A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% EDIT “Think LARS AND THE REAL GIRL with its vital organs replaced by a Yorgos Lanthimos character, and A USEFUL GHOST might be close to that Frankensteined monster of black comedy.” – Boston Hassle Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% EDIT “Gus van Sant’s first movie in several years, is not at all a bad movie...but I can’t shake the feeling that it falls short of saying something, instead blunting an otherwise sharp topic for a passive entry onto the collective conscience. ” – Boston Hassle Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% EDIT “[The film] sticks to a more thoughtful, modern approach and intersection between mental illness and culture. Somewhere in the dark, there is a small light in knowing that there are people who are trying to get it right.” – Boston Hassle Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% EDIT “Hind’s voice serves as the writer and painter, adrenaline and sympathy, and the eventual conclusion.” – Boston Hassle Jan 8, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “The circumstances in [the film] are part of Park’s nefarious repertoire of bleak comedy, and at this point of the game, Park is having fun. ” – Boston Hassle Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 89% EDIT “It’s unquestionably a movie about movies, and its conclusion feels like acknowledged resignation to an uncertain death, but it holds a simplicity about the truth in connection we have with each other.” – Boston Hassle Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% EDIT “Time slows down when the three are together, which emphasizes just how important and valued it is when they get to be in the same room. All of their issues and attitudes in their lives feel miniscule for the better part of the film’s dynamic.” – Boston Hassle Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “SENTIMENTAL VALUE challenges the temporal spaces of feeling sentimental: it doesn’t have to exist for the closed chests of the past, but to power the forgiveness and opportunities of the present.” – Boston Hassle Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% EDIT “I'll make the case that BALLAD is still a redeemable watch, mostly on the fact that its vibrancy makes it stick out from other movies this year.” – Boston Hassle Nov 12, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% EDIT “Outwardly, [the film] may seem outrageous to laugh at, but Panahi’s lived experience for the absurd legal interference in Iran’s arts gives him the edge to make a piece of sordid affairs.” – Boston Hassle Nov 12, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% EDIT “Reichardt’s blueprint for J.B. was tailored right down to the bone, which is a masterful accomplishment for a movie that could have depended on plot or character-arc certainties to make it tolerable.” – Boston Hassle Oct 29, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% EDIT “The film suffers from the absence of a push or pull, denouncing any stake between the two characters to make it or break it at the end.” – Boston Hassle Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Happyend (2024) 98% EDIT “Its strongest selling point is the fact that it’s a good movie about teenagers, and how the interstitial moments are monumental to the adolescence-turned-adult stage.” – Boston Hassle Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% EDIT “The documentary is indubitably well-executed. It forbids sensationalism from taking hold of the story and doesn’t relent to pure victimizing of the predators.” – Boston Hassle Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Baltimorons (2025) 95% EDIT “The best way to describe THE BALTIMORONS is that it feels rooted in something real. The hijink-energy that pushes the characters into new scenarios is down-to-earth while being cinematically serendipitous.” – Boston Hassle Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% EDIT “The fast-paced wordplay in STRAIGHT UP is boiled down to meaningful deliveries of silence, pain, and misunderstood emotions between Dennis and Roman. They spend more time listening to each other instead of fighting to be the scene’s supreme wisecrack. ” – Boston Hassle Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Love, Brooklyn (2025) 69% EDIT “It feels like it contends with the troubles of gentrification as much as the idea of wanting to believe that the characters have good taste and enough money to not have roommates.” – Boston Hassle Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Cloud (2024) 93% EDIT “Similar to Kurosawa’s TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, a film that blends a creepy edginess with trendy tourism, CLOUD is about a topic that deserves a movie of some sorts, and it’s pretty neat that Kurosawa is the one to do it.” – Boston Hassle Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Sharp Stick (2022) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “If I came to watch a movie called SHARP STICK directed, produced, and written by Lena Dunham, I will certainly see a movie called SHARP STICK directed, produced, and written by Lena Dunham.” – Boston Hassle Jul 20, 2025 Full Review I Love My Dad (2022) 75% 3/5 EDIT “We come to believe that Chuck is trying his best. In turn, the ride to that ending is enjoyable in the way that your favorite song is playing on the radio but you’re riding shotgun in a clown car, which speaks to Morosini’s storytelling strength.” – Boston Hassle Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Emily the Criminal (2022) 93% 2.5/5 EDIT “At times, I can’t tell if we’re supposed to believe that there is a darkness inside Emily that is kicked and pushed around until it’s inverted. If so, I sorta wish they devised a descent of ludicrous ends.” – Boston Hassle Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. (2022) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “The crash and burn of high-profile celebrities, even in the church world, makes me cynical about people who blindly follows the word of others, but for Hall and Brown, I might be close to devotion.” – Boston Hassle Jul 20, 2025 Full Review See How They Run (2022) 75% 3/5 EDIT “It gives me mild pleasure to say that this movie is absolutely fine, which should be ticked off as a win in its field...SEE HOW THEY RUN safely coasts off sensible humor and likable characters to make a sizable splash. ” – Boston Hassle Jul 20, 2025 Full Review God's Country (2022) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Legally, a satisfying ending wouldn’t make sense, but cinematically, it would feel righteous. It may be God’s country, but this is Sandra’s property.” – Boston Hassle Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Bros (2022) 88% 2/5 EDIT “The film shines best when the humor is sour and negative, which is essentially when Eichner is making fun and is being made fun of. However, I think the film loses steam because it doesn’t work as a romantic comedy. ” – Boston Hassle Jul 20, 2025 Full Review
