Wuthering Heights (2026) 60% EDIT “Emerald Fennell's illiterate read on the classic novel is offensive and irresponsible.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Lady (2026) 94% EDIT “Olive Nwosu’s lens is so loving and tender; a fantastic debut from a promising filmmaker.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild] (2026) EDIT “A brilliant reminder of how we win by banding together.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review All About the Money (2026) 90% EDIT “A portrait of the distorting power of whiteness, maleness and extreme wealth; All About the Money is devastating in its clarity.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Frank & Louis (2026) 92% EDIT “Hopefully it will inspire empathy in the audience as we grapple with what our government does to incarcerated people in order for us at home to feel a false sense of "safety."” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review TheyDream (2026) EDIT “With this film, Caballero has [brought healing] not only for himself and his family, but for the viewers who need it.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 97% EDIT “With love in my heart and peace to all involved, I’ll never watch it again.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Saccharine (2026) 71% EDIT “The message that no quick fix to weight-loss will heal your soul of fatphobia and disordered eating (cough, ozempic, cough) certainly resonates.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Soul Patrol (2026) 100% EDIT “A complicated portrait of exploited Black men and what mythology is necessary to cope.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Extra Geography (2026) 100% EDIT “The fragilities of girlhood are on full display in Molly Manners’ funny and heartbreaking feature film debut.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% EDIT “Shows us the Renaissance in real time and why, 100 years later, the history and the lessons of the era still resonate and are more urgent than ever.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Kikuyu Land (2026) EDIT “This is the most urgent documentary I saw at Sundance from an incredibly brave journalist in her directorial debut.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) 96% EDIT “Nicholson is magic on the screen, wrestling with what toxic masculinity costs a man and his family; and the sweet-faced Dell in his debut role as Lil Ant will break and heal your heart.” – Black Girl Watching Feb 18, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 76% EDIT “Give up your dream job and return to the site of your trauma, so he knows it’s real. This tired rom-com represents the worst of the genre that reinforces for women that their lives have no meaning or depth unless they commit to a man. ” – Black Girl Watching Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “His franchise simply perpetuates the colonialism, destruction, and counter-revolution that he pretends to critique. And that makes James Cameron his franchise’s own worst enemy and its true villain.” – Black Girl Watching Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “With a script this bad, For Good was doomed from the start, sacrific[ing] character development, story, and...political integrity. It merely gestures at anti-fascism. The lesser evil wins, but it's still evil.” – Black Girl Watching Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Palestine '36 (2025) 100% EDIT “Palestine36 shows not only the birth of the occupation, but also the birth of resistance. When people are occupied, resistance is justified. A gorgeous, sprawling, heartbreaking epic that shows the true history and resilience of a people who will be free.” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% EDIT “Marion County police documented in great detail their own incompetence, their own inadequacies, their ongoing failures. If it doesn’t stir us to abolition then it’s just another in a long list of bodycam snuff videos of Black life and who does that serve?” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “Grace potentially hooking up with a Black Peeping Tom in the woods as evidence of her descent into breakdown is prob-lem-a-tic! for a plethora of the age-old racist stereotypes showcased in the film that gave rise to the KKK, The Birth of a Nation. ” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “An exploration of generational mother-daughter wounds with palpable rage, grief and resentment. But "why is this character Black and what does this mean for the story?" is a series of questions I’d like more writer/directors to ponder in development. ” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “There are concepts of a good movie in here and Roberts and Garfield are particularly great, but After the Hunt does not earn its runtime and the coda of the film is a disaster that only exists to fulfill the promise of the title. ” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 39% EDIT “Opus is just digital tape and runtime. It’s not particularly scary or interesting, it offers nothing new to say about cults, or vanity journalism as a tool for propaganda, and worse, it says that nothing in an uncompelling way.” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Master (2022) 75% EDIT “Master doesn’t stick the landing, but it is a good warning for those who believe ascending to the heights of these anti-Black institutions (that were literally built on slavery) will be worth what it costs of your humanity to climb. ” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “It’s maybe an allegory for addiction; Zach Cregger has talked about being the child of an alcoholic but said "the alcoholic metaphor is not important to me.” I can tell. It’s a horror-comedy about a witch who feeds on children. We should leave it at that.” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review The Skeleton Key (2005) 38% EDIT “The worst horror movie I’ve ever seen. Kate Hudson, you are going to jail! Ehren Kruger won a Razzie for Worst Screenplay for the wrong movie. The Skeleton Key is so devious and underhanded in its anti-Blackness and it should haunt Kruger forever.” – Black Girl Watching Oct 28, 2025 Full Review
