structure... and you have something that feels like a model for how to make a modern comedy. ” – In Review Online Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “The film first and foremost is a yarn... [and] plays like an urban legend, passed from generation to generation where the details have been dulled over time but the general thrust of it remains indelible.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% EDIT “[A] manic, flop-sweating farce... The primary takeaway [of Oh, Hi!] ultimately ends up being to question whether anyone involved with the production has ever met a fully-functioning, adult human before.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% EDIT “Together wants you to think very much about what this all means but, at the same time, not very deeply about it.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review 28 Weeks Later (2007) 73% EDIT “Stranger, more diffuse, and less wedded to conventional notions of realism and regularly occurring jump scares than its predecessors... [although] no film in recent memory has been more deserving of an “incomplete” grade.” – In Review Online Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Gonzo Girl (2023) 59% EDIT “Gonzo Girl ultimately boasts all the thematic heft and staying power of an Us Weekly article.” – In Review Online Jun 13, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% EDIT “The Life of Chuck isn't unpleasant exactly, but it is a bit like spending 110 minutes in the greeting card aisle of a pharmacy.” – In Review Online Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) 14% EDIT “The film itself would be almost admirable in its nakedly confessional and self-excoriating qualities if only it weren’t so derivative, shallow, and dull.” – In Review Online May 19, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 74% EDIT “The problem is that the film is caught in the no man’s land between knowingly janky and actually clever; it doesn’t upend clichés or moldy tropes, but, rather, merely presents them with an archness that plays as snickering or, worse, above it all.” – In Review Online May 7, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% EDIT “[Coogler's] new film, Sinners, an original period horror, [is] both a culmination of a decade spent refining his voice on the largest scale imaginable as well as a reintroduction to a filmmaker we barely know.” – In Review Online Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Ash (2025) 71% EDIT “It has the outer shape of something fun, but all the parts inside are assembled incorrectly.” – In Review Online Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 75% EDIT “The film, an anthology built around four loosely connected urban legends, amounts to little more than the sum total of its references; a not-so-secret handshake with film geeks that can barely conceal how impressed it is with itself.” – In Review Online Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 52% EDIT “Broadly conceived, self-satisfied with its bushel of low-hanging fruit, and consistently underwhelming as an outré comedy, creature-feature, and earnest reconciliation drama...” – In Review Online Mar 25, 2025 Full Review
