Sinners (2025)
98%
“in spite of its many recognizable allusions to other movies...there’s nothing like Sinners. It’s as wild, at times, as an idea that emerged directly from the id and was never revised. I recommend it based on that fact alone.” –

Warfare (2025)
93%
“Warfare is all played straight, almost as straight as the hilarious Dr Strangelove... But sadly, in this case, humorlessness in representing American madness doesn’t connote black comedy, just more phony war-is-hell theatrics.” –

A Minecraft Movie (2025)
48%
“A Minecraft Movie is tired, perhaps because this overworked material has been in development in Hollywood since 2014, with innumerable writers and directors trying to make something movie-like out of it.” –

I'm Still Here (2024)
97%
“Clearly for Brazilian audiences, the ongoing political volatility there makes the film seem all too relevant. And our own political precarity in the United States makes I’m Still Here positively haunting.” –

The Gorge (2025)

“This was never going to be a film for the ages, obviously, but something weirder and pulpier might have kept the plot boiling along with a chance at some less innocuous conclusion.” –

Love Hurts (2025)
19%
“The script by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard, and Luke Passmore, and the direction by newcomer and ex-stunt coordinator Jonathan Eusebio...are so weak that the resulting film probably wouldn’t have worked for anybody.” –

“The Brutalist is a big and bold story of the immigrant experience and the postwar American dream. It’s confounding yet always interesting — a heartening thing in these cinematically tough times.” –

“With a modest budget but plenty of thrills involving spooky 19th-century ships, frozen wastelands, and ghouls from Nordic folktales, The Damned proudly carries on our Gothic horror revival.” –

Nosferatu (2024)
84%
“In general, this reversion to the folkloric serves Eggers well. And though there are weaker aspects of Nosferatu, mostly concentrated in the second half of the film, when Count Orlok is in Wisborg, the stronger scenes are the ones that stay with you. ” –
