Alpha (2025) 57% A- “Alpha is contrived with abstractions and despair, never letting go until you do; like grief, you must let go to stop the emotional bleeding. But it is a maneuver so personal and pensive that you can’t help but accept this dance with death for two hours.” – InSession Film May 23, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 94% B “Tsou may elevate the drama with various plot scenarios that each member of this family goes through. Yet, Left-Handed Girl feels authentic and raw, with each secret kept and lie told paving the way for these characters’ respective progressions.” – InSession Film May 22, 2025 Full Review Die, My Love (2025) 85% B+ “The violent or brash moments aren’t even the ones that feel the most dangerous; the tender and gentle scenes have a trepidation to them.” – InSession Film May 22, 2025 Full Review Adam's Sake (2025) - - B “Adam’s Sake is not a revelation in the same way as Playground was, but it affirms Laura Wandel as a filmmaker of striking empathy and formal precision.” – InSession Film May 22, 2025 Full Review Sirat (2025) 100% B+ “It’s sun-scorched, soul-searching, and stress-inducing, but ultimately unforgettable and admirable.” – InSession Film May 20, 2025 Full Review Her Will Be Done (2025) - - B- “Kowalski lets the camera linger for enough time on the disturbing scenes to make the viewer uneasy, and nearly always she succeeds in doing so.” – InSession Film May 20, 2025 Full Review Reedland (2025) - - C “The tension and atmosphere carefully built during the first act are thrown away. These incomprehensible changes in tone taint the film’s most effective element.” – InSession Film May 20, 2025 Full Review Mirrors No. 3 (2025) 92% A- “Mirrors No. 3 is elliptical as Petzold moves his minor-key symphony of human connection into profoundly moving territories. Its fleeing nature creates echoes that linger as you deconstruct each character’s mask.” – InSession Film May 19, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 83% C- “And while there are things to like and appreciate, Nouvelle Vague ultimately ends as trite” – InSession Film May 19, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 67% D “You can feel Aster’s anger and urgency in interviews, but on screen, that passion translates into excess, not insight.” – InSession Film May 19, 2025 Full Review Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025) 76% C- “One More Time with Feeling and This Much I Know to Be True are going to stand the test of time, but I don’t think Andrew Dominik’s most recent musical venture, Bono: Stories of Surrender, will, or, at the very least, leave a lasting impression.” – InSession Film May 18, 2025 Full Review Death Does Not Exist (2025) 83% B+ “It unravels with thorough abstraction, utilizing elements from filmmakers like Philippe Grandrieux and Jan Švankmajer, although not to the extent of being grotesque or highly absurd with its creations.” – InSession Film May 15, 2025 Full Review Pink Floyd at Pompeii (1972) 100% A- “Serves not only as a gift to the band, giving us this lovely music, but also as a commentary on the music industry of today. The artistic practices seen in the film are as antiquated as the relics seen in Pompeii.” – InSession Film Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Magic Farm (2025) 49% C- “Magic Farm aims for sharp satire but falls short, settling instead for caricature.” – InSession Film Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% D “The charm and magic that oozed from the lovely tunes like “Whistle While You Work” don’t blend well with the new elements brought to the table.” – The Movie Buff Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Baby Invasion (2024) 40% C- “Baby Invasion is highly frustrating and occasionally headache-inducing, but its technical execution is undeniably unique. ” – InSession Film Apr 1, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% 2.5/5 “The syrupy tone of David Siegel and Scott McGehee’s The Friend prevents the film from garnering real, genuine emotion.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 29, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% D “While “Novocaine” does have some sparks in its fight sequences and gets bloody when it needs to, the film loses its sense of self by stretching the “painless” vigilante concept way too thin.” – The Movie Buff Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Kontinental '25 (2025) 100% B+ “No subtext or metaphors exist, only cold-face truths through evocative, daring screenwriting. It gives Kontinental ‘25 a sense of urgency and importance.” – InSession Film Mar 19, 2025 Full Review @Amor (2025) - - 2.5/5 “Ironically, the marketing material for Arroba Amor delves deeper into the modern dating scene than Mullen does in the film’s ninety-three minutes.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% C- “The way Bong introduces the political commentary in Mickey 17 comes with such a weak force from the start that it leaves the viewer more than frustrated with the presentation.” – The Movie Buff Mar 17, 2025 Full Review The Ice Tower (2025) 79% B+ “Casting a spell onto the audience, Hadžihalilović once again puts you in a trance, guiding you into a story of yearning and social indoctrination between reality and fantasy.” – InSession Film Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Trouble Every Day (2001) 57% 4.5/5 “By removing the supernatural excesses of the vampire mythos, Denis distills it down to something profoundly human and affectionate: the uncontrollable need for intimacy turning into self-destruction.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 95% B “Blichfeldt’s tonal control and utilization of genre convictions are so effective that you go along with the ride and its full unmasked commentary on aging, beauty standards, identity, and female independence.” – InSession Film Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 47% F “When the most interesting side of the story flounders right out of the gate, the rest of “Brave New World” has to offer the same old stuff.” – The Movie Buff Feb 21, 2025 Full Review
