Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) Kevin L. Lee The crazy part is that even with all the noise and bloated subplots – a main one involves Gail and company being pursued by a mob – it’s remarkable to see how "committed to the bit" the film is.

See You When I See You (2026) Martin Tsai See You When I See You is not without feeling, but it is reluctant to linger in messiness, to let scenes run long enough to discover something unplanned.

A
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Martin Tsai On paper, In the Blink of an Eye reads as forbiddingly ambitious, a piece of high-concept science fiction that risks crumbling under the weight of its own ideas. Stanton, however, has a long history of coaxing intimacy out of enormity.

Wicker (2026) Karen M. Peterson [Olivia] Colman is great in dignified and serious roles, but it’s so much fun when she doffs the suits and posh British manners in favor of unrefined, unrestrained humor.

The Invite (2026) Karen M. Peterson The most remarkable thing about The Invite is not the films it is like, but in the way we are invited to be part of something special, thoughtful, and refreshingly hopeful.

Send Help (2026) Jay Ledbetter Send Help is not in the upper-tier of Raimi’s work, but it’s hard not to love seeing him back where he belongs: making graphic, hilarious movies with morally ambiguous characters.

The Gallerist (2026) Karen M. Peterson The Gallerist has so many big ideas and juggles them all like a skillfully choreographed routine...as Andy Warhol said in a quote that opens the film, "Art is what you can get away with," and Cathy Yan can get away with quite a lot.

Saccharine (2026) Kevin L. Lee What do you get when you mix generational trauma and health wellness and sexual identity and ghosts and cadavers and diet culture and binge eating all in a blender?

I Want Your Sex (2026) Karen M. Peterson [Cooper] Hoffman has already proven himself a talented actor, but his work in I Want Your Sex is his most brazen, fearless performance so far.

B
The Moment (2026) Martin Tsai In an era when music documentaries increasingly function as deluxe extensions of public relations campaigns, The Moment is notable for its refusal to mythologize its subject. It plays less like a victory lap than a confession...

Return to Silent Hill (2026) Trace Sauveur Return to Silent Hill never captures the smothering, oppressive dread of the game, mainly because it’s a property with a premise built on immersion.

B
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Trace Sauveur If the film is missing the remarkable visual artistry of the first film, from which it also alters its narrative focus, it provides a welcome, heavy emphasis on Fiennes, who gives a curious, soulful performance.

D
The Housemaid (2025) Karen M. Peterson For a movie that could have been an entertaining, twisty thriller, it winds up being laughable and eye-rolling instead.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Kevin L. Lee Fire and Ash is the biggest, heaviest, most epic Avatar film to date. Cameron continues to take big swings at his material, while opening up his world to even more possibilities for future stories.

Ella McCay (2025) Cody Dericks Despite the intentionally absent details (we aren’t even definitively told what political party Ella belongs to), Ella McCay – both the film and the character – is delightful, at times mystifyingly so.

A-
Marty Supreme (2025) Sophia Ciminello What’s exciting about watching Chalamet in Marty Supreme is that he’s finally able to play a New Yorker, never making the character’s over-the-top theatrics feel like loud moments of over-acting. You can feel him itching to create his own take on Pacino.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Trace Sauveur Zootopia 2 has an endearingly zippy energy and refuses to sink to the rock-bottom depths of mindless children’s entertainment, making it refreshingly watchable for adults.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Sophia Ciminello Despite stellar work from Erivo and Grande, Wicked: For Good can’t justify its existence as its own separate outing.

C+
The Running Man (2025) Jay Ledbetter It's a testament to Edgar Wright that The Running Man feels like a little bit of a letdown, as it never bores and has ideas on its mind, which is more than most movies can say

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Trace Sauveur More than anything else, it always feels like these characters can get away with anything, nullifying any excitement or stakes, because ultimately they’re just putting on a charade for astoundingly oblivious people.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Karen M. Peterson When it works, one of the great things about Song Sung Blue is the compassion and realism with which it treats the lower middle class of America’s heartland.

Palestine 36 (2025) Cody Dericks Although it’s understandable that Jacir would want to cover as much ground as possible when telling the story of such a wide-ranging, complicated event, the film isn’t structured in a way that builds energy in a captivating way.

Whitetail (2025) Cody Dericks [Natasha] O’Keeffe really is that great, giving a physical performance that does a better job at providing the film with depth than the shockingly shallow spoken words.

Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (2025) Cody Dericks It just may stand as one of the most important films about the Gaza genocide, showcasing the bravery and perseverence of the Palestinian people even as they face undeniably mightier forces.

