Bedford Park (2026)

3.5/4
EDIT
“Sexy, moving and poignant, “Bedford Park” doesn’t soft-pedal the reality of being children of immigrants and never takes the easy way with overly convenient answers or solutions.” –

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025)
87%
4/4
EDIT
“The Testament of Ann Lee all but replicates what it is like to be in the throes of a passionate religious movement, and does it with a command and feminist fervor that is as undeniable as the mastery of the central, all-in performance from Seyfried.

Night Patrol (2025)
59%
3/4
EDIT
“As what happens with the best grindhouse movies, “Night Patrol” spares no one, gets a bit messy and is devoutly uninterested in playing it safe as it hits us with one surprise after another.” –

People We Meet on Vacation (2026)
76%
3/4
EDIT
“A strong supporting cast — Lukas Gage, Molly Shannon, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jameela Jamil and Lucien Laviscount – ups the entertainment value. Since rom-coms have been a bit blah of late, this one will satisfy that itch even if it’s no gamechanger. ” –

I Was a Stranger (2024)
75%
3.5/4
EDIT
“It’s a suspenseful handwringer that features one of the most nerve-wracking boat-raft passages I’ve ever seen on film. Andersen has also come up with a perfect ending, one that illustrates so much by saying so little.” –
