The Captive (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Despite being two hours and fifteen minutes long, you never feel the length. There’s so much happening, so many characters, so many political machinations within the prison and palace walls, it’s a feast for the senses that never slows down.

Eleanor the Great (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Johansson has delivered an excellent film that will touch the heartstrings of many people watching. The performances are stellar across the board, and the depth of emotion this film will evoke, will have you calling all your loved ones.

4/5
Black Phone 2 (2025) Maxance Vincent Black Phone 2, being as funny as it is, was also not on my bingo card. Yet, making it less physiologically punishing for the protagonists and more entertaining for the audience is also why the sequel works as well as it does.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Maxance Vincent With If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Mary Bronstein represents the Hell of living in such a stark way that all you want to do is hug Linda and hope she will find the most joyful parts of being human again.

Hedda (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) This version will resonate with people of any race or sexuality, but it is particularly exciting for queer communities of colour to be represented in this film. Hedda is a gorgeous, rich text, so multi-layered with incredibly nuanced performances.

Eternity (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Forget the love triangle, the way the film builds out the bureaucratic afterlife, the sets and costumes, the sheer splendor and think piece that this film is, that’s what makes it worth watching. If only we hadn’t spent so much time on the romance.

Bouchra (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) I sincerely hope that Bouchra gets a wide release somehow. Not only is the film beautiful to look at, a feat of animation, and a triumph of complex storytelling, but it’s also a story of queer acceptance that is needed around the world today.

1.5/5
The Lost Bus (2025) Maxance Vincent It’s a real-life horror story transformed into pure action movie entertainment, where the disaster is not depicted as a monstrous force caused by human negligence, but in the vein of a Universal Studios interactive theme park ride.

Hamlet (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Despite reading and watching Hamlet before, this 2025 version proved to be so unique in its sensibilities, its execution, its acting, and the direction of its story. This might just be the definitive Hamlet for me for a good long while.

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) Maxance Vincent The Strangers – Chapter 2 is 2025's worst film. Embarrassing in all conceivable aspects, Renny Harlin somehow makes an even worse installment than the already terrible first chapter.

1/5
HIM (2025) Maxance Vincent While HIM contains an outstanding performance from Marlon Wayans, the rest of the movie includes some of the year's emptiest images, utterly devoid of any significance and thematic intrigue.

Dead Man's Wire (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Dead Man’s Wire is a riveting ride from start to finish. Every scene reveals tantalizing details that keep you hooked. The combination of nuanced writing and a clear vision for the direction make this film unmissable. The performances are subtle and real.

California Schemin' (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) There’s an almost old-school, '90s-esque quality to California Schemin’ that I absolutely loved. This film is so well-paced... Every scene started and ended at precisely the right moment, at the very height of tension.
Posted Sep 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Steve (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) The charm of the cast, Murphy and Lycurgo’s incredible performances, and the immersiveness of that first half, are more than enough reason to park yourself in front of this film whenever you get a chance to see it.
Posted Sep 14, 2025  Edit critic review
The Man in My Basement (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) The Man in My Basement has an unusual concept... But this needed to be a psychological thriller through and through, not a horror film. Despite strong performances and plot twists, the film never manages to transcend its horror roots.

4.5/5
Caught Stealing (2025) Maxance Vincent The constant mayhem of its loudest sequences and relentless carnage ensures we’re always glued to the screen at every occasion, even when Aronofsky bathes in excessive, almost cartoonish violence, worthy of Lau Kar-leung and Corey Yuen.

4/5
Elio (2025) Maxance Vincent You'll come out of Elio pleasantly surprised – and moved – by the impeccable visual storytelling on display, and an earnest emotional center.

5/5
The Life of Chuck (2024) Maxance Vincent It’s as far removed as possible from anything Flanagan has previously done in both film and television, but one can notice his sensibilities at every turn, notably how he fills each frame with as much tangible atmosphere as possible.

1.5/5
STRAW (2025) Maxance Vincent The twist concludes the movie with a bad taste in our mouth, and a realization that Perry will never be able to make art that will stand the test of time if he doesn’t treat serious subject matters like the ones he deals with in Straw with respect.

3.5/5
Shadow Force (2025) Maxance Vincent The slow and genuinely emotional sequences are at the heart of what makes Shadow Force ultimately work, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Sy’s effervescent on-screen charm and Washington’s towering dramatic intensity.

2/5
The Surfer (2024) Maxance Vincent Cage tries his best to salvage as much as possible from a project that exploits his talents well but doesn’t give him as much to work with as some of his best efforts.

