In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Nick Schager A far cry from [Stanton’s] Pixar gems Finding Nemo and WALL-E, both of which have infinitely more to say about the human condition than this schematic and bathetic bowl of chicken soup for the soul.

The Weight (2026) Nick Schager Electrifying a taut tale of tough times and the desperate men they breed, [Hawke] makes sure that, even when it could stand to be a tad weightier, this genre film packs a wallop.

Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) Nick Schager A stirring testament to both [Rushdie's] resilience and to freedom as a vital bulwark against the forces of extremism and evil.

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) Nick Schager There’s not much to latch onto here except the faint flickers of the better film this one, with more care and attention to detail, might have been.

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Nick Schager Never quite as funny as it wants to be, but making up for that in the violence department, it’s a healthy serving of slam-bang cinematic comfort food.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Gallerist (2026) Nick Schager An irredeemably obvious and one-note affair that says everything in its first 10 minutes and spends the remainder of its time vainly trying to drum up humor from a wan Weekend at Bernie’s-esque scenario.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
undertone (2025) Nick Schager A medley of fears, anxieties, and regrets that repeatedly messes with the senses, it exists at the nexus of sanity and madness, life and death, Heaven and Hell, and sound and image.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Invite (2026) Nick Schager A hysterical, insightful, and ultimately moving portrait of the difficulties of keeping long-term relationships alive.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Union County (2026) Nick Schager Follows festival tradition by featuring a stellar breakthrough performance from a well-known actor—in this case, Will Poulter’s sterling turn as a junkie caught in a prison of his own making.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
The Shitheads (2026) Nick Schager A delightful film about the dim-witted and the disreputable. And though its humor ultimately wanes, it compensates with a surprising measure of tenderness.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
I Want Your Sex (2026) Nick Schager Consistently funny and erotic, if ultimately a bit too straightlaced for the incendiary subject matter at hand.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
Josephine (2026) Nick Schager This intensely empathetic film—co-starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan—has a tendency to tip into strident affectation. But thanks to newcomer Reeves, it still lands more than its fair share of punches.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Nick Schager May have things to say, but doesn’t have a clue how to say them.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Buddy (2026) Nick Schager A horror-comedy that takes a scalpel—or, more accurately, several weapons—to its jaunty protagonist, all while reveling in his darkly disturbed spirit.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
The History of Concrete (2026) Nick Schager With his maiden cinematic venture, Wilson doesn’t break new ground so much as continue his idiosyncratic artistry on a larger scale.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
The Incomer (2026) Nick Schager A winningly weird comedy—premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival—about isolation and community.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Mercy (2026) Nick Schager Designed in every way to make one bleary eyed, it’s the new year’s dreariest, and goofiest, film.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
The Rip (2026) Nick Schager A rugged affair that’s canny and concussive enough to compensate for a somewhat deflating ending, it proves that its headliners remain cinema’s preeminent BFF duo.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Nick Schager As the fourth entry in a long-running franchise (written, like its ancestors, by Alex Garland), it is, to borrow a phrase uttered by its protagonist, “miraculous”—and marks this zombie saga as a nightmare with few equals.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Young Mothers (2025) Nick Schager Understated, graceful, and moving, it’s the first great film of 2026.
Posted Jan 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Nick Schager A sturdy continuation of this cataclysmic big-screen series, whose large-scale set pieces are rooted in the fear, anguish, and compassion of its appealing main characters.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
The Plague (2025) Nick Schager Taut and entrancing, it’s a stark reminder that adolescence sucks.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
The Choral (2025) Nick Schager A typical provincial British tale about everyday Englishmen and women banding together to accomplish a controversial task against long odds, it’s akin to a warm glass of milk.
