Black Bag (2025) 96% EDIT “Assuming the mantle of a 1940s classic proves equally invigorating for Koepp and Soderbergh, who have given themselves interesting problems to solve and their performers sophisticated material to play.” – Sight & Sound Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% EDIT “The film’s sound design, mixing David Letellier’s dance music score with howling wind, ambient rumble, and the occasional shocking explosion, continues at the same teeth-rattling density throughout its two-hour runtime.” – Sight & Sound Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “The film seems interested in the creative process...but largely skips over the unsuccessful full-band recording sessions that convinced Springsteen to release the demos as they were. ” – The Atlantic Oct 26, 2025 Full Review Two Pianos (2025) EDIT “Two Pianos simply goes down smooth.” – Little White Lies Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% EDIT “McKellen makes a feast of a verbose and expansive part, holding forth with a Lear bass rumble catching on wet lungs.” – Little White Lies Sep 9, 2025 Full Review The Fence (2025) 70% EDIT “Denis, here working with new regular DP Éric Gautier, has handled the digital transition as well as any filmmaker. ” – Little White Lies Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Christy is basically solid.” – Little White Lies Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Sacrifice (2025) 38% EDIT “The Sacrifice is intermittently farcical, a celebrity-led movie protecting its flashy revolutionary trappings from accusations of hypocrisy by making its characters into the laziest self-deprecating caricatures imaginable.” – Little White Lies Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Maddie's Secret (2025) 88% EDIT “John Early’s directorial debut is a sincere and surprising comedic triumph.” – Little White Lies Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Young Mothers (2025) 95% 3/5 EDIT “The stories, each given a quarter of the movie, are so compressed that supporting characters are reduced to heroes and villains.” – Little White Lies May 27, 2025 Full Review Heads or Tails? (2025) 91% EDIT “It’s a massively charismatic performance on par with anything else in Reilly’s career, and gives all-American substance to this clever Italian mistranslation.” – Little White Lies May 22, 2025 Full Review The Disappearance of Josef Mengele (2025) EDIT “Of course, the first thing Kirill Serebrennikov would do upon arrival in Germany is to make a movie about a Nazi... he handles a characteristically inflammatory subject with uncharacteristic inoffensiveness, yielding limited insight.” – Little White Lies May 21, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “Lee’s staging is comparatively rushed, flat and antsy… but he does dynamic work when the action leaves King’s apartment and moves onto a Bronx-bound 4 train. ” – Little White Lies May 20, 2025 Full Review The Love That Remains (2025) 96% EDIT “The Love That Remains becomes increasingly surreal as it goes, with Hlynur’s cast acting out slapstick sight gags and dream sequences inspired by B-movies and Bergman.” – Little White Lies May 19, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night (2024) 77% EDIT “The film is fan fiction about real-life celebrities.” – Little White Lies Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Eden (2024) 58% EDIT “Eden is best when it's most shameless about the historical record, spinning it into splashy camp.” – Little White Lies Sep 9, 2024 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% EDIT “If the mother-daughter stuff is derivative, it’s not manipulative; shot in grainy, sun-saturated handheld, with lens flare blowing out the sandy desert hues, it’s dreamy and low-key to a fault...” – Little White Lies Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% EDIT “What a joy it is to be back in Leigh’s London after such a long absence – to see it from new angles, made accessible to his loving gaze by a cast of fresh collaborators. ” – Little White Lies Sep 9, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% EDIT “This is simply a generic and brutally efficient tearjerker—like its title, it aspires to archetypal grandeur and lands somewhere blander. ” – Little White Lies Sep 9, 2024 Full Review The End (2024) 56% EDIT “In a musical, music is used to give the characters a way to express what they mean to say... but the film’s dramatic and philosophical framework is so schematic, its dialogue so italicized with subtext, that the songs feel superfluous as well as prosaic. ” – Little White Lies Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Between the Temples (2024) 84% EDIT “Director Nathan Silver’s hopeful film demonstrates the adaptability of tradition, and the possibility of reconciliation and continuity across the generations.” – The Atlantic Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Hundreds of Beavers (2022) 97% EDIT “A midnight movie for an era of YouTube playthroughs and Twitch livestreams.” – Sight & Sound Jul 16, 2024 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% EDIT “Though the film is epic in length and ambitious in subject, it also has a hurried, shoestring quality. ” – Little White Lies May 29, 2024 Full Review Parthenope (2024) 47% EDIT “Every work of art begins with a question. With Parthenope, Paolo Sorrentino asks: What if a woman was hot?” – Little White Lies May 22, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 82% EDIT “It’s the kind of charismatic antihero’s journey that might fly in a Scorsese film — arguably the ultimate Trump film is The Wolf of Wall Street — but Abassi and Sherman’s take on the material is largely dutiful.” – Little White Lies May 22, 2024 Full Review
