Variations on a Theme (2026) EDIT “The film belongs to Farmer, Jacobs’ own grandmother, who gives Hettie an unfussy sturdiness of mien and spirit to counter the growing, sighing frailty of her person, and a steady, narrow stare that occasionally seems to see through time..” – Variety Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% EDIT “Brashly violent, clattery and pleasingly untied to any direct predecessor, the result is more generic than its braggy auteur claims might promise, but there’s a lot here for gorehounds to feast on.” – Variety Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Balls Up (2026) 28% EDIT “A mostly pretty innocuous affair, it’s neither good nor bad to any memorable degree, not as riotous as it could have been but not devoid of low-hanging laughs either. It is, in other words, a down-the-middle streaming comedy.” – Variety Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 28% EDIT “It’s hard to imagine this mumbling, shambling man holding multiplex masses in his thrall. As such, he’s a poignant void, but a void nonetheless, and even at a slim 84 minutes, Hill’s doleful film can’t keep us interested in his plight.” – Variety Apr 14, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% EDIT “At nearly every turn, this duly sun-soaked but canned-feeling exercise serves to illustrate just how hard it is to pull off an airy bauble like “Under the Tuscan Sun” or “While You Were Sleeping.”” – Variety Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Peril at Pincer Point (2026) EDIT “Either a satire or a celebration of independent filmmaking at its most impractically intrepid, this microbudget curio wears a hotchpotch of influences on its stained, frayed sleeve, but still maintains its own perverse, peculiar voice.” – Variety Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 93% EDIT “It’s a little disappointing that “Mr. Burton” remains so coy around Philip’s inner life and yearnings, though Jones’s graceful, precise performance in nuanced in its unspoken implications.” – Variety Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Pizza Movie (2026) 78% EDIT ““Pizza Movie” is disposable, practically by design, but it may have happened upon a comic duo worth reteaming.” – Variety Mar 14, 2026 Full Review The Education of Jane Cumming (2026) EDIT “The result is easily the most satisfying screen outing yet for this story material: a classically well-made and affectingly performed period drama.” – Variety Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Flies (2026) EDIT “If “Flies” is familiar in many senses, it’s too warmly and honestly felt to feel formulaic, and while its young lead Bastian Escobar is winsome as can be, the film is colored by a deeper melancholy that staves off cutesiness.” – Variety Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% EDIT ““The Immortal Man” serves as a handsome reminder of what always felt quite cinematic about the series -- both in its beefy-but-pulpy storytelling and its robust, well-patinated production values.” – Variety Mar 5, 2026 Full Review An American Pastoral (2024) 100% EDIT “Edler’s calmly watchful film trusts in viewers to see the national forest for the trees.” – Variety Feb 26, 2026 Full Review A Child of My Own (2026) EDIT “As the film works toward a concluding note of uplift that brings as many questions as answers, one wonders if a straighter documentary telling would be more rewarding.” – Variety Feb 23, 2026 Full Review The Blood Countess (2026) 82% EDIT “It’s more or less a one-joke enterprise -- but when said joke is casting a maximally domineering Isabelle Huppert as a hungry, horny, haute couture-inclined incarnation of Báthory, there’s a devoted audience for whom it will go very far indeed.” – Variety Feb 19, 2026 Full Review We Are All Strangers (2026) 91% EDIT “The film is consistently involving and finally moving, sparked especially by Chen regular Yeo Yann Yann’s wonderful performance as an immigrant outsider in this family and society alike.” – Variety Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Nina Roza (2026) 80% EDIT “A film of many subtle, tricky marvels, Geneviève Dulude-De Celles‘s slowly bewitching “Nina Roza” comes closer than many to conveying that strange, imprecise separation of the soul.” – Variety Feb 17, 2026 Full Review At the Sea (2026) 33% EDIT “A drab and laborious recovery drama with a mystifying amount of major-league talent behind it.” – Variety Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Rose (2026) 100% EDIT “For all the Olympian acting craft it showcases, “Rose” is no mere performance vehicle.. It’s a work so tightly disciplined in every aspect that any bum thespian note would shatter the whole immaculate construction.” – Variety Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Rosebush Pruning (2026) 27% EDIT “Does “Rosebush Pruning” lose some perspective in all this dazzle? Perhaps. But if you’re going to eat the rich, the film reasons, they may as well be delicious.” – Variety Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Dao (2026) 90% EDIT “Though its supersized scale and meandering narrative structure may deter less adventurous arthouse distributors, [Alain] Gomis’s latest work nonetheless feels like his most vibrantly expansive and accessible.” – Variety Feb 14, 2026 Full Review A Prayer for the Dying (2026) EDIT “It’s an imposing, ascetic debut, braced by performances of formidable grit and commitment from Johnny Flynn and John C. Reilly.” – Variety Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) 100% EDIT “What could feel contrived emerges as elegant and honestly felt, a study not just of the tumult that often produces great art, but the silence too.” – Variety Feb 14, 2026 Full Review No Good Men (2026) EDIT “No Good Men feels all the more textured and vitally of its moment for its flaws and lapses. It has the unfakeable air of a film made in genuinely urgent circumstances, which makes its emotional surges feel hard-earned. ” – Variety Feb 12, 2026 Full Review All About the Money (2026) 91% EDIT “Who is Chambers really, behind all this provocation and prevarication? “All About the Money” never quite finds out, but it excavates enough to hint that he might not know either.” – Variety Feb 2, 2026 Full Review How to Divorce During the War (2026) 100% EDIT “A drily witty, subtly searing comedy from writer-director Andrius Blaževičius, “How to Divorce During the War” is both empathetic and surgical as it examines both partners’ attempts to sublimate selfish angst into social activism.” – Variety Feb 2, 2026 Full Review
