Disney's Snow White (2025)
40%
“These cursory changes clash with its more modernized lead, and the resulting dissonance is particularly egregious. By stranding Snow White in garish landscapes opposite thinly written scene partners, the movie betrays her.” –

The Electric State (2025)
15%
“The Electric State is so transparently eager to satisfy as many demographics of viewers as possible that it proves its own message: that a world dependent on business interests and technological optimization dulls artistic potential and human ingenuity.” –

Mickey 17 (2025)
77%
“The film’s greatest asset, though, may be Pattinson. The actor’s delightfully offbeat performance anchors the story in an endearing humanity. His choices border on cartoonish, but they’re specific enough to make his character’s plight feel recognizable. ” –

Hard Truths (2024)
95%
“Hard Truths itself is astonishingly sensitive for a portrait of someone who often behaves monstrously. Leigh depicts Pansy’s journey with a wrenching empathy, carefully revealing how her irascibility is caused by burdens both specific and mundane.” –

September 5 (2024)
93%
“September 5 is effective because it doesn’t claim to say anything original about the perils of reporting and consuming breaking news. It’s simply -- and bluntly -- showing how easily those familiar perils can be overlooked.” –

The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024)
97%
“The emotional reality of living in Iran while holding views that oppose the state, the movie suggests, is anxiety-inducing—almost unfathomably so for those who have never dealt with such restrictions.” –

Emilia Pérez (2024)
72%
“It seems to revel in its contradictions, mixing crassness with tenderness, pastiche with originality, silliness with sincerity. It’s emotionally manipulative. It’s visually over-the-top. It’s a mess, in other words -- a spectacular, operatic one.” –

Conclave (2024)
93%
“Despite its heavyweight subject matter, however, the result is remarkably playful; without flattening the importance of the papacy or abandoning the novel’s attention to detail, Conclave exposes the sometimes farcical nature of institutional practices.” –

The Apprentice (2024)
83%
“A muddy exercise in Trumpology that never answers the biggest question it raises: What does chronicling Trump’s beginnings illuminate about one of the most documented and least mysterious men in recent American history?” –

The Crow (2024)
21%
“The original Crow is by no means a perfect film -- its dialogue is often corny, its sentimentality heavy-handed -- and I don’t believe the comics are so sacred that they can never be adapted again. But Sanders’s vision is just dull.” –

Dìdi (2024)

“Dìdi sets itself apart by examining more than just the turbulence of growing pains; it’s also a period piece that understands the flattening effect the internet has on teenagers in particular. ” –

Trap (2024)
57%
“Full of off-key, seemingly atonal beats that will likely alienate viewers hoping for more conventional horror-movie scares. Yet it also builds to a cohesive whole, and the movie’s peculiarity is gratifying at this stage in the director’s career.” –

Fly Me to the Moon (2024)

“The film doesn’t offer much wisdom about how we should deal with our growing unreality, but it is a charming diversion. In a way, its very shallowness is the point.” –

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)

“A complex, contemplative, and sprawling picture that explores the price of holding on to your humanity in a world that argues against its very value. The result is a film that’s perhaps less propulsive than its predecessor but no less visceral to watch.” –

Problemista (2023)
