Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Oct 24, 2025 Despite being two hours and fifteen minutes long, you never feel the length. There’s so much happening, so many characters, so many political machinations within the prison and palace walls, it’s a feast for the senses that never slows down.

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Oct 18, 2025 4/5 Black Phone 2, being as funny as it is, was also not on my bingo card. Yet, making it less physiologically punishing for the protagonists and more entertaining for the audience is also why the sequel works as well as it does.

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Oct 17, 2025 4.5/5 With If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Mary Bronstein represents the Hell of living in such a stark way that all you want to do is hug Linda and hope she will find the most joyful parts of being human again.

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Oct 15, 2025 This version will resonate with people of any race or sexuality, but it is particularly exciting for queer communities of colour to be represented in this film. Hedda is a gorgeous, rich text, so multi-layered with incredibly nuanced performances. Go to Full Review Hedda (2025) 90% - -

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Oct 3, 2025 Forget the love triangle, the way the film builds out the bureaucratic afterlife, the sets and costumes, the sheer splendor and think piece that this film is, that’s what makes it worth watching. If only we hadn’t spent so much time on the romance. Go to Full Review Eternity (2025) 76% - -

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Oct 3, 2025 I sincerely hope that Bouchra gets a wide release somehow. Not only is the film beautiful to look at, a feat of animation, and a triumph of complex storytelling, but it’s also a story of queer acceptance that is needed around the world today.

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Sep 30, 2025 1.5/5 It’s a real-life horror story transformed into pure action movie entertainment, where the disaster is not depicted as a monstrous force caused by human negligence, but in the vein of a Universal Studios interactive theme park ride.

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Sep 27, 2025 Despite reading and watching Hamlet before, this 2025 version proved to be so unique in its sensibilities, its execution, its acting, and the direction of its story. This might just be the definitive Hamlet for me for a good long while. Go to Full Review Hamlet (2025) 72% - -

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Sep 26, 2025 0/5 The Strangers – Chapter 2 is 2025's worst film. Embarrassing in all conceivable aspects, Renny Harlin somehow makes an even worse installment than the already terrible first chapter. Go to Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 15% - -

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Sep 23, 2025 1/5 While HIM contains an outstanding performance from Marlon Wayans, the rest of the movie includes some of the year's emptiest images, utterly devoid of any significance and thematic intrigue. Go to Full Review HIM (2025) 30% - -

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Sep 14, 2025 Dead Man’s Wire is a riveting ride from start to finish. Every scene reveals tantalizing details that keep you hooked. The combination of nuanced writing and a clear vision for the direction make this film unmissable. The performances are subtle and real. Go to Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% - -

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Sep 14, 2025 There’s an almost old-school, '90s-esque quality to California Schemin’ that I absolutely loved. This film is so well-paced... Every scene started and ended at precisely the right moment, at the very height of tension. Go to Full Review California Schemin' (2025) 91% - -

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Sep 14, 2025 The charm of the cast, Murphy and Lycurgo’s incredible performances, and the immersiveness of that first half, are more than enough reason to park yourself in front of this film whenever you get a chance to see it.

Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) FlickSided Sep 8, 2025 The Man in My Basement has an unusual concept... But this needed to be a psychological thriller through and through, not a horror film. Despite strong performances and plot twists, the film never manages to transcend its horror roots. Go to Full Review The Man in My Basement (2025) 40% - -

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Aug 29, 2025 4.5/5 The constant mayhem of its loudest sequences and relentless carnage ensures we’re always glued to the screen at every occasion, even when Aronofsky bathes in excessive, almost cartoonish violence, worthy of Lau Kar-leung and Corey Yuen.

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Jul 25, 2025 5/5 It’s as far removed as possible from anything Flanagan has previously done in both film and television, but one can notice his sensibilities at every turn, notably how he fills each frame with as much tangible atmosphere as possible.

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Jul 25, 2025 1.5/5 The twist concludes the movie with a bad taste in our mouth, and a realization that Perry will never be able to make art that will stand the test of time if he doesn’t treat serious subject matters like the ones he deals with in Straw with respect.

Maxance Vincent FlickSided Jul 25, 2025 3.5/5 The slow and genuinely emotional sequences are at the heart of what makes Shadow Force ultimately work, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Sy’s effervescent on-screen charm and Washington’s towering dramatic intensity.
