A Private Life (2025) 81% 2.5/4 EDIT “Foster and the rest of the cast are so good, I almost want to recommend that you go just for their performances. After all, it’s the journey, not the destination, that counts. That is, unless you’re making a murder mystery.” – Boston Globe Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3/4 EDIT “You can probably figure out where the movie is headed, but that doesn’t make the journey any less fun. The bloody battle between Linda and a wild boar provides the first big thrills of 2026.” – Boston Globe Jan 26, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “Helen is held at such a distance that we’re not even sure why she chose this specific temperamental goshawk in the first place. The flashbacks and overbearing music serve as this film’s emotional core, and the result rings false and superficial.” – Boston Globe Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 1/4 EDIT “I admit that the plot details sound intriguing. But as Roger Ebert used to say, it’s not what a movie is about, but how it’s about it. “Mercy” completely botches that “how.” ” – Boston Globe Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 2/4 EDIT “When the credits rolled on this story of a woman who was, as we’re told, “clothed by the Sun,” I felt curiously empty and couldn’t remember anyone else besides Lee. That’s a testament to Seyfried’s performance, but doesn’t make for a satisfying movie.” – Boston Globe Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 2/4 EDIT “DaCosta knows how to milk a scene for maximum impact, and she’s not afraid to get gruesome. The problem here is Garland’s script, which spends far too much time with the less interesting of its two stories.” – Boston Globe Jan 14, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 3/4 EDIT “The Brits do this kind of light and dark juggling act better than almost anybody, and the filmmakers and their cast deliver a movie that's perfect for viewing on a lazy Sunday afternoon at the movie theater.” – Boston Globe Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 3.5/4 EDIT “Perhaps this anthology is too slight for serious contention; though the emotions run large and some plot points are quietly devastating, Jarmusch takes his usual laidback approach to the material.” – Boston Globe Jan 8, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “The satirical screenplay, by Park, Lee Kyoung Mi, Jahye Lee, and Canadian filmmaker Don McKellar, is full of pitch black comedy and unsubtle jabs at toxic masculinity.” – Boston Globe Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “There’s a lot more story here. But at some point, I stopped trying to follow along and simply gave in to what I was seeing and feeling. Once I relinquished the desire to make sense of everything, I had a good time.” – Boston Globe Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 2/4 EDIT “A standard issue divorce movie, with scenes you’ve seen countless times before, just with less bitterness and more quirk.” – Boston Globe Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 1.5/4 EDIT “As an unabashed lover of grindhouse and genre fare, it’s an insult to me when a movie repeatedly states that it knows it’s not good. That’s not a creative idea, for starters, but it’s also aggravating.” – Boston Globe Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 1.5/4 EDIT “In the end, “Song Sung Blue” is a movie done badly. You may argue that this is all “based on a true story,” and I’ll retort that I don’t care. Truth may be stranger than fiction, but it damn sure isn’t this contrived.” – Boston Globe Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 1.5/4 EDIT “There is nothing I dislike more than a movie that demands that you love an obnoxious, insufferable protagonist. “Marty Supreme” is not only one of the worst examples of this phenomenon, it’s also one of the worst movies of the year.” – Boston Globe Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Breakdown: 1975 (2025) 77% 2/4 EDIT “By the end credits, I still wasn’t sure what to glean from the hodgepodge of ideas thrown at me. I concede that my expectations may have been set improperly by the title of this documentary. Your mileage may vary.” – Boston Globe Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2/4 EDIT “I’m sure “Avatar: Fire and Ash” will make lots of dollars and cents. I’m not sure why these films have a following, but my job isn’t to ruminate on an audience’s taste. I can only tell you what I think, and I think I’ve had enough of “Avatar” movies.” – Boston Globe Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 22% 2/4 EDIT “Ella McCay never registers as a real person; she’s a collection of tics that Mackey desperately tries to play. ” – Boston Globe Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/4 EDIT “Love it or hate it, "Hamnet" will get a response out of you that you won’t easily shake. I was equally moved and horrified, and I loved every minute of it.” – Boston Globe Nov 30, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Ke Huy Quan brings sympathy and good will to his voicing of Gary; he’s the film’s heart and soul. Shakira even gets a catchy earworm of a song co-written by, of all people, Ed Sheeran.” – Boston Globe Nov 30, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 2/4 EDIT “Joan is only given the illusion of agency. Her character’s main trait is that she’s conflicted, and two men are guiding her decision. Olsen has zero chemistry with either actor, so there’s no suspense.” – Boston Globe Nov 30, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/4 EDIT “I’ve enjoyed all three movies, but this one is the best of the "Knives Out" mysteries so far. His inability to land on a solution makes Benoit Blanc insecure, and it opens up new layers for Craig to play, and the resulting tension keeps us on our toes.” – Boston Globe Nov 30, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% 1/4 EDIT “This movie is a raging, unwatchable bore, filled with unnecessary details and interminable ramblings. Though it runs a mere 76 minutes, it feels like 76 hours.” – Boston Globe Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 2/4 EDIT “The follow-up to director Jon M. Chu’s massive 2024 hit is more of the same, only darker. The dark elements are written into the show’s second act, which even fans would agree is not as good as the first.” – Boston Globe Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 3.5/4 EDIT “Rami Malek and Russell Crowe lead a cast of actors doing excellent work in this large scale, old school ensemble piece. ” – Boston Globe Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 1.5/4 EDIT “The script for “Christy” is shockingly inept. Director David Michôd (“Animal Kingdom”) and his co-writer, Mirrah Foulkes, turn Martin’s inspirational story into a Lifetime movie replete with cheap attempts at stand up and cheer moments.” – Boston Globe Nov 7, 2025 Full Review
