Reuben Baron Reactor Sep 11, 2026 As a critic, I leave Hope feeling like Abed in Community taking his course on Nicolas Cage. Is this good? Bad? The good kind of bad? The bad kind of good? I don’t know what to say except "I am a sexy cat!" Go to Full Review Hope (2026) 80% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Sep 1, 2026 It’s the kind of movie that you shout "What?" at the screen every five minutes to, but you never leave your seat. After years of fun-bad draught on the cinema front, we could use more movies like that. Go to Full Review The End of Oak Street (2026) 86% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Sep 1, 2026 I’m just furious at this film for giving me deep thoughts and feelings about the cartoon equivalent of Build a Better Mouse Trap. Go to Full Review Coyote vs. Acme (2026) 96% - -

Leah Schnelbach Reactor Aug 29, 2026 3.7/4 "Kelly and King give the jokey premise some depth without taking things so seriously that we lose sight of the pure joy of watching a sentient backpack go through an existential crisis. I love Buddy, and I’m pretty sure Buddy loves me." Go to Full Review Buddy (2026) 88% - -

Reuben Baron Reactor Aug 21, 2026 I’m not particularly wowed by it because it’s so simple and because I’ve seen similar things before—but if this is your first time with this kind of thing, it’s a ride worth taking. Go to Full Review It Ends (2025) 93% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Aug 11, 2026 As Billy says, Camp Miasma isn’t summed up in all those shrewd academic analyses, but centered on something far more arcane: It’s about flesh and fluids. Go to Full Review Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) 94% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Aug 11, 2026 Brand New Day manages to be a Spider-Man film that continues the arc of Homecoming, acknowledging that the community and who you fill it with were always the point… but also that you cannot exist cordoned off from it, high above.

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jul 29, 2026 The film is still a fun journey for the fact that it’s enjoyable to see all these characters and this world again, with a scope to match its ambitions. Go to Full Review Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (2026) 90% - -

Leah Schnelbach Reactor Jun 29, 2026 4/5 This is a truly special film, and I hope goth kids are watching it at sleepovers for years to come. Go to Full Review CAMP (2025) 89% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jun 26, 2026 But more to the point, claiming that a 13-year-old girl could and should feel permanently tarnished, spiritually, mentally, or emotionally, for killing a man who mass murdered her family and plans to use her as a breeding sex slave is absurd.

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jun 22, 2026 This could have easily been a story about any outlaw of the period, and the suggestion that it inspired the ballads of Robin Hood later on might have been more riveting if the character were simply some guy.

Reuben Baron Reactor Jun 17, 2026 It’s not quite a masterpiece of horror on par with The Babadook, but one point in its favor: unlike The Babadook, it’s actually gay! Go to Full Review Leviticus (2026) 93% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jun 12, 2026 A strange choice to make, reduxing one of the greatest achievements in cinematic history with a milquetoast successor[...] but it does seem that a few directors are starting to feel like their audiences didn’t get the message the first time around.

Reuben Baron Reactor Jun 9, 2026 It’s cool that an outsider artist and true indie animator can make a movie like this and get such wide exposure! That doesn’t change how little I cared for the movie itself. Go to Full Review Jinsei (2025) 81% - -

Leah Schnelbach Reactor Jun 9, 2026 2.5/5 I wanted this to be good, but it never quite pulled off any of what it tried. Failing good, I wanted it to at least be fun, but it was such a paint-by-number fantasy movie that even that didn’t land. Go to Full Review Masters of the Universe (2026) 67% - -

Leah Schnelbach Reactor May 29, 2026 4.7/5 Backrooms is everything I was hoping it would be. It’s creepy and weird, but based just enough in solid reality—at least at first—that there’s room for the creepiness and weirdness to grow. Go to Full Review Backrooms (2026) 85% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor May 27, 2026 It is the particular cross-section of philosophy, surrealism, interconnectedness, and humanism that makes Riley’s work on film so astute and so spectacularly vibrant[...] Go to Full Review I Love Boosters (2026) 92% - -

Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor May 22, 2026 [...]I’m astounded that there are any intended mega-blockbusters going this route in the year of 2026.