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Song Sung Blue (2025) Nick Schager Yanking unashamedly at the heartstrings, however, it’s a manipulative and uneven tune that strains to elicit the sniffles it so hungrily seeks.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Goodbye June (2025) Nick Schager A movie manufactured to tug at the heartstrings. That it does so this gracefully and movingly is a testament to Winslet’s understated stewardship and a script by her son, Joe Anders, whose manipulations are as gentle as they are affecting.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The Housemaid (2025) Nick Schager Proves a deliriously amusing vehicle for both glamorous, charismatic actresses. It won’t win Sweeney or Seyfried any prizes, but it’s the sort of hysterical thriller that, in the ’80s and ’90s, was a theatrical staple.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Nick Schager To a greater extent than its franchise mates, Avatar: Fire and Ash is drunk on its own extravagance, unaware that it’s offering up nothing new that might justify its absurd Sturm und Drang.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Resurrection (2025) Nick Schager A tour-de-force of unbound creativity, its silky staging, enchanting performances, and playful inventiveness combining to make it one of the year’s undisputed big-screen highlights.
Posted Dec 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Ella McCay (2025) Nick Schager Its phoniness epitomized by Emma Mackey’s lead turn, it’s the biggest dud of the artist’s career, and the holiday season’s most egregious misfire.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Influencers (2025) Nick Schager A taut, tense, of-the-moment thriller with real (reel?) bite.
Posted Dec 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) Nick Schager Strap in, hold on, and succumb to this ecstatically inventive one-of-a-kind film.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Man Finds Tape (2025) Nick Schager An assured directorial debut about media reliability that unnerves by embracing the unknown.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Fackham Hall (2025) Jordan Hoffman [A] great deal of discipline and care went into this movie.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Nick Schager [Its] sole imperative appears to be boring its audience to death.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
The Chronology of Water (2025) Nick Schager With star Imogen Poots vividly capturing the roiling contradictions born from her character’s crises, it’s a raw, rugged wound of a film.
Posted Dec 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Oh. What. Fun. (2025) Nick Schager The charismatic Pfeiffer deserves much, much better than this soggy stocking stuffer.
Posted Dec 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Marty Supreme (2025) Nick Schager A breakneck rollercoaster—about ping pong!—infused with a manic desperation that’s almost as electric as its athletic centerpieces are taut.
Posted Dec 01, 2025  Edit critic review
The Great Escaper (2023) Nick Schager If its melodrama is unabashedly manipulative, it’s not altogether ineffective at eliciting waterworks.
Posted Nov 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Nick Schager Grindhousers don’t come much funnier, crazier, and more grindhouse-y than this.
Posted Nov 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Left-Handed Girl (2025) Jordan Hoffman Splendid and glowing
Posted Nov 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Are We Good? (2025) Jeff Slate 'Are We Good?' is a remarkable portrait of a tortured artist who is able to make sense of unthinkable loss during unprecedented times.
Posted Nov 14, 2025  Edit critic review
The Running Man (2025) Nick Schager Largely faithful but unwilling to pick a funny or nasty lane, it’s the most impersonal film of its writer/director’s career, and a revolutionary thriller that too often falls back on establishment conventions.
Posted Nov 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Nick Schager Its most impressive feat, however, is finding a way to somehow be even duller than its predecessors.
Posted Nov 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Nuremberg (2025) Nick Schager Undone by storytelling that, however well-intentioned, coats its real-life tale in a corny Hollywood sheen.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Peter Hujar's Day (2025) Nick Schager A film about the unremarkable that’s anything but.
Posted Nov 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Sentimental Value (2025) Nick Schager A story about home, inheritance, and fiction’s ability to reveal truths capable of bringing alienated individuals together, it’s a tumultuous, moving triumph.
Posted Nov 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Predator: Badlands (2025) Nick Schager The series’ second-best installment and a rousing start to what appears to be a grand new franchise future.
Posted Nov 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Die My Love (2025) Nick Schager With an uninhibited fieriness that’s rooted in profound need and longing, Lawrence—opposite a beleaguered Robert Pattinson—delivers one the finest performances of her career, energizing the writer/director’s portrait of feminine rage, sorrow, and mania.
Posted Nov 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Nick Schager A raucous mélange of the demented and the degrading, indulging in the very garish, grotesque, X-rated madness it condemns.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Saturday Night (2024) Chris Feil Though far from the countercultural experiment it tries to convince us the show initially was, Saturday Night returns Reitman to comedic good graces–even if this broad scale limits him from achieving the precise characterization of his best work.
