Send Help (2026) 94% B+ EDIT “Hilariously gory, spooky and suspenseful, this is a soon-to-be Halloween classic that continues to make us ask, "Why the hell is Rachel McAdams not a huge star?"” – The Film Maven Jan 26, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% B EDIT “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is not only better than its predecessor, it's one of the first great movies of 2026. ” – The Film Maven Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% C- EDIT “For those looking for a good time at the movies, Avatar: Fire and Ash offers some thrilling visuals but little else. The story is repetitive and unfocused, the characters dull and lacking depth.” – The Film Maven Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% A- EDIT “Hamnet is another slow burn from Chloe Zhao, but when it really unleashes its magic it's an unstoppable force enhanced by Jessie Buckley's performance. A beautiful examination of mourning and artistic catharsis.” – The Film Maven Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% B+ EDIT “A rapid-fire story of superiority wrapped up in a burning performance by Timothee Chalamet. Even a Safdie naysayer will find something to be charmed by.” – The Film Maven Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% B- EDIT “Wicked: For Good sticks the landing as best as it can. When Erivo and Grande are finally together, it does leave "a handprint on your heart" even if everything leading up to it is just drawing that out. ” – The Film Maven Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% C- EDIT “There are fits and spurts of '80s action cheese but, for the most part, the script is wildly inconsistent in terms of tone while characters are wafer thin caricatures. ” – The Film Maven Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% B+ EDIT “This is one of the purest, sweetest movies you'll see all year.” – The Film Maven Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% D- EDIT “Song Sung Blue is essentially white trash Hustle & Flow, removing the rap for Neil Diamond. Hudson and Jackman are fine, but the movie's overwrought and, at times, irritating portrayal of disability and poverty gets old fast.” – The Film Maven Oct 27, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% D- EDIT “After the Hunt is a tired mess that wants to be provocative and thought-provoking in a way that feels dated and out-of-touch. ” – The Film Maven Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% D EDIT “An homage to Nightmare on Elm Street so blatant as to be an outright rip-off, Black Phone 2 takes elements that should work, but ends up losing the beat with a sluggish story and a wafer thin premise.” – The Film Maven Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% B- EDIT “Visually, Frankenstein is a feast of impeccable costumes and production design. And the first hour of the movie is thrilling, with Isaac in fine form. The second half is muted, but still has a power to it, coupled with a unique performance from Elordi.” – The Film Maven Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% A EDIT “Kiss of the Spider Woman is astounding. If you aren't a musical fan, will you be in hell? Probably. But for those who enjoy a sweeping musical story, or for lovers of Old Hollywood, you'll be in Heaven for the next two hours.” – The Film Maven Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Play Dirty (2025) 42% D EDIT “It's not that Play Dirty is a terrible movie, just a very dull one. One that never feels like a Shane Black-directed feature but, perhaps more egregiously, feels like a movie you'd find on Amazon Prime. ” – The Film Maven Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% C EDIT “Roofman succeeds on Channing Tatum's charm which covers up for a pretty thin script. Cianfrance tells another story about personal choice that, unlike his past work, does feel lighter and more hopeful. ” – The Film Maven Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% A EDIT “Hedda is one of the year's best movies with Thompson nothing short of wondrous.” – The Film Maven Sep 22, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% D- EDIT “Him is barely a movie. It's an extended video game sequence with a Satanic vibe to it. Wayans is good, but he's not worth making a point to see the movie.” – The Film Maven Sep 18, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% A- EDIT “One Battle After Another is an ensemble powerhouse, with Anderson taking a stab at what could be his most politically charged feature. DiCaprio is wonderful, but then again there's not a dull note in the entire cast.” – The Film Maven Sep 17, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% A EDIT “At the end of the journey, what the audience has experienced is a wondrous dive into humanity's capacity for love that is truly life-affirming. I felt this was a movie made specifically for me, and I have a feeling others will think that as well.” – The Film Maven Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% D+ EDIT “Where This is Spinal Tap was a comedy masquerading as a documentary film, and doing both extremely well, Spinal Tap 2 is a thinly drawn concert film pretending to be a sequel and doing neither good enough to be compelling. ” – The Film Maven Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% B+ EDIT “Yorgos Lanthimos wants you to care about the planet. If only to save your own skin. Such is the case with his latest feature, Bugonia, an incredibly quirky call to arms about the beauty of our world and how hellbent we are on destroying it.” – The Film Maven Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% B EDIT “This was a heartfelt, emotionally resonant story about the power of our lives and the capacity of our stories lingering on long after we've left this world. Take someone you love and see it.” – The Film Maven Sep 9, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% D+ EDIT “By the time this closes out Last Rites certainly holds true: a weak script kills the franchise and is helping it pass onto the other side.” – The Film Maven Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% C- EDIT “Caught Stealing certainly doesn’t feel like an Aronofsky movie, and that generic sensibility will affect your mileage on it. It does give Butler a great opportunity to prove his worth as a leading man.” – The Film Maven Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% D+ EDIT “The Roses doesn’t have much humor and isn’t dark at all. It’s like a piece of puff pastry, cute on the outside and absolutely nothing on the inside.” – The Film Maven Aug 25, 2025 Full Review
