The Devil Wears Prada 233
Apr 29, 2026
The first Devil Wears Prada was certainly an artifact of the 2000s and this sequel is too, in that it's a soul-less nostalgia grab with some interesting opinions it doesn't really want to dive into.

Michael42
Apr 22, 2026
Michael is a fun and serviceable biopic that suffers from a lack of depth and a variety of cooks in the kitchen who over salt the works.

You, Me & Tuscany58
Apr 9, 2026
You, Me & Tuscany is a deliciously charming throwback and a new step forward for the romantic comedy genre. It's also a showcase for Bailey, who'd do well to do several more of these movies as her affection and personality work so well with something frothy like this.

Project Hail Mary67
Mar 10, 2026
There are countless space movies to choose from and there are moments where Project Hail Mary tries to have the dark human emotion, and ask the big questions, that movies like Arrival and Interstellar have done. There are also moments where it just wants to be a fun space film. The two tones don't gel smoothly, but Gosling is gold.

The Bride!75
Mar 4, 2026
Buckley is a powerhouse and Gyllenhaal's script is so bold and fresh that even when it doesn't work it pulls you in.

Hoppers75
Mar 2, 2026
Hoppers is one of the best Pixar movies in recent years, though the script does feel slight in character motivations.
Feb 9, 2026
Wuthering Heights75
Feb 9, 2026
The soul of the novel is there and "Wuthering Heights" stands on its own as yet another great adaptation of Bronte's novel.

Pillion91
Feb 6, 2026
Pillion remains one of the best movies of the year, one that is funny as it is relatable, romantic as it is trying. Melling and Skarsgård have a fabulous chemistry together. This is another one I can't wait to experience again.

Disposable Humanity100
Feb 2, 2026
Mitchell tells a story that needs to be told and demands the audience to never avert their gaze.

The Moment42
Feb 2, 2026
The Moment might appease xcx superfans just content to watch the singer do anything, but it yields little beyond that. Though worthy in its attempts to modernize the rock mockumentary, there's no real humor or depth to the material, and what meaning is there has been done better before. Just listen to brat again. On repeat.
