Sugar Babies (2025) 40% 5/10 “Sugar Babies is an intimate look at poverty and the changing of the American dream, but it fails to look deep enough to make the impact it intends to.” – Collider Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (2025) 79% 4/10 “The Virgin of the Quarry Lake turns a coming-of-age story into a supernatural tale of violence, but it's the muddying of genres that ultimately makes the film fall short of the massive potential it has.” – Collider Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% 4/10 “Although The Gorge is far from peak cinema, with a wealth of issues that would take far too long to talk about, it still manages to be a silly, popcorn movie that is reminiscent of the mid-budget movies of the '00s. ” – Collider Feb 13, 2025 Full Review The Librarians (2025) 100% 7/10 “If there's one thing that Snyder's doc shows, it's that people can change, and maybe The Librarians is the first step in that process.” – Collider Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) 100% 8/10 “While the plight of Ukraine is undeniably horrific, Mr. Nobody Against Putin shows a very real cost and the damaging ripple effect this invasion will have on Russian civilians.” – Collider Feb 7, 2025 Full Review LUZ (2025) 44% 5/10 “Luz is an ambitious film but one that overreaches a little and becomes jumbled as a result. Still, it shows promise for filmmaker Flora Lau.” – Collider Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Two Women (2025) 95% 7/10 “Director Chloé Robichaud's fourth feature film is a fun and sexy romp that discusses infidelity, marriage, and being a mother in our modern age.” – Collider Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore (2025) 96% 7/10 “In Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, we get an intimate look into Matlin's perspective on the span of her career, her reaction to her life-changing Oscar win, her relationship with the deaf community, and her learning how to leverage her stardom.” – Collider Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Last Days (2025) 28% 3/10 “Last Days does not do enough to make its leading character sympathetic or interesting and Lin's unwillingness to stand firmly on a perspective makes it a weak showing for the filmmaker.” – Collider Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 85% 3/10 “Zodiac Killer Project is a cautionary tale for filmmakers not to fall into the same trap as Shackleton and lose sight of the purpose of these stories. The victims and survivors deserve to be more than just a speed bump in a director's career.” – Collider Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Bunnylovr (2025) 55% 8/10 “It's clear that not only does Zhu have a very clear vision for this story, but there's a comfort in the way she tells this complicated tale. With Bunnylovr, Zhu has not only made her mark but defined herself as an up-and-coming star to keep an eye on.” – Collider Jan 26, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% 8/10 “While The Ugly Stepsister isn't perfect — there are a few loose ends that Blichfeldt does not tie up well — it's a horrific, grotesque, and superb debut feature that nails its message.” – Collider Jan 24, 2025 Full Review 2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025) 95% 9/10 “Mstyslav Chernov once again offers us a deeply personal look at the Ukrainian resistance against Russian invading forces, reminding us of the horrors of war and the value of hope.” – Collider Jan 24, 2025 Full Review The Crow (2024) 21% 5/10 “Struggling through an identity crisis, The Crow is doing too much and, as a result, doesn't do enough to serve its core narrative.” – Collider Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Starve Acre (2023) 83% 6/10 “It is moody and creepy, though perhaps not brave enough to wander into true melodrama or bizarre fantasy. In the end, its performances and the way it incorporates Gothic elements, along with a strong visual aesthetic, make the film a worthwhile watch.” – Collider Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 7/10 “Does the good outweigh the bad? Just barely, but not enough to dethrone its predecessor.” – Collider May 15, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 8/10 “Movies are always enjoyed best on the biggest screen, but never has a movie demanded an IMAX screen more than Dune: Part Two. Get yourself to the biggest screen you can to enjoy this.” – Collider Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Brief History of a Family (2024) 92% 5/10 “The ultimate ambiguity might be enough for some to praise Lin's work, but there's simply not enough to chew on by the end of the story for it to be a resounding success.” – Collider Feb 3, 2024 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% 5/10 “Ultimately, Dìdi's problem is that it is charming but aimless. Izaac Wang is perfectly cast as Chris, and he has amazing chemistry with this cast, but there just isn't enough to go off of.” – Collider Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Ponyboi (2024) 83% 7/10 “The film would be nothing without River Gallo's performance, which stands out as a beacon of light in this emotional and beautifully shot ride.” – Collider Jan 30, 2024 Full Review Exhibiting Forgiveness (2024) 95% 8/10 “It tackles the ghosts of the past, the scars of the present, and the promises of the future with nuance and grace.” – Collider Jan 28, 2024 Full Review Love Machina (2024) 23% 3/10 “Never do the Rothblatts, any of the scientists, or Sillen ever discuss the mountain of problems that come with emerging technology like this.” – Collider Jan 20, 2024 Full Review Love Me (2024) 47% 6/10 “While it's not perfect, it's a strong showing for a debut and gives me hope for whatever next project these two storytellers have in store.” – Collider Jan 20, 2024 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% 6/10 “Ultimately, Freaky Tales works if you don't look too hard at it. It's a fun time and some of the most extreme scenes will make you forget any plot holes or inconsistencies. ” – Collider Jan 19, 2024 Full Review City of Wind (2023) 100% B- “As far as feature debuts go, Purev-Ochir delivers a solid offering, one that showcases her strengths and leans into the soul of her original short, elaborating on an intriguing concept to impressive results.” – Collider Sep 23, 2023 Full Review
