Robert Stinner In Review Online Oct 29, 2026 If the central romance feels a bit thin... it’s forgivable, as Villoresi’s bold sense of invention and imagination are what truly propel the film forward and linger after its conclusion. Go to Full Review Orfeo (2025) - - - -

Joseph Dimacchia In Review Online Oct 29, 2026 Purely within [its] various ideological oppositions does the film become intriguing, as perhaps only a medley of ideas this preposterous could reflect our current political moment. Go to Full Review Sacrifice (2025) 35% - -

Emily DuGranrut In Review Online Oct 29, 2026 In the absence of a more fully formed study...there’s a very clear ceiling to a film like The Last Winter, far below the mountaintop it depicts. Go to Full Review The Last First: Winter K2 (2026) 97% - -

Patrick Fey In Review Online Oct 29, 2026 Marczak’s formal flourishes prove limiting rather than expansive, strangely drawing attention to the film’s status as a film while neglecting the implications of its filmmaking for those involved. Go to Full Review Closure (2026) 95% - -

Joshua Polanski In Review Online Oct 29, 2026 Whatever is next [for the artist], hopefully it is as thematically sturdy and zealous as Always Lalisa. Go to Full Review Always Lalisa (2026) - - - -

Daniella Mazzio In Review Online Oct 29, 2026 By putting so much emphasis on True Crime trademarks... the [film's] focus is scattered everywhere but on what justice functionally means to [Odeh's] legacy. Go to Full Review Who Killed Alex Odeh? (2026) 67% - -

Jake Tropila In Review Online Oct 29, 2026 Breeder isn’t likely to illicit the same global response as the films of Goyette's fellow 2026 YouTube brethren, but as a calling card, it makes for an undeniably promising, and idiosyncratic debut. Go to Full Review Breeder (2026) 87% - -

Lauren Wissot In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 As the filmmakers take fire to be their lawfully wedded element, the final part of Stephens and Sprinkle’s queer environmental trilogy comes to a close, going out in a delirious blaze of glory. Indeed, even the earth was moved. Go to Full Review Playing with Fire: An Ecosexual Emergency (2025) - - - -

Daniel Allen In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 California Schemin’ settles into a place of pat predictability, never as buoyant or rip-roaring as a tale like this should be. Go to Full Review California Schemin' (2025) 91% - -

Andrew Dignan In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Treat the film as a wealth of ammunition at your fingertips for the next time you find yourself stuck sitting next to a conservative relative who feels compelled to call Musk a "genius."

Chris Mello In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Ghost in the Cell, is a socially-minded horror-comedy that brims with enough zany ideas to enliven its digital gorefest. Go to Full Review Ghost in the Cell (2026) 93% - -

Matt Lynch In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Apart from its corporate mandate, Matchbox‘s only real imperative was to platform a few amusing, charismatic performances and deliver some nifty action. It seems like everyone here basically got the open book assignment. Go to Full Review Matchbox The Movie (2026) 30% - -

Ethan J. Rosenberg In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Like nailing your mark on stage, Eisenberg neatly hits narrative beats with a spin on the heel and a twinkle in his eye, yet his operating principle causes one to wish he had stayed in that messier, more empathic mode. Go to Full Review The Debut (2026) 91% - -

Daniella Mazzio In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Schneideman’s film settles into the fine line space between lies told out of self-preservation and those of self-defense.

Andrew Dignan In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Ironically, considering its subject matter, the film risks little and says little...It’s slick, friction-free, direct-to-streaming dross from people who probably should know better. Go to Full Review Animals (2026) 30% - -

Daniel Allen In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Given its more intimate scope, House of the Wind functions as a strong debut from Yanghu, a captivatingly human portrait of companionship, loneliness, and chosen family. Go to Full Review House of the Wind (2026) - - - -

Chris Mello In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 Instead of the standard wraparound story...we get sketches...that are likely mildly amusing to anyone able to access the obscure frequency of their wavelength but profoundly agitating and juvenile to those of us left out in the uncostumed cold.

Abe Beame In Review Online Oct 24, 2026 What Guadagnino communicates is that this cohort of greasy geniuses who are on the verge of ending life on Earth as we know it struggle with the basic act of putting one foot in front of the other. Go to Full Review Artificial (2026) 95% - -
