Project Hail Mary (2026) Dana Stevens Like the space mission named in its title, Project Hail Mary pulls off a seemingly impossible task, combining big-budget Hollywood spectacle with small-scale craft.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Jack Hamilton Ultimately The Immortal Man made me acutely aware of everything I loved and miss about the original series; that may sound like a backhanded compliment, but there are far worse things a movie can do.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Sam Adams This isn’t just a giddy romp where a badass in high-tops channels working-class rage and comes out on top. It’s a little more brutal, a little uglier, with deaths that wouldn’t be out of place in one of Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett’s Scream movies.

Hoppers (2026) Sam Adams Hoppers feels a little less sanded-down than most of the studio’s recent movies, less content to coast on formula and hew to expectations about what Pixar movies do and don’t do.

The Drama (2026) Dana Stevens There’s something not just undercooked but insulting about how little attention The Drama pays to the inner life of Emma, ostensibly the movie’s co-lead and the character whose adolescent breakdown serves as the plot’s convenient catalyst.

You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Nadira Goffe What truly makes You, Me & Tuscany feel so in line with the classic zany rom-coms of yore is how delightfully detached from reality it is, and how predictable its beats are.

Mother Mary (2026) Dana Stevens The painfully literal ending struck me as a somewhat risible disappointment, and though I admired the movie’s imagination and ambition, I can’t say I ever entered wholeheartedly into its story.

THE BRIDE! (2026) Sam Adams Like the monsters at its center, it’s built from parts that don’t always fit together, but dammit: It’s alive.

Wuthering Heights (2026) Dana Stevens There’s fun to be found in this pulpy, carnal, proudly idiotic “Wuthering Heights."

The Investigation of Lucy Letby (2026) Imogen West-Knights The film is an interesting and uncomfortable document of whose privacy is deemed important in a case like this.

Iron Lung (2026) Rebecca Onion Some sequences work better than others, but to his credit, Markiplier does deliver the intensity needed at the end, when Simon makes a desperate and impressively gruesome sacrifice.

The Muppet Show (2026) Sam Adams The Muppet Show is back and better than ever before.

zi (2026) Sam Adams Drawing heavily on Agnès Varda’s Cléo From 5 to 7, with a little Chris Marker and Wong Kar-wai thrown in for good measure, it can feel sometimes like a vibe in search of a story, but the vibes are often exquisite.

Time and Water (2026) Sam Adams The movie forces us to ponder what remains after we’ve left this earth, and what kind of planet we want to leave behind.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Run Amok (2026) Sam Adams Its star makes sure we feel what the movie can’t find words to say.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
One in a Million (2026) Sam Adams Though Isra’a and Tarek’s relationship can be painful to witness, the movie’s complicated and unpredictable arc is a poignant reminder that life always has more in store.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Night Nurse (2026) Sam Adams Night Nurse has some first-film wobbles that grow more severe as the plot progresses but in a genre with too few recent entries and even fewer good ones, it’s a glass of water in the desert.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Musical (2026) Sam Adams Alexander Heller’s screenplay is too broad for the comedy to cut as deep as it wants to, but Brill’s performance has acid in it as well as bile, a self-lacerating edge that’s just slightly more fascinating than it is repellent.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Lake (2026) Sam Adams What makes this more than a standard issue-driven documentary is Ellis’ subtle but insistent tracking of the role religious faith plays on both sides of the debate.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Josephine (2026) Sam Adams The fact that de Araújo based the story on her own experience shouldn’t be what defines this accomplished and deeply thoughtful film, but it only increases the sense of awe that she so fully and fairly captures.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Best Summer (2026) Sam Adams Davis’ movie is chaotic and rough-hewn, and the performances and songs seem chosen almost at random, but it’s a precious time capsule, and a must for anyone who cares about the bands or the time.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Melania (2026) Heather Schwedel It contains nothing: no ideas, no point of view, no tension beyond whether the tailors will be able to properly alter her inauguration turtleneck.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Send Help (2026) Nadira Goffe Send Help, if you can stomach it, is a delight. It doesn’t take itself seriously at all, has a little something to keep everyone on their toes, and is led by two great performances.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Everybody to Kenmure Street (2026) Sam Adams Framing the movie through the hourslong standoff between police and protesters, Bustos Sierra departs from that ticking-clock narrative to fill viewers in on the history behind the apparently out-of-nowhere show of support.
Posted Jan 29, 2026  Edit critic review
Buddy (2026) Sam Adams The movie’s hilarious and unsettling disjunctions come from the way it introduces genuine menace into Buddy’s world without needing to rewrite its rules, because the menace was already bubbling just under the surface.

