How to Make a Killing (2026) 52% C EDIT “An heir murders his way to the top in a film with simple observations and a predictable lead turn.” – AV Club Feb 18, 2026 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 98% B+ EDIT “The story two brothers tell themselves about their father, and about their childhood in Nigeria, My Father’s Shadow is as well-loved and well-worn as a lucky charm.” – AV Club Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 64% C+ EDIT “Schlocky yet tangible, Shelter is Waugh’s bargain-bin take on a Bourne-style supersoldier, thrust back into a life he left behind.” – AV Club Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 74% D+ EDIT “Somehow, the laborious and forgettable action-comedy isn't dumb enough.” – AV Club Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 19% D- EDIT “Goofy and low-rent, it’s a dire look at what happens when you can’t leave the past behind—whether you’re a horror game character or a video game movie filmmaker.” – AV Club Jan 22, 2026 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% B EDIT “The hilarious and affecting Thai ghost story is an assured and absurd debut.” – AV Club Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 49% D+ EDIT “A once clear and stupid-clever disaster, having stewed for half a decade, has curdled into a schmaltzy post-apocalypse.” – AV Club Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% B- EDIT “It’s the young cast, filled with up-and-comers like Everett Blunck, who make this anxiety-inducing look at pubescent social structures so thrilling—and so brutal.” – AV Club Dec 28, 2025 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 89% A- EDIT “Resurrection strips its audience down and builds them back up again, revealing how we change the art we make, and how it changes us in turn.” – AV Club Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% C EDIT “Despite its relative formal boldness, The Chronology Of Water is as ineffectively elliptical and muttery as Stewart’s first short film.” – AV Club Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% F EDIT “Whatever crass simplicity there once was to the concept of "Chuck E. Cheese that kills you," it has been crushed to death by narrative add-ons, plot gimmicks, and heavy-duty incompetence.” – AV Club Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 35% D- EDIT “Exclamation points would be false advertising for this holiday disaster.” – AV Club Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% B EDIT “More quaintly focused than the exuberant previous film...Wake Up Dead Man agreeably seeks answers both existential and earthly.” – AV Club Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Thoughts & Prayers (2025) 90% EDIT “It’s objectively ridiculous and vulgar, and the filmmakers mostly allow the interview subjects to stew in their own damning words.” – AV Club Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 49% C EDIT “A straightforward two-hander whose big genre pivots are as dull as its rote premise.” – AV Club Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% C- EDIT “It takes dedication to make a dull movie where Nicolas Cage plays Joseph and Jesus gets into a fistfight with Satan, but The Carpenter’s Son sets to its task with devotion, if little else.” – AV Club Nov 11, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% C- EDIT “The forgettable, unimaginative Netflix animation bobbles its themes and keeps its aspirations small.” – AV Club Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 97% B+ EDIT “Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han's film is both a fantastical memoir and precocious coming-of-age story, one that doesn’t need to venture past threenage.” – AV Club Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 49% C EDIT “Any subtlety found in the kind of schlubby, sharp-tongued, purgatorial storytelling that Osbourne favors gets trumped by Berger’s over-stylized simplicity.” – AV Club Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% C- EDIT “The countless genre clichés helps the film avoid being merely detestable and approach the sublimely ridiculous.” – AV Club Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% B- EDIT “Debut director Harris Dickinson finds a perfectly hangdog lead to elevate his standard, realist homelessness drama.” – AV Club Oct 17, 2025 Full Review The Twits (2025) 50% D+ EDIT “The Twits is exactly what one might imagine a Netflix Dahl adaptation to be: Diluted, simplistic animation, as cloying and feckless and smoothed over as anything from the last decade of Illumination films.” – AV Club Oct 17, 2025 Full Review John Candy: I Like Me (2025) 89% C EDIT “Colin Hanks' doc eulogizes the late Canadian comedy legend with a series of blandly sweet remembrances.” – AV Club Oct 10, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% B EDIT “Like the distance its sprinters dash over and over again, it’s predictable—even mundane at times. But also like those short bursts of all-out adrenaline, it can be transcendent in the moment.” – AV Club Oct 9, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% B EDIT “The documentary uses bodycam footage to capture the inevitable, racist, deeply American murder at its heart.” – AV Club Oct 9, 2025 Full Review
