The Musical
(2026)
|
Kristy Strouse
|
At times, genius and at others, just cringey, The Musical is the mean-spirited movie of the year.

The Huntress
(2026)
|
Jules Caldeira
|
La Cazadora is not a typical revenge flick. From the content to the performances, you won’t be able to look away from this one.

Extra Geography
(2026)
|
Jules Caldeira
|
Extra Geography, is a brisk 94-minute drama that is unafraid to be both dryly funny and yet awkwardly discomforting at the same time. Viewers may find comparisons to Booksmart or The Holdovers appropriate, which in itself is high praise.

THX 1138
(1971)
|
Manon de Reeper
|
THX 1138 requires a lot of thinking and a vivid imagination. It’s not an easy movie.

Carousel will find its audience, and there’s plenty to appreciate about the film; I just wish I had fallen in love with it.

Silenced
(2026)
|
Kristy Strouse
|
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.

The Incomer
(2026)
|

Paxton has crafted a warm embrace with this film. The Incomer is magic, and it highlights the beautifully strange dance that is human connection.

Josephine
(2026)
|
Kristy Strouse
|
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.

Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant
(2026)
|
Kristy Strouse
|
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.

Nadja
(1994)
|
Lee Jutton
|
A time capsule of a certain era of indie film experimentation, Nadja might lack the gloss of later vampire films with larger budgets, but that’s part of what makes it such a fun watch.

Chaperone
(2024)
|
Kristy Strouse

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.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man
(2024)
|
Sean Fallon

Maybe The Crooked Man will only appeal to hardcore Hellboy fans who want to see another adaptation of their favorite character, but it is also a very enjoyable riff on folk horror and The Evil Dead with some comic book flourishes.

Godzilla

Watching Godzilla ‘54 and having an absolute ball with it, I’m not surprised that 70 years later, Godzilla is still doing big box office numbers and wowing audiences. And I don’t think he has any plans of retiring in the near or distant future.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey

Perhaps in their haste to be the first ones out with a Winnie-the-Pooh movie, the filmmakers unfortunately skimped on the writing for the non-Pooh characters, leaving them lifeless and feeling fake.

A Useful Ghost
(2025)

I’m not sure if I enjoyed this movie or endured it, as its glacial pace and meandering plot are sometimes a strength, sometimes a weakness, as often the lack of movement adds to the comedy and other times it feels stilted and boring.

We Bury the Dead
(2024)

We Bury the Dead is a rumination on grief and the way we lose loved ones sometimes without a goodbye or on bad terms. It is also a road trip movie, a haunted house horror, and a showcase for the talents of Daisy Ridley.
