The School Duel (2024)
“Todd Wiseman Jr.’s The School Duel makes The Hunger Games look like a walk in the park, just casually violent enough in tone to feel like a forecast for the future.” –

Meet the Barbarians (2024)

“Meet the Barbarians is a movie Americans would be too afraid to make. Even though it takes place in France, its message is universal. I can see why Delpy says it’s her favorite film she’s ever made.” –

The Dating Game (2025)

“The Dating Game is a timely and important study of a specific group of Chinese men in a universal language. Du Feng skillfully tells their story with hilarity and heart, and by the end of the film, you’re rooting for them all to find love.” –

Sally (2025)
79%
“Cristina Costantini’s Sally is part character study, part tribute, part love story. Sally Ride was fearless in the face of heading into the unknown, but when it came to dealing with the things she knew to be true about herself, she struggled. ” –

Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2024)

“As Bruce David Klein’s documentary LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story posits, being the daughter of Judy Garland often held her back. But unlike her mother, Minnelli’s found family of friends saved her from an untimely demise.” –

The Vortex (2025)
“While audiences have grown used to seeing Gardell in lighter roles, most recently on CBS’s comedy Bob Hearts Abishola, the Pittsburgh native demonstrates a real knack for darker fare. The Vortex might be a gamechanger for him.” –

“Babygirl embraces so many things Kidman excels at as an actress: her sensuality, her piercing focus, even her comedic timing [...]. This isn’t just a great Kidman performance; it’s an all-timer.” –

Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid (2024)
100%
“"Carville" meanders in its format (one minute we’re talking Biden, the next we’re headed back to the Ragin’ Cajun’s roots in Carville, Louisiana), but the waltzy stroll through his life is the perfect representation of his style.” –

Sweethearts (2024)
62%
“Weiss and co-writer Dan Brier’s script honors the rat-a-tat patter of Nora Ephron’s banter, and the leads have friendly chemistry, but it’s what’s going on around the couple’s story that makes this a hometown you’ll want to go back to for the holidays.” –

“Struggling to remember this particular news story? That’s an underlying point of this gripping documentary, that Millane’s murder sounds like so many other tragedies of “women doing things alone." [...] Coan’s doc reveals itself like a horror film.” –

The Woman King (2022)

“The Woman King made me think of classic films like Spartacus and how they don’t make movies like this anymore. Then it also made me realize that they’ve never made movies like this for women of color, [. . .] a fresh take on a classic historical epic.” –

Queenpins (2021)
