The Monkey (2025) 78% 9/10 “Audiences may not have expected The Monkey to be the most emotional horror film of 2025 so far – but that’s exactly what it is, in the best possible way.” – CBR Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 7/10 “More than anything else, it feels human -- and that's the most memorable thing that the film leaves its audience with. Rather than scares or cliffhangers, it provides viewers with something far more compelling.” – CBR Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 8/10 “A bonafide feminist battle cry.” – CBR Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% 5/5 “Altogether exhilarating and horrifying—a totally Lanthimos experience. ” – Dread Central Dec 22, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 5/10 “Chalamet’s performance is only ever a shell of Dylan; His passion and purpose, the one he found in the very folk music this biopic zeroes in on, isn’t there.” – CBR Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 10/10 “A beautiful mosaic of uphill battles, life lessons, and immense love.” – Next Best Picture Oct 25, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 8/10 “A Real Pain is a hilarious and tender drama that shows us that truly living is the only way to honor those we've lost.” – IGN Movies Oct 23, 2024 Full Review V/H/S/Beyond (2024) 90% 9/10 “Goes gloriously for broke, taking its sci-fi conceit to the stratosphere with smart found-footage directing, killer writing, gnarly effects, top-notch acting, and concepts that feel more fresh than ever.” – Next Best Picture Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Terrifier 3 (2024) 78% 7/10 “The most intense, engaging, and shockingly fun time we've had in Miles County. ” – Next Best Picture Oct 7, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% “West’s final entry into the modern horror canon seamlessly comes to a confident and glorious close, a star immortalized in her bloody triumph of the self.” – Inverse Jun 26, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 8/10 “Sure, it’s an exaggerated and somewhat obvious film, but that doesn’t make director Coralie Fargeat’s point any less true -- nor does it detract from the tremendously gory way in which she makes it. ” – IGN Movies May 24, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 9/10 “Baker cuts straight to the feeling -- and because of his fearless filmmaking, this career-best film, in all its crushing and chaotic glory, demands to be felt.” – IGN Movies May 23, 2024 Full Review The Surfer (2024) 88% 8/10 “With a poignant undercurrent that jabs a finger at our classist society and a set of twists and turns fit for a late-night screening, Cage’s latest thrill ride is a rebirth of epic proportions.” – IGN Movies May 21, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 10/10 “Weaving together top-notch worldbuilding, an emotionally resonant directorial eye, searing performances, sharp cinematography, and a Hell-raising score, this is a remarkable hero’s journey.” – IGN Movies May 15, 2024 Full Review The First Omen (2024) 83% “An engrossing trip into the dark heart of evil and what it means to be chosen by the cruel hand of fate — and surprisingly, it lives up to the strength, power, and overarching dread of its source material.” – Inverse Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% “It’s clear Williams knows how to tell a story and with “Lisa Frankenstein” as her first wacky and wonderful calling card, there’s no denying she is a filmmaker to watch.” – TheWrap Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Madame Web (2024) 11% “Not only is the latest addition to the Marvel canon lacking a true emotional core, it’s devoid of many key elements that make a movie successful in the translation from the screen to the audience’s psyche. ” – TheWrap Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Black Box Diaries (2024) 98% “In this vital interrogation of systemic injustice, Ito shows us all that it is possible to survive something that feels insurmountable.” – TheWrap Jan 21, 2024 Full Review The Outrun (2024) 82% “The story is admirable, and between that and the two leading performances it makes you want to see the narrative through to the end. But once the credits roll, the film starts to register as muddled and somewhat shapeless.” – TheWrap Jan 20, 2024 Full Review Veni Vidi Vici (2024) 57% “This sensational film is a mirror to society—and we’ve got some looking to do.” – TheWrap Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Power (2024) 79% “One of the most powerful documentaries ever put to film” – TheWrap Jan 19, 2024 Full Review The Remarkable Life of Ibelin (2024) 97% “Through films as touching and powerful as these, there is hope we can continue on our own journeys following a truly selfless example.
