Havoc (2025) 67% 1/5 “Havoc is a loud movie that tries to hide its stupidity by amping up the volume... By the end, it just feels exhausting, and not in the fun way.” – Toisto.net Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Until Dawn (2025) 52% 4/5 “Until Dawn is a classy throwback to simpler times. It knows who it plays for and how. That deserves praise.” – Toisto.net Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 78% 1/5 “This is a thoughtless and casually cruel picture that doesn't even have the courage to be upfront about it. It's an unpleasant and insulting experience that made this autistic person deeply uncomfortable.” – Toisto.net Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 5/5 “Black Bag is the kind of deliriously fun, sexy, and smooth film people say doesn't get made anymore. It doesn't make a lick of sense if you think about it, but this horny take on Agatha Christie tropes is so much fun, I found myself not caring one bit.” – Toisto.net Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 5/5 “For almost two and a half hours, director Ryan Coogler weaves together a spellbinding and mythic epic that breathes new life into the genre. Sinners is a work of exquisite craftsmanship that triumphantly recontextualizes folklore with human evil.” – Toisto.net Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse (2024) 100% 4/5 “[This] is such a gentle and compelling portrait that I felt nourished just having seen it. Filmed over the course of multiple years, Disaster Is My Muse feels like a visit from an old friend. ” – Toisto.net Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Stranger (2025) 2/5 “It doesn’t quite work, but that also doesn’t mean the next one won’t. Hedegaard knows what do with his camera. Once the material clicks as well, we’re in for something special. This just isn’t it.” – Toisto.net Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Escape From the 21st Century (2024) 5/5 “Supremely funny, often exciting, and unexpectedly moving, Escape From the 21st Century is a wild sci-fi ride that has to be seen to be believed. ” – Toisto.net Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Night Call (2024) 81% 4/5 “Night Call, the directorial debut from Michiel Blanchart... is a breathless and intense thrill ride through Belgium over the course of a single, chaotic night. Written and directed with such confidence you’d never believe it was a first feature.” – Toisto.net Mar 28, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% 4/5 “Blichfeldt has the natural makings of a great satirist, who understands when to torture the audience just a little bit more than is necessary. Whatever she makes next, I’ll be first in line to see.” – Toisto.net Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 2/5 “Novocaine is a one-trick pony that milks said equine to the point of malnutrition. It has as much setup for its action as a Super Mario game, and asks us to go along with it for almost two hours of nonstop cartoon hi-jinks.” – Toisto.net Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 2/5 “This is a film that tries very hard to not take risks or even acknowledge that risks exist. The result is a hodgepodge of awful CGI, contrived new songs, and a story full of plot and lacking in substance.” – Toisto.net Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 1/5 “In its original form, The Electric State is a work of exquisite and smart alternative history. As a film, it’s a waste of everyone’s time and energy. ” – Toisto.net Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 5/5 “Mickey 17 plays like a mix between Okja and Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausiica of the Valley of the Wind. It’s a smart film that plays up its ludicrous stupidity to make a point.” – Toisto.net Mar 6, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% 4/5 “A lesser filmmaker would paint this as a story of failures, which it isn’t. It’s a story of survivors who make the best of what they’ve got, even as the world takes more away.” – Toisto.net Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% 4/5 “A surprisingly likable and thrilling romantic actioner that works because we care about the lead pairing. It helps that they’re played by Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, who could make reading the phone book titillating.” – Toisto.net Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 5/5 “This is a wholesome, heartwarming film that reminds us that happy endings take many forms... Once more, it feels like Bridget was always there for us. Now that she’s back, it’s like seeing an old friend all over again.” – Toisto.net Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 3/5 “Mackie, who is as magnetic and charming as ever, rises to the challenge and there is no question that he's the kind of hero we would love to follow for future adventures.” – Toisto.net Feb 12, 2025 Full Review How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024) 98% 5/5 “This is a remarkable film, full of life and happiness and sorrow, that will live with me as long as I'm around. I loved every minute of it, and look forward to crying with it again soon.” – Toisto.net Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% 3/5 “Maria is a good film, but not a momentous one. To quote the script back itself, "I don't hear Callas". Instead, it's a beautiful portrait of a moment in time that overexplains itself. Something that Maria probably would never have done.” – Toisto.net Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 88% 2/5 “An ugly and cynical vanity film produced and starring the subject himself. What's worse is that Better Man pretends to not be what it is, but it puts on a smarmy self-pitying show in an attempt to dispel any criticism of shallowness in the process.” – Toisto.net Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 4/5 “Paddington in Peru is the third outing of Britain's most famous bear, and while it doesn't reach the heights of the second one, it's still a lovely and heartfelt film that anyone can enjoy.” – Toisto.net Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 62% 1/5 “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is a film so bloated and off-putting you'd think it was tailor-made for Steven Seagal.” – Toisto.net Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 2/5 “I think Whannell is a talented director in search of better material. He'll find it one day, and when that happens, we're in for something truly special. Wolf Man isn't it, and what a shame that is.” – Toisto.net Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 4/5 “Babygirl is fascinating. We rarely see these topics explored in films that play on a Friday night at the cinema. We should, and it's a crime that we don't, but here we are.” – Toisto.net Jan 9, 2025 Full Review
