Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026)
74%
5/10
EDIT
“Doesn’t do nearly enough with its attempted twist on the gangster action-comedy — there’s probably a far better movie to be made from this premise.” –

Pretty Lethal (2026)
61%
3.5/10
EDIT
“A horrible, derivative mess that never really takes off, as hard as it tries to be cool with its simple idea of ballerinas fighting goons. This is close to unwatchably bad.” –

She Dances (2025)
86%
4/10
EDIT
“Another bad indie dramedy with tonal issues that make it hard to sit through, let alone care about any of the characters, even during their most emotional moments.” –

Our Hero, Balthazar (2025)
92%
5/10
EDIT
“Such a manipulative film that rarely connects, and it’s also so grueling to get through with an ending that’s grim as hell that it might leave you more annoyed than enlightened to the filmmaker’s intentions.” –

Kontinental '25 (2025)

6/10
EDIT
“Just falls back into a lot of attempts at social commentary and off-putting intellectualism, which I found to be dreary and boring. ” –

Fantasy Life (2025)

6.5/10
EDIT
“Shear’s dramedy is perfectly harmless and a great returning vehicle for Amanda Peet, but it also leaves one with many questions.” –

A Magnificent Life (2025)

6.5/10
EDIT
“Another gorgeous example of animated cinema from a true French auteur, though its subject matter is going to have a limited appeal to a very certain and specific audience.” –

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026)
89%
8.5/10
EDIT
“Confusing at times and scary as hell at others but also so comprehensive and informative, while offering a personal touch to this important topic that could make it this year’s An Inconvenient Truth.” –

Forbidden Fruits (2026)

5.5/10
EDIT
“It’s a little obvious this movie is trying too hard to be this cool mainstream horror-comedy with too many ideas to fully succeed.” –

7.5/10

“If you enjoy action-packed thrillers that go into bizarre and unexpected directions, you might enjoy this fun showcase for Beetz and this director.” –

Slanted (2025)
69%
4.5/10
EDIT
“Neither as funny as Mean Girls, nor as disturbing or relevant as The Substance. Trying to compare it to either of them is as misguided as the premise and execution itself. (VIDEO)” –

“An absolute disaster of an action movie, one that’s so derivative while missing every aspect of why action movies like this might work.” –

Heel (The Good Boy) (2025)

7/10
EDIT
“A fine British dramatic-thriller that sneaks up on you with the simplest of premises being balanced by underplayed performances that elevate every moment of Komasa’s latest.” –

“Ultimately, with Scream 7, Kevin Williamson has successfully taken what was a deliberately formulaic throwback and made a satisfying installment.” –

“Sometimes drags, but everything does come together in a satisfying way that pays off with a truly emotional ending. This is very much a movie I wish I had a chance to see on the big screen.
