Young Mothers (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Another is the dignity that the filmmakers allow these young women, even when they make the bad choices one would expect from hormonally challenged teenage girls. Never judgmental and deeply moving, this lean Dardenne drama wields a big impact.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Haunting images layer the past and the present over the course of the film, making quiet connections that transport the audience to other worlds and times and, ultimately, to mortality. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 23% 3/5 EDIT “It’s sleuthing by scrolling, with a life hanging in the balance. Pratt handles the role well enough, and it’s a tense ride. You just hope it doesn’t come to this in real life. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Suspenseful, entertaining and swift, the hostage caper revels in the 1970s Indianapolis setting, recalling the 1975 classic Dog Day Afternoon.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 17, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Is part two of last year’s 28 Years Later -- where a rage virus infects and torments the world -- gross? You betcha. It’s also witty and propulsive. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 17, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 5/5 EDIT “Auteuil and Foster have mad exes-turned-lovers chemistry as, together, they pursue the murderer while producing a delicious and cerebral mystery that doesn’t need big explosions to have a big emotional impact. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 17, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Amanda Seyfried has the integrity, charisma and pipes to carry the central role of messiah... But for those who admire the sect’s spare, spiritual music, composer Daniel Blumberg’s score is way too busy.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Magellan (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Gael García Bernal fully inhabits the titular conquistador in a performance both present and potent, on a quest that began with optimism but ended in dire straits. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Imogen Poots creates a stunning portrayal of the swimming prodigy who front-crawls her way out of the gutter... The film’s central flaw, not unlike that of some swimmers, is that it slows to a bit of a slog.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 3/5 EDIT “The Plague is well-acted, claustrophobic and such a very sad statement about how young boys on the cusp of puberty prey on the weak.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 2, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Too many Americans can relate to the crippling gut-punch of a job loss, with the ripple effects that threaten the bonds of family and shatter their social position. No Other Choice pushes the trauma one step further.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% EDIT “Wry, emotional and off-kilter, Father Mother Sister Brother is the antithesis of a Hallmark Christmas movie, and so much the better for it.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “The pair wallow in an overabundance of dramatic turns that pile up like a tonal train wreck. Still, for “Forever in Blue Jeans” lovers, this is the sing-along, cry-along movie for you.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “It's weighed down by a hefty 149-minute running time more suitable for Apocalypse Now.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 3/5 EDIT “The ageless music is sublime, beautifully sung by trained vocalists (not actors lip-synching), but the movie itself is musty, like a forgotten Christmas present stashed in a closet only to be unwrapped years later.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “There’s wisdom here, and laughs, and hope for redemption for an ordinary guy who blazes his own path out of midlife emotional quicksand. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 20, 2025 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Grief is an individual journey, but it's possible to see the universal agony of mourning a parent in this very specific, well-acted, intelligent tale of loss and recovery.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “With minimal emotional traction but amazing visuals, they all spin toward a final teeth-rattling battle where, yes, good prevails over evil.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Goodbye June brought me to tears by releasing pent-up emotions on the screen and in my heart.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 3/5 EDIT “There are bright moments and some laughs, and the ever-brilliant Albert Brooks shines despite a truncated role. But the whole effort, alas, is overstuffed and undercooked.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Mikkelsen, who has made many off-kilter Danish comedies as well as award-winning dramas, and has terrific comic timing, is fabulous connecting with his young costar, charming the audience while performing stunts that would impress Jackie Chan.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Liu, in a challenging, unvarnished part far from her more polished characters in Charlie’s Angels or TV’s Elementary, does some of her best work, making a large impact on a smaller canvas. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “There are twists, turns and ridiculous faux pas in a congenially entertaining riff on the series’ more ridiculous aspects, delivered without spite but with love and a wink. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “With sensational Irish actors Buckley and Mescal and a dynamic script, the message here is that tragedy can be transmuted into art and touch theaters full of strangers as well as the individuals directly involved.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 4/5 EDIT “Absolutely delightful as a villainous diamond heiress is Rosamund Pike with a wicked South African accent and a twinkle in her jaded eye. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Nov 17, 2025 Full Review