People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Rebecca Onion Everything that annoyed me about Book Poppy gets so much worse in this movie.

A Very Jonas Christmas Movie (2025) Nadira Goffe The music isn’t half bad, and the brothers do come off as charming.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Dana Stevens Wake Up Dead Man marks not just a return to form but an expansion of the series’ potential.

Jay Kelly (2025) Dana Stevens Linus Sandgren’s lambent cinematography captures the sumptuous melancholy of Jay’s gilded-cage life, and Nicholas Britell’s lush symphonic score adds a sometimes ironic note of classic-Hollywood glamour.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) Sam Adams It restores Thurman’s performance to a unified whole rather than presenting it in two disconnected halves, allowing us to see her career-defining work in one gloriously unbroken arc.

Eternity (2025) Heather Schwedel The resulting film is pretty darn cute.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo (2025) Sam Adams The Stringer goes to great lengths to investigate the question of where Nick Ut was on that road, constructing a timeline of events and plucking his blurry silhouette out of the background of photos focused on other subjects.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Nadira Goffe Though Zootopia 2 is not quite as funny as the first, it’s still got a banger new song by Shakira and many rapid-fire gags.

Hamnet (2025) Dana Stevens Zhao captures the book’s lyrical naturalism and attention to sensory detail in scenes involving the couple’s courtship and time spent playing with their young children.

ONE SHOT with Ed Sheeran (2025) Imogen West-Knights Ultimately, it’s fine. It’s not so much the single-take gimmick that makes this special worth noting, but something else that it captures: the dehumanizing effect of fame,

Train Dreams (2025) Rebecca Onion Beautiful, moving, and thoughtful.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Dana Stevens Any sense of disappointment that Wicked: For Good doesn’t quite live up to the first movie pops like a big pink bubble the moment Erivo and Grande unite one last time to sing the showstopping duet “For Good.”

Keeper (2025) Nadira Goffe Keeper is a movie that starts with immense promise but squanders it minute by minute. Despite a great performance from Maslany, Keeper struggles to remain innovative and definitely doesn’t stick the landing.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Rebecca Onion Every franchise needs to find a way to mix things up, and Trachtenberg has done it.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Scaachi Koul Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is, more than any of the other installments, a feature-length exposition dump.

The Running Man (2025) Sam Adams It sparks to life only for brief periods.

Sentimental Value (2025) Dana Stevens Though it’s only two hours and 13 minutes long, Sentimental Value packs a whole novel’s worth of emotional texture and telling visual detail into that run time.
Posted Nov 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Christy (2025) Heather Schwedel Christy doesn’t spend enough time on Martin’s interior life. Instead, you’re left wondering whether to root for a character who often acts like a jerk, whose more human side we barely get to know.

Blue Moon (2025) Dana Stevens Kaplow’s script neatly avoids both claustrophobia and staginess, dividing the story into three discrete acts.

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Dana Stevens Nouvelle Vague darts forward at the effervescent pace of the cultural youth movement it chronicles.

The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Sam Adams A chilling and provocative look at the limits of policing, particularly when the laws the police are called to enforce present more of a problem than a solution.

Hedda (2025) Nadira Goffe The determination of DaCosta’s Løvborg to secure that professorship is provided fresh urgency, given her uphill battles as a woman entering a boys’ club.

Regretting You (2025) Rebecca Onion Regretting You will aggravate anyone with a low tolerance for watching easily resolvable misunderstandings persist throughout a story, driving unnecessary conflict.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Carl Wilson It’s a film that feels as if it has many endings, and also many middles, several of them a bit boring.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Bugonia (2025) Dana Stevens By straining in its closing moments toward philosophical grandeur, the film instead does a disservice to both its characters and its audience.
