Friendship (2024)
89%
“With “Friendship,” DeYoung hasn’t just called his audience to look at how they approach their own relationships; he’s created a film that men can see together that demands a discussion afterward. ” –

I Know Catherine, the Log Lady (2025)
100%
“There’s no getting around the fact that a fair amount of the documentary is slapdash... But there’s also a strange charm to the film’s scrappiness. ” –

Drop (2025)
84%
“As we watch Violet juggle her anxieties, “Drop” shrewdly reminds viewers of how women are expected to perform in public without being seen as “crazy.” ” –

Sacramento (2024)
84%
““Sacramento” might not be about California’s capital per se, but it perfectly reflects the latent magic so many people have experienced in the city it’s named for, and the bonds people forge there.” –

Death of a Unicorn (2025)
54%
“Eating the rich has never been quite so putrid a task as watching Death of a Unicorn, a truly toothless satire that I’d struggle to even deem “half-baked.”” –

Black Bag (2025)
96%
“Movie-watching at its finest, in that its wealth of espionage intrigue is bound to be as enjoyable on a plane or on that comfy couch as it is in the theater. Just make no mistake: This is the most delightful moviegoing experience you can have this year.” –

“Pattinson’s malleable performances as two warring Mickeys gracefully complement Bong’s playful sensibilities to make “Mickey 17” one of the most galvanizing cinematic experiences this year.” –

The Monkey (2025)
78%
“As long as the jokes are funny, there’s plenty of space for humor in horror. But the film’s scattershot writing leaves its punchlines hitting dead air before falling smack against the floor. ” –

Companion (2025)
93%
“Even going in blind couldn’t save a movie like “Companion,” which has been so clearly inspired by recent films of a similar ilk that its attempt at a thesis statement shrinks from banal to downright offensive.” –

Presence (2024)
88%
“As fascinating as the film is in technical form, it’s screenwriter David Koepp’s script that makes “Presence” a real draw. His writing is thorny and cuts deceptively deep, like a scrape that looks like a surface wound until it won’t stop bleeding. ” –

I'm Still Here (2024)
97%
“How often do we get to watch a movie and recognize the unmistakable geniality that adorns a mother’s love? Rarely do we witness a performance that’s so unembellished and yet so memorable and moving. ” –

“It’s impossible not to be enchanted by Anderson’s compassionate turn, and her tender work makes it all the more heartbreaking to watch Shelly refuse to go quietly into the night.” –

Hard Truths (2024)
95%
“Hard Truths is a film for a world that has only gotten angrier, yet its prolific central collaboration cleverly suggests that enduring mutual respect is a force powerful enough to combat such profound rage.” –

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024)
48%
“There is never a moment where “Rohirrim” fully comes into its own. And though it’s finely animated, the film is plagued by the nagging feeling that it exists merely to extend Warner Bros.’ copyright.” –

Nickel Boys (2024)
91%
“In a movie that doesn’t rely on its performances to prove its worth, Ellis-Taylor still manages to say so much in a relatively short time in front of the camera. Nickel Boys deftly embeds this warmth inside its core like a glowing jewel. ” –

Our Little Secret (2024)

“While “Our Little Secret” is a decent movie -- undoubtedly the best of Lohan’s three Netflix films -- it’s only a sizzle reel compared to what she could do next.” –

Queer (2024)

“For a director who has spent his entire career portraying the splendor and sadness of love in equal measure, Guadagnino’s third act isn’t shocking so much as it is thoroughly touching.” –

Wicked (2024)

“Chu takes a stab at making a blockbuster for our times, one that doesn’t shy away from contending with the darkness of contemporary politics and society. Though Chu doesn’t always hit the mark, Wicked consistently dazzles.” –

MaXXXine (2024)

“A brilliantly self-referential text that offers endless points of study and heaps of blood-soaked, femme fatale belligerence.” –

Danger in the Dorm (2024)
“Surprisingly, Frankel’s talent holds down this modest little piece of cable camp. Alright, maybe she can’t cry on cue. But although her tear ducts may have dried up, Frankel’s talent and appeal have not.” –
