Sinners (2025) 98% 4.5/5 “Ryan Coogler's visionary direction, coupled with a score destined for accolades, stellar performances, and a deeply layered exploration of racial oppression, cultural identity, and spirituality, elevates this film to the realm of essential viewing. ” – Movie Files Apr 19, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 2.5/5 “While Statham's undeniably watchable presence offer some momentary thrills, the film's reliance on an over-the-top and convoluted plot and its disastrously weak villains ultimately transform it into a ridiculous, and unfortunately forgettable watch. ” – Movie Files Apr 16, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 80% 3.5/5 “This felt like old school film making with a modern lens. There’s definitely a lot of inspiration here and homage being made to things we’ve seen from Amblin films or even studio ghibli, with vibes of labyrinth and the dark crystal meets Coraline. ” – Movie Files Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3/5 “The film confidently establishes itself, knowing exactly what it wants to be and fully committing to the premise for the first act. However, as the story progresses, the initial tension and suspense diminishes once the plot twist occurs. ” – Movie Files Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% 4/5 “While the lack of deep character development is a noted limitation, the film's realistic portrayal of war's brutal and chaotic nature, coupled with its exceptional sound and set design, creates a truly harrowing and unforgettable cinematic experience. ” – Movie Files Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 2/5 “What could have been a magical reimagining of a beloved classic is instead a middling film, with the "Snow White" adaptation's inability to balance character depth and campy flair ultimately detracting from its overall impact. ” – Movie Files Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 2.8/5 “This film over promised and under delivered. Incomplete storytelling, underdeveloped characters, meaningless setups and arc that felt rushed, but more importantly I felt it was a disservice to a character. ” – Movie Files Feb 17, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 2/5 “Although there are some great production elements, they are scarce in relation to the underdeveloped story & characters. This didn’t feel like this was from the creative mind behind Upgrade and The Invisible Man, this was a significant decline for me. ” – Movie Files Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 4.8/5 “In a world where the boundaries between light and darkness, good & evil, are often blurred, Eggers creates a cinematic tragically that is both chilling and profound, a testament to the enduring power of gothic storytelling & the directors unique vision. ” – Movie Files Dec 29, 2024 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 4/5 “A thought-provoking film that explores the complexities of human desire, power dynamics, and the tension between societal norms and personal fantasies. Nicole Kidman's performance is outstanding, and the cast delivers absorbing performances throughout. ” – Movie Files Dec 25, 2024 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 85% 3.5/5 “Sonic 3 delivers on its promise of excitement, adventure, and nostalgia, all while maintaining a clear focus on what makes the franchise beloved. The film shines thanks to its self-awareness, witty humor, and emotionally charged narrative. ” – Movie Files Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3/5 “At its best, Mufasa takes you on a journey that resonates with universal themes of growth, responsibility, and familial bonds. The emotional gravity and facial expressions overall is significantly better in this film than its predecessor in every way. ” – Movie Files Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% 4/5 “Despite its initially romantic premise, Queer ultimately exposes the unfortunate and dangerous consequences of unreciprocated love. The film masterfully blurs the line between affection and complicating the simplistic notions of love. ” – Movie Files Dec 14, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% 2.8/5 ““Although Amy Adams’s performance is strong and vibrant, it simply can’t carry the entire film. What could have been a profound character study becomes a routine narrative that prioritizes predictability over originality." ” – Movie Files Nov 30, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% 3/5 “In a vibrant yet uneven sequel, this offers a charming adventure filled with delightful moments and colorful animation, but it ultimately misses the enchanting heights of its predecessor, leaving you to navigate the waves of nostalgia. ” – Movie Files Nov 26, 2024 Full Review The Piano Lesson (2024) 88% 4.4/5 “With breathtaking performances from Danielle Deadwyler and John David Washington, this film deepens our understanding of family dynamics, cultural legacy, and the balance between personal aspirations and the weight of history. ” – Movie Files Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 4/5 “Crafted with care & ambition, the follow-up to Ridley Scott’s iconic 2000 film has finally arrived & it delivers. Cinematic experience designed not just to ride on the coattails of its predecessor but to stand on its own as an entry worth experiencing. ” – Movie Files Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 3.5/5 “This film adaptation of ‘Wicked’ is a wonderful triumph in many respects, showcasing astounding visuals and vibrant performances that breathe life into the narrative. For those already familiar with the world of Oz, the film offers nostalgic...” – Movie Files Nov 19, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 4/5 “Jesse Eisenberg successfully carves out its niche as one of the best dramedies of the year. The film's ability to intertwine humor with profound themes surrounding grief, identity, and historical context leaves you with a lasting impression. ” – Movie Files Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% 2/5 “There’s some fun ideas and some interesting world building but unfortunately the movie is trying to do way too much and not enough at same time. It never finds the right balance of tone to be a kids movie or mature enough to be for adults.” – Movie Files Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 4.5/5 “In a thrilling fusion of charm & existential dread, HERETIC is this darkly whimsical exploration of faith & reason that not only showcases Hugh Grant's devilishly captivating performance but also propels Sophie Thatcher & Chloe East into the spotlight. ” – Movie Files Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 3.8/5 “Anora's story serves as a resonant cautionary tale layered with the complexities of fake love, ambition, and the search for identity, wrap in a unexpected comedy that shifts into dramatic depiction of lives unexpected false promises.” – Movie Files Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Don't Move (2024) 73% 3.5/5 “This is an engaging yet flawed entry in the horror/thriller genre. It succeeds in creating an atmosphere filled with tension and suspense, anchored by the strong performances of its lead actors. ” – Movie Files Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 2/5 “In a whirlwind of chaotic creativity, Venom The Last Dance emerges as the most entertaining disaster of the trilogy, boldly embracing its bizarre charm. These films aren’t for me but it’ll leave its fans of the series amused by its peculiar tone. ” – Movie Files Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 4/5 “Fiennes commands the screen, embodying a character whose moral compass is relentlessly tested in a high-stakes game of power where every whispered secret holds the weight of eternal consequences. A tantalizing blend of ambition and deceit. ” – Movie Files Oct 21, 2024 Full Review
