Cotton Candy Bubble Gum (2025)

Fantasy Life (2025)
“Any movie that uses both Passion Fish and Lake Bell as punchlines knows exactly at whom it is aiming: Gen X moviegoers who miss Peet as a regular screen presence. It’s also one of the most flagrantly, hilariously Jewish movies in recent memory.” –

“So "Rise" will work for lots of folks. But what once felt expansive now feels hermetic, referring only to itself. That happens sometimes, even to families that once seemed so vital and fascinating to outsiders.” –

“Even beautifully paced, "Ford v Ferrari" is a little too much movie... But most of those 152 minutes are a ton of fun, a splashy look at the way obsession, skill and having each other's backs can produce little miracles.” –
