Latest Reviews
Six films, six verdicts. Scored on story, craft, and whether it earns its runtime.
9.0
Drama
Low Tide
The year’s quietest gut-punch. A coastal family drama that never raises its voice and never needs to.
7.3
Sci-Fi
Redshift
Gorgeous production design carries a script that can’t quite decide what it wants to say about memory.
8.6
Comedy
Marigold
Sharp, warm, and unafraid of a genuinely awkward silence. The ensemble cast is doing career-best work.
6.8
Horror
Hollow Bell
Strong first act, familiar second half. The sound design alone is worth the ticket price.
8.9
Action
Vantage Point
Practical stunts, patient choreography, zero shaky-cam. This is how you shoot a fight scene in 2026.