4/5
Havoc (2025) Maxance Vincent A relentless opera of carnage that’s simultaneously cathartic in its adrenaline-fueled bloody violence that grows cartoonishly over-the-top, and artful in its poetry of slow-motion and precise, balletic movements that are plucked straight out of John Woo.
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Amateur (2025) Maxance Vincent Bursts of intensity lead to some well-choreographed and edited hand-to-hand combat sequences, which undoubtedly recall Paul Greengrass’s approach in capturing action with The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.

4.5/5
Freaky Tales (2024) Maxance Vincent You'll be immediately won over by its ultra-creative stylistic permutations, self-aware performances, and intelligently constructed stories that constantly communicate with itself, both to the audience and the characters.

3/5
The Life List (2025) Maxance Vincent The bulk of The Life List is filled with repetitive platitudes, especially when we can see the telegraphed emotional beats coming a mile away.

0/5
Tyler Perry's Duplicity (2025) Maxance Vincent Perry's intentions might have been well-positioned for some time, until a Giallo-esque red herring makes its final reveal during the movie’s climax and derails any goodwill he had when he slowly introduced audiences to Duplicity’s central conflict.

3.5/5
The Gorge (2025) Maxance Vincent Scott Derrickson elevates The Gorge through its artful visuals and a thrilling techno-heavy score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, even if its storytelling frequently stumbles throughout its 128-minute runtime.

3/5
Companion (2025) Maxance Vincent As solidly made as Companion may be, it just doesn’t have the same juice—or freshness—that Cregger brought to the table [with Barbarian], no matter how many directions this 97-minute comedy takes.

4/5
Dog Man (2025) Maxance Vincent Dog Man is easily one of the smartest animated films from a major motion picture studio you’ll see in a long time, and one that will hopefully capture the attention of both young and old viewers.

1.5/5
Flight Risk (2025) Maxance Vincent For a good chunk of [Flight Risk's] lean 91-minute runtime, no frame feels like Mel Gibson directed it, but rather a journeyman who kowtows to the studio’s demands with little to no personal flair behind the camera.

Presence (2024) Maxance Vincent Presence is an engrossing and immersive piece of work.

The Last Showgirl (2024) Maxance Vincent Shelly is Pamela Anderson. It’s who she always was and what she always wanted to showcase. Now, the spotlight is hers, and hers only.

The Six Triple Eight (2024) Maxance Vincent The Six Triple Eight succeeds, even with some glaring issues, in giving respect to the only Black women's battalion of World War II, who overcame all adversity with one guiding force: hope.

5/5
Queer (2024) Maxance Vincent Queer as another daring work of art from Guadagnino, but it may be his most psychologically challenging film yet. It may also be the decade’s best queer film, representing an unsatiable sense of desire and lust unlike few filmmakers ever captured.

1.5/5
Moana 2 (2024) Maxance Vincent It almost feels criminal that [Auli'i Cravalho] doesn’t have enough great material to work with, either in its practically non-existent story or through its remarkably unmemorable songs that pale in comparison to Lin-Manuel’s work.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) The film is full of heart and has some excellent character moments. Coupled with memorable set designs and great special effects, this is a superhero film that is going to bring people much joy on the road to Doomsday.

I Am Raquel Welch (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Older film buffs will certainly take a lot away from I Am Raquel Welch, not just about an incredible career but a hard-working woman who never stopped. Younger audiences might find the documentary a little less accessible if they don’t know who Welch is.

A Nice Indian Boy (2024) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Whether you love rom-coms or are looking for a feel-good film that’ll make you think, A Nice Indian Boy is exactly what we need in the midst of all the chaos in the world. What a joyous celebration of love, family, and the enduring romance of cinema.

The Wedding Banquet (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) In 2025, when gay marriage is legal in many parts of the world, the stakes just don’t seem high enough. Hence, the convoluted plots. Which only get more complicated as the film wears on.

Ai Weiwei's Turandot (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Whether or not you have any interest in the opera or in Weiwei’s activism and artistry, you need Ai Weiwei’s Turandot to remind you to be loud, make art, and be political. Because art is politics, and art is necessary.

#skoden (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) #skoden is a stark reminder of the very real people that the world forgets because they don’t conform to society’s expectations... Hopefully, that is the message that people in power will take from watching this documentary.

Thunderbolts* (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Thunderbolts* is an enjoyable romp. It’s got all the humor and the characters banter with each other relentlessly. Which is great because the comedic timing of the cast is out of this world... You will fall out of your chair laughing.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) For all the diversity and the beauty of the locations, every scene was so painfully similar, down to the musical beats, the camera angles, and the dialogue delivery, that I ached for something new.
