Movie ReviewsSeen a lot of movies, got a lot of opinions.
Let’s get Lily Gladstone her Oscar.
“Marty Supreme” Ain’t So Grand
Marty Supreme was never about a guy who dreamed too big for what was possible. It’s a series of loosely-tied-together hijinks that cater to fans of shock-value cinema.
“Sirāt” is a Long Walk Through an Empty Desert
Sirāt is surely a journey of profound proportions, but one that may leave audiences searching for meaning that isn’t found along this path.
A House is Not a Home in “Sentimental Value”
Sentimental Value doesn’t heal the wounds of the past, but it does offer an opportunity for reconciliation, as long as those involved are brave enough to recognize the cracks in their own home.
“El Canto de las Manos” Recontextualizes Beethoven for a New Audience
Passionate, emotional, and transformative, El Canto de las Manos redefines art’s ability to communicate.
“Sorry, Baby” is the Best Movie of 2025 You Haven’t Seen Yet
Sorry, Baby is a gargantuan piece of filmmaking that tricks you into thinking it’s small. What Victor has captured here, in the way trauma freezes you and the unexpected bits of life that thaw you out again, is purely remarkable.
“The Mastermind” is the Anti-Heist Heist Movie
Reichardt’s gently moving, observational camera makes The Mastermind a heist in its own right. It’s a film that uses an as-described-by-J.B. “victimless crime” to demonstrate that the repercussions of an individual’s actions will always be absorbed by the larger community.
“Little Trouble Girls” is a Piercing Look at Desire and Shame
It’s terrifying to be sixteen years old, falling into a crush you can’t begin to put into words, and Little Trouble Girls exquisitely captures that stomach-dropping, butterfly-inducing feeling.
“Dead Man’s Wire” is a Shotgun Blast Waiting to Blow
Dead Man’s Wire walks a tightrope of tension that is a direct line to our current disillusionment with the world around us.
“Zootopia 2” Roars to Life
Zootopia 2 is about compassion giving way to bravery and the pursuit of the truth.
“The Big Scoot! Will Ride Right into Your Heart
The Big Scoot! manages to create the sensation that the viewer is a pillion rider on a slow-moving but emotionally grand journey of a lifetime.
“The Long Walk” Comes Home on Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital
The Long Walk comes home on Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital, and an Amazon exclusive 4K UHD SteelBook from Lionsgate.
“Peter Hujar’s Day” is Gentle, Quietly Staggering
The concept of Peter Hujar’s Day is the cinematic equivalent of watching paint dry. It’s in the vein of Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, except that instead of actually seeing Peter go about his day, the audience is witness to him as he recounts it to Linda. All this to say, it’s a marvelous little piece of filmmaking.
“Eternity” Asks Who You Want to Spend the Rest of Time With
Perhaps, though, it’s like Joan says — maybe what makes life (and Eternity) special is that it is finite.
“Kokuho” Puts on a Spellbinding 3 Hour Kabuki Epic
While the three-hour runtime will scare many away, those who immerse themselves in Kokuho will be taken on an epic adventure that encompasses friendship, rivalry, and the murky inbetween.
Netflix’s “Wake Up Dead Man” Trades Whimsy for Something Darker in New “Knives Out” Installment
For a film that will have “A Benoit Blanc Mystery” added to its title, Wake Up Dead Man feels far away from that detective.
“Counted Out” Crunches the Numbers on Math Education
Counted Out unlocks the door to the larger issues that arise at the elementary education level and lays out a path on which we can move forward.
“American Baby” is the Beginning of an Important Conversation
American Baby seeks to foster a space for conversation about the choices, both hard and easy, that come with pregnancy.
Christmas Came Early with the 4K Re-Release of “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas”
In this restored, 4K Ultra HD format, How the Grinch Stole Christmas feels more alive than ever.
“Don’t Trip” is Nepo-Baby Horror
Some people really will do anything for a chance at fame, and Don’t Trip is a rollercoaster of an exploration of what it takes to make dreams come true.
“Time Travel Is Dangerous” is Deeply, Dryly Hilarious
Time Travel Is Dangerous is a low-fi, sci-fi romp that feels specially and expertly made for the lovers of smart, dry humor.
