2025 movie reviews
  1. Writer-director Simon Hacker has a good grasp on his characters and story, but while Notice to Quit has a spark, it lacks any true heartwarming moments, which are buried beneath a surface-level premise that refuses to engage with vulnerability.
  2. There are flashes of cleverness here, but they are concealed by the arms-length approach.
  3. Though competently shot, the storytelling and performances leave much to be desired.
  4. Hitpig seems to have gone all in on the goofy humor and left the movie with an unappealing and unenthusiastic story that, despite the novelty of a bounty hunter pig, can't make up for a movie with no stakes.
  5. With a game cast and thrilling action sequences, Huang’s film offers more than expected to keep us engaged.
  6. Black Cab has a pitch-perfect combination of Goodison's surreal direction and Gazelle Twin's ethereal score.
  7. Cellar Door may not provide intense emotional payoffs, or twists that come as a complete surprise, but the actors deliver great performances, and it's intriguing to watch as the central couple's lives unravel.
  8. Though the movie's final act somewhat stumbles through its attempt at a big twist, it proves to be a refreshing approach to the formula.
  9. The film is unique and intriguing, but it struggles to tell its own story in an effective way.
  10. It sits among some of the best films Bustamante has created and stays with you long after the final scene.
  11. From start to finish, the movie feels like a half-baked idea which never had time to be refined or improved.
  12. Broe is able to go beyond a clichéd queer cityscape to capture something that feels achingly real, all the more so in the evolution of Johan and William's relationship. There's a sadness here, but it's blunted by the fact that it plays out in a way that feels very true to life.
  13. Though the film's final act begins to drag, and many of the same themes are touched upon multiple times, You, Me & Her must be praised for the clarity of its vision.
  14. There aren't any surprises, and all that we are left with is a little bit of satisfaction and underlying curiosity as to why this movie was worth investing in.
  15. The result is an incoherent, messy, and disappointing movie.
  16. Despite its fun concept and novel creature designs, Night of the Zoopocalypse ultimately finds itself weighed down by its lackluster script.
  17. While Delicious presents plenty of interesting ideas, powerful themes, and compliments it with memorable cinematography, the weak story and characters ultimately drag the film down.
  18. We're dumped into the action, and the action doesn't even have the courtesy to be good.

    While I am all for a genre-blended film, I found the movie's tonal clashes to be so extreme that it was hard to stay aligned with any character's internal experience.
  19. While Meet Cute In Manhattan falls a little flat at times, and has lines that occasionally veer from homage to cheese, overall, it's a beautifully smart, sweet rom-com that does exactly what it sets out to do. The meta commentary and humor is a highlight throughout, but if I had to pick one best element, it would be how Jason is written.
  20. Because of its historical highlights, important message, and incredible performances, Audrey's Children is a perfect biopic, depicting a tear-jerking topic without shying away from the emotions it conjures.

    While I will not spoil the ending, the film really struggles to avoid making a demonized monster out of mental illness, portraying sufferers as violent.
  21. Thanks to the stellar acting and nonstop pace of the story, iHostage transcends a few underdeveloped characters to create an intense story based on scarily true events.
  22. There is some great comedy in this, and the performances go hand in hand with the script and production. With early conversations leaning into the goofiness, it permits us not to take everything else too seriously, leading to being surprised by some oddly genuine moments and decent dramatic acting.
  23. Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon meets fans and newcomers right in the middle, and the resulting movie is for everyone. Overall, it's a summation of one of the best animes out right now, and if you want to prep for season 2 and are short on time, it's serviceable.
  24. Its strong characters and performances can only do so much to elevate a lackluster, unfocused story that often feels stuck waiting for the third act to kick in.

    Even with a forgiving attitude, I could not help but get bored by the film in the first third (or more), as the characters take forever to get from point A to B. The lack of promised humor and David’s passivity also did not help things.
  25. The Moogai uses the monster and horror as tactics, but it's at its best when the story shows that it's bigger than these two elements.
  26. Given The Furst Brothers are clearly aiming for an over-the-top and ridiculous tone, I'm sure the awful CGI was part of their vision, but rather than feel like a tongue-in-cheek genre film, it instead makes the movie one of the best it's-so-bad-it's-good horror films I've seen in a long time.
  27. With The Ruse , writer-director Stevan Mena aims to go for a more grounded and slow-burning thriller, but unfortunately, it lacks any kind of burn or tension.
