Sinners (2025) 98% B+ “Sinners is overambitious at times, [and] the vampire tropes are disappointing, [but] the film delivers its metaphors perfectly.” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% B “It’s The Substance tied to a gothic nightmare. Lea Myren gave a lot of Mia Goth in Pearl vibes. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Sneaks (2025) 33% D “I don’t know what the animation standards are for a theatrical release, [but] Sneaks just doesn’t look good. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% C “The setup for the narrative is ridiculous. It's an action sitcom that sounds like an idea borrowed from a 1980s series like MacGyver. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% C- “Drop takes a somewhat interesting concept and muddies it up with an illogical setup and ridiculous plot twists. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% B- “It's not the kind of American military cinematic propaganda that romanticizes combat, [but] the characters needed to be flushed out more. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 15, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% C- “Movies based on video games have never had a great track record in Hollywood, and A Minecraft Movie isn't an exception. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 12, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 66% C “The retro look was good, [but] Paul Walter Hauser needed a better movie for his performance.” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% C “The really weird monster parts of it were fun, [but] the satire has no bite. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 12, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% C- “Ridiculous. Even the Jason Statham stans have seen this a million times before. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 12, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% C+ “None of the politics went deep enough. Steve Coogan never feels like part of that story.” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 12, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% C “All the emotions in The Friend are only skin deep. ” – The Cinesnob Podcast Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Música (2024) 96% B+ “The romantic comedy genre is given a significant boost of creativity and charm with Música. While there’s some typical rom-com comfort to be found, the movie consciously avoids cliches and plays to its own syncopated beat.” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% B+ “Disturbing ... Shot in somber black and white, Swedish-Polish director and cowriter Magnus von Horn takes viewers into frightening corners where darkness reigns.” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% B+ “Funny and sincere, A Real Pain gives actor Kieran Culkin a foundational character he consumes with his whole heart. ” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% B+ “Part crime thriller, eccentric musical and campy Spanish-language novella ... Emilia Pérez pulls no punches with its incredible visuals and gender- and genre-bending bravado.” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% B+ “Leaves a trail of complex themes about death and despair while offering hope to those who embrace their own oddities.” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% B+ “The animosity and adoration inside the [the characters'] entanglement radiates, and screenwriting newcomer Justin Kuritzkes’ script brims with devilish wit and excitement. ” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% B+ “Writer and director Sean Wang offers a genuine and oftentimes uncomfortable take on boyhood through humor, angst and vulnerability. It’s a familiar narrative, of course, but one that soars above most similar coming-of-age films.” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review September 5 (2024) 93% B+ “Told with palpable urgency and emotion, September 5 is a gripping film about journalists doing their jobs amid high-pressure conditions.” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% A- “A slow-burning, fascinating and unpredictable narrative anchored by a colossal ensemble cast.” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% A- “Hilarious and heartfelt, Mikey Madison is a revelation as the title character dropped into a modern-day, adult version of a romantic fairy tale. ” – San Antonio Current Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 93% A- “An absurdist exploration of bodily autonomy and toxic masculinity, director Yorgos Lanthimos [has] created a weirdly dark and remarkable romantic comedy that also plays like a Frankensteinian monster movie — with orgasms.” – San Antonio Current Dec 30, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% A- “Epic in scale and substance, writer-director Christopher Nolan has arguably produced the best film of his impressive career. He delivers a nuanced script ... and turns a complex and defining moment in history into a pulse-pounding thriller.” – San Antonio Current Dec 30, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% A- “One of the most thought-provoking social commentaries and empowering mainstream comedies in recent years. The “I’m Just Ken” scene should be playing on a loop in the Louvre.” – San Antonio Current Dec 30, 2023 Full Review
