4/5
Solo Mio (2026) Keith Garlington James has never been better and Grimaudo should immediately be put on everyone’s radar. In the end, nearly all the pieces fall into place, making this a delightful, refreshing, and life-affirming crowd-pleaser.

2.5/5
Iron Lung (2026) Keith Garlington It's a bummer because somewhere in "Iron Lung" is a tighter and more focused 90-minute movie that I would have loved.

2/5
Chasing Summer (2026) Keith Garlington Decker and Shlesinger’s collaboration begins as the kind of zany comedy anchored enough in the real world to resonate. It ends up being an indistinct and forgettable letdown that seems custom made for streaming.

zi (2026) Keith Garlington Kogonada shows some of the same creative verve that has made him one of the most interesting filmmakers working today. But here he stubbles with a slapdash finish that undermines much of what came before it.

4.5/5
Josephine (2026) Keith Garlington There is an urgency to "Josephine" that goes beyond the riveting drama. The film forces us to reckon with uneasy yet consequential issues. And it does so with clear-eyed conviction, which is precisely what this kind of material needs.

3.5/5
Frontier Crucible (2025) Keith Garlington It’s nice to see filmmakers playing around with genre rather than being shackled to it. That creative freedom is what keeps “Frontier Crucible” from being just another trip to the Old West.

3.5/5
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Keith Garlington Among all the comedy and chaos is a message we might want to listen to. Verbinski pushes it to the point of absurdity. But the mirror he holds up has a lot to say. The story isn’t always coherent, but it’s wildly entertaining and genuinely funny.

2/5
Grizzly Night (2026) Keith Garlington To its credit, “Grizzly Night” sticks close to the real-life events. But dramatically, it limps along without ever delivering the dramatic punch it needs.

2.5/5
Mercy (2026) Keith Garlington The blueprint is there for something a lot better than what we get. It’s not without entertainment value. But the untapped potential leaves us thinking more about what might have been.

4/5
The Tank (2025) Keith Garlington "The Tank" follows a unique narrative path marked by clever foreshadowing and intriguing moral reflections, finishing up with a bold final act that immediately calls for a second viewing.

3/5
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Keith Garlington You could do a lot worse than "People We Meet on Vacation" – a romantic comedy that depends on good characters, strong chemistry, and crisp dialogue right up until it doesn’t.

2/5
Killer Whale (2026) Keith Garlington Budget limitations and a few too many shortcuts keep this well-intentioned feature from delivering on its ambition.

4/5
The Rip (2026) Keith Garlington “The Rip” is Joe Carnahan’s best film since “The Grey” and it’s a killer start of the year for Netflix. Inspired by true events, the story and storytelling grips you from the opening scene to the closing credits.

2/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Keith Garlington We’re left with the sense that very little in the film is moving towards a particular narrative goal. The tonal hopscotch, numbing sadism, and off-balance storytelling only make things worse.

3.5/5
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Keith Garlington (Van Sant) packages it within a classic crime thriller framework that’s soaked in a richly detailed 1970s aesthetic. It can also be darkly funny, often at the most surprising times, adding levity to an already gonzo true story...

3/5
Night Patrol (2025) Keith Garlington The film maintains a self-awareness that keeps things fun. And Prows’ clear love for exploring genres produces an infectious energy and a go-for-broke uniqueness that gives the movie an identity all its own.

2.5/5
Relentless (2025) Keith Garlington "Relentless" might not live up to its name, and it certainly has its flaws...But Botchii’s vision and inspiration, helped by two firmly committed lead performances, keeps the audience engaged, even as the story struggles to fill its lean 93 minutes.

3.5/5
Primate (2025) Keith Garlington This bonkers horror confection knows exactly what it is and it doesn’t pretend to be anything else. The best part – director Johannes Roberts mostly hits his mark, delivering exactly what fright fans will be expecting.

3.5/5
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Keith Garlington With its intriguing world-building and central characters worth rooting for, “Migration” puts you on the edge of your seat and tugs at your heartstrings, all at the same time.

4/5
I Was a Stranger (2024) Keith Garlington Anderson impresses with his confident direction and his clear-eyed storytelling, both of which feature big swings from a fresh filmmaker who clearly isn’t afraid of taking chances.

4/5
The Plague (2025) Keith Garlington Polinger shows himself to have a remarkable vision, using the various arms of cinema to open our senses to a profoundly serious topic. Overall, "The Plague" is a remarkable and significant big screen debut.

3.5/5
We Bury the Dead (2024) Keith Garlington Hilditch maintains a good grasp of his material, balancing his rich themes with his obvious love for genre. And while his world can feel too sparse, the story’s human element always finds its way to the surface.

4/5
The Life of Chuck (2024) Keith Garlington The film is full of terrific performances that bring emotional truth to this curious, otherworldly story. All that’s missing is a Rod Serling introduction.

2/5
Anaconda (2025) Keith Garlington Director Tom Gormican attempts to tap into the nostalgia that some people apparently have for "Anaconda". But he does so through a movie that lacks the laughs necessary for good comedy and the thrills you look for in good action.

4/5
Beast of War (2025) Keith Garlington The strikingly cinematic "Beast of War" delivers everything a genre-lover would want and expect. At the same time, Roache-Turner brings along his own playbook which keeps the movie from simply being more of the same.

