The Wedding Banquet (2025)
88%
“It’s the warmth of Gladstone’s presence that leaves a lasting impression and endows this remake -- with all its reshufflings, inspired or strained -- with a whisper of something authentically new.” –

Sinners (2025)
98%
“Sinners is so atmospheric, richly textured and gorgeous to watch that it's almost a disappointment when it veers into supernatural territory. But if the horror beats prove a touch derivative, Coogler builds suspense with shivery assurance.” –

Warfare (2025)
93%
“Certainly, it is hard to come away from “Warfare,” with its soldiers’ screams still ringing in your ears, and see the American military’s presence in Iraq as anything but a violent, misguided intrusion.” –

The Alto Knights (2025)
40%
“Unfair as it would be to compare “The Alto Knights” to “The Irishman,” some of Scorsese’s mournful grandeur does cling to Levinson’s film by association. In both films, it’s De Niro’s Frankness that keeps you watching.” –

Black Bag (2025)

“Both Soderbergh and Koepp understand the mechanics of genre inside out; they also know that those mechanics, given a proper greasing and a burst of inspiration, can still yield richly pleasurable dividends.” –

On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024)

“Had “On Becoming a Guinea Fowl” been conceived purely as a drama of unearthed memories, unhealed trauma, and thwarted accountability, it would cut to the bone. But Nyoni goes further still.” –

Mickey 17 (2025)
77%
“[Bong Joon Ho's] customarily perfect pitch with actors gets lost, or at least scrambled, in translation. Pattinson deftly dodges this latter trap, and he doesn’t just save the film but deepens it.” –

Paddington in Peru (2024)

“Whishaw, through vocal inflections alone, makes you believe he is every furry inch the earnest, clumsy, well-mannered, not too easily riled Paddington. But “Paddington in Peru” belongs to Olivia Colman.” –
