The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% B “Its modernist meta-textual caustic sting? You can take it or leave it. But it will richly reward those in tune with Blichfeldt’s gleeful bastardization of fairytale tropes.” – The Playlist Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 3.5/5 “The release timing of Conclave is either fortuitous or wholly intentional, as it is, at heart, an election drama full of backstabbing, vicious rhetoric, political maneuvering, targeted leaks and oppo dumps.” – ScreenAnarchy Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Vermiglio (2024) 93% A “Vermiglio isn’t a generic portrait of an Alpine village, it is culled from Delpero’s family history and has the texture and sweep of a novel or, even better, a memoir. ” – The Playlist Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Invention (2024) 94% 3.5/5 “With only their wits and imagination at their disposal and not a lot of money, Stephens and Hernandez deliver a superior, singular and arresting film that will bring credit to both their careers.” – International Cinephile Society Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Real (2024) 3/5 “Presents a broad survey of the current digital landscape, how technology has infiltrated every aspect of the human experience, and whether we might be on the brink of speciation – fundamentally mutating and re-wiring ourselves.” – International Cinephile Society Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Most People Die on Sundays (2024) 2.5/5 “Most People Die On Sundays represents David’s aimlessness almost too well as the film itself comes across as meandering, ill-formed and without a proper destination in mind.” – ScreenAnarchy Oct 20, 2024 Full Review The Wild Robot (2024) 96% 2/5 “The denouement seems diagrammatically and cynically designed to put the protagonists in peril, push buttons, and work the viewers' sympathies, pity, and tear glands. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 21, 2024 Full Review The Cut (2024) 77% 3/5 “The Cut is distinguished by its ending. The severity of cutting weight needed a memorable hook, and The Cut goes there in a shocking finale that serves as a stinging, pungent punchline.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Carnival Is Over (2024) 3.5/5 “Carnival Is Over is a dark, delectable treat--a poisonous bonbon--that enthralls and repels in equal measure. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Hold Your Breath (2024) 40% D ““Hold Your Breath” is a strange beast—there aren’t enough thrills for horror heads nor any blood and gore for slasher fans. Even as straight drama, it isn’t entirely successful. ” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Shell (2024) 47% B+ ““Shell” is a breezy watch and maintains a light, playful tone throughout— the audience is meant to laugh with and at the movie. ” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review All of You (2024) 83% C- “In its decade-spanning structure and proclamations of “true soul mate,” 'All Of You' wants to be “Doctor Zhivago” or another such sweeping romance. Only it obviously isn’t and leaves you with a feeling of much ado about nothing.” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Unstoppable (2024) 76% C+ ““Unstoppable” has found a way to make wrestling a very coherent sport for even those who don’t follow it.” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Eden (2024) 57% B+ “Ana de Armas’ preening, vampy, high-camp performance makes for one of the most entertaining & memorable villains in recent memory. She single-handedly elevates “Eden” to a lurid Black comedy - nailing the tone even more than Howard’s direction.” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Bring Them Down (2024) 90% C “Something bizarre about the character dynamics makes you wonder if “Bring Them Down” is completely miscast.” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% B “It is a measure of praise for its dramatic construction and quality of dialog that, with a few reasonable tweaks, “Heretic” could easily be turned into a play.” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review The Return (2024) 78% A- “Fiennes displays an impressively sinewy and shredded physique through much of “The Return.” He uncorks fiery machismo and badassery in his action scenes that we seldom see from him.” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Kill (2023) 89% C- “Resorts to the most tired, risible, dated trope for providing motivation to the male protagonist – fridging the girlfriend. ” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Hummingbirds (2023) 100% B “If going in, you did not know that “Hummingbirds” was a documentary, you would readily believe that it was a naturalistically performed indie film.” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review The Falling Sky (2024) 100% B- ““The Falling Sky” bucks the charge that it might easily have been a Doc Short through its enveloping, lustrous cinematography. ” – The Playlist Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Ernest Cole: Lost and Found (2024) 97% B- “Pictures of the persecuted Black people in peril, often surrounded by uniformed officers about to execute an atrocity, horrifyingly recall Nazi Germany.” – The Playlist Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Nutcrackers (2024) 47% C- “David Gordon Green’s rote family drama drowns in clichés & schmaltz.” – The Playlist Sep 9, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% B “Pugh’s a gifted, charismatic performer, demonstrating once again why she is one of the brightest stars in the constellation of Hollywood.” – The Playlist Sep 9, 2024 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 86% B “Get past the opening act, and there are glories to be had – a terrific childhood coming-of-age tale anchored by a star-making turn by Pajak and exceptional dancing by Pajak and Hiddleston.” – The Playlist Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% C+ “An actress capable of bringing forth a more malignant edge might have been able to milk the weirdness harder.” – The Playlist Sep 8, 2024 Full Review
