Pillion (2025) Olga Artemyeva Serving both as a romance and a coming-of-age story of sorts, Pillion ends up being quite familiar and unique, all at the same time.

Seasons (2024) Peter Martin Adds sufficient substance to the clever premise to make for a satisfying, if ultimately quite rueful, watch.

Extra Geography (2026) Mel Valentin Belongs on the must-see list for filmgoers interested in discovering talented newcomers, a fresh take on a familiar sub-genre, and a worthy, worthwhile exploration of teen psychology and relationships that define them.

Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) Martin Tsai The film announces its ambitions early, via a conspicuous insert from [Peter] Jackson's 1987 calling card, Bad Taste, as if to say: yes, we know exactly what kind of mess we're trying to make.

Jimpa (2025) Mel Valentin Succeeds both as a showcase for its central performances, Lithgow chief among them, and, at least initially, as a compellingly insightful exploration of intergenerational drama,

2/5
The Arborist (2025) George and Josh Bate Unfortunately, however, the film doesn’t resonate emotionally nor provoke psychological terror in the manner these and many other similar projects have, despite it leaning into a decent mystery and suspenseful atmosphere in its second half.

Tuner (2025) Mel Valentin Despite skillful camerawork, editing, and suitably tense pacing ... Tuner never escapes the aforementioned predictable plotting. [Director Daniel] Roher and his co-screenwriter, Robert Ramsey, never stray, not even once, from tried-and-true genre tropes.

The Moment (2026) Mel Valentin Never rises above a formulaic, surface-deep satire of the music industry and its suppression of artistic expression and creativity.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Whistle (2025) J Hurtado [A] textbook case of "turn off your brain and enjoy the ride" that never quite rises to the level of guilty pleasure. Unfortunately, this Whistle is more of a sad trombone.

The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Mel Valentin Something truly special, a character study that doubles as a crime drama, a crime drama that also functions as a snapshot in time, a time capsule for a vanishing New York City.

The Weight (2026) Mel Valentin Not that stories write themselves (they don’t), but leaning into the elemental aspects inherent in the premise can yield remarkably engrossing stories like Padraic McKinley’s feature-length debut.
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Run Amok (2026) Mel Valentin Will likely alienate as many moviegoers as it engages, if not more. Just as unmistakably, Run Amok announces [writer-director NB] Mager as a major new talent, a talent whose next film … should be at the top of any filmgoer’s must-see list.

3/5
The Infinite Husk (2025) Shelagh Rowan-Legg The Infinite Husk is taking a big concept and whittling it down to its essence, which works most of the time, and offering a mainly analogue sci fi story about the nature of the universe, time, and existence feel both scientific and poetic.

3.5/5.0
Teacher's Pet (2025) Peter Martin From its first moments, writer/director Noam Kroll's film is disquieting. ... A psychological drama that becomes more intense as it goes.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Iron Lung (2026) Simon Ramshaw His ingenious and uncompromising approach to turning an engaging playthrough into a white-knuckle cinematic experience is something that can be called a true original, unbeholden to conventions of duration, collaboration or self-conscious discipline.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Bulk (2025) Simon Ramshaw As human beings, we should be happy he's still so in love with his game, and is doing so much to further his craft. As audience members, it's just very hard to love it in the same way.

Tell Me Everything (2026) Rino Lu Though it lacks the climactic force one might expect from such material, the film offers a sensitive examination of a father-son relationship shadowed by the AIDS epidemic.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Jaripeo (2026) Rino Lu Looks less like a carefully devised project and more like an instinct-driven work, propelled by the urgency to make queer cowboy lives visible. ... Lends the film a rare openness.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Saccharine (2026) Martin Tsai Compulsion is staged as possession, another iteration of the film's central duality: desire as both hunger and haunting, agency and surrender.
Posted Jan 31, 2026  Edit critic review
Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) Rino Lu An intimate, quietly piercing coming-of-age story that speaks to stirring curiosity and confusion in puberty. It is nothing less than a heartfelt reflection on the uneasy process of being a "qualified" grown-up.
Posted Jan 31, 2026  Edit critic review
A Poet (2025) Olga Artemyeva Underneath the satire and chaotic slapstick, A Poet – this time contradicting what the title might seem to imply – is primarily a story about humans, not professions or vocations.

3/5
Cold Storage (2026) George and Josh Bate There’s good fun to be had here for those with 90 minutes to spare and with a proclivity for the repulsive and irreverent.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Chasing Summer (2026) Mel Valentin [Illiza] Shlesinger imbues Jamie with a welcome complexity ... not just a relatable character, but a cut above the one-dimensional characters typical of similarly-premised cable fare.

The Incomer (2026) Mel Valentin Offers more than its share of surface-deep pleasures for audience members willing to embrace [director Louis] Paxton’s singular take on the "stranger on a strange island" premise.

Shelter (2026) Daniel Eagan Shelter on the whole is above average, and Statham sets a high bar.

