Audrey's Children (2024) 88% 7/10 “The film has a lot going on, in addition to the incredibly emotional themes of fatal pediatric cancer. Thankfully, director Ami Canaan Mann is able to balance the somber elements with the lighthearted ones.” – Next Best Picture Mar 28, 2025 Full Review The World Will Tremble (2025) 92% 6/10 “Both Jackson-Cohen and Jones turn in compelling work as men on the run who are in a constant state of fight or flight but also determined to tell their Jewish communities still in ghettos what is happening” – Next Best Picture Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Idiotka (2025) 82% 8/10 “With her feature debut, Popov establishes a bold and playful visual identity that will leave audiences eager for her next project. True to fashion, “Idiotka” does, indeed, slay, serve, and survive.” – Next Best Picture Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Queen of the Ring (2024) 73% 5/10 “Maybe, one day, Burke’s story will be retold where a general audience, not die-hard wrestling historians, will be entranced by her legacy. Still, sadly, “Queen of the Ring” is not the knockout that Burke deserves. ” – Next Best Picture Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 6/10 “It plays it safe, sticking to the broad themes Captain America highlights, but still serves as a solid big-screen installment to Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, who is now, finally, front and center (sort of) with the Shield.” – Next Best Picture Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 8/10 “Erivo and Grande are at the top of their game in "Wicked," each deserving of the other's talents and producing phenomenal performances that do justice to the roles fans have been emotionally invested in for many years.” – Next Best Picture Nov 19, 2024 Full Review The World According to Allee Willis (2024) 100% 7/10 “Spraic’s documentary is not only a celebration of Wallis but a celebration of art and creation” – Next Best Picture Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Caddo Lake (2024) 76% 7/10 ““Caddo Lake” is a delightful surprise of this year’s spooky season that will both entertain and move its audience members.” – Next Best Picture Oct 10, 2024 Full Review House of Spoils (2024) 40% 6/10 “"House of Spoils" is an entertaining film to kick off the spooky season as DeBose continues to showcase her skills as a leading lady and is supported by meaty craftsmanship throughout the film.” – Next Best Picture Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Azrael (2024) 71% 6/10 ““Azrael” contains some visually striking and engaging moments of violence and horror, but other than that, it is merely just another revenge movie that doesn’t disclose the narrative’s motive besides her innate survival instinct.” – Next Best Picture Sep 27, 2024 Full Review All Shall Be Well (2024) 96% 7/10 ““All Shall Be Well” is an effective look into family dynamics, class (especially class dynamics within the family), and queerness in Hong Kong.” – Next Best Picture Sep 20, 2024 Full Review The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat (2024) 65% 7/10 “The concept of having two or three close friends to help you grow as a person to be the best version of yourself is a magical one, and “The Supremes at Earl’s-All-You-Can-Eat” depicts just how magical it is to find your tribe.” – Next Best Picture Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Sugarcane (2024) 100% 7/10 ““Sugarcane” is a deeply impactful and heavy film that demands its audience to reflect by showcasing how one school affected the lives of many in a community for generations.” – Next Best Picture Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Running on Empty (2024) 17% 3/10 “What makes “Running on Empty” a challenge to watch is its strange and unnatural tone. It is evident that André, who also serves as the film’s writer, is attempting a dark comedy, but none of that is reflected in the final piece.” – Next Best Picture Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 7/10 “"Deadpool & Wolverine" is a chaotically violent, vulgar, and entertaining time at the movies. It has lots of jokes and amusing set pieces, but it also has a ton of heart behind it, which you can feel coming through all of the actors' performances.” – Next Best Picture Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Dandelion (2024) 75% 6/10 “It is still a fine addition to the “Artistic Struggle” sub-genre of film, but “Dandelion” is more successful in its imagery. It’s quiet and meditative, but for a film of this style with this length, it needs a stronger screenplay to support it.” – Next Best Picture Jul 10, 2024 Full Review 20,000 Species of Bees (2023) 93% 8/10 “The film will speak to anyone who feels they are playing an artificial role in their life or in an internal war of deciding what is true to them versus what may be more comfortable for the rest of the world.” – Next Best Picture Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Winter Spring Summer or Fall (2024) 36% 7/10 ““Winter Spring Summer or Fall” stands out as a unique coming-of-age story, primarily due to the strength of its two leads.” – Next Best Picture Jun 8, 2024 Full Review The Watchers (2024) 33% 6/10 “With a sharp, distinct eye and an unmistakable comprehension of visual storytelling, it is clear that Ishana Night Shyamalan will have a long career directing feature films if she wants it.” – Next Best Picture Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Backspot (2023) 87% 7/10 ““Backspot” is a love letter to competitive cheerleading and the coming-of-age genre, featuring impressive stunt work from its young cast.” – Next Best Picture May 28, 2024 Full Review Boy Kills World (2023) 58% 7/10 “If bonkers R-rated action films are your cup of tea – meaning, if you are a boy between the ages of 12 and 20 – then “Boy Kills World“ is the perfect film for you. For others, it will be far from perfect.” – Next Best Picture Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Irena's Vow (2023) 85% 5/10 ““Irena’s Vow” may seem like a decent introductory piece into Irena Gut Opdyke and may even find a home in high school classrooms. But, on its own, it is another overlong historical film only supported by its female lead.” – Next Best Picture Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Damsel (2024) 56% 6/10 “It’s imperfect and works much better as a horror survival film, but despite its flaws in the third act, it’s still a fun play on the “damsel in distress” trope and coming-of-age drama. ” – Next Best Picture Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Ordinary Angels (2024) 84% 7/10 ““Ordinary Angels” is not a perfect film, but it’s about the average person doing miraculous actions from the goodness of their heart.” – Next Best Picture Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Role Play (2023) 24% 6/10 “Audiences have seen films like it before, and it doesn’t add anything new to the genre. But it is overall an entertaining movie. It is a harmless and cute addition to the spy subgenre that will make a cute pick for an at-home date night.” – Next Best Picture Jan 13, 2024 Full Review
