Bring Her Back (2025)
95%
3/4
““Bring Her Back” belongs in the trapped-in-a-house subgenre of horror, but it has a creepy psychological depth and is filled with disturbing but impressively composed images. It really gets under your skin.” –

“Rudd’s Austin is sometimes a completely different person from scene to scene, as if writer-director Andrew DeYoung were trying to fit the characters to the plot requirements instead of vice versa.” –

4/4
“As the Surfer becomes increasingly desperate in the contest of wills, he becomes unhinged, and in cinema, an unhinged Nic Cage is the best Nic Cage. ” –

Viet and Nam (2024)
100%
2.5/4
“While “Viet and Nam” is filled from beginning to end with outstanding visuals and thought-provoking ideas, it is perhaps too lethargic and, at a little over two hours, overlong. Yet there is still much to enjoy.” –

3/4
““G20” is standard-issue improbable action that’s lifted by EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) award winner Davis, who makes everything better.” –

““The Ballad of Wallis Island” isn’t a great film, and it is exceedingly predictable. But like its musician heroes, it plays its notes well.” –

Holland (2025)
21%
1/4
“Unfortunately, Andrew Sodroski’s script does her no favors, sending the film off in another direction, one that isn’t earned. The second half of this savage take on Midwestern normalcy is nonsensical and at times ridiculously embarrassing.” –

““Young Hearts” is a film that doesn’t traffic in big plot twists or dramatic reveals. It’s a film that treasures fragile thoughts and feelings, rare in a film these days.” –

“What distinguishes "Captain America: Brave New World," blissfully under two hours, is that action is kept to a relative minimum, and the actors are actually allowed to find and deepen their cardboard characters, including Danny Ramirez as Falcon.” –
