Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia is his latest dark comedy that features two powerhouse performances but still winds up an empty dark comedy.

A weak script drags Marko Zaror’s strong action showcase in Affinity, a romance action thriller you might want to skip.

Vicious (2025) is a suffocating, often cruel experience that accurately simulates depressive self-loathing while building a vague mythology.

Chris Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks works because it feels every bit like a “by horror fans, for horror fans” experience.

Honey Bunch loses its sweet touch with time, turning its strongest plot elements into little more than a farce by film’s end.

Sisu Road to Revenge prioritizes action, to the point where almost every big set piece received a raucous round of applause from the crowd.

She Said Maybe is a mess of a rom-com with leads you can’t root for and a cast of malicious characters you have to tolerate for little payoff.

In banking so much of its genre exercise on setups and backstories Wake Up Dead Man suffocates before it can even get started.

One part Italian rom-com and one part Chinese martial arts film, Forbidden City is a genre smashing title that pays off big. 

Anti-colonial horror at its finest, Mārama is moving and cathartic, Ariana Osborne makes this Maori gothic revenge horror story near perfect.
