EDIT
“Vicky Jewson’s ‘Pretty Lethal’ squanders an interesting premise with paper-thin characters, dull performances, and poorly staged action.” –

EDIT
“The predictability of Loznitsa’s film might hamper the final moment where Kornyev’s fate is sealed, but it still doesn’t make the movie any less impactful.” –

A Magnificent Life (2025)

D+
EDIT
“What ultimately remains is a painfully hollow and vapid animated affair that will sadly be released by committing the worst possible offense against what Marcel Pagnol stands for.” –

Reminders of Him (2026)
55%
C+
EDIT
“I could’ve come here and talked about why Colleen Hoover [...] continues to misunderstand fundamental human relationships in her writing. All of this is still true. But the filmed transposition of Reminders of Him isn’t bad. Simple as that.” –

In the Blink of an Eye (2026)

1.5/5
EDIT
“What tries to be a live-action version of Godfrey Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi [...] ultimately ends up being a complete nothingburger that has nothing of interest to say, thematically, narratively, and aesthetically.” –

Heel (The Good Boy) (2025)

D+
EDIT
“Komasa’s formal impulses are still intact, but they’re in service of a screenplay that has no idea what it wants to say about anything it lays in front of the audience.” –

Hoppers (2026)
94%
4.5/5
EDIT
“Hoppers will undoubtedly stand the test of time as one of [Pixar's] most vivid and dynamic works, at a time when they needed a reminder that innovation should always be at the forefront of every film they make.” –

“Michel Franco’s ‘Dreams’ fails to meet the moment with a mostly empty erotic drama that takes a repulsive turn near its "shocking" denouement.” –
