Two Sleepy People (2025) 3/4.0 EDIT “This independent film makes bold choices in both set design and musical score, and those risks pay off.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Bentley’s film, while set more than a century ago, speaks directly to contemporary audiences. Its exploration of family, belonging and humanity’s bond with nature affirms that time changes landscapes but not the human heart.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 67% 3/4 EDIT “Squibb immediately understands the delicate balance required for this role, delivering a performance that’s both heartbreaking and deeply human.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “"Highest 2 Lowest,” after the first act, gives us food for thought and a thrilling ride thanks to a great story told well; ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Aug 14, 2025 Full Review Deaf President Now! (2025) 100% 4/4 EDIT “ The surprisingly uplifting and sometimes humorous documentary of the week-long fight in 1988 from students at Gallaudet University, the only deaf university in the world, is incredibly entertaining and inspiring. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “Heretic” isn’t your typical horror movie; it’s really so much more. Warning: if you’re a “believer,” this might offend you or perhaps even challenge your beliefs. And when a horror movie can do that, you’ve got a winner.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Cinematically, this is a breath-taking film. Most of us don’t know Maria Callas and her story and thanks to Larraín , we are intrigued by this operatic wonder of the mid-1900’s.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Oct 2, 2024 Full Review A Mistake (2024) 74% 3.5/4.0 EDIT ““A Mistake” challenges us to see a tragic event from all sides and understand things in a different and more compassionate way thanks to sharp, succinct writing.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 4/4 EDIT “This is summer’s “must see” movie; especially for parents and tweens and teens as it’ll spark a conversation and perhaps even help kids understand what’s happening at this very tumultuous time in their lives.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Wicked Little Letters (2023) 80% 4/4 EDIT ““Wicked Little Letters” is one of the best movies this year as you might guess given the star power involved. The chemistry between not only Colman and Buckley, but the entire cast who gives life and laughter to an incredulous story. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Problemista (2023) 85% 3.5/4.0 EDIT ““Problemista” is filled with wonder, joy, symbolism, and problems we all know and understand. It’s one of the most original movies I’ve seen this year.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 24, 2024 Full Review Driving Madeleine (2022) 94% 4/4 EDIT “I was swept away by this film; emotionally and cognitively.  I can't remember a time when I became so attached to characters in a film that I sobbed uncontrollably at the end, totally satisfied, happy, and heartbroken all at once.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Mean Girls (2024) 68% 3/4 EDIT “There’s not a dull moment in the movie thanks to quick wit, great editing, imaginative storytelling, and most importantly, a story with a meaningful message.” – Reel Honest Reviews Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Nyad (2023) 86% 4/4 EDIT “Partnering with her best friend and coach, Bonnie (Jodie Foster), “Nyad” tells her story of determination, resiliency, and most importantly friendship and self-worth.” – Reel Honest Reviews Nov 1, 2023 Full Review Pain Hustlers (2023) 23% 3.5/4.0 EDIT ““Pain Hustlers” is Liza’s story to tell and Blunt finds a way to bring her to life and connect us with her.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Totally Killer (2023) 85% 3/4 EDIT “Shipka’s deadpan, nonchalant manner creates its own comedy as she perceives each situation and reacts accordingly, adding to this already smart script.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Oct 15, 2023 Full Review She Came to Me (2023) 48% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is sublimely clever! Never did I anticipate where the story was going or where it would eventually land! ” – Reel Honest Reviews Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Retribution (2023) 30% 3/4 EDIT “This is a high-tension, sit on the edge of your seat movie with not a dull moment thanks to good writing, directing and the acting skills of our three main characters. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Aug 26, 2023 Full Review What Comes Around (2022) 32% 4/4 EDIT “The cast of characters with a complexly intriguing story make “What Comes Around” one of the best smaller films of 2023. Redford’s deft direction creates the unnerving atmosphere necessary for this story.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Aug 5, 2023 Full Review Biosphere (2022) 80% 3/4 EDIT “This film and its details stick with you after the credits roll and even with what I deem to be a dissatisfying ending, it’s a story I won’t soon forget.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Dealing with Dad (2022) 78% 3.5 EDIT “Huang’s “Dealing with Dad” just may allow you to see yourself or your family just a little differently while it entertains and makes you laugh. ” – Reel Honest Reviews May 27, 2023 Full Review Mafia Mamma (2023) 21% 3/4 EDIT ““Mafia Mamma” is downright fun escapism that gives us a balanced story adding just the right touch of comedy, drama, action, craziness, and somehow blends gore and humor together as well. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023) 67% 1/4 EDIT “ Unfortunately, this cat and mouse game leads us along a circuitous path, dragging us along unwillingly at times, and focuses heavily upon torture scenes and incomprehensible violence.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Jesus Revolution (2023) 54% 3/4 EDIT “Jon Gunn and Jon Erwin adapt Greg Laurie’s book to create an inspirational story that allows viewers to step back in time to discover a ripple of a story that became a tidal wave sweeping across America.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% 1.5/4 EDIT “After viewing the latest rendition of the “Ant-Man” series, “Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantamania” starring the familiarly jovial Paul Rudd, I felt compelled to write my review as a letter to you both as well as director Peyton Reed.” – Reel Honest Reviews Feb 17, 2023 Full Review
