Mercy (2026) 24% 1.5 / 5 EDIT “That set-up might make Mercy sound like it’s attempting a classic act of sci-fi irony [...] but hold up! Mercy’s attitudes toward artificial intelligence, due process, and the surveillance state are a lot more nuanced. Way too nuanced, really.” – The Reveal Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% A EDIT “With the nuclear age came the realization that humanity had crafted a fire as destructive as any god. Worse, there was no sign that God stood in its way. One of the first movies to address that anxiety, The Day The Earth Stood Still...” – AV Club Jan 15, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Zlotowski understands that the real appeal of most mystery movies comes from the characters and the setting more than the plot, but A Private Life’s not-quite-fatal flaw is how little effort it puts into its plot’s central element,” – The Reveal Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “[I]t just keeps going, offering a weird, bleak, viscerally uncomfortable, and sometimes bitingly funny exploration of the persistence of evil even among those severed from the past. Yes, there are zombies. But the real monstrousness lies elsewhere.” – The Reveal Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% A- EDIT “Sturges is no Kurosawa, but he makes Seven into the cinematic equivalent of a catchy cover tune that loses some of the original's depth, but adds a snap all its own.” – AV Club Jan 14, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “A lot of zombie movies get so caught up in the business of survival—fast or slow, the undead can be formidable foes—they seem to forget that all those shambling corpses used to be somebody’s loved ones. ” – The Reveal Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 2/5 EDIT “There’s nothing awful about it, but there’s little to recommend it, either. In a year in which comedy has struggled to regain its place in movie theaters, Anaconda doesn’t make a strong case for making the trip to the multiplex in search of laughs.” – The Reveal Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 4/5 EDIT “[I[t’s a bittersweetness that really unites each story.” – The Reveal Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “It evens out to an engaging-enough biopic, but if Song Sung Blue had found a way to interpret their bittersweet love story with a Lightning & Thunder-like intensity, it could have been even more.” – The Reveal Dec 24, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “It’s a film that could have been tailor-made for 2025 and, even more chillingly, for seemingly every year in the foreseeable future.” – The Reveal Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “What worked in The Way of Water works here, just not quite as well. ” – The Reveal Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 2.5/5 EDIT “For long stretches, Is This Thing On? works better on a scene-by-scene basis than as a cohesive film. ” – The Reveal Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 22% 2/5 EDIT “The iffy de-aging effects are less of a problem than a ramshackle construction that makes it feel like the film will never get started. An even bigger problem: it never really does.” – The Reveal Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “As the record of a landmark staging of a great play [the film] feels like a gift to all those who wish they could have been there, or want to return.” – The Reveal Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 8.9/10 EDIT “O'Connor doesn't just rise to meet material that folds substantive questions into a whodunit puzzle, he elevates it.” – TV Guide Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Even while laying bare the mechanics he would use to tell a story likely to trip viewers’ b******* meters and calling out one genre cliche after another, Zodiac Killer Project almost works as a compelling true crime doc anyway...” – The Reveal Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “[A] charming and ultimately moving comedy” – The Reveal Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “Co-written by Baumbach and Emily Mortimer 'Jay Kelly' offers two complementary depictions of men forced to reckon with where life has taken them as they approach the back half of middle age.” – The Reveal Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “It’s Sweeney that sets it apart.” – The Reveal Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Whishaw and Hall deliver lovely, tender performances that capture the friendship between the writer and her subject” – The Reveal Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “Bentley transforms Johnson’s story into a Terrence Malick-inspired reverie of images and overlapping emotions, accompanied by large chunks of Johnson’s prose via Will Patton’s narration.” – The Reveal Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Linklater’s not particularly interested in exploring anyone’s inner lives [...] but his ability to reshape the story into a lighthearted hangout movie, in which characters put aside their differences to get a job done, makes it brisk and entertaining.” – The Reveal Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “Once the film finds its true hero, it becomes exactly as good as the idea of a del Toro adaptation promised: the defining 21st century cinematic Frankenstein.” – The Reveal Oct 17, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The first film Panahi made after his 2022 arrest, the most recent of his many conflicts with the Iranian government, It Was Just an Accident is both typically uncompromising and, for long stretches, disarmingly funny.” – The Reveal Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Hawke’s ability to convey flashes of self-awareness elevates his performance from a brilliant impression to a fully realized tragic portrait.” – The Reveal Oct 16, 2025 Full Review
