While not exactly a return to form, Gregg Araki’s first feature in a dozen years is nonetheless a welcome comeback.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
(2025)
|
Siddhant Adlakha
|
At the end of the day, Deliver Me From Nowhere is a film worth looking at and observing from the same distance that Cooper frames his impenetrable version of Springsteen... but the camera seldom looks past the pristine surfaces it creates.

Dracula
(2025)
|
Siddhant Adlakha
|
The garish excess of generative A.I. receives a fittingly excessive dressing down in Radu Jude’s Dracula, a self-reflexive comedy that skirts ethical lines with a purpose.

Jarmusch knows just when and how to hold on moments long enough to imbue them with warmth, bittersweetness and a touch of dramatic irony.

Is This Thing On?
(2025)
|
Siddhant Adlakha
|
The actor-director is three-for-three when it comes to films about art and artistry that just come up short, while displaying enough thoughtful flourishes to convince you he'll create a masterpiece down the line. Sadly, today is not that day.

Blue Heron
(2025)

Siddhant Adlakha

It’s a film that seldom comes out and tells you exactly what’s happening, but its drama is so lucid that before any real tragedy unfolds (or is even hinted at), you feel it in your bones.

The Blue Trail
(2025)

Siddhant Adlakha

The gentle sci-fi drama presents a vivid and detailed world whose murkiest elements are often left to innuendos and the imagination (but feel no less threatening). The result is a uniquely life-affirming coming of (old) age saga.

Franz

Siddhant Adlakha

Ambitious to a fault, Kafka biopic Franz is as much about the landmark Czech surrealist as it is about its own making, as a commercialized re-telling of a life cut tragically short.

Megadoc

It’s hard not to wonder if Megadoc is the right film to answer any burning questions, given its own troubles—which become a minor subject too, as Figgis is left with no choice but to turn the lens on himself.

Songs of Forgotten Trees

The movie’s thematic conclusions are a little wordier (and more obvious) than is necessary... But Roy’s abundance of caution may stem from her not realizing what an astute visual dramatist she already is.

After the Hunt
(2025)
|
Siddhant Adlakha

The star-studded After the Hunt has a lot on its mind about human complexities, but largely expresses these notions in didactic form and through dramatic conflict that all but resolves itself halfway through the movie’s languid 2 hours and 18 minutes.

Make Me Famous
(2021)

Noah Berlatsky

Make Me Famous is a sad film because Brezinski wanted to be famous and was not. It’s an enraging film because it shows the extent to which we devalue and despise the arts and all the non-famous people who create them.
