On Swift Horses (2024) 52% 2/5 “Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter, and Daisy Edgar-Jones portray two brothers and one's soon-to-be bride, all in an early '50s period piece, based on a novel and looking much better than it actually plays.” – JMuvies Apr 26, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 78% 3.5/5 “Their successful return comes along with the same action-packed director and screenwriter (Gavin O'Connor and Bill Dubuque) giving them as many brief and smart conversational moments as longer, rip-roaring confrontations with some seriously bad dudes.” – JMuvies Apr 26, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 4.5/5 “Expert storyteller Coogler and his master crafts team simply overload their screen with '30s-era thrills, gobs of genuinely organic soul music, and an assortment of mashing, smashing genres which all always fascinate and resonate.” – JMuvies Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3/5 “In an equally sizzling and silly smart-phone drama, Fahy and her constant cellular so easily co-exist that much of the situational absurdity likely will be excused by audiences eager to swallow the resulting thrills. ” – JMuvies Apr 12, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 66% 2.5/5 “Thrills remain scarce here, the actual wrongdoing never gets proven, and odd pacing makes much of it look more farcical than fact.” – JMuvies Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Bob Trevino Likes It (2024) 95% 4.5/5 “The plot simplicity of Bob and Lily creating their special connection -- same last name, no relation -- becomes all anyone really needs to expect before simply enjoying this beautiful little film from first-time feature director and writer Tracie Laymon.” – JMuvies Apr 5, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 83% 3.5/5 “The whole book-based shebang, inspired by national award-winning novelist Sigrid Nunez, definitely plays like a Christmas movie to embrace. So, who really knows why someone thought a spring release would work for it? ” – JMuvies Mar 29, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% 4/5 “Director Peter Cattaneo ("The Full Monty") and screenwriter Jeff Pope ("Philomena," "Stan & Ollie") deserve credit, too, for somehow keeping things, uh, waddling along rather nicely.” – JMuvies Mar 29, 2025 Full Review The Assessment (2024) 82% 2.5/5 “Certainly, a somewhat solid ending helps but really provides too little, too late to change the final assessment here” – JMuvies Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 4/5 “ A real doozy of a final half-hour includes perhaps the greatest multi-interrogation sequence of all time.” – JMuvies Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 3/5 “The simple thought of bodily disasters occurring to this lonely banker becomes one thing. But showing how some really bad guys attempt to torture Quaid's courageous character takes more getting used to as the film grows more grotesque as it goes.” – JMuvies Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 3.5/5 “Nowhere near as sensational as Bong's award-winning "Parasite," the filmmaker's long-time-no-see follow-up does have its stunning moments, with Pattinson's ever-"expendable," year 2054 hero dying in oh, so many ways. ” – JMuvies Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 59% 3.5/5 “Let's just call it an occasional hoot with menacing overtones and expect it to grow in stature as the movie years roll by.” – JMuvies Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Superboys of Malegaon (2024) 88% 3/5 “Exceptional early salvos include a clever assortment of cinematic moments mixing boffo Bollywood stuff with the magic of silent-screen star Buster Keaton and '70s action sequences from the legendary likes of Bruce Lee. ” – JMuvies Feb 28, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% 3/5 “King's story might have pursued more symbolic family issues when the horrormeister penned it so long ago, but writer/director Perkins obviously prefers to keep the clever bits of demise coming and going simply for the bizarre gusto of it all. ” – JMuvies Feb 22, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% 2.5.5 “Even if an ending sequence does produce legitimate fireworks, and the very last scene borrows heavily from Bogart-Bacall's classic "Dark Passage," too many empty thrills remain to fill the holes much higher than mediocrity.” – JMuvies Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 2.5/5 “Certainly, the advent of the Disney/Marvel teams connecting for streaming content that only the most rabid MCU fans might have seen leaves this one a bit messy around the plot edges. ” – JMuvies Feb 15, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 3.5/5 “Director Walter Salles smartly mixes in moments of the despairing Paiva clan carrying on without their loving patriarch. Those include an ideally placed cameo by Torres' actress/mother, Fernanda Montenegro.” – JMuvies Feb 8, 2025 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% 4/5 “The stress is enormous throughout much of this epic from director/writer Mohammad Rasoulof, now living in exile following his arrest in Tehran for shooting most of his film in secret locations.” – JMuvies Feb 7, 2025 Full Review You're Cordially Invited (2025) 48% 2/5 “Even before the opening credits roll, a huge, sloppy serving of silliness previews a numbing taste of what's ahead.” – JMuvies Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Vermiglio (2024) 93% 4/5 “All of Delpero's actors are convincing, and cinematographer Mikhail Krichman often captures the allure and stillness of a master painting in what looks, plays, and feels like a genuine arthouse film.” – JMuvies Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 3.5/5 “Director Soderbergh himself does most of the eerie camera work in a watchable little ditty apparently inspired by his own house being haunted. ” – JMuvies Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Unstoppable (2024) 76% 4/5 “Goldenberg's film feels, looks, and smells like inspiration in the form of championship wrestler (an amateur, not a kind of WWE "pro") Robles, a sensationally upbeat guy, born with one leg, and personified by an astonishingly believable Jharrel Jerome.” – JMuvies Jan 18, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 4.5/5 “. . . a doozy of a throwback to what they used to call road-engagement pictures, with an overture, an intermission, enormous running time and, in fact, everything except the reservations we had to make weeks in advance to see an epic such as this one.” – JMuvies Jan 18, 2025 Full Review September 5 (2024) 93% 3/5 “The choice to ignore the ugliness behind the politics seems like a major omission, perhaps particularly for those remembering the 11 departed hostages, including Olympic weightlifter David Berger, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Israel.” – JMuvies Jan 18, 2025 Full Review
