The Dreadful (2026) Frank Scheck Harden is the most entertaining thing about The Dreadful, which aims for classic folk horror but mostly feels tedious.

A New Dawn (2026) Leslie Felperin While Shinomiya’s visuals are admirably original, the script doesn’t have the emotional heft that helps the best Japanese cartoons crossover beyond niche fan bases. Still, it drifts along pleasantly enough

The Blood Countess (2026) David Rooney It’s a challenge to stay with it for the protracted two-hour duration. At least there’s Huppert in gloriously aloof form, plus the overripe lusciousness of Martin Gschlacht’s cinematography; with an edible and/or a cocktail or three, that might be enough.

We Are All Strangers (2026) David Rooney A film in which nothing and everything happens. The movie now and then risks tipping into winsome cuteness, but Chen’s limpid naturalism helps sidestep potential clichés; its emotions are honest and earned.

Home Stories (2026) Leslie Felperin As an intentionally contrapuntal portrait of contemporary German identity with some of the many contradictions and complications one would expect, it just about works, although local audiences will naturally get the most out of it.

Nina Roza (2026) Jordan Mintzer It’s an intriguing set-up that takes a little time to find its way, but once it does Nina Roza turns into a moving meditation on estrangement, revealing what you give up by leaving home behind -- and what you gain by daring to finally return.

I Can Only Imagine 2 (2026) Frank Scheck Laborious and dull, I Can Only Imagine 2 only comes to life in the comedic scenes featuring Ventimiglia, who buries his handsomeness in a buzz-cut, full beard, and Buddy Holly-style glasses to resemble Timmons.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) David Rooney It’s as if Luhrmann were conducting a séance, awakening Elvis from the afterlife with a raw vitality and outsize energy that are rare even among the living.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
A Prayer for the Dying (2026) Leslie Felperin "Prayer" will definitely make a name for, or at least cement the reputations of, many of the talents attached to it. That goes especially for writer-director Dara Van Dusen.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Animol (2026) David Rooney It’s grim and wrapped in despair much of the time but willing to make space for hope, understanding and forgiveness. Most of all it’s never banal, always involving, with fully convincing performances across the board.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Nightborn (2026) Jordan Mintzer Part of what makes Nightborn both stomach-churning and thought-provoking is how all the crazy stuff happening is just a slightly -- okay, substantially -- exaggerated version of the reality so many first-time parents face.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Dao (2026) Jordan Mintzer Gomis is a generous director when it comes to his massive ensemble cast, from which there’s rarely a false note. He’s also too indulgent, refusing to make compromises that would probably help the bigger picture come into focus.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Yellow Letters (2026) Jordan Mintzer If the plot in Yellow Letters doesn’t exactly move the needle, intense turns from both leads keep the drama engaging.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Sunny Dancer (2026) Leslie Felperin The easily spotted interludes where the young cast, all of them fast-ascending talents, were allowed to let rip, cut loose and improvise their pretty little hearts out cut the sweetness and create needed teenage texture.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
In A Whisper (2026) Jordan Mintzer In Bouzid’s eloquent vision of family ties, a past like Daly’s both haunts the present and informs it.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
GOAT (2026) Frank Scheck The hyperkinetic animation style, which bears no small similarity to Sony’s Spider-Verse hits, can be a bit relentless for adult viewers not steadily ingesting sugary substances. But the CGI images are undeniably dazzling and often very amusing.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Midwinter Break (2026) Caryn James There are no better actors than Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds to reveal the unspoken depths of such characters... But even these two can’t quite bring Midwinter Break to life, intelligent and thoughtful though its concept is.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Queen at Sea (2026) Leslie Felperin That commitment to both technical and emotional veracity pays dividends all round, creating a work that’s not exactly fun to watch but one that feels sincere, urgent and unflinchingly honest.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Rosebush Pruning (2026) David Rooney There’s no shortage of stylish craft here and much to enjoy in the performances, but ultimately, Rosebush Pruning is too glib to work, leaving only an acrid aftertaste.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Mouse (2026) David Rooney Even scenes that should be corny land with a light touch in an ultra-naturalistic movie warmed by the summer sun.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
At the Sea (2026) David Rooney Adams is the chief factor that makes At the Sea watchable, if not as compelling as it should be. She brings a fractured grace to Laura that gradually evolves into what looks like peaceful acceptance.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Rose (2026) David Rooney The title role in the austerely beautiful character study Rose is such a thrilling fit for Sandra Hüller that it becomes impossible to imagine any other actor nailing the part.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2026) David Rooney ...the movie’s artful direction, nimble structure, visual richness and impeccable performances make for something full-bodied, compelling and deeply affecting, its melancholy beauty lingering long after the end credits roll.

