Blue Moon (2025) 96% “Running a brisk 100 minutes, “Blue Moon” is an unreservedly stagey affair – matching form with content to follow an unhappy man for whom all the world’s a stage right before his curtains fall.” – TheWrap Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “A teen-idol turned auteur-darling turned action-lead, Pattinson could easily call comedy his true calling, here delivering an elastic physical performance as dexterous as Jim Carrey in his prime. ” – TheWrap Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% “Like a sheep in wolf’s clothing, Halina Reijn’s surprisingly genteel Babygirl might bare the occasional fang, but it doesn’t have much bite.” – TheWrap Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “Taken as a whole, The Brutalist both mourns and celebrates American ambition -- the ambitions of an immigrant class trying for a new life with no guarantee of success, and the ambitions of a filmmaker filling a canvas with a lifetime of obsessions. ” – TheWrap Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Nonostante (2024) C+ “If not quite working on the same level as Kore-eda’s 1998 masterpiece, “Nonostante” still circles around similar conclusions, understanding that the artistic urge to capture and enshrine connects to a sentiment commonly offered in mourning.” – IndieWire Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Youth (Homecoming) (2024) 94% B+ “While Youth (Homecoming) certainly benefits from the seven hours of weaving-machine whir that preceded, the film quite ably stands alone. ” – IndieWire Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Broken Rage (2024) 86% B+ “Starting from a drier deadpan before rebooting into unbridled absurdity, Broken Rage is a concise lesson in parody, creating a simple form and then breaking it with the subtle force of a mallet smashing a watermelon.” – IndieWire Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% “Few would mistake Beetlejuice Beetlejuice for a confessional or particularly self-revealing work, but it does hew closer to that original artistic spark that dimmed once the director became a trademark.” – TheWrap Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% “The themes are broad and brassy as the film that explores them, and all the better still.” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% “The film is expertly assembled and sleepily directed all at once; it wows with its imagination and erudition all while leaving you little more than bemused. ” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2024 Full Review All We Imagine as Light (2024) 100% “Taking place almost entirely at night, the film’s Mumbai first-half swings to a jazzy piano score, finding squalor and grandeur as two sides of the same coin.” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2024 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% “Rasoulof channels both the vigor of Iranian youth protesting their repressive state and the violence said state enacts on those who dare to stand up into an allegorical thriller that rarely leaves a middle-class family home. ” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie (2024) 65% “This ballad finds a groove and rides it out, showcasing the director’s chops and the star’s commitment while shining little new light on the ostensible subject.” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Marcello Mio (2024) 50% C “All dressed up with nowhere to go, Marcello Mio uses the lead as a prop for nostalgia and stand-in for this or that Fellini homage. ” – IndieWire May 21, 2024 Full Review The Second Act (2024) 74% B- “With a barely-there narrative even by Dupieux’s own standard, The Second Act still wrangles a few winning reveals, building to a most savage punchline.” – IndieWire May 14, 2024 Full Review Treasure (2024) 42% “The self-contained “Treasure” ambles along on the strength of a fine, self-contained script and two winning performers, without ever reflecting or commenting on the historical weight it sets out to explore.” – TheWrap Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Another End (2024) 29% “Rather than interrogating the very world it creates, “Another End” hews another, easier path, turning around familiar notions of star-crossed romance resonating from beyond the afterlife” – TheWrap Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% “Viewed under the right conditions — that is to say, late at night, in a certain headspace and surrounded by an audience of fellow travelers ready to take the ride – “Cuckoo” will offer an awful lot of big-screen fun. ” – TheWrap Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Small Things Like These (2024) 94% “The quiet register encourages our own reflections on the very moral concerns time and circumstance have made unavoidable in the present day each and every day.” – TheWrap Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Club Zero (2023) 65% “A horror film told in bright lights and marzipan colors, a dark comedy that rarely gets around to making you laugh — writer/director Jessica Hausner’s “Club Zero” is a tough nut to crack.” – TheWrap Nov 14, 2023 Full Review The Taste of Things (2023) 97% “Never has such cheesy dialogue left this reviewer so giddy...don’t forget — cheese is a delicacy in France.” – TheWrap Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Memory (2023) 85% ““Memory” simply cuts through the problem with clipped efficiency, once more shedding prior expectation for a deeper — and deeply moving — third act that finds two broken sorts piecing themselves together again. ” – TheWrap Sep 10, 2023 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% “The comedy is a deliriously entertaining star vehicle for actor Glen Powell” – TheWrap Sep 10, 2023 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% “This being a David Fincher joint, the answers aren’t pretty, while the images are nearly always sublime. ” – TheWrap Sep 3, 2023 Full Review The Palace (2023) 10% “The director’s changing circumstance feels directly relevant to the cast he could assemble for this humorless black comedy, and to the build of unyielding grotesquery that makes the film feel like a giant middle finger to the world.” – TheWrap Sep 2, 2023 Full Review
