Friendship (2024)

Sinners (2025)
98%
“A phenomenally entertaining picture and a remarkable feat of cinematic craftsmanship. It’s as funny as it is romantic as it is scary, with a thematic density matched only by its unrelenting pace. It’s hopeful, it’s sad, it’s upsetting, it’s joyous. ” –

Wolf Man (2025)

“It’s a bit undercooked, and at times it feels like it’s rushing to get to the end credits, but it finds a completely new thematic structure to which werewolf mythology can be applied. For that alone it gets high marks. ” –
