All the Devils Are Here (2025) 61% EDIT “Still, boring, and listless, and there's a twist that had me rolling my eyes.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Plainclothes (2025) 83% EDIT “I really enjoyed the vibes of it all because it's really trying to capture a moment... The sense of surveillance feels integral rather than flashy.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025) 97% EDIT “It was too baggy without enough focus for it really honor the legacy of Rocky Horror.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% EDIT “Pop culture anthropology at its best.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 75% EDIT “I was trying to think if I've seen a worse Emma Thompson movie, and I couldn't come up with anything. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% EDIT “June Squibb is doing fantastic work, but for the most part I was baffled by the very concept of the movie.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “It's so nimble, fleet-footed and moves with such pace that you really are along for this ride from the beginning.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Are We Good? (2025) 97% EDIT “You're always good when you're with Marc Maron.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review The Ice Tower (2025) 80% EDIT “Any movie that gives me Marion Cotillard smoking a cigarette and staring out into space was always going to be in my wheelhouse. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Fairyland (2023) 96% EDIT “It all felt a bit slight and familiar.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% EDIT “As a piece of disaster filmmaking, this is amazing, and it'll probably hit very close to home to a lot of us.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “There's a muffled sensibility throughout that I think speaks to how [Benny Safdie] was trying to capture Mark Kerr, but to me, all it did was deflate the tension both in the fights and in the personal stuff.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Outerlands (2025) EDIT “What a lovely, lovely, small film -- and I say "small" as a compliment.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review A Magnificent Life (2025) 62% EDIT “It feels like you're just reading a Wikipedia page of Pagnol.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “Schematically, this is kind of the perfect rom-com, but the high-concept gets so needlessly convoluted.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “For what it is and what it's trying to do, it's a perfectly fine animated film.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “This is a movie designed for me to love, and I came away from it dry-[eyed].” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “What really sets it up to be more than just a murder mystery is that Johnson is really in these larger questions. Here, we're being presented with two ways of embracing the world.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% EDIT “The story feels both too small and trying to telegraph things that are too big. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “I feel the note to point out [screenwriter] Anderson's age because what this movie lacks is the kind of gravitas and understanding of the emotional complexity that the setup he's given himself requires.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “A terrible movie with a fascinating premise.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% EDIT “It's been growing and blooming in my mind, and I think part of it is that it is a very odd proposition... The more I've thought about it, the more it keeps creeping up, the more I've come to respect and admire it. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “I was so taken by the absurdity and ridiculousness used to portray this absurd system. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “This movie is insane. It makes me feel insane when I think about it, and it makes me sound insane when I talk about it... I don't think any of it works. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “There's a frenetic, kinetic verve to the film... This is what [Josh Safdie] does, and he does it very well.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review
