“What we find here is a tale of science vs. faith, of humility vs. ego, of memento mori vs. cult of personality. ” –

EDIT
“Good news for people who want to hear ol’ Gerry Butts yelling a word that’s wholly incompatible with his mouth (it’s "marauders"), but bad news for anyone looking for anything beyond surface level thrills.” –

Song Sung Blue (2025)

EDIT
“All the familiar beats of a music biopic are hit: addiction, tragedy, finding strength and redemption through song — yet the way the film hits these beats breaks the formula in novel ways, and does so without feeling contrived or manipulative.” –

Marty Supreme (2025)

EDIT
“I’m not lying when I say the film’s final moment brought forth unexpected tears, and not just because of the sudden deceleration from a movie that cruised along at 500 mph for 2.5 hours.” –

EDIT
“Very little new ground is covered with any of the characters or their relationships. It’s just a series of excuses to throw yet another battle sequence on screen and let it rock our world for a few minutes (which it never fails to do). ” –

“It’s a credit to Wright that the massive ensemble and sprawling plot never feel unwieldy. I just wish that he risked some behind-the-camera unwieldiness — this is an uncharacteristically safe movie. ” –

Barrio Triste (2025)

“A portrait of a chaotic life; a life where nothing is ordinary, and thus the extraordinary is as accepted and expected as anything else.” –

EDIT
“Del Toro manages to put his own spin on the material. Namely, he tones down the “playing God” aspect of the text and replaces it with a “playing Dad” thematic element, mostly to great success.” –

“It’s parenthood as psychological horror, and it’s one of the most difficult movies I’ve seen in quite some time. I highly recommend it, and no, I will not watch it with you. I’ve had my fill of stressors for the week. ” –
