Kontinental '25 (2025)
100%
“Slow but powerfully intimate, Kontinental ‘25 has lots to say about the current state of affairs in much of the modern world, most of all how individualism threatens to erase us all – physically and emotionally. ” –

Blue Moon (2025)
96%
“Here’s a simple one: Blue Moon is as close as it gets to a perfect work of art. Exceptionally written, superbly acted, and wonderfully moving, it’s a sucker punch little gem of a film, gripping as it is entertaining.” –

The Thing with Feathers (2025)

“Cumberbatch is flawless in his portrayal of Dad, conveying with his expressions and posture the delicate nature of hurt the screenplay couldn’t, but it’s unfair to rely on his talents alone to deliver a story this multifaceted.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)
93%
“At turns prosaic and A24 “quirky”, the plot is elevated to storytelling greatness by Byrne and Bronstein, whose go-for-broke commitment to the protagonist’s distress ensures we never lose sight of her humanity or relatability.” –

Mickey 17 (2025)

“Blessed be the nuance and the enormity of heart that comes from Bong Joon-ho’s (and most Koreans’) rightful rage toward the debauched, parasitic, colonizing, and murderous “elites”.” –

Juror #2 (2024)
93%
“Poignantly morally ambiguous and delivered with a straight face, Juror #2 is not just a courtroom drama for the ages with a universal appeal – just as importantly, it is a slick, hugely entertaining film that does not pander to or prompt its audiences.” –

The Wild Robot (2024)
96%
“The most humane, vital story about family (and especially how it rewires the circuitry of a mother) and the power of communal solidarity this year comes from… an animated feature about a robot and a runt duckling.” –

Conclave (2024)
93%
“Campy, soapy, and stylish to a fault, Conclave is a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously while serving some dead earnest truths about the nature of governance and public relations, far beyond organized religion itself. ” –

Challengers (2024)
88%
“A film about tennis made as a thriller, a film about dreams told through the crushing resentment of maturation, a film about sex that is in actuality a soul-crushing meditation on impotence.” –

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)

“Fans will hopefully appreciate Phillips’ brave denouement and the points he makes about the absurdity of fighting in the realm of the symbolic, but it’s sadly unlikely the average viewer will leave the cinema thinking more than “that’s entertainment”.” –

Queer (2024)
