Monica Castillo AV Club Oct 21, 2026 B- Wicker is a strange fairy tale, both bizarre yet relatable in some matters of the heart.

Chase Hutchinson AV Club Oct 18, 2026 B+ Not only is she able to careen through all her various jitters, spinning uproarious yarns one moment and landing one absurdist punchline after another in the next, she also has stage presence to spare. Go to Full Review Kate Berlant: Parmesan (2026) - - - -

Jacob Oller AV Club Oct 16, 2026 D- A generous take on Street Fighter would be that it strives for the kind of relatively innocuous douchebaggery and immature impatience of a Fast & Furious movie. Go to Full Review Street Fighter (2026) 41% - -

Monica Castillo AV Club Oct 14, 2026 C+ In trying to put her own stamp on this beloved story, Oakley forgets to focus on the emotional subtleties of the characters’ heartaches, which is crucial to capturing what has made Austen’s work resonate through the ages.

Jacob Oller AV Club Oct 14, 2026 C A mutant sea monster, one that’s half gross-out B-movie and half flashback-heavy emotional flotsam. Go to Full Review Whalefall (2026) 74% - -

Monica Castillo AV Club Oct 13, 2026 B+ Segan’s view of the city feels expansive—not just limited to midtown and downtown, but a place where an actor like Turturro can live many lives onscreen—which means that his lead can bring new parts of the city to life through his reflections of it.

Monica Castillo AV Club Oct 12, 2026 B The AI genie might be out of the bottle, but Artificial doesn’t give Altman credit for the creation, it simply blames him for releasing it on an unsuspecting public. Go to Full Review Artificial (2026) 95% - -

Jesse Hassenger AV Club Oct 10, 2026 C+ Misty is nearly compelling enough on her own to justify the time spent with far more sketchily defined characters. Go to Full Review Misty Green (2026) 61% - -

Jesse Hassenger AV Club Oct 10, 2026 B Onslaught technically expands the world of The Guest, yet it also cuts its human interest down to a couple acres of dusty trailer park Go to Full Review Onslaught (2026) 60% - -

Jesse Hassenger AV Club Oct 10, 2026 C+ Verity lopes around unevenly instead of building to a fever pitch. Go to Full Review Verity (2026) 31% - -
