Havoc (2025)
66%
“With Havoc, what you see is what you get: non-stop fight scenes with just enough plot to keep you emotionally invested. It may not have a setting or much worldbuilding, but that doesn’t matter — you’re there to watch Tom Hardy, well, wreak havoc.” –

The Electric State (2025)
15%
“Underneath its samey story and MCU-quip-a-thon dialogue is something that’s increasingly rare to find in movies with a similar standing: originality.” –

Time Cut (2024)
24%
“Netflix’s latest horror movie manages to avoid being boring by not only including a twist in the basic premise, but multiple plot twists throughout to keep you on your toes.” –

“Bright, cheery, and floral, but it never lets you forget that as normal as its environment looks, it’s full of terror.” –

Uglies (2024)
16%
“A series of glossy montages and sleek aesthetics, none of which can hide the clunky dialogue, simplistic worldbuilding, and questionable CGI.” –

The Instigators (2024)
41%
“With an all-star cast and a pretty solid premise, it should be hard to mess up, but The Instigators’ shaky script and confusing directing choices turn what could have been a return to form into another nail in a coffin.” –

The People's Joker (2022)
96%
“Its distinct style and coherent worldbuilding make for a movie that can’t really be compared to anything else, despite the fact so much of it is borrowed from the works of Batmen past — and it’s exactly what jaded superhero fans need to witness.” –

The Animal Kingdom (2023)
83%
“The film takes its X-Men-style message of the superpowered being discriminated against, and treats it with the sincerity of any fledgling indie coming-of-age movie.” –

Self Reliance (2023)

The Artifice Girl (2022)
92%
“This movie recognizes that AI is scary and intimidating, but it also recognizes how that fact says more about human nature than it does some looming technological overlord... It’s this humanity that this film touches on, and then twists deliciously.” –

The Mother (2023)

“It’s clear that Jennifer Lopez is giving her all and that Niki Caro makes some really interesting (though possibly distracting) lens choices, but the story falls apart from the beginning.” –
