David (2025) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Despite some solid animation, this retelling of the pre-kinghood life of the Biblical David suffers from boy-band songs and some whitewashing of Old Testament violence.” – The Film Yap Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 69% 4/5 EDIT “The third outing for the CGI sci-fi franchise is another visually impressive spectacle with oodles of kinetic action -- along with the now baked-in goofiness, clunky dialogue and neglectful pacing.” – The Film Yap Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 2/5 EDIT “James L. Brooks' swan song is unfortunately more of an ugly duckling honk. There are elements of a wonderful film here, just mismatched and badly stuck together.” – The Film Yap Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kate Winslet directs this weepy ensemble starring Helen Mirren as a dying matriarch determined to go out on her own terms. Co-starring Toni Collette, Johnny Flynn and Andrea Riseborough.” – The Film Yap Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Takes awhile to find its footing, but strong performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal elevate the material, and the sometimes shaky storytelling really sticks the landing.” – The Film Yap Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Is a filmed version of a stage production a movie or theater? It's debatable, but the engaging new version of the Stephen Sondheim musical is decidedly worth the experience.” – The Film Yap Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Some impressive performances, but like other Safdie efforts it feels like screenplays from five different movies tossed into a blender and churned into a volatile mush.” – The Film Yap Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “An indecently good premise about a dead woman having to choose which husband to spend eternity with is curiously lacking in emotional punch or belly laughs.” – The Film Yap Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Not terribly ambitious as a sequel, but thoroughly entertaining and fast-paced. Kids will love it and there's enough in-jokes and sly references to keep adults engaged, too.” – The Film Yap Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “Stellan Skarsgård gives the performance of his career as a washed-up movie director trying to reassemble his career and his relationships with his estranged daughters.” – The Film Yap Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Tender, a bit treacly, but always has its heart in the right place. Brendan Fraser, as a sad man who finds his own joy in bringing it to others, continues his bravura third act.” – The Film Yap Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 76% 4./5 EDIT “George Clooney and Noah Baumbach team up for a wistful, self-referential portrait of an aging Hollywood star looking back on a life of wild success and bitter regret.” – The Film Yap Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “Fun, fast-paced and forgettable. You won't recall anything about this movie two days after seeing but you'll be entertained by the slick effects and Ocean's 11-esque banter.” – The Film Yap Nov 15, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Screwy storytelling and muddled political messaging make for an update of the Schwarzenegger action sci-fi that can't decide which way to go.” – The Film Yap Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “The gore may be toned down from earlier iterations of the franchise, but this is a slick and oddly humanistic action/adventure, considering there are no humans in the movie.” – The Film Yap Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “A gritty portrait of the first female boxing star, with Sydney Sweeney and Ben Foster in layered performances as abused and abuser.” – The Film Yap Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Trifole (2024) 77% 3/5 EDIT “An bittersweet, evocative Italian drama about a young woman who has come to help her truffle-hunting grandfather gets lost in the weeds of a strange third act interlude.” – The Film Yap Nov 12, 2025 Full Review 36 Hours (1964) 71% 3/5 EDIT “A great premise if not the best execution: a spy/POW thriller starring James Garner as a WWII intelligence officer kidnapped by Germans and made to think the war is over.” – The Film Yap Nov 10, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Though derivative of other animated flicks, this Netflixer about two siblings at cross ends coming together to save their family is solidly entertaining and full of feels.” – The Film Yap Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “Give Jennifer Lawrence credit for fiercely tackling a deeply unsympathetic character in this ultra-black comedy about a mother whose postpartum depression translates as projecting abuse.” – The Film Yap Nov 5, 2025 Full Review The Summer Book (2024) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Gentle and contemplative, this drama stars Glenn Close as a Finnish grandmother spending a season on a lonely island helping her son and granddaughter heal.” – The Film Yap Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 87% 2/5 EDIT “More weirdness for weirdness' sake in the latest collaboration between Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone, in a kooky alien paranoia tale you can see coming a galaxy off.” – The Film Yap Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Colin Farrell is a squidgy gambler/con man/ersatz aristocrat in this dark, rambling character study that fails to go all in.” – The Film Yap Oct 29, 2025 Full Review The Birds (1963) 95% 4/5 EDIT “After a lifetime of avoiding Hitchcock's goofiest film, your critic takes the plunge with the foul fowl and finds, despite some unconvincing 1960s special effects, the movie does take wing.” – The Film Yap Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Despite stellar performances by Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, this unconventional musical biopic feels like echoes of something touching greatness that never finds its full voice.” – The Film Yap Oct 24, 2025 Full Review
