Touch Me (2025) 86% 3/4 EDIT “If you’re like me and stick with it and go on to embrace its unbridled spirit you’re in for a good hypnotic time.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Through the jangly use of cellphone cameras capturing violence on the cellblock and a winnowed down running time, “Wasteman” doesn’t waste one second of a film time. It certainly has a surplus of talent in front of and behind the camera. ” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Steal This Story, Please! (2025) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “In their air-tight portrait of Goodman and her band of dedicated journalists, directors Carl Deal and Tia Lessin runs us through this dogged newshounds invaluable contributions and also look at her upbringing and what sparked her passion for reporting.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Lorne (2026) 67% 3/4 EDIT “An entertaining look at how the sausage gets made and while you might walk away from it still wondering who the heck Lorne Michaels really is, you do have greater respect for what he’s created and in turn what Neville has imaginatively mustered up. ” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 15, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “It’s a bristling portrait composed of small, strategic brushtrokes. ” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “... a nonstop neo-Western action film as Ulysses, played with the right amount of drollness by Odenkirk, goes out on a call about a bank robbery that turns into something bigger.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 3.5/4 EDIT “Director/co-screenwriter Daniel Goldhaber turns it into a cat-and-mouse chase that does have its fair share of effective moments. It also has two sliver of performances from Jermaine Fowler and the ubiquitous Charli xcx.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Beast (2026) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “Tyler Atkins directs the action with a singular purpose and he knows exactly what his audience wants but there are flaws too big to ignore.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Hamlet (2025) 72% 3/4 EDIT “Even with those misgivings, you have to admire “Hamlet” for its lead performance, its style and its bravery in doing something different than what we’ve seen before. ” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “Exit 8 makes for a unique immersive and repetitive experience with a mood-setting soundtrack and sound design (the clacking heels will get on your nerves) that’ll stick in your subconscious. It’s a “videogame” movie with a lot on its mind.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 8, 2026 Full Review American Muscle (2026) 3/4 EDIT “Ray goes on to make one bad move after another in a taut thriller that makes one good move after another. ” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 3, 2026 Full Review The Red Line (2026) 2/4 EDIT “Director Sitisiri Mongkolsiri’s missed opportunity gets bogged down by its self-seriousness in its final act and while the cast is good; the solemn screenplay needed to loosen up, not just a little but a lot. ” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Miroirs No. 3 (2025) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “As with all of Petzold’s films, “Miroirs No. 3” lingers with you as you replay scenes afterwards and find more meaning and context to them.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “It has its faults and gets off to a slow start, but then hits the gas for a fun kick-back Friday night pick when you’re hankering for something that won’t overtax your brain.” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 44% 1.5/4 EDIT “It gets tiring. Returning directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic hit us with one action rush after another that never allows any of their characters room to breathe or come to life. ” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “The Drama might seem like it’s an anti-wedding movie. But it deserves better than that since, in the end, it asks the most essential question any couple needs to answer before exchanging rings: Is it really worth all the drama?” – San Jose Mercury News Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “It sheds light on history so we don’t forget it but do learn from it. It’s the work of a true artist. ” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Marc by Sofia (2025) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “Marc By Sofia also introduces how it takes an obsessive person to get all the details right, but doesn’t go deeper than that. Too bad, a little more about Jacobs the person would have created a fuller portrait. ” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 73% 3/4 EDIT “It’s campy, full of laughs and some gore, and even sounds a chord about breaking free – or at least trying too – of female friendships and cliques.” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 26, 2026 Full Review The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “As “The AI Doc” effectively indicates, if we don’t hurry up and do something about it, self-evolving AGI might well figure that out before any of us do. Then it might be too late. ” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Ricky (2025) 88% 3/4 EDIT “James gives a phenomenal performance that will shatter you.” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Pout-Pout Fish (2026) 63% 3/4 EDIT ““The Pout-Pout Fish” takes full advantage of the underwater population and has a clever-enough screenplay and a terrific vocal performance from Amy Sedaris as a trio of dolphins who aren’t as nice as they look. ” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “Tow is a small, indie triumph extolling how persistence can pay off, even if it seems impossible at times.” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 3/4 EDIT “The kills here are as elaborate as in the first outing and the depictions of moral decrepitude are so on target at times you all but want to stand up and cheer when the evildoers get served their comeuppance. ” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “What also makes Project Hail Mary's so gosh darn lovable is that it imbues us with child-like wonder from scenes that pay homage to such classics as E.T., Flight of the Navigator and, yes, Rocky.” – San Jose Mercury News Mar 19, 2026 Full Review
