Warfare (2025) 93% 5/5 “Together, Garland's virtuosity and Mendoza's first-hand experience create a masterful technical achievement that is, more important, emotionally harrowing.” – BBC.com Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Magic Hour (2025) “Sometimes eloquent and often rocky, Magic Hour is good enough to make you wish it was much less predictable.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 15, 2025 Full Review The Secret of Me (2025) “The music is a minor misstep, jarring throughout... At its best, which is most of the time, The Secret of Me is strong enough not to need anything that artificial. The events and their consequences are powerful enough.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Baby Doe (2025) “Earnshaw’s tone is never polemical, but Baby Doe is definitely a work of advocacy, and her strategy of letting Ritchey and the people who judge her speak for themselves is largely effective. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Sally (2025) 79% “The documentary includes eye-opening interviews with family members and former astronauts and archival video of Ride herself, to create an engaging, socially relevant portrait of an American heroine and of the culture.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Selena y Los Dinos (2025) 93% “The sentiment rings true enough, but the film asserts her cultural importance without really demonstrating it. Selena y Los Dinos remains a slick doc most likely to appeal to her fans.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Prime Minister (2025) 94% “Even with its omissions and glossiness -- a typical side effect of insider access -- Prime Minister’s portrait of Ardern is so persuasive it might make you wish you could vote for her.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 25, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 3/5 “Mangold (who directed the Johnny Cash and June Carter biopic Walk the Line) is too smart to attempt to explain Dylan, so the film sees him from the outside in, through others' eyes. ” – BBC.com Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 4/5 “Full of spectacle and spectacular performances, Gladiator II is by far the best popcorn film of the year.” – BBC.com Nov 11, 2024 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 53% “It is a story of subterfuge, secrets and recognitions hardly ever spoken out loud. And it works much better as an idea than as a film.” – BBC.com Sep 11, 2024 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% 4/5 “She comes with every nepo-baby advantage, but The Last Showgirl proves that Gia Coppola has a true artist's eye and her own rich, distinctive style.” – BBC.com Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% 5/5 “Leigh's strategy of taking us into his characters' world without prelude or explanation, letting the revelations and backstory waft out, help make his films feel authentic. ” – BBC.com Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Bonjour Tristesse (2024) 60% “Chew-Bose makes the daring choice to extend the story beyond the novel and it gives her one of the film’s best episodes, chilling in its revelation of the emotional fallout of Cecile’s actions. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% “Speak No Evil works best when it focuses on the Americans' escalating fears, and collapses near the end... But for a good three-quarters of the way, this Blumhouse production is an entertainingly elevated genre piece.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Went Up the Hill (2024) 88% “Went Up a Hill is, after all, a ghost story, but one shaped in a fresh and artful way by a director who, in his second film, already has the control of a master.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Rebel Ridge (2024) 95% “Rebel Ridge manages to hit the low bar of being competent and watchable. It does have a very appealing look... along with some beautiful wide views of the orange-tinged horizon. Unfortunately, the film itself is as flat at that horizon line.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024) “The entire movie rests on the tiny shoulders and remarkably lifelike performance of Lexi Venter... It is a bold risk to put so much weight on a child’s work, but like so many of Davidtz’s choices here, it also turns out to be shrewd. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 1, 2024 Full Review The Friend (2024) 83% “Directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel have avoided all the pitfalls of adaptation while remaining faithful to the source material... The Friend is just their style, with its beautiful, light-handed approach to big issues.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 1, 2024 Full Review AfrAId (2024) 23% “Chris Weitz (most famously About a Boy and most recently Operation Finale) works hard to make Afraid a smarter-than-average horror movie, but the effort is conspicuous, and in the end the film is bland and obvious.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa (2023) 100% “Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa includes dazzling footage of Lhakpa on Everest, sometimes in snow and ferocious wind. But this engaging, modest and fiercely determined woman’s life is the real point here.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 3/5 “Overall it is middling, but sure to make enough money to keep ketchup and mustard coming back well into their 90s.” – BBC.com Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% 4/5 “The film has been sharply edited for maximum effect, but that doesn't undermine the sincerity and lack of self-pity that runs through these moving, naturally expressed answers, improvised in the men's own words.” – BBC.com Jul 12, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 3/5 “As an emotional journey Day One has its moments. For a supposedly scary movie, it's a little bit sloppy.” – BBC.com Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Darkest Miriam (2024) 85% “Naomi Jaye has taken the unpromising story of a soft-spoken young librarian and turned it into a small wonder of a film, eloquent and captivating. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Rebel Nun (2024) “That story deserves a great documentary. This well-meaning film is far from that. Rebel Nun is pedestrian at its best and cringe-worthy at its faux-arty worst.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 10, 2024 Full Review
