Havoc (2025)
67%
“The cheesy screenplay, shallow characters and wince-worthy acting suggest that Evans might be better suited to specializing in the second unit or action sequences on a major franchise, rather than writing and directing a quasi-dramatic feature.” –

Pink Narcissus (1971)
“Watching “Pink Narcissus” again in its glorious new restoration, I’m seduced all over again by how coy it all seems.” –

Screamboat (2025)
48%
“Screamboat isn’t the first slasher movie to spoof Steamboat Willie, the 1928 animated short that introduced a primitive black-and-white version of Mickey Mouse, but it’s a lot more fun than last year’s The Mouse Trap.” –

“Yousef’s illuminating doc appeals to all sides, from Kinkade’s haters to his most ardent defenders, revealing dimensions altogether absent from his enormously popular oeuvre.” –

A Working Man (2025)
49%
“This wasn’t how I envisioned Ayer’s career shaping up... A few of his movies are very good, but it increasingly feels like he’s recycling old plots, the way straight-to-tape action movies did in the late 20th century.” –

The Alto Knights (2025)

“If there was any doubt as to De Niro’s greatness, it’s laid to rest in these face-to-face confrontations. No star could’ve held his own quite so effectively against De Niro. ” –

The Blue Trail (2025)
“The “Neon Bull” director has always had an incredible visual sense, though his plots tend to lack focus. Not this one.” –

What Marielle Knows (2025)
“Often comical and sometimes scary, the concept should travel well beyond Germany, even if Hambalek hasn’t ironed out all the kinks.” –

Summer of 69 (2025)
“It’s a big step backward from the likes of “Anora” in terms of respecting sex workers, but at least it scores as many laughs.” –

Slanted (2025)

“Wang springs a few clever surprises en route to a fairly predictable, if far from pat ending. Reductive as the outcome may be, the writer-director remains undeniably daring, spinning comedy from an inferiority complex and coming out on top.” –

On Swift Horses (2024)

“It can feel a bit diagrammatic, as if the novelist were setting up impossible loves and then watching them fail. But there’s hope too, and... there’s poetry in watching someone betting their future on yet another horse.” –

“The movie’s razor-sharp visuals leave scratch marks on the back of your eyeballs, liable to burst back into your consciousness in subsequent dreams... Check your brain, and you’ll be just fine.” –

We Are Storror (2025)

“There’s no denying the influence Bay’s splashy hero-worship aesthetic has had on their own shooting style, as they do sky-high tricks so risky, you may clench your eyes to keep from fainting at times.” –

Holland (2025)
21%
““Holland” embeds us largely in its protagonist’s point of view, which isn’t an entirely credible place to spend two hours, but a fun one for those who like teetering in that is-she-crazy-or-is-she-the-only-sane-person-here zone.” –