2/5
The Housemaid (2025) Keith Garlington Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried square off in Paul Feig's "The Housemaid", a movie that starts off as a fun campy throwback before nosediving in its final act by taking the cheapest and most predictable route available.

4/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Keith Garlington "Fire & Ash" is still a grand science-fiction epic that once again transports us to an awe-inspiring world that could only come from the imagination of James Cameron. And I loved being back.

4/5
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Keith Garlington While “It Was Just an Accident” has a rebellious spirit that pleads to a nation’s conscience, it at times seems more existential than pointedly political…which resonates from its mysterious start to its hauntingly ambiguous ending.

1.5/5
Ella McCay (2025) Keith Garlington As well-meaning as it may be, "Ella McCay" is a glaring misfire and a far cry from the significantly better films that have defined James L. Brooks’ career.

3/5
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Keith Garlington Nelson isn’t just rehashing some tired formula. He offers his own unique take on the story, tossing in plenty of gruesome kills, a warm romance, some pitch-black humor, and a strong sense of self-awareness.

3.5/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Keith Garlington "Marty Supreme" is fueled by a chaotic energy that keeps us glued to every wild, unpredictable moment. At the same time, that very manic propulsion rarely slows down enough for Chalamet to find the humanity in his character.

2.5/5
Thieves Highway (2025) Keith Garlington Johnson and Mills do some fun maneuvering with their characters and Eckhart is a sturdy enough lead. But the storytelling takes too many shortcuts and the overall lack of suspense keeps us one step ahead.

4/5
Jay Kelly (2025) Keith Garlington Together with its rich, nuanced performances, lush cinematography, and Baumbach's vibrant direction, "Jay Kelly" resonates as both a contemplative character study and a meaningful cautionary tale.

4/5
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Keith Garlington Johnson keeps us routinely off balance with a steady wave of new clues, shaky alibis, and surprising revelations...And all through another cadre of colorful characters who feel right at home in Johnson’s latest and possible best Knives Out to date.

4/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Keith Garlington Craig Brewer has crafted a rousing crowd-pleaser built on the timeless music of Neil Diamond and the spectacular chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson...You’ll leave with your heart full and a song on your lips.

1.5/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) Keith Garlington Nothing in this world feels fleshed out, especially the characters, whose actions often feel arbitrary rather than purposeful. The clumsiness leads to convolution, making it a difficult movie to sit through.

3.5/5
Is This Thing On? (2025) Keith Garlington Much like his previous two efforts, the intensely hands-on Cooper once again shows his love for character-centric, emotionally resonant stories rooted in human experience.

1.5/5
Savage Hunt (2025) Keith Garlington It doesn’t help that "Savage Hunt" takes itself so seriously. It’s a mostly dour and joyless endeavor that would have been much better off embracing its absurdity.

3.5/5
Eternity (2025) Keith Garlington You’ll find it easy to spot the cracks if you give it too much thought. But if you let the movie operate on its own terms, you’ll have a hard time denying its beguiling charm, admirable sincerity, well-struck comic beats, and welcomed originality.

Rebuilding (2025) Keith Garlington Walker-Silverman drives it all, using a form of minimalism that relies on meditative pacing and a unique visual language. Through it he’s able to tell an affecting and resonating story of resilience and self-discovery. It’s impossible not to be moved.

Sentimental Value (2025) Keith Garlington (Trier's) considerations of fractured relationships, past family trauma, and art as a means of healing have significant weight and are delivered with such an assured sense of purpose that we can’t help but be captivated by the drama that unfolds.

The Secret Agent (2025) Keith Garlington (Filho’s) richly detailed compositions transport us back to 1970s Brazil, vividly capturing every detail and never wasting an inch of the frame... Meanwhile Moura shines in a role that gets increasingly more complex as the story progresses.

2.5/5
Roofman (2025) Keith Garlington The writers seem more interested in telling a sanitary good guy tale than considering Lancaster’s crimes...It leaves you with the feeling that there is a much better version of this gonzo true story still waiting to be told.

Blue Moon (2025) Keith Garlington (Hawke) energizes this talky bio that can sometimes be as obnoxious as its central character.

Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Keith Garlington It’s pure and proud genre entertainment that’s more bonkers, much bloodier, and with a noticeable bigger budget.

Train Dreams (2025) Keith Garlington Clint Bentley has delivered something so deftly crafted and richly organic while Joel Edgerton does his best work in a career full of dynamic performances.

2.5/5
Keeper (2025) Keith Garlington The ending is a patchwork of eerie images that look great but have no real explanation. So we’re left admiring the haunting visuals while scratching our heads at what any of it means. It’s enough of an issue to end the movie on a disappointing note.

The Running Man (2025) Keith Garlington "The Running Man" gets stuck in between being thematically overstuffed and playfully action-packed while lacking that extra pizzazz we’ve come to expect from Edgar Wright films.

2.5/5
King Ivory (2024) Keith Garlington (Swab) tells a bleak, no-nonsense story that sometimes slouches towards cliché. But it remains serious-minded, and Swab’s willingness to mine from what he knows has a powerful impact that can be felt despite his movie’s shortcomings.

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Keith Garlington This time capsule masterpiece is not only a lesson in movie history. It’s also a celebration of the creative independence forged by the brilliant filmmakers at the heart of the movement – filmmakers who would reshape cinema from France to Hollywood.
