The Chronology of Water (2025)
B+
“The Chronology of Water can -- and repeatedly does -- churn itself to a forbidding standstill, and yet Poots makes every moment of it ecstatic in its immediacy. ” –

Eddington (2025)
59%
A-
“Aster’s fourth feature is less effective as a shock to the system than it is for how vividly -- and how uncomfortably -- it captures the day-to-day extent to which our digital future has stripped people of their ability to self-identify their own truths. ” –

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025)
80%
C
“For all of its focus on tying its franchise together, “The Final Reckoning” -- irrevocably knocked off its axis by the act one decision to separate Ethan from the rest of his team -- struggles to strike the right balance between context and conflict” –

Sound of Falling (2025)
90%
A-
“Somehow both hyper-subjective and hauntingly disembodied all at once, Schilinski’s recursive second feature floats through the decades like an errant thought hoping to find someone who might recognize it as one of their own. ” –

B-
“If this simple and relatively spirited return to basics is definitely a step in the right direction for the MCU, that direction is still “backwards.”” –

Havoc (2025)

B-
“Rote as Evans’ plot might be, and wasteful as its treatment of certain characters definitely is, he has a well-developed ear for ice-cold gangster speak, and he isn’t afraid to make people pay a steep price for their penance. ” –

““The Bullet Train Explosion” might not offer anything close to the suspense of “Speed” (despite the fact that it moves significantly faster), but it does Takaichi proud by getting the job done, in spite of its faults. ” –

Sinners (2025)
97%
B+
“A bloody, muscular, barrelhouse of a vampire movie that throbs like the neck of a blues guitar on fire, Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” might be the first story the “Creed” director has ripped straight from his own guts.” –

The Amateur (2025)
60%
C+
“An aggressively competent spy thriller that has less use for logic than its lead actor does for his smile... the film makes a compelling enough case to sustain itself across the entire television season’s worth of plot that it packs into two hours.” –

Hell of a Summer (2023)

B-
“The cast keeps the energy up throughout, the goofy but resolute Hechinger most of all, and it never fails to amuse that each of the characters only cares about the murders so far as they reflect their own self-image.” –

“Black — whatever his charms, and regardless of how well they’re deployed here — is a living testament to the idea that people can still thrive by staying true to their own expression. If not in this world, then perhaps in one of their own design. ” –

“"Warfare" is a film that wants to be felt more than interpreted, but it doesn't make any sense to me as an invitation -- only as a warning created from the wounds of a memory.” –

Julie Keeps Quiet (2024)

A Working Man (2025)

C+
“Underwhelming as many of the action setpieces are in this movie, “A Working Man” more than makes up for that on the strength of its deep and memorable supporting cast, a rogues’ gallery of deviant weirdos.” –

“Reworked from Yeon’s comic of the same name (co-written by Choi Gyu-seok), “Revelations” is the kind of layered yet messy adaptation that results from someone trying to find new ways of telling a story they’ve almost thought to death already.” –

Black Bag (2025)

“Soderbergh’s aversion to giving audiences what they want -- and the severe angularity that he tends to offer us now instead -- is almost as rewarding here as it was utterly indefensible in Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” –