Regretting You (2025) Daniel Bayer The only thing Regretting You is missing is a good case of amnesia, but perhaps that’s on the audience to provide for themselves, considering the amounts of liquor needed to survive this film.

Black Phone 2 (2025) Cody Dericks It’s pretty clear the story is the result of forced “we need to make a sequel” brainstorming sessions following the success of the previous film.

Is This Thing On? (2025) Brandon Lewis With this film, Cooper expands the limits of his oeuvre, proving that he’s equally capable playing the minor keys as he is the major ones. Arnett [gives] a stunning, perhaps all-time great dramedy performance."

Shelby Oaks (2023) Cody Dericks Shelby Oaks signals a promising start for Stuckmann’s directorial career. As shown by this film, his horror filmmaking instincts are finely tuned.

Late Fame (2026) Erik Anderson Samy Burch’s script skewers New York ne’er-do-wells and wannabe artists, rich kid poseurs and more, perfectly embodied by Edmund Donovan and his band of merry men.

Peter Hujar's Day (2025) Erik Anderson There’s something unique about watching a film or a play that’s essentially just two people talking in a room. At first, you feel like a voyeur, like you’re not supposed to be there.

TRON: Ares (2025) Trace Sauveur Tron will always have its dazzling baubles to ooh and aah at, but at the end of the day, Ares feels much like the AI tech companies keep insisting on shoving down our throats: technically impressive, but also frivolous and empty.

Sk+te'kmujue'katik (At The Place of Ghosts) (2025) Matthew St. Clair As much as it has a less focused narrative scope than their last film, At the Place of Ghosts still proves Bretten Hannam to be a skilled storyteller and a filmmaker to continue keeping an eye on.

Anemone (2025) Sophia Ciminello Anemone unspools the complexities of the relationships between brothers as each man confronts the ghosts of his past. But perhaps just as importantly, it illustrates the ties between fathers and sons and how their collective history can bind them.

Bad Apples (2025) Nick Ruhrkraut Bad Apples is a knockout because of its audacity to be so outlandish, leaving you with a sense that maybe we all are rotten right to the core.

One Battle After Another (2025) Sophia Ciminello Creating characters who manage to pull through no matter their circumstances is one of Anderson’s many specialties, but here he seems to evolve that into something more personal.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Trace Sauveur ...with its Sundance-core ambience of hip cuteness and cursory inspirational philosophizing, the best analogy for the film may be that it’s like if Charlie Kaufman were the Daniels.

Normal (2025) Nick Ruhrkraut Odenkirk is the enthralling centerpiece of this overpromising flick, perfectly cast to deliver his signature dry wit alongside violent punches.

Poetic License (2025) Sophia Ciminello While Apatow’s delightful directorial debut, Poetic License, isn’t inspired by the events in her own life, it’s clear that she’s been an observer, too, and a lifelong student of situational comedy.

Scarlet (2025) Kevin L. Lee It’s a little rough on its pacing and the thematic message is certainly idealistic to a fault. But it’s also an awe-inspiring fantasy that transcends time and space, life and death, and everything in between.

The President's Cake (2025) Reuben Baron The President’s Cake never gets preachy with its themes, instead sharing its political anger with the viewer through our empathy for its characters.

The Captive (2025) J. Don Birnam This is a layered cinematic experience that both entertains and provokes, encouraging audiences to reconsider the line between historical truth and artistic invention—and whether these mundane distinctions even matter.

It Was Just an Accident (2025) J. Don Birnam Panahi explores tried but true philosophies of righteousness and morality. None of it is particularly new or even that insightful, but it is so timely in 2025, and told in such a different manner, that it is stunningly effective

Tuner (2025) J. Don Birnam The filmmakers behind this project take the conception of fine-tuning way too far when it comes to the film’s script and story, with the end result a product that is so tightly wound it ends up sounding entirely off key.

Hedda (2025) Sophia Ciminello In the ongoing tête-à-tête between Hedda and Eileen, [Tessa]Thompson and [Nina] Hoss display a magnetism and a chemistry that is so palpable, it’s difficult to envision the story in its standard form.

The Lost Bus (2025) Ryan McQuade The Lost Bus is a complete disaster in not just the events we see on screen, but in almost every aspect as a film.

Train Dreams (2025) J. Don Birnam Through very simple, mundane moments, Train Dreams portrays an encyclopedic understanding of life. A song sang next to a fire, an encounter with a fugitive, a sleepy afternoon by a meadow.

C
Driver's Ed (2025) Kevin L. Lee Driver’s Ed is exactly what you would expect from a Bobby Farrelly teenage comedy — awkward, weird, unfunny, and shockingly tame despite all the swearing, all wrapped around a cozy-looking East Coast aesthetic.
