Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% EDIT “The ultimate delight of Nouvelle Vague recalls F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Last Tycoon: Linklater appreciates that even as early as Breathless, Godard held in his head “the whole equation” of cinema and business, art and politics, exploitation and morality.” – National Review Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% EDIT “Sports is the subject of Eephus, a surprisingly good movie for 2025, which was an exceptionally poor year for American films.” – National Review Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% EDIT “These themes are recognizable, sometimes amusing, without ever being convincing. Too many rhyming quirks and coincidences prove Jarmusch’s poor dramaturgy. ” – National Review Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “None of this tells us anything new beyond confirming the insidious, treacherous, bad character traits that the millennium so far has showcased.” – National Review Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “Diamond’s mysterious craft is the secret charm that makes Song Sung Blue so very moving.” – National Review Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Wild Reeds (1994) 100% EDIT “Its vision of political and humanist harmony remains great enough to instruct this era’s discordance.” – National Review Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “Lee has no interest in portraying the reality of black American economics but misreads the black bourgeoisie in terms of his own partisanship. ” – National Review Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “When the show’s trio cheers itself, it recalls why the Tony Awards broadcast has become unwatchable.” – National Review Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “Everything about Hamnet is condescending, just as everything is literalized in today’s movies because Hollywood has thoroughly abandoned outreach.” – National Review Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dracula (2025) 66% EDIT “There’s undeniable brilliance throughout the nearly three hours. But Dracula is also [Radu Jude's] most infuriating and least disciplined film, because he doesn’t understand global disaster so much as he is simply, brazenly, cynical.” – National Review Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Erivo and Grande both sing with so little personality that their friendship just seems like a tired gimmick. And the Easter egg ending that contradicts the story’s original moral lesson is not happy.” – National Review Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% EDIT “The mix of sentimentality and skepticism defeats the movie.” – National Review Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% EDIT “Ballad of a Small Player is a modern version of an international co-production -- what once was a common feature of post-WWII filmmaking shared among nations. Using exotic locales, this production represents globalist insecurity.” – National Review Nov 15, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “Del Toro’s movie begins with a premise intended to fascinate. But it’s merely a banal excuse for his usual generic specialty: macabre pseudoscience and outlandish violence.” – National Review Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “Quoting the ancient Greek comic dramatist Antiphanes in the prologue of Hedda, a new update of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, does not prove writer-director Nia DaCosta’s sophistication; it announces her inanity.” – National Review Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Auction (2024) 90% EDIT “Subtlety is rare in pop fiction, but it distinguishes Auction’s depiction of the art world. ” – National Review Oct 31, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “A House of Dynamite is not a work of realism. Bigelow’s style of headlong scenes, brief interactions, worried facial expressions, and a deluge of wonky acronyms simulates naturalism in place of actual governmental disclosure. ” – National Review Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “It’s an unreliable and politically dishonest film, a showbiz version of Hamilton. ” – National Review Oct 27, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “Panahi clearly tests the market for political clichés. The fundamental problem is that the unseen torture and uncertain identification of Eghbal creates an over-projection of Iranian fascism and paranoia that seems to lie within...” – National Review Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “The pity-party approach of Blue Moon betrays its subject... Hart’s perfectionist demand for “hard-earned joy, unsentimental joy” becomes a hipster cop-out. ” – National Review Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% EDIT “Refusing to understand others when you can merely ridicule them, Coen and Cooke over-politicize their own conceit.” – National Review Oct 18, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “After this supposition -- that the smartest people in the world are in conflict with their human frailties -- the filmmakers refuse to hold the nation’s elite accountable for making the world miserable.” – National Review Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) 62% EDIT “Sandler’s bar-mitzvah-banquet genre is the closest American movies get to the emotional amplitude of France’s Jean Renoir. ” – National Review Oct 4, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “Anderson’s title lacks Pynchon’s pith but daydreams a culture of never-ending political obstruction and pandemonium. It is the year’s most irresponsible movie.” – National Review Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Megadoc (2025) 98% EDIT “A significant report on the self-destructive tendencies of Millennial cinema.” – National Review Sep 26, 2025 Full Review
