Late Fame (2026) 85% B+ EDIT “Samy Burch’s script skewers New York ne’er-do-wells and wannabe artists, rich kid poseurs and more, perfectly embodied by Edmund Donovan and his band of merry men. ” – AwardsWatch Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% A- EDIT “There’s something unique about watching a film or a play that’s essentially just two people talking in a room. At first, you feel like a voyeur, like you’re not supposed to be there.” – AwardsWatch Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% C- EDIT “Is it entertaining to watch two of our greatest performers spear each other with nasty one-liners? Unequivocally yes. But with nothing underneath it they may have won the battle but ultimately lost the war.” – AwardsWatch Aug 25, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% A- EDIT “Like echoes through time, like the relationship between David and Lionel itself; fleeting, a distant memory, but permanently imprinted on the record of the soul.” – AwardsWatch Jun 4, 2025 Full Review Enzo (2025) 86% B EDIT “In his film debut, Eloy Pohu brings a freshness to Enzo, a nervous immaturity where spontaneous actions can be brave or stupid.” – AwardsWatch May 28, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% A EDIT “[Frank] Dillane is spectacular here, giving a performance that is spiky and electric, like Gary Oldman in the 80s and early 90s.” – AwardsWatch May 28, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% A- EDIT “Melling, so good in supporting roles, is front and center here in one of the year’s best performances as Colin.” – AwardsWatch May 28, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% A- EDIT “There’s a breezy nature to Nouvelle Vague that, while it speaks directly to the Criterion Closet set, to an adventurous newcomer to the history of the French New Wave will be easily entertained and inspired by.” – AwardsWatch May 28, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% B+ EDIT “Aster is bound to make a lot of people mad with Eddington and plenty will feel that five years isn’t enough time to properly analyze the communication breakdown that COVID and the 2020 election but he’s an instigator.” – AwardsWatch May 19, 2025 Full Review Plainclothes (2025) 83% B EDIT “Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey are fantastic and sell every moment of desperation, fear and longing in a way that’s palpable if bleak.” – AwardsWatch Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% A- EDIT “One of Victor’s greatest strengths in her filmmaking trifecta here is her astonishing ability to shift tones not just within scenes but within sentences, taking us from heartbreak to humor in a way that’s never glib or defensively dismissive. ” – AwardsWatch Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% A EDIT “Dylan O'Brien gives one (well, two) of the best performances of the year in one of the best films of the year.” – AwardsWatch Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% A- EDIT “Gladiator II is the grandest spectacle of the year, a stirring epic and Paul Mescal is a worthy successor to the throne.” – AwardsWatch Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% A EDIT “I’d be hard pressed to think of anyone other than Luca Guadagnino to be as perfect for this material as he is at this point in his career. He understands longing and compulsion but also compassion.” – AwardsWatch Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% A- EDIT “After Jackie and Spencer, Maria beautifully concludes Pablo Larraín’s exquisite trilogy with the hand of a true maestro, giving Angelina Jolie the performance of her career and La Callas the diva send off she deserves.” – AwardsWatch Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% C EDIT “There’s something else missing from Twisters; a spark. While so much of the new film takes notes from the first, the friction and chemistry between Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton was a driving force and an underlying motivation.” – AwardsWatch Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% B EDIT “While still mining some pitch perfect humor and laughs (the ‘Sarchasm’ is probably the film’s best pun), the film curiously shies away from going too dark.” – AwardsWatch Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% A- EDIT “Nestled somewhere between Eighth Grade, the Oscar-nominated doc Minding the Gap and PEN15, Dìdi (弟弟) hits all the right notes of the AIM age, My Space and Motorola Razr phones for its 2008 Bay Area-set story.” – AwardsWatch Jan 29, 2024 Full Review In the Summers (2024) 93% B EDIT “In the Summers owes a bit to Moonlight and Aftersun in its storytelling but carves out its own path in a way that spells a bright future for Lacorazza.” – AwardsWatch Jan 29, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% A EDIT “ It’s among the most brittle and beautiful work of Eisenberg’s career. Spectacular work. I know it’s only the end of January but I don’t hesitate to say that I think A Real Pain will remain one of the best films of the year.” – AwardsWatch Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Thelma (2024) 98% B EDIT “June Squibb is absolutely winning as Thelma, full of grit and vulnerability in this gem of a film and Margolin directs with the energy of an action movie that keeps its 97 minute run time full speed ahead.” – AwardsWatch Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Ponyboi (2024) 81% B EDIT “...a unique take on the crime thriller, an exciting perspective and one that balances farce with heart in mostly the right measures.” – AwardsWatch Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Love Me (2024) 46% C EDIT “That [they] are voiced by Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun are as good as you can get but they end up being one of the few saving graces of the film, a largely unoriginal and lethargic mishmash of WALL-E, Her, Good Night Oppy and the SIMs.” – AwardsWatch Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Wonka (2023) 82% B EDIT “Wonka is full of charm and Chalamet is an absolute delight here.” – AwardsWatch Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Memory (2023) 85% B+ EDIT “[Michel Franco] lets the performances do the emotional heavy lifting while never letting the narrative feel exploitative – and it really pays off. ” – AwardsWatch Sep 17, 2023 Full Review
