Hans Zimmer & Friends: Diamond in the Desert (2025) 8/10 “Not only will you get to revisit old favorites and feelings, but you’ll be taken to places you’ve never been before. Thus is the power of music and the magnificent, inimitable Hans Zimmer.” – Collider Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Speak. (2025) 100% 7/10 “A good talented teen documentary will probably make you have a small existential crisis about where you are in your life, but a great talented teen documentary will motivate you to push yourself to your limits and find out what you’re capable of.” – Collider Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Brides (2025) 83% 7/10 “Brides is an original and bold coming-of-age story that features two star-making performances from its young leads. Though the editing and structural choices weaken its overall impact, It's still an impactful — and, at times, even oddly enjoyable — watch.” – Collider Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Lurker (2025) 96% 5/10 “ Though the actors are all decent in their roles, the performers aren’t enough to save flat writing and characterization — both of which make it difficult to get invested.” – Collider Feb 3, 2025 Full Review East of Wall (2025) 100% 8/10 “East of Wall thrives in the details, with Beecroft’s gritty, intimate direction and bold casting making it feel adjacent to a documentary. It's at its best when it hones in on the three generations of women at its core.” – Collider Feb 3, 2025 Full Review André is an Idiot (2025) 92% 7/10 “André Is an Idiot is one of the saddest, boldest documentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s also one of the funniest and most mundane — which is what makes it even more powerful.” – Collider Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Atropia (2025) 41% 6/10 “Atropia certainly offers both new and interesting commentary in a fresh way, but it takes on so many storylines and makes so few decisive statements that it simultaneously ends up feeling overambitious and overly tame. ” – Collider Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Middletown (2025) 100% 9/10 “Middletown is a captivating tale that combines elements of true crime and coming-of-age stories and proves, once again, that Moss and McBaine are two of the most talented documentarians working today.” – Collider Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Magic Farm (2025) 42% 6/10 “Though Magic Farm’s opening is killer, it can’t manage to stick the landing — or much of the second half. The risks Ulman takes are commendable, but it never quite reaches its potential or comes together as much as you’d hope.” – Collider Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 96% 7/10 “Peter Hujar's Day definitely won’t be for everyone — or maybe even most people — but its target audience, however small and niche, will likely find it to be a lovely little gem.” – Collider Jan 28, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% 8/10 “The Wedding Banquet is a classic rom-com with modern touches that rarely ring false or feel heavy-handed. The entire ensemble is top-notch, allowing beloved actors like Gladstone and Yang to do something slightly different from their usual fare” – Collider Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Folktales (2025) 79% 7/10 “Folktales' earnest, sensitive approach is its superpower, showcasing universal challenges being processed in a specific and singular way.” – Collider Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) (2025) 76% 7/10 “Much like the setting it depicts, Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) is a quiet little gem with much more to it for people willing to take the time to look beneath the surface.” – Collider Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 95% 8/10 “Twinless is a dramedy in its truest form, equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, and even horrific at various points — and occasionally at the same time.” – Collider Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Back in Action (2025) 28% 4/10 “Most people are likely clicking on this film for Foxx & Diaz, and they do their best with what they’re given, but the dull, exposition-heavy script never gives them the chance to flex their dramatic muscles, and they rarely get to be truly funny either.” – Collider Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Empire Waist (2024) 7/10 “Empire Waist features a moving tribute to friendship dressed up in a bright, colorful package. While it’s not immune to tropes and predictable story beats in some areas, the way it tackles issues of body image is rare and refreshingly nuanced. ” – Collider Sep 28, 2024 Full Review All Shall Be Well (2024) 96% 8/10 “All Shall Be Well is a simple story overflowing with carefully crafted details that raises interesting and little-explored questions about gay rights, how we honor the dead, and how easily selfishness can seep in and poison us out of doing what is right.” – Collider Sep 20, 2024 Full Review I'll Be Right There (2024) 86% 7/10 “Many are sure to feel represented by watching Falco’s touching, understated performance. It’s a pleasant watch — and an important one for that reason.” – Collider Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 75% 6/10 “While the pacing could be improved and the final moments aren’t altogether consistent with what it sets up, the majority of the bold, anxiety-inducing third act and an array of compelling performances can make you forgive it. ” – Collider Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% 9/10 “The more the film proves that everything is not as it seems, the more Mollner and Fitzgerald prove themselves as singular talents to watch.” – Collider Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Skincare (2024) 69% 3/10 “Skincare is about an industry that uses smoke and mirrors to make you look like the younger, better version of yourself. Perhaps it’s fitting, then, that nothing about it feels real.” – Collider Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Borderlands (2024) 10% 5/10 “It’s just disappointing that the source material has so much more to offer in terms of its layered characters and complicated themes of trauma and survival that the film seems either uninterested in or incapable of tapping into.” – Collider Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Skywalkers: A Love Story (2024) 74% 8/10 “It’s a beautiful story in an even more beautiful package that proves we should never stop holding out our hands and reaching for the sky — or one another.” – Collider Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% 8/10 “The passion and care required to make a film like Sing Sing are on full display in every frame. While Domingo is an obvious standout, the rest of the ensemble has more than earned their flowers, too.” – Collider Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Last Summer (2023) 86% 6/10 “Breillat’s direction is brilliant at times, but some of the choices keep the audience from being fully invested or moved by anything, lessening the effectiveness of its message.” – Collider Jul 6, 2024 Full Review
