Baby, It's You (1983) 95% “Powered by a brilliant John Sayles script and an exceptional Rosanna Arquette performance, the film casually overturns coming-of-age romantic conventions. ... Wonderfully authentic, a sweet goodbye to whatever innocence remains.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Light of the Setting Sun (2024) “Rather than outrage and anger, Light of the Setting Sun focuses on healing and understanding. It's meditative and poetic. Without making bold statements, it wrestles with fundamental issues of identity. ... Wonderfully absorbing. ” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 16, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% “A charming and delightful experience. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% “Uneven and unsteady at times, Death of a Unicorn resembles nothing so much as a newborn animal, taking fragile steps into an uncertain future. Where it goes, nobody can say for sure, but it’s impossible to deny the warmth of its overweening ambition. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Little Miss Sociopath (2025) “Jenny Tran gives a marvelous performance as Clem, capturing the comic, dramatic, romantic, and, yes, dangerous aspects of a multi-layered character who is not afraid of her own, sometimes deadly, personality. ... Funny, yet simultaneously empathetic.” – DallasFilmNow.com Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 86% “Hough keeps things moving along, and having Milland, Pleasance, and Albert on hand gives the story the weight it needs to keep the film from floating away, like an upside-down helicopter.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Corina (2025) 4/4 “Naian González Norvind shines. ... It's a terrific performance. ... Suffused with empathy, Corina is a gentle and lovely story that is told with a great deal of kindness and that resolves in an unexpected manner. Did I mention that I love this movie?” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Deeper (2025) “Jennifer Peedom's film is invigorating. ... Kinda like 'informed thrill seeking.' You know the dangers, but you simply must do it anyway, not because of the danger, but despite the danger. Deeper captures that feeling, that emotion, that drive, perfectly.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% “It's difficult to discern any creative or story-driven purpose behind the sequel. Like a high-priced D온라인카지노추천 release, Moana 2 is all tarted up for no good reason except Disney's bottom line, and has precious little to recommend for adult viewers.” – EverythingButHorror.com Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Caper (2025) “For all the brash comedy concocted by writer and director Dean Imperial, a fair amount of toxic male behavior is also mixed into the brew ... behavior [they don't] fathom as toxic ... Effectively delivers a smackdown when it's needed most. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 14, 2025 Full Review LifeHack (2025) 100% “Emotions are never lost in the blizzard of imagery, especially as tensions rise to an unfair level. It feels like Lifehack begins to attack the nervous system, so that my blood pressure started rising and a palpable sense of excitement surrounded me. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 14, 2025 Full Review $POSITIONS (2025) “Brandon Daley's script treats all the characters with empathy, kindness, and complexity, making his wildly funny debut feature a compelling tale of friendship, obsession, and a p--- bomb. (No spoilers; I'm not opening my mouth on that one.)” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Sweetness (2025) 92% “Fierce is the most fitting description for Kate Hallet's impersonation of the wildly determined Rylee. ... Turns surprisingly sour at times, yet retains sweetness at its core. At least, when it's not completely unhinged, which is most of the time.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review The 4 Rascals (2025) “As goofy as [it] comes across in its opening sequences, it's so incredibly silly and slapstick that it's kinda irresistible. ... It's like a puppy dog that knocks you over, repeatedly, but without malicious intent: the dog just wants to play.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Surviving Earth (2025) “It would be all too easy for writer/director Thea Gajić to pound home the dark side of addiction. Instead, she ... urges empathy, to understand and share the feelings of another, even if you can never fully get under their skin.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Take No Prisoners (2025) “Briskly paced and absolutely compelling, directors Adam Ciralsky and Subrata De have fashioned a real-life thriller that is grounded in reality and filled with heart-rending emotion.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 56% “A blistering, nuanced police drama that remains gripping throughout, Report to the Commissioner features absolutely terrific performances.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 12, 2025 Full Review My Uncle Jens (2025) 3.5/4 “Deftly moving from comic collisions to cultural misunderstandings to romantic interludes to skittering tensions to dramatic consequences, My Uncle Jens proves to be an altogether unexpected and surprisingly unsettling experience.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Spreadsheet Champions (2025) “Where Spreadsheet Champions excels (sorry) is in making every competitor someone you can root for, no matter whether they win, place, or show. Kristine Kaskov's breezy pace and animated direction ensures that every formula adds up. (Sorry.) ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 9, 2025 Full Review One More Shot (2025) “An entirely satisfying experience. ... Emily Browning is effervescent ... equally at ease when the story calls for her to plumb the depths of her soul, She is a fearless actor, never more so than in this movie. ... An adrenaline rush of a comedy. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins (1975) 47% “I loved Arkin’s performance, which mixes notes of defiance, determination, and resignation.” – EverythingButHorror.com Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants (2025) “When a film rips like this, ranking films is the last thing that will be on any viewer's mind. It's rousing entertainment in the grand old style.” – ScreenAnarchy Feb 23, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% “Galloping at a steady pace that always keeps the narrative in clear focus ... does not reinvent the wheel so much as it decorates it with thoughtful details. At heart, it has a B-picture chassis with A-picture production values. ... A pure joy ride.” – DallasFilmNow.com Feb 13, 2025 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 81% 2/5 “The script anchors the film like a lead weight and exerts a gravitational force upon the dramatic performances, making The Room Next Door a listless, lifeless experience. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Night Call (2024) 81% 3.5/4.0 “Moves too fast to slow down and contemplate what it's doing. Taken as a straight-ahead thriller, it's smart and snazzy.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 13, 2025 Full Review