3.5/4
Chocolat (2000) Michael Rechtshaffen Concession counters should be prepared for the accompanying deluge; after subjecting audiences to two hours of mouthwatering temptation, they could probably sell the stuff by the vat.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Run Amok (2026) Jourdain Searles Run Amok is stuffed with ideas about school shootings, gun control and mental illness that don’t quite come together into any coherent thesis.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Jourdain Searles But Greaves puts us right in the room with his naturalistic, vérité approach, making us quiet spectators among some of the most influential Black writers, thinkers, artists and entertainers to ever live.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Rock Springs (2026) Jourdain Searles Rock Springs is a big swing from Miao that pays off in the end, blending drama, horror and ugly American history to create a truly heartbreaking and hopefully healing experience.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
Only Rebels Win (2026) Leslie Felperin [Only Rebels Win] offers a workable blend of new and old, contemporary geopolitics and local socioeconomic tensions rubbing up against primordial, universal passions and follies.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
No Good Men (2026) David Rooney Much of the comedy appears to have been lost along the wayside in a movie that’s inarguably well-intentioned, even admirable, but struggles to pin down exactly what it wants to be beyond that.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Frank Scheck This overly meta farce beats its mildly silly jokes so steadily into the ground that it’s not so much a case of diminishing returns as humor abuse.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Crime 101 (2026) Frank Scheck Crime 101 feels too contrived and artificial to be convincing. But there’s plenty to appreciate along the way, especially the extensive cinematic craftsmanship that’s gone into it.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Wuthering Heights (2026) David Rooney Fennell’s overhaul flirts with insanity, and if you can let go of preconceived notions about how this story should be told, it’s arguably the writer-director’s most purely entertaining film.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) David Rooney Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die doesn’t quite deliver on the sardonic promise of its catchy title, but its appealing cast and Verbinski’s flair for kinetic action set pieces make it a reasonably entertaining entry in the canon of gonzo sci-fi comedies.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Saccharine (2026) David Rooney James has no lack of talent, but fans of Relic who were hoping this might be a return to form after the mixed-bag Rosemary’s Baby prequel Apartment 7A will likely be disappointed.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
The Muppet Show (2026) Daniel Fienberg This is not The Muppet Show at its best, but it’s a return to what the Muppets do best.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
Frank & Louis (2026) David Rooney It’s the leads who both anchor and elevate the film. Morgan is heartbreaking as a man broken and lost, possibly even more so when he’s lucid enough to be aware of what’s happening to him.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Shame and Money (2026) Sheri Linden Morina’s slow-burning third feature, after Babai and Exil, is attuned to every held breath and hopeful, wary or wounded glance of its two leads, Astrit Kabashi and Flonja Kodheli, who deliver performances of exquisite understatement.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Union County (2026) David Rooney This is an admirably serious-minded attempt to go inside a troubled community that most of us would go out of our way to avoid -- showing compassion for a struggle that can frequently be one step forward, two steps back.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Cold Storage (2026) David Rooney To its credit, this is a movie that knows better than to take itself too seriously. It’s painless enough though could have been more than that with a thorough script polish.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) Jordan Mintzer Shot in a pared-down but colorful style by Angello Faccini, Flamingo makes the most out of its limited budget and picturesque locations, which include an arid mountain range straight out of a spaghetti Western.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Jordan Mintzer Cheese and kitsch, with smatterings of blood and decapitated heads, are all on the menu in Dracula, which is a watchable if totally ludicrous version of the Stoker story.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuisance Bear  (2026) David Rooney Admittedly, I’m a sentimental softie for anything depicting mopey animals, but the sight of a weary polar bear lumbering across the tundra with a faded patch of green dye on its back seems like the saddest visual in the world.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) Angie Han Rather than give in to either misery porn or glossy sentimentality, however, If I Go Will They Miss Me finds intense emotionality in a disarming sense of tenderness.

Melania (2026) Frank Scheck To say that Melania is a hagiography would be an insult to hagiographies. This is a film that fawns so lavishly over its subject that you feel downright unpatriotic not gushing over it.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Troublemaker (2026) Daniel Fienberg Using interviews conducted for Mandela’s autobiography as its spine, Troublemaker is pure hagiography. Still, having Mandela’s voice guide you through even a sanitized version of his life feels important and, in places, unnervingly timely.

Antiheroine (2026) David Rooney If you’ve ever screamed along or jumped around in your underwear to “Violet” or “Olympia," you are sure to find this exploratory step back into the spotlight thrilling.

When a Witness Recants (2026) Sheri Linden Dawn Porter’s gripping documentary takes a measured, multipronged approach as it examines the nightmarish miscarriage of justice, the longed-for and extraordinary resolution, and the possibly unhealable wounds for almost everyone involved.

Give Me the Ball! (2026) David Rooney A nonfiction feature with the propulsive excitement of a great narrative, the film weaves a wealth of archival material around a captivating present-day sit-down interview with the octogenarian subject, who is candid, funny and unfailingly down-to-earth.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Leslie Felperin [A] touching, intimate chronicle.

Shelter (2026) Frank Scheck Shelter reliably provides plenty of the action that Statham fans crave, not to mention his trademark charisma and low-key underplaying that makes Charles Bronson look overly demonstrative.
