In the Blink of an Eye (2026) EDIT “It beggars belief that, having been sent briefly to Director’s Jail with the middling John Carter, its director would expect a film as woolly and sentimental as this to take him anywhere except backwards.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) 100% EDIT “Harry is a throwback, and so is The Only Living Pickpocket In New York, this modest but really rather mesmerizing and forlorn film, one that’s curated just as much as it is directed.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Frank & Louis (2026) 87% EDIT “Themes of guilt, punishment and redemption are common currency in prison dramas, but Petra Volpe’s terrific Frank & Louis looks at the issue from entirely unexpected and wholly moving perspective. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Shitheads (2026) 63% EDIT “Dumb and Dumber meets Midnight Run better reflects the premise; despite the abrasive, sweary title, The Sh*theads is actually a really rather endearing buddy movie.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Gallerist (2026) 54% EDIT “The film struggles to fill less than 90 minutes. It is, however, fun while it lasts, and the female-skewed script gives food for thought about the male dominance of the art space while making serious points about value and self-worth.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 26, 2026 Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 88% EDIT “[Gregg Araki is] cinema’s punk poet laureate of Generation X... [I Want Your Sex] is his outreach to Generation Z, a campy, ridiculous, raunchy comedy that riffs on the age gap, and wonderful odd-couple chemistry, between his two leads. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) EDIT “We wonder how writer-director Louis Paxton, making his feature debut, will emerge from the corner that he’s painted himself into. Against the odds, though, and largely thanks to the core trio, The Incomer pulls together.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Buddy (2026) 80% EDIT “Kelly plays with form in ways that some might find exasperating, but there is always a method to his madness and, like Too Many Cooks, Buddy goes out on a psychedelic high, like an extraordinary experiment in mind control.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 23, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Key to this is Fiennes’ commando performance, a tour de force with so few f---s given that the film’s astonishing, electrifying climax could put him back into the awards conversation.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 13, 2026 Full Review All the Walls Came Down (2025) EDIT “A meditation on loss that dares you to put yourself in Timoner’s place and imagine the unimaginable. So, what would you do? No two viewers will react the same, nor should they. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “Paul Verhoeven would have been a much better fit [to direct the original The Running Man], and with this impressively muscular reboot one senses that Edgar Wright thinks so too.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “A disarmingly human film about who we are, how we get to where we are, and how we survive. It’s lovely. It’s one from the heart.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “The action scenes never seem to galvanize, and somewhere along the line the predator, once a ruthless, unstoppable killing machine, has simply lost its menacing mojo. It all seems a bit, well, silly.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Nov 4, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 68% EDIT “The film’s flaws are pretty much all front-loaded into the almost aggressively twee prologue, and if you can handle that, the rest of the film should be plain sailing.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% EDIT “Regretting You is a tribute to the transportational properties of cinema; for two very long hours you’ll be wondering what year it is, where you are, and what the hell you’re doing there. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Kim Novak's Vertigo (2025) 92% EDIT “More importantly, it gives Novak an excuse (she humbly calls it “permission”) to look back on her life and give us her side of the story -- unapologetic and, right from the start, impressively unfiltered.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% EDIT “Although he could so easily have rested on his old man’s laurels, Day-Lewis Jr. instead exploits those expectations of his father’s power, and he does so in a fuss-free way that serves the story surprisingly well.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Franz (2025) 74% EDIT “Franz marvels at the depth and strangeness of his intellect, which confounds his overbearing father who takes a dim view of his son’s “stupid writing.”” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Swiped (2025) 44% EDIT “The beauty of Swiped, however, is its lightness of touch, and star James understands the assignment perfectly well. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) 98% EDIT “The end result is like stepping on and off a moving train, and though most of it will fly over the heads of casual viewers, there’s a definite poetry to its many mysteries.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Sacrifice (2025) 38% EDIT “It's nuts, and not for everyone. But Sacrifice does have a message, and it's about the ouroboros -- the perpetual self-eating snake -- that is the world's performative reaction to climate change.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% EDIT “It’s a tricky subject for sure, and that it works at all is down to McKellen, always game and here leaning valiantly into his mortality at the age of 86... He’s an actor who gives everything his all, no strings attached. ” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Heel (2025) 94% EDIT “Like an early Yorgos Lanthimos, the strangeness of the premise does a lot of heavy lifting, but the performers literally bring character to what might easily have been a one-note movie.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “Despite a certain staginess, and a tendency for the plot to suddenly stop to make way for the acting, Hedda is actually a genuine attempt to mine something new from the old text.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “As one character put it, “There’s obviously some Scooby-Doo shit going on round here.” And wouldn’t you just know it, there damn well is.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily Sep 7, 2025 Full Review
