Havoc (2025)

2/4
“A movie that never quite feels real and where the relentless barrage of bullets feebly attempts to distract us from the lazy screenwriting. Even the Christmas snow looks fake.” –

4/5
“Hindsight, and appreciation of the new coat of paint George Lucas has lovingly applied to his brainchild, has brought me closer to being a Star Wars admirer, if still not a devout fan.” –

Sinners (2025)

3.5/4
“This is horror with a sense of purpose and an appreciation of music and history, grooving the body and gnawing at the conscience even as it nibbles on the neck.” –

“The movie takes a grown-up absurdist’s approach to adapting a kid’s video game for the big screen, with mostly entertaining results that should appeal to more than just squares.” –

Death of a Unicorn (2025)

1/4
“This comedy-horror hybrid, the feature debut of writer-director Alex Scharfman, is barely funny, rarely scary, often cruel, and balks at the opportunity to say anything meaningful.” –

“De Niro’s solid acting contrasts nicely with the appealing looseness of Levinson’s direction, which relies more on characters to set the mood, rather than extravagant locations or action set pieces.” –

“Imagine if someone were foolish enough to blow a reported $320 million (U.S.) on a dystopian update of The Wizard of Oz in which Dorothy is surrounded by multiple Tin Men but no Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion or Toto. That clanking calamity regrettably exists.” –

“Mickey 17 leaves us feeling like we’ve been cloned ourselves, split between admiration for Bong’s audacious vision and frustration at its muddled execution.” –

Last Breath (2025)

2/4
“This version has many nail-biting moments, with tension amped up by a bombastic score, but it feels derivative. Drama has been sacrificed to verisimilitude, and to what end?” –

Parthenope (2024)

“Parthenope, Paolo Sorrentino’s latest cinema exuberance, flutters like its recurring motif of a silk scarf caught in a Mediterranean breeze -- tantalizing, yet just out of reach.” –

Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025)

3.5/4
“Not much footage exists of early Led Zeppelin shows, and what there is often resembles Impressionist paintings when blown up to IMAX heights from its likely 16-mm film sources. Yet the sound is consistently fantastic and the energy is electric.” –

Coexistence, My Ass! (2025)

“As the volatility of discourse around this issue has increased following the tragic events of Oct. 7 and the horrific Israel-Hamas war, so, too, has the boldness of Shuster-Eliassi and Fares, two serious minds asking difficult questions.” –
