The Trouble with Jessica (2023) 56% 5.4/10 “Writer-director Matt Winn’s tragicomedy farce revolves around the consequences of an ill-timed death, but he’s so busy intermingling with his reprehensible characters that the film never spares much interest or empathy for the woman in its title.” – Paste Magazine Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 67% 7.5/10 “Havoc is primarily a canvas for Evans to paint in bullet holes and viscera, delivering wave after wave of hilariously over-the-top, comic overkill, at least in its back half. It may very well be the bloodiest Netflix original film ever made.” – Paste Magazine Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Fréwaka (2024) 94% 8.1/10 “A highly subjective horror experience, Fréwaka rarely gives concrete answers as to the reality of what we’re seeing, but that never makes its potent imagery and outstanding performances any less effective.” – Paste Magazine Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Daddy (2023) 5.2/10 “This is a chamber drama more than anything, lacking both the resources and the conviction to really push forward on the ramifications of the dystopian world it has obliquely imagined, almost all of which has been established outside of our sight.” – Paste Magazine Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Dead Mail (2024) 93% 7.9/10 “To think of Dead Mail primarily as a “horror movie” is doing a disservice to its deep, abiding weirdness. There are flashes of nail-biting suspense in this utterly unique feature, but for every sharp intake of breath there’s as much unexpected tenderness.” – Paste Magazine Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer (2024) 81% 6.0/10 “Psycho Therapy is a comedy thriller with some dynamic performances, brought down by a wonky script and incredibly abrupt conclusion.” – Paste Magazine Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% 8.0/10 “It flirts with many genres–Tarantinoesque crime drama, action comedy, hip-hop musical, coming-of-age love story–while demonstrating a consistent warmth toward its subjects and their oddly uplifting stories, many of which are ultimately tales of triumph.” – Paste Magazine Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Secret Mall Apartment (2024) 100% 7.4/10 “It’s tough to watch Secret Mall Apartment and not fall under the spell of Townsend and his earnest collaborators, possessing as they do the righteous conviction of young people in a bygone era who are quite certain that they’re going to change the world. ” – Paste Magazine Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% 6.8/10 “At times arrestingly suspenseful, at others bitterly funny, but often inert in its transitions, Misericordia is an occasionally confounding mixed bag, but one that stands out for the realistic recriminations of a place where grievances run deep.” – Paste Magazine Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Twister: Caught in the Storm (2025) 7.6/10 “The Twister leaves you shivering at the thought of man’s insignificance against the sheer power of the natural world, with a brief denouement for reflection and healing in the wake of catastrophe. ” – Paste Magazine Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Borderline (2025) 56% 6.9/10 “Warden’s film is rather bold in its construction, subverting the expectation of how you would expect this sort of story to be framed, and stylishly infused with both musical gusto and a good number of gags that find their mark.” – Paste Magazine Mar 14, 2025 Full Review The Parenting (2025) 48% 4.8/10 “Craig Johnson’s The Parenting feels like a movie of convenience–one that will lean on the recognizable names and faces for all they’re worth, to distract from a weak screenplay, irritating performances and tepid horror bona fides.” – Paste Magazine Mar 13, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 4.0/10 “The Electric State is one hell of an artistically neutered, sanitized boondoggle, awe-inspiring in its deployment of expensive visuals but largely bereft of any kind of genuine wit, humor, warmth or adaptational deftness. ” – Paste Magazine Mar 12, 2025 Full Review I Really Love My Husband (2025) 92% 7.7/10 “I Really Love My Husband makes its point with admirable swiftness and sharpness, becoming an often quite funny tragicomedy of romantic disaster, illustrative of what happens when two people with deeply unrealistic expectations collide.” – Paste Magazine Mar 8, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% 8.4/10 “The Rule of Jenny Pen delivers no more and no less than what it promises: A deeply creepy, ultimately engrossing battle of wills between two phenomenal lead performers.” – Paste Magazine Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Seven Veils (2023) 77% 6.9/10 “At times, that makes for a film that loses itself in Egoyan’s layers of meta-metaphor, but the steadying presence of Seyfried keeps it from venturing too far into avant-garde opaqueness.” – Paste Magazine Mar 5, 2025 Full Review By Design (2025) 71% 7.3/10 “Kramer’s odd and unclassifiable story is filled with moments of absurdity equally likely to result in delight and consternation, but it remains perplexingly engrossing throughout,” – Paste Magazine Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Stolen Kingdom (2025) 8.0/10 “Stolen Kingdom is effectively an introduction into this bizarre subculture, one that can feel like we’re really just skimming the surface, but the behaviors depicted are so fascinating (and entertaining) that it’s easy to forgive a relative lack of depth.” – Paste Magazine Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Portal to Hell (2025) 5.8/10 “In its efforts to expand its pathos, it loses sight of delivering the splattery genre goods that should have been its highest priority.” – Paste Magazine Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Old Guy (2024) 29% 4.8/10 “Few action comedies, in addition to sidelining action and comedy, also make themselves into experiments in foregoing a true antagonist. But this one does.” – Paste Magazine Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Rounding (2022) 63% 5.3/10 “In Rounding, you can see the basic outline of a worthy psychological drama, but its screenplay fails to turn that vague shape into a fleshed-out story, instead relying on the viewer to fill in the gaps, while the horror elements merely detract.” – Paste Magazine Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 96% 9.0/10 “A wholly original fusion of Iranian cinema and esoteric gags about the banality of life in Winnipeg, it’s a wholly original conceit from start to finish, and simultaneously one of the most unexpectedly funny and poignant films I’ve seen in recent memory.” – Paste Magazine Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Armand (2024) 75% 7.6/10 “At times, Armand threatens to lose itself entirely in the fever dream it conjures, like the film itself is going to reach its combustion point and ignite, but it gets just enough of its disquieting atmosphere across to lodge in the memory all the same.” – Paste Magazine Feb 10, 2025 Full Review The Things You Kill (2025) 96% 8.7/10 “Khatami’s third feature is a doom-laden exploration of identity and masculine fragility, one that displays quite a bit of trust in its audience to piece together its wilder swings without any need for coddling or hand-holding.” – Paste Magazine Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Bubble & Squeak (2025) 35% 4.5/10 “If anyone remembers Bubble & Squeak in the years to come, it will no doubt be for the fact that it contains more utterances of the word “cabbage” than possibly every cumulative feature film to date in the history of cinema.” – Paste Magazine Jan 31, 2025 Full Review
