Regretting You (2025) 29% 2/5 EDIT “At a too-long two hours, Regretting You is at once mild and bumpy, any momentum jolted by basic hits of mourning or uninspired romance, mechanical delivery and off-timed humor.” – Guardian Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Is This Thing On? starts with a punchline – sad divorced dad stumbles into a bar as a cry for help – and smartly works backward; like a great routine, beneath the jokes lurks something tender, grounded and real.” – Guardian Oct 11, 2025 Full Review Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl (2025) 64% 2/5 EDIT “As a cinema experience, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl at least mirrors the album it celebrates -- rote, tinnily light, with the lazy execution and first-draft quality of someone up against a deadline.” – Guardian Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 59% 3/5 EDIT “I went in braced for success montages, leaden flashbacks and capital-R Realizations, and at times met them. But more often I was won over by its diversions in form -- its specificities, its smallness and its portrait of mental fragility.” – Guardian Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 56% 2/5 EDIT “Anemone certainly looks serious... The tools to back up that style with emotional punches that land like the real ones of the brothers are not yet refined.” – Guardian Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Swiped (2025) 43% 3/5 EDIT “The history of how online dating went from deeply uncool to de rigueur is one worth telling, and Swiped’s methods, corny and contrived as they can be, are proficient enough to do it.” – Guardian Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Wrong Paris (2025) 67% 2/5 EDIT “The Wrong Paris, written by Nicole Henrich and directed by Janeen Damian, somehow serves the synthetic sugar of both The Bachelor and the Hallmark movie without any sweetness. The formula is there, but not the flavor.” – Guardian Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 84% 2/5 EDIT “One wishes that Ohs or his actors, Charli included, tapped a little more into a suggested undercurrent of intense, simmering emotion, particularly for two friends with an allegedly combustible bond. But maybe that’s for next time; this was just practice.” – Guardian Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Splitsville may take shots at the loose-boundaried, but they’re laced with truth: partnered or single, open or closed, we’re all working with the same raw material.” – Guardian Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Inconsistent but never insubstantial, Materialists is far from perfect, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of a date.” – Guardian Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 87% 4/5 EDIT “For all its silly and surreal flourishes, Friendship keeps a beating heart.” – Guardian Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Rivals of Amziah King (2025) 97% 2/5 EDIT “There’s a nagging dissonance to the Rivals of Amziah King, which espouses a particular idealized vision of the US ramshackle bolted to a undercooked and bizarrely paced crime plot of dubious rationalization. ” – Guardian Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Just enough flourishes, an enjoyable but not unbearable amount of stress, no wasted time, a perfect match of star, script and style. For those who sort for lean and limber in their thrillers, Drop is a date worth making.” – Guardian Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% 2/5 EDIT “In practice, it squanders the talents of its star, especially for this particular brand of unsettling, on a bizarrely paced script that adds up to nothing.” – Guardian Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 53% 2/5 EDIT “Death of a Unicorn clocks in at under two hours, but feels longer, its inherent silliness not matched with the necessary self-awareness, chemistry or fun.” – Guardian Mar 9, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “It’s neither groundbreaking nor exceptional, but it does deliver above the admittedly low bar for a questionable sequel, with enough juice for another at-home hit.” – Guardian Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Another Simple Favor (2025) 59% 3/5 EDIT “Another Simple Favor drops threads and drags on, but survives on its self-assured baseline pleasures: the gorgeous yet nonsensical setting of Capri, the lush wonders of Renée Ehrlich Kalfus’s costume design and the two leads’ perfectly calibrated banter.” – Guardian Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Picture This (2025) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Like many an app date, it’s neither offensive nor memorable -- a drop in the bucket, one in an algorithmic sea of many.” – Guardian Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Riveting, seamless, at points genuinely shocking, Last Breath exemplifies the possibilities of human collaboration -- a feat that has stuck with me and, yes, took my breath away.” – Guardian Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Kinda Pregnant (2025) 28% 2/5 EDIT “What texture exists gets steamrolled by the loud and extreme. Schumer’s style -- force and exaggeration, pushing boundaries to sometimes hilarious ends -- may have reached its limit.” – Guardian Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Sharply written, smartly structured and well-acted, with a star-making turn from Victor herself, the 93-minute black comedy is not only nimble and consistently funny, but one of the best, most honest renderings of life after sexual assault that I’ve seen.” – Guardian Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Magic Farm (2025) 51% 2/5 EDIT “It’s one of several odd combinations that are more awkward than provocatively jarring -- a mix of too-light understatement and overdoing it that fizzles into limp farce.” – Guardian Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “At its best, writer/director Clint Bentley and co-writer Greg Kwedar have crafted a gorgeous and poignant film of quiet, bruised life in a fragile place, anchored by a magnificently sensitive and restrained performance from the still-underrated Edgerton.” – Guardian Jan 28, 2025 Full Review All That's Left of You (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Broad sentiments and heavy drama abound, but not so much pablum -- especially in the middle sections, the film glances more provocative, unanswerable, semi-profound question” – Guardian Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Omaha (2025) 89% 3/5 EDIT “An altogether promising debut for Webley and should-be breakout for the young Wright, who makes you believe that though this film may ultimately fail to distinguish itself from the many tight, slight dramas at Sundance, Ella will always be remembered.” – Guardian Jan 26, 2025 Full Review
