Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Buoyed by a sense of humankind's propensity for hope even when faced with certain demise, Project Hail Mary is a crowd pleasing odd couple melodrama leaning heavily on sentimentality, sometimes to its detriment. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “As far as backwoods horror films go, Dolly is running on empty story wise, but Blackhurst channels the grimy, grainy ambience of 70s charnel house terror well enough to tolerate its existence. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Blah, Blah, horror film Have you anything to say? Yes sir, yes sir And in the simplest way” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 2/5 EDIT “A provocative conception reveals itself to be disappointingly skin deep in Slanted, reifying the insidiousness of white privilege while also simultaneously ignoring the ingrained Eurocentric beauty standards actually inspiring the protagonist's...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 57% 1/5 EDIT “Colleen Hoover returns with more deviance and dysfunction defining her commonplace and woefully simple working class heterosexual characters who exist in the morbid realm of a Lifetime film and yet always ascend to the horizon of a Hallmark card greeting.” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Gates (2026) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “Too many odd and sometimes jarring choices tend to mar an otherwise tense and unfortunately pertinent thriller concerning the realities of bigotry and religious charlatans. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come may retain the devil-may-care posturing of its predecessor but this cash grab sequel lazily repeats the same template, and if there's anything blasphemous to Beelzebub, it's making him boring. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Rose Byrne leads a formidable cast in Tow, a glossy sitcom treatment of enormous disparity requiring a bit more grit to properly convey the kitchen sink miserabilism and mental health issues lurking underneath a hollow David v. Goliath triumph. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Nostalgia itself is not a subtext upon which to pointlessly center a comedic narrative, especially when the final product also happens to be as joyless, generic, and inconsequential as Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Though more silly than sinister, They Will Kill You at least justifies the definitive promise of its title while the familiarity and ludicrousness of its narrative are often ameliorated by a vibrant Zazie Beetz...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Kristoffer Borgli returns with another heightened exercise on our implicit obsession and socially codified need to control the narrative of how are perceived while also examining how humans are constantly compromised by the performative hypocrisy...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 3/5 EDIT “While Goldhaber's call back to the cult classic franchise could never dream to match the infamy of its inspiration in the social media age, it's a serviceable serial killer thriller elevated by a compelling lead performance. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% 3/5 EDIT “Michaela Cole and Ian McKellen forge a compelling chemistry as the odd couple centering Soderbergh's comedic drama The Christophers which is much about embracing authenticity in the creative realm as it is the critical. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Formula without flavor makes for a stale exercise with You, Me & Tuscany, where the vibrant garnish provided by a lovely supporting cast only highlights the sparks missing between the bland blustering explored by boring lead characters. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Wheatley lassoes Odenkirk's alternate action persona in Normal, a noir-tinged Western of sorts which feels like the Coen Bros. version of The Wicker Man...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “Lowery's psychodrama soap opera may bite off more than it can metaphorically chew, but a wounded, glowering Michaela Cole elevates this moody, melancholic expiation beyond the confines of glittery pop-icon artifice. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 84% 3/5 EDIT “The destructive dynamics of amour fou amongst commitment-phobic twentysomethings hearkens back to the freewheeling effervescence of the French New Wave in Pete Ohs' Erupcja, which is as clunky as the immature subjects it's depicting. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% 2.5/5 EDIT “A throwback to 80s horror films focused on imperiled families besotted by improbable supernatural elements, Lee Cronin's The Mummy gleefully embraces all familiar tropes with enough zeal to lull us...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Double Double Trouble (2026) 1.5/5 EDIT “By the pricking of her thumbs, wicked Tami Roman comes undone in this silly but entertaining exploitative Lifetime film which continues to assert female twins represent the pinnacle of perverse, familial dysfunction. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Mar 23, 2026 Full Review My Wife Cries (2026) 2/5 EDIT “If there have ever been any cast of characters in need of a significant addiction issue to kick things up a notch, it’s these milquetoast non-entities.” – IONCINEMA.com Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Dust (2026) 2/5 EDIT “Committed lead performances from noted Belgian thesps Arieh Worthalter and Jan Hammenecker aside, a lengthy running time seems to stretch indefinitely with a narrative void of any real peaks or valleys.” – IONCINEMA.com Mar 10, 2026 Full Review The Loneliest Man in Town (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “Covi and Frimmel’s works are often quiet, methodical studies, all which find their own inviting, specific rhythm. Through their observational lens, a vibrant portrait of a melancholic but complex man emerges” – IONCINEMA.com Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Flies (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “The real momentum of the film belongs to Bastian Escobar, who is, in essence, just being a child who misses his mother. The lesson learned here is old as human existence -- you catch more flies with honey.” – IONCINEMA.com Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Soumsoum, The Night of the Stars (2026) 2/5 EDIT “Ultimately, Soumsoum, the Night of the Stars feels stitched together haphazardly, and somewhat of a disappointment from the usually pristine Haroun.” – IONCINEMA.com Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Yo (Love is a Rebellious Bird) (2026) 2.5/5 EDIT “By the end of the film, it’s unclear why this project would seem sublime to anyone other than those who were consumed by its creation.” – IONCINEMA.com Mar 10, 2026 Full Review
