The Chronology of Water (2025) “Actors turning to directing is nothing new, but it’s unlikely you’ve seen a performer’s directorial debut as boldly confident and emotionally precise as Kristen Stewart’s “The Chronology of Water.” ” – TheWrap May 16, 2025 Full Review The Little Sister (2025) “As her character begins to explore her sexuality, faith, and future, Melliti makes the most of every moment, speaking volumes even in the scenes where she has little to no dialogue.” – TheWrap May 16, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 100% “Even when the film can get tangled up in subplots that don’t quite have the same impact as all the moments we get with the main trio finding a new path forward, it still mostly holds together.” – TheWrap May 15, 2025 Full Review Secret Mall Apartment (2024) 98% 3/4 “Secret Mall Apartment both is and isn't about a secret mall apartment, though the film becomes much like the home the group made: a way of carving out a space for connection where there otherwise is none.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) May 15, 2025 Full Review Death Does Not Exist (2025) “Though “Death Does Not Exist” is a rather short feature, running only 72 minutes, it is a film of big ideas and expansive existential questions. Even when the presentation is simple, it carries a quietly poetic power.” – TheWrap May 15, 2025 Full Review Sons (2024) 75% “Sons is the feel-bad film of the fest that, for all its bleak reflections about violence, punishment, and humanity, ends up saying surprisingly little.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 14, 2025 Full Review Mongrels (2024) “As one part fades into the next, hitting plenty of familiar coming-of-age beats, the portrait it tries to paint never quite comes into focus as beautifully as the visuals do.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 14, 2025 Full Review U Are the Universe (2024) “It’s a love story of sorts with plenty of mirth, but also a mournful meditation, ripping the air from your lungs when it counts.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 14, 2025 Full Review April (2024) 95% “It's a formally audacious work whose stunning visuals are given that much more life by its stellar sound design.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) May 14, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 89% “Never could the story be described as a series of sketches haphazardly stitched together as many comedies can fall into being. It looks and feels like a drama that is coming apart at the seams as Robinson careens his way through it.” – TheWrap May 5, 2025 Full Review The Surfer (2024) 86% 3/4 “A film that rivals George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa in terms of how it turns Australia into even more of a stiflingly hot hellscape than it already is, The Surfer is a film less watched than it is endured.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) May 1, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 1.5/4 “Thunderbolts* is leaps and bounds better than the studio's other movie from this year, the baffling Captain America: Brave New World, but that's damning with faint praise.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) May 1, 2025 Full Review Until Dawn (2025) 53% 5/10 “Unlike the source material, this movie doesn’t successfully unite various flavors of onscreen terror as much as it haphazardly smashes them together.” – IGN Movies Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 78% “You can practically feel the meticulous textures of the team’s creations. But the journey itself largely slips through your fingers. No matter how you try to hold tight to its promise, it amounts to very little.” – TheWrap Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Encampments (2025) 94% 3/4 “Crafted with a clarity of purpose that ensures it moves beyond the reductive headlines to highlight the students' motivations and solidarity, its timeliness provides merely one part of its resonance.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Sacramento (2024) 84% 3/4 “The jokes that the duo tease out, including one great gag we see glimpsed through the window of a restaurant, blend together with a loving yet not uncritical portrait of the two men.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 60% 1.5/4 “Where Mr. Robot was an honest confrontation with the forces consuming the world and gave Malek more to work with, The Amateur is a mission failure on both counts.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Hell of a Summer (2023) 53% “Even as it strives to be a “Friday the 13th” meets “Wet Hot American Summer” romp, it lacks the punch of either of these respective genre classics. Instead, for all it throws at you, it’s neither consistently funny nor scary enough to leave a mark. ” – TheWrap Apr 4, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% .5/4 “For a film that constantly insists its world is one of boundless creative potential and pure imagination, it's almost impressive how painfully uninspired A Minecraft Movie is. It may yearn for the mines, but you'll merely wish for death to end its misery.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% 2.5 “It isn't as deep as the book, with many of the film's supporting characters getting short shrift, but Watts is able to weather these narrative storms enough to make The Friend still grab hold of you.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Assessment (2024) 82% 3/4 “Vikander, whose still astounding work in the modern sci-fi classic Ex Machina feels most relevant to some of what she is doing here, is a menace in the best possible sense with layers upon layers to her performance. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Ash (2025) 72% 2/4 “For all the bursts of nightmarish gore that invade Riya's mind, it's the moments in between this where the film starts to stall and undercut itself. ” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review It Ends (2025) 100% A- “It’s a simple yet effectively haunting work that’s well-shot, written, and acted across the board, especially for a first feature that takes on as much as this does.” – The Playlist Mar 16, 2025 Full Review The Astronaut (2025) 45% C- “While a sci-fi horror starring Kate Mara as a troubled astronaut put through tests in an isolated home after a mission to space leads to her crashing back down to Earth could sound interesting in theory, the execution here falls far short of the mark.” – The Playlist Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 1.5/4 “Novocaine is a film that takes great pains to keep things moving — including in a ludicrous, laborious conclusion — yet never has earned fun reveling in the journey to get there. Nate may finally feel something, but we as the audience never fully do.” – The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Mar 13, 2025 Full Review