3.5/5.0
Arco (2025) Peter Martin Capturing the joys of childhood and the coming of age that is inevitable, as well as contemplating unknown threats and unimaginable dangers, Arco is a beautiful tale that is awash in hopes, memories, and regrets.

July Rhapsody (2002) Rino Lu Within this disordered rhapsody, [director Ann Hui] composes an unsettling variation on an ordinary man’s forties, winding up its movement in a gentle, poetic cadence.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
Frank & Louis (2026) Mel Valentin Takes an unhurried, detail-rich approach ... letting dialogue, camerawork, and performances lead the audience ... into the inner and outer lives of men typically forgotten or even discarded by society. ... Nuanced, nonjudgmental.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Buddy (2026) Mel Valentin Deftly balancing dark, cringe-worthy comedy with absurdist horror, Buddy delivers exactly what its primary image of a half-charred Buddy wielding an ax in an artificial forest promised: Twisted fun (not) for the whole family.

All About the Money (2026) Daniel Eagan Self-serving and duplicitous, Fergie Chambers is a gold mine for a documentarian like O'Shea. He eventually seems to be trying to redeem himself, but by the end he is still blaming others for his actions.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
The Wrecking Crew (2026) Daniel Eagan I don't care whether Bautista and Mamoa are believable as brothers. I want to see them destroying bad guys, which is exactly what The Wrecking Crew delivers.

Leviticus (2026) Mel Valentin Brilliant in its conception and even more brilliant in its execution, Leviticus belongs high on a list of queer horror and its discontents.

The Musical (2026) Mel Valentin Undoubtedly will make a fine addition to the collections of cringe-comedy aficionados.

Josephine (2026) Mel Valentin A deeply moving, heartrending exploration of the loss of innocence and the unintended consequences thereof.

Send Help (2026) Kyle Logan Send Help works as comedy every so often, whether it's because of Raimi's penchant for making violence downright goofy or the stars' charisma, but it's so overlong and stagnant as anything else that the majority of it is just a slog.

undertone (2025) Andrew Mack Of all the films that have depended on audio-instigated thrills and chills, The Undertone may be the best to have ever done it ... Flawless in execution and detail ... The Undertone is one of the best horror thrillers you will ever listen to.

Revolver Lily (2023) Peter Martin As a movie, Revolver Lily moves just as briskly as Yuri Ozone herself takes stealthy, decisive action. It resembles the train that kicked the action off: fast-moving, with a destination clearly in mind.

Mother of Flies (2025) Rino Lu For a low-budget production like Mother of Flies, the film hints at how creativity can be efficiently amplified and freely shared through solidified collaboration.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
Mercy (2026) Olga Artemyeva It’s definitely not the most outrageous or silly concept Bekmambetov ever worked with, but it’s certainly the least fun ... Strives to combine two of the director’s great passions: action movies and screenlife thrillers ... with mixed results.

The Well (2025) J Hurtado Thrives on a sparse aesthetic. What flourish there is in the film is largely narrative, as the imagery tells a tale of a world in which there is no time or energy to spare.

Return to Silent Hill (2026) Kyle Logan As an adaptation of one of the best video games ever made from a filmmaker who successfully translated the games' world to film before, it's a major disappointment. As a movie, it's just bad.

Altered (2025) Peter Martin A fun, punchy ride, for what it is: a sci-fi b-movie (the kind I love) that makes a good rental or purchase on a Video On Demand platform.
Posted Jan 19, 2026  Edit critic review
The Rip (2026) Rob Hunter Fantastic stuff and among [Joe] Carnahan's best. ... It rocks. It's also a reminder that movies made for this streaming era can still look, feel, and deliver as real movies.

Bite the Bullet (1975) Peter Martin Hackman's performance raises it above the noise.

Night Patrol (2025) J Hurtado [A] rousingly entertaining collective trauma-centered bloodbath, eschewing the tedious navel gazing that often afflicts such enterprises.
Posted Jan 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Killer Whale (2026) Rob Hunter Flops its way onto the screen stuffed to the blowhole with a steady sludge of utterly abysmal cg effects. ... It's a shame, as Jo-Anne Brechin's direction is otherwise solid, and both Gardner and Jarnson do good work.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Shelagh Rowan-Legg 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a more than worthy follow up to last year's film, visually glorious, a great sense of ironic humour, and drops enough literal and proverbial needles to make an audience applaud and craving for more.

Space/Time (2025) Peter Martin [Becomes] quite thrilling. ... Anyone with a proclivity for science fiction [will] appreciate what the filmmakers accomplished with a low budget and a lot of imagination.

All That's Left of You (2025) Olga Artemyeva Dabis’ film is also a story of different kinds of love and being able to make choices even when they seem impossible. Among them, the choice to somehow go on no matter what appears to be the most devastating – but also at least a little bit soothing.

OBEX (2025) Mel Valentin If you’re on OBEX’s wavelength or frequency, i.e., attuned to its oddball charms, quirky humor, and irony-free, poignant exploration of its central themes, then OBEX will prove a deeply engaging, infinitely rewarding experience.
