The Musical (2026) 58% EDIT “At times, genius and at others, just cringey, The Musical is the mean-spirited movie of the year.” – Film Inquiry Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 68% EDIT “Carousel will find its audience, and there’s plenty to appreciate about the film; I just wish I had fallen in love with it. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Silenced (2026) 100% EDIT “Silenced is a compassionate documentary that does a successful job delivering on its intent. We all know this is an ongoing battle, and an uphill one at that. Movies like Silenced are the start, and hopefully, this pushes the conversation to continue.” – Film Inquiry Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) 91% EDIT “Paxton has crafted a warm embrace with this film. The Incomer is magic, and it highlights the beautifully strange dance that is human connection. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 97% EDIT “Josephine is a heartbreaking film, but not without hope. It’s brilliant in its performances and gives us Channing Tatum's best. This also proves that Beth de Araújo is one of our bravest new voices.” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) 94% EDIT “This is Hannah Lynch’s film, who does an amazing job as our anchor to both reality and absurdity. Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant is exactly what it says it is, and yet also, much more. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Vindicta (2026) EDIT “Dominik Sedlar’s Vindicta is a harrowing tale that is anchored by exquisite direction and a star-turning lead performance.” – Film Inquiry Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Chaperone (2024) 100% EDIT “Zoe Eisenberg’s assured directorial debut swims in moral ambiguity, but it’s equally concerned with loneliness, inertia, and the quiet despair that can settle in when life feels suspended. ” – Film Inquiry Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The War Between (2024) 89% EDIT “It may not break the wheel but it sure spins it. Watch The War Between for its beautiful landscapes, the emotional journey on screen and to appreciate the talented female eye in an overtly male genre.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Tatami (2023) 94% EDIT “Not only is it one of the best films of the year, but it might just be one of the most important.” – Film Inquiry Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Witch (2015) 91% EDIT “Infectious and influential, The Witch is one of the best horror films of the 2010’s.” – Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying Jun 26, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) 47% EDIT “It’s a slick, well-polished slasher with a strong cast, but I Know What You Did Last Summer is a film that’s both of its time and somewhat stuck in it. ” – Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Liquor Bank (2025) 100% EDIT “Liquor Bank effectively delivers an inspiring message and Marcellus Cox further proves he’s a director to watch. ” – Film Inquiry Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Thank You Very Much (2023) 91% EDIT “For the most part, Thank You Very Much works, and provides some insight into an artist who still (and probably always will) remain a mystery to us.” – Film Inquiry Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Redux Redux (2025) 98% EDIT “Redux, Redux presents a familiar concept in a new and provocative lens and it's one of the best films of the year so far.” – Film Inquiry Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% EDIT “Good Boy is a haunting, unconventional horror, featuring one of the best performances I have seen this year (by a dog no less) and shows Ben Leonberg has captured lightening in a bottle.” – Film Inquiry Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Mermaid (2025) 100% EDIT “One of a kind, Mermaid is a strange fusion of crime thriller and surrealist comedy and you can't ignore the sheer audacity at play and not admire this funky amalgamation. For those who get on its wavelength, there’s nothing else quite like it. ” – Film Inquiry Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Racewalkers (2025) EDIT “Co-directors and stars Kevin Claydon and Phil Moniz possess impeccable chemistry, with their sharp banter and genuine sincerity grounding the film’s humor in warmth rather than just hilarity.” – Film Inquiry Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Omaha (2025) 89% EDIT “Ample parts heartbreaking and heartwarming, Omaha can be devastating, but with its empathy, it challenges and profoundly moves us. Magaro delivers something raw and Oscar-worthy as he wrestles with inner turmoil.” – Film Inquiry Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Atropia (2025) 41% EDIT “While Alia Shawkat is amazing and the film’s absurdity amusing, it never fully capitalizes on its premise.” – Film Inquiry Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% EDIT “Oh, Hi is a clever and charmingly odd dark comedy, thriving on sharp performances and cheeky writing. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% EDIT “Eva Victor is a multi-talented writer, director, and actress, she’s a true gem—delivering a performance infused with quiet strength and sharp comedic mastery.” – Film Inquiry Feb 11, 2025 Full Review The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (2025) 84% EDIT “Quarry Lake infuses its narrative with a near-feral intensity, driven by Dolores Oliverio’s mesmerizing performance. ” – Film Inquiry Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Hanky Panky (2023) 90% EDIT “Hanky Panky doesn’t take itself too seriously but delivers sharply written humor in a delightfully delirious package.” – Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Glue Trap (2023) EDIT “Glue Trap is a masterful debut feature, showcasing a new and talented voice in horror.” – Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying Dec 7, 2024 Full Review
