Buddy (2026) 80% EDIT “By and large, Buddy proves that high-concept short-form premises can be expanded to a feature format effectively, so long as the final film isn’t too winky and the stakes feel grounded.” – The Film Stage Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 57% EDIT “With a cavalcade of hilarious bits, inspired cinematography, and a willingness to earnestly be about something, The Moment serves as a bold reinvention of the mockumentary genre that until now was content to stay put in pithy joke territory.” – The Film Stage Jan 25, 2026 Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 88% EDIT “A ridiculous sex-filled romp with entertaining stretches, [Araki's] first feature in 12 years often plays like a lecture from one sexually-liberated queer male to the reportedly sexless younger generation.” – The Film Stage Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The History of Concrete (2026) 100% EDIT “The History of Concrete is a joyous ride full of his now-trademark detours and persistent, underlying sadness at both the state of New York (his first and true love) and, on a secondary scale, the world at large.” – The Film Stage Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Tuner (2025) 97% B- EDIT “It’s a playful movie in form and content, one that rarely takes itself too seriously, and as such, it can’t help but skate by as a pleasurable ride.” – IndieWire Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Eagles of the Republic (2025) 65% EDIT “Eagles of the Republic walks a tonal tightrope of playful industry satire with thriller elements, a balancing act that works when this narrative is situated fully within Fahmy’s headspace.” – The Film Stage May 19, 2025 Full Review Juror #2 (2024) 93% A- EDIT “Juror #2 stands out as the best late-career Eastwood film, from an era with its fair share of gems. ” – The Film Stage Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Here (2024) 36% C- EDIT “Here carries [a] sense of dolls being arranged in a dollhouse.” – The Film Stage Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% B- EDIT “More airport paperback than theological treatise, Conclave is undeniably silly throughout, but its last-second reveals choreograph the sensibility too openly, undercutting much of what was masterfully unfurled up until that point. ” – The Film Stage Sep 10, 2024 Full Review The End (2024) 56% A- EDIT “While [recent eat the rich satires] function as empty calories, a way for audience laughter to act as an absolution of responsibility, The End seeks to probe something deeper: to examine the evil in all man, then offer up hope and a path for redemption” – The Film Stage Sep 7, 2024 Full Review The Piano Lesson (2024) 88% C+ EDIT “The Piano Lesson is referential, often overly so... However, there’s enough promise here to mark this an impressive debut for Malcolm Washington and point to a newcomer to track.” – IndieWire Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% B- EDIT “Piece by Piece is ultimately surface-level entertainment, a light, visually-inventive ride without much to offer its audiences beyond a reaffirmation on the values of hard work and believing in one’s self.” – IndieWire Aug 31, 2024 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 74% C EDIT “ [This surprise ending is a] cheap trick, a last-ditch effort to distract from a flimsy narrative arc, flat line-readings, repetitive middle section, rushed final act, and clues choreographed to such a degree they become laughable. ” – The Film Stage Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 95% EDIT “Universal Language frequently discovers a beauty in blandness, a whimsy in the everyday, and is a remarkable second feature from Rankin.” – In Review Online Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Motel Destino (2024) 78% EDIT “Motel Destino’s visual storytelling reaches inspiring heights in its opening act, though the following two hours never quite match. ” – In Review Online Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Savages (2024) 100% B+ EDIT “An emotionally resonant stop-motion fable that looks at rampant deforestation on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. ” – The Film Stage May 31, 2024 Full Review Oh Canada (2024) 66% 6/10 EDIT “Oh, Canada is too buttoned up with a first-draft script to be more than a curiosity when stacked against Schrader’s odder, more fearless oeuvre.” – Collider May 29, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 82% 7/10 EDIT “When considering the long line of grifters and mythmakers this country has produced (and will still), Trump isn’t unique and so his story is told plainly, without special treatment.” – Collider May 24, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 7/10 EDIT “Considering The Substance’s ending builds on the blood-soaked ending of Revenge, then God help us for what Fargeat has in store for us for her third feature. The Substance ensures she’ll have a legion of new horror fans anxiously anticipating it.” – Collider May 21, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% B+ EDIT “Jockeying for position in love triangles, love lives spilling onto the court, a keen sense for heightened ridiculousness: Challengers shares plenty DNA with Showgirls. ” – The Film Stage Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Bikeriders (2023) 79% C- EDIT “Nichols’ classic filmmaking sensibilities are a peculiar fit with the required grubbiness that comes with characters who work on and ride custom motorcycles as a hobby. ” – The Film Stage Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Saltburn (2023) 72% C EDIT “It’s impossible not to sense the film completely slipping from her once the narrative begins unveiling a bold set of reveals in this final third.” – The Film Stage Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Free Time (2023) 91% B+ EDIT “Free Time’s strength comes in allowing ample room for grace alongside its indictments. Eschewing self-righteousness, Free Time merely presents a collection of observations on how modern life often plays out like an absurdist comedy.” – The Film Stage Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Immaculate (2024) 72% C+ EDIT “Immaculate opts for a straightforward approach that delivers the violent ending it seeks but squanders the potential of its promising setup in the process. ” – The Film Stage Mar 25, 2024 Full Review
