The Fishing Place (2024) 73% “It’s a shame that the conversations The Fishing Place will provoke just might be far more substantial than anything within the film itself.” – Vague Visages Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 67% 5/10 “I can't deny that the film lives up to its title, but it's a disappointment because it feels like a filmmaker who set a new template for the genre falling behind the pack, imitating the action hits that followed in the wake of his two Raid efforts. ” – Looper.com Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Queens of Drama (2024) 87% “The film might not be set within the current moment, but Langlois always remains attuned to it, with his story about parasocial fandoms and the pressure they put on artists effortlessly transcending its period setting.” – The Film Stage Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Cloud (2024) 90% 4/5 “When the current wave of “eat the rich” genre satires finally comes to an end, this morally thorny tale will stand strong as one of the era’s richest.” – View of the Arts Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% “ It’s rare to see a big studio film where the director has been given freedom to fully realize his period setting at the expense of the plot.” – The Film Stage Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Pet Shop Days (2023) 23% “The most damning thing about Pet Shop Days is that, even in an LGBTQ cinema landscape starved of controversy, Schnabel’s coming-of-age attack on basic human decency is more likely to elicit yawns than gasps.” – Vague Visages Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Being Maria (2024) 62% “It’s fascinated by the traumatic situation its protagonist found herself in while making the career it preceded a footnote, unable to articulate the way it shaped her growth as an artist beyond a reductive downward-spiral narrative.” – The Film Stage Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Visitor (2024) 94% “The Visitor isn’t “perfect,” but at a time when the most renowned queer stories in cinema are more insular, personal tales, one that dares to be in conversation with the world around it during such a volatile time will make for an oddly enduring artefact.” – Vague Visages Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 1/10 “Everything from the character designs to the story beats feel like the results of ChatGPT prompts the siblings hastily made on the way to set each day.” – Looper.com Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Maya, Give Me a Title (2024) “Running at a whisker over an hour, Maya, Give Me a Title is the most a Gondry film has lived up to the promise of his breakthrough short-form work in decades, rejuvenating his creative spirit while a minor work in intention.” – The Film Stage Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 80% 5/10 “Adapting his own hit Netflix documentary of the same name from 2019, director Alex Parkinson offers some fittingly intense genre thrills without ever fully justifying why he needed to return to this deep-sea nightmare.” – Looper.com Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 100% 3/5 “If you can acclimatize to its very deliberate pacing, you’ll be rewarded with a quietly haunting tale of a doomed relationship, albeit one where the quietness often comes into conflict with such a historically potent backdrop.” – View of the Arts Feb 21, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% “Each over-the-top but unimaginative kill scene becomes increasingly insufferable the more the director leans into a whacky tone.” – Vague Visages Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 6/10 “If you felt that "Starship Troopers" played it too straight as a satire and needed more characters directly explaining to the audience that they were parodying fascism, then "Mickey 17" is for you.” – Looper.com Feb 16, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 7/10 “In its fourth — and by far, best — outing, the "Bridget Jones" series manages to thread the needle between escapist romantic fantasy and earnest exploration of the realities of the life that follows what should have been a happily ever after.” – Looper.com Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Most Precious of Cargoes (2024) 63% “To write it off as another misjudged Holocaust fantasy tale in the vein of Life is Beautiful or Jojo Rabbit would be to overlook the subtle ways Hazanavicius attempts to interrogate the genre as a whole.” – Vague Visages Feb 9, 2025 Full Review Marcello Mio (2024) 50% D+ “Honoré stages plenty of surface-level homages to the actor’s storied back catalogue, but his passion for the works of Mastroianni doesn’t equate to insight––his film is every bit as shallow as the Trevi Fountain.” – The Film Stage Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Rose (2021) 81% C- “Grief is a messy experience, and Saada’s film never manages to grapple with how much of an impact it can still have that late in life. It’s too neat a portrayal of an emotionally turbulent moment––a Rose I wish had more thorns.” – The Film Stage Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Emmanuelle (2024) 17% B “As a story of sexual discovery, it feels less aligned with its predecessors than it does something like Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin, in which the very act of sexual desire is depicted as something unfathomable and alien.” – The Film Stage Jan 15, 2025 Full Review By the Stream (2024) 100% 4/5 “Hong's most ambitiously self-reflective tale...” – View of the Arts Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Santosh (2024) 100% B- “Its approach can sometimes come across as more of an academic subversion, rather than one rooted in a genuine knowledge and affection for genre tropes, but it hits with enough blunt force that it still proves arresting in the moment.” – AwardsWatch Jan 2, 2025 Full Review From Ground Zero (2024) 98% B “All these shorts offer sobering glances at life during wartime, but this isn’t a film marked by hopelessness, nor is it one that could be cheaply written-off as depicting triumphs of the human spirit.” – The Film Stage Jan 1, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% “It’s not the best adaptation of Nosferatu, but it is everything one would hope for from Eggers’ sinking his teeth into the material.” – Vague Visages Dec 23, 2024 Full Review How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024) 98% 3/5 “I might complain about the formulaic storytelling, but I won’t pretend I didn’t feel something in my eye by the end.” – View of the Arts Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “The most revelatory thing about The Brutalist is that Corbet is a far more perceptive dramatist when he’s not trying to squeeze everybody onscreen into an overstuffed yet underdeveloped thesis.” – Vague Visages Dec 19, 2024 Full Review
