Kikuyu Land (2026) 6/10 EDIT “"Kikuyu Land" showcases a place and people of great beauty and great tragedy, and the documentary thrives when it provides witness to these paradoxical elements. ” – Next Best Picture Feb 4, 2026 Full Review American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (2026) 100% EDIT “Provides a welcome showcase of a talent more than deserving of such a stylish, considerate, well-crafted portrait.” – POV Magazine Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Joybubbles (2026) EDIT “Unfortunately, while the elements are present for an evocative, engaging, and even entertaining film, Joybubbles itself feels undercooked. ” – POV Magazine Feb 3, 2026 Full Review All About the Money (2026) EDIT “Chambers’ tale is most engaging when there’s overt recognition of this paradoxical situation.” – POV Magazine Feb 3, 2026 Full Review The Oldest Person in the World (2026) 87% EDIT “ Despite literally being a film about life and death, The Oldest Person in the World feels slight at best and trivial at its worst. ” – POV Magazine Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Broken English (2025) 93% EDIT “Beautifully shot, musically rich, ambitiously framed in a way that miraculously avoids being pretentious or pompous, Broken English is a film that should inspire even if one doesn’t care about a single note played. ” – POV Magazine Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Troublemaker (2026) EDIT “Troublemaker feels like the start of a reconciliation between the myth and the man.” – POV Magazine Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Cookie Queens (2026) 100% A EDIT “Delicious. An exceptional work that’s greater than its ingredients, sandwiching politics, commerce, and the joys of childhood all into one package.” – POV Magazine Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) 100% EDIT “We are witness to the recollections from the participants in this dramatic era of change, and equally was can see how these movements were birthed in the first place. ” – POV Magazine Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Ghost in the Machine (2026) 82% EDIT “The film itself is incredibly ambitious in terms of its intellectual scope, but its effectiveness would be buttressed by a bit more concision.” – POV Magazine Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Last First: Winter K2 (2026) 100% EDIT “The interviews are probing without overstepping their bounds, allowing each individual to share his or her story while permitting us as the audience to navigate the competing perspectives.” – POV Magazine Jan 23, 2026 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 6.4/10 EDIT “From the visuals to the storyline to the general direction, it all feels very much like cogs in a machine, setting the stage for future chapters no doubt, but lacking even a modicum of its own sense of style and place.” – Paste Magazine Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Balloonists (2025) 8/10 EDIT “[It's] a deeply human story, one where hubris and courage mix like the gasses aboard the vessel, sometimes making things rise to implausible heights, sometimes crashing to the ground.” – Next Best Picture Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Tuner (2025) 94% B+ EDIT “Anchored by a quiet yet compelling performance by Leo Woodall, the film gives a lovely late-career showcase to Dustin Hoffman. The mix of genre elements is a delight, and the jazzy score, fast pace, and strong performances make much of the film sing.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 29, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% A EDIT “The more you take seriously the politics of the film the more it falls apart, but that takes nothing away from the caliber of this exceptional film.” – CBC Radio Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% A- EDIT “With a stunning turn by Sydney Sweeney... A credit to all involved that the sweeping yet never showy photography, the nuanced performances, and the tonal swings are all accomplished in ways that at least stand its ground against legendary competition” – RogerEbert.com Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Many of the lessons of Lilith Fair have quickly been forgotten, and the film plays a further role in reminding not only of its successes, but of the way many elements of its courageous stands have been left aside in favor of other considerations.” – Next Best Picture Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a film to be watched and rewatched, an effort to be celebrated, and hopefully the start of a fruitful career for a filmmaker unafraid to shine a light on her complex past.” – Next Best Picture Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Adulthood (2025) 77% 6/10 EDIT “Who knows how “Adulthood” will age, but if you’re looking for a brisk bout of debauchery and family shenanigans, Alex Winter’s latest chilly tale may well be something to be warmed by.” – Next Best Picture Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Easy's Waltz (2025) 75% 6/10 EDIT “If one (somehow) completely ignores the utter ridiculousness of a musical performance anchored with mediocre singing (insert snarky Russel Crowe-related comments here, if you’d like), there’s still a lot of fun to be had from the film.” – Next Best Picture Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Meadowlarks (2025) 88% 7/10 EDIT ““Meadowlarks” soars when it’s unafraid to have difficult answers, and to allow the various complications and complexities of its characters to be fully on display. ” – Next Best Picture Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 6/10 EDIT ““The Choral” is a perfectly fine festival film. Anchored by another admirable performance by Fiennes, it mines its milieu effectively enough.” – Next Best Picture Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Silliness done smartly.” – Next Best Picture Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Mile End Kicks (2025) 100% 7/10 EDIT ““Mile End Kicks” is a messy, heartfelt portrait of youth and creative ambition. ” – Next Best Picture Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Love+War (2025) 100% 9/10 EDIT “A film that’s emotional, exhilarating, and essential, photographers capturing a photographer, game recognizing game, with highly skilled filmmakers finding another perfect subject in this internationally renowned photographer.” – Next Best Picture Sep 12, 2025 Full Review
