The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “The Chronology of Water is a voyage into demanding psychological territory: Poots makes for a formidable sentinel and Stewart a masterful guide.” – Arts Fuse Jan 26, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% EDIT “Fans of this ongoing horror narrative will find much to appreciate here. The performances are great across the board, including O’Connell, who makes Jimmy a terrifyingly malignant yet charismatic force. ” – Arts Fuse Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% EDIT “The film offers a puzzling fata morgana for viewers to closely observe, to attempt to parse what lies beneath the film’s attractive, calm surface.” – Arts Fuse Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “Director Joachim Trier is a masterful arbiter of storytelling conceits and tones: by turns subtle, ironic, melodramatic, cold, and, often, heartbreaking.” – Arts Fuse Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Lure of Ponies: A Spellbound Attic Mystery (2025) EDIT “The unbridled creativity and technical prowess on display here was nothing short of stunning” – Arts Fuse Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Floating Carousel (2025) EDIT “The seemingly disjointed scenarios and characters overlap in fascinating ways.” – Arts Fuse Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Dust to Malibu (2025) EDIT “The strength of this film lies in the excellent performances by the two lead actors, who artfully navigate the intensity of Phil and Jessie’s history during the journey, to finally enter the tender territory of redemption.” – Arts Fuse Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Park Avenue (2025) EDIT “The film is a rich and satisfying viewing experience, thanks to its dynamic visuals (the sets and costumes are a joy) and powerful performances.” – Arts Fuse Oct 29, 2025 Full Review The Ark (2025) EDIT “The Ark is a gripping yet heartwarming documentary.” – Arts Fuse Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “The dialogue is sharp, the visuals alluring, the tone and pacing are engaging. ” – Arts Fuse Oct 28, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% EDIT “The entire production is seamlessly crafted, an outstanding achievement given its relatively small budget. The cast is outstanding, especially Seyfried, in a career-defining performance that is gutsy, intricate, and transcendent.” – Arts Fuse Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Barron's Cove (2024) 63% EDIT “The story offers some intriguing twists and turns, and the excellent cast propels the narrative forward admirably. But the screenplay tries a bit too hard to dramatize character transformations in a short period of time. ” – Arts Fuse Jun 13, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 72% EDIT “The film’s plot, based on the short story of the same name by Owen Marshall, includes a few implausible rough patches. But what compensates for this clumsiness is the film’s absorbing tone, its overarching sense of low-level terror. ” – Arts Fuse Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Millers in Marriage (2024) 53% EDIT “The cast skillfully transcends the leaden screenplay, holding the drama together, if only barely. Kudos to composer Andrea Vanzo for a tensive, beautiful piano score that enhances and elevates the story.” – Arts Fuse Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% EDIT “It’s being touted as an “erotic thriller,” but writer-director Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies) has crafted something complex and timely in a way that goes beyond genre labels.” – Arts Fuse Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% EDIT “Queer is both a cinematic feast and an alluring aperitif that leaves one feeling richly sated yet somehow also wanting more, more.” – Arts Fuse Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% EDIT “True to his masterful ways with casting and character development, Hard Truths is rich and powerful, a hard-hitting commentary on life’s unrelenting challenges, rendered with Leigh’s noteworthy sensitivity and depth.” – Arts Fuse Oct 27, 2024 Full Review The Remarkable Life of Ibelin (2024) 97% EDIT “The Remarkable life of Ibelin is an impressive achievement on many levels: technical, artistic, emotional, and social. It’s a must-see.” – Arts Fuse Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Caligula: The Ultimate Cut (2023) 66% EDIT “After 45 years, this controversial juggernaut of a film has finally arrived, in all its ambitious, hot, messy, gratuitous splendor. Do see it on the big screen if at all possible.” – Arts Fuse Aug 16, 2024 Full Review The Devil's Bath (2024) 91% EDIT “The Devil’s Bath is not a vague arcadian thriller populated by antlered beasts and shadowy legends: this is a flesh-and blood depiction of real life, daily life as a harsh litany of suffering and emptiness for those at the bottom. ” – Arts Fuse Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Film Is Dead. Long Live Film! (2024) EDIT “As thrilling as the stories of rescued footage are, the tales of what has been lost or willfully destroyed are harrowing.” – Arts Fuse May 9, 2024 Full Review Late Night with the Devil (2023) 97% EDIT “Late Night with the Devil considers how the analog media trickery of a bygone era may illuminate our current obsessions with what is real, how art is created, who should be believed and what, ultimately, should be feared.” – Arts Fuse Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Good One (2024) 98% EDIT “This is a well-executed and rather naturalistic story about characters who learn what it means to be in the moment and observe what’s happening.” – Arts Fuse Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Every Little Thing (2024) 95% EDIT “It is a celebration of compassion as an instinct that propels people, at least some of us, to deeds that heal our hearts and inspire the spirits of others.” – Arts Fuse Feb 16, 2024 Full Review A New Kind of Wilderness (2024) 91% EDIT “The artful editing, and the subjects, who are earthy and genuine, ensure a viewing experience that is profoundly moving, beautiful, and insightful, even when it proves painful to watch.” – Arts Fuse Feb 16, 2024 Full Review
