It’s time to return to Pandora! #AvatarFireAndAsh

Bravo Josh Safdie! Easily one of the best, funniest, and most entertaining films of 2025. Marty Mauser is about to take the World by-storm: Timothée Chalamet is about to win his first Academy Award, but Odessa A’Zion and Gwyneth Paltrow truly deserve recognition as well @a24movies.bsky.social

Bi Gan’s RESURRECTION is an incredible, ambitious experience that eliminates the limitations and boundaries of filmmaking and storytelling. It’s a beautiful example of a director’s fully-realized idea that’s haunting and unconventional, but dripping with originality and style

STRANGER THINGS 5: Vol. 1 is a captivating and entertaining opening chapter but it also reminds us why we fell in-love with this show in the first place: the characters and their bonds, the setting, and the thrills. And it’s jaw-dropping climax perfectly sets-the-stage for Vol. 2

ZOOTOPIA 2 is cute, funny, and charming; a welcome return for Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde fresh-off their city saving adventure and facing a brand new set of challenges. The humor and heart are strong once again, alongside a great cast and important central messages. And THAT classic film homage!

SONG SUNG BLUE is a rousing, infectious crowdpleaser with a rich emotional core; an uplifting and heartbreaking retelling of “Thunder & Lightning’s” tragic story. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are excellent, sharing a pulsating chemistry that elevates each other’s performances

SOUND OF FALLING is an intricately-woven story of a German farm house and its inhabitants throughout multiple generations. The film explores both the complexities of adolescence and inherited trauma/memory, as well as the cultural customs that are practiced through the years

MARTY SUPREME is an exhilarating, hilarious, and chaotic cautionary tale on pride, ambition, and greed that’s non-stop entertainment. Timothée Chalamet is phenomenal, capturing Marty’s naive innocence, confidence, and morality brilliantly. One of the best films of the year!

Round 2! #Wicked #ForGood

WICKED: FOR GOOD is an entertaining and magical culmination even with its flaws, which it has a few (pacing is a BIG one). Cynthia and Ariana are magnificent once again and the look and feel of Oz jumps-off the screen. The nostalgic moments were handled well too, in my opinion

RENTAL FAMILY is the feel-good movie of the year! A beautiful and touching story about humanity and the power of the relationships we form with others and their immense impact. Brendan Fraser gives a heartwarming performance that captures the essence of the film perfectly

WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY is a fun, macabre murder mystery that’s largely-carried by Josh O’Connor’s stellar performance (and Craig’s Blanc as always). It’s a violent take-down of religion filled with more timely and witty charactersc topics, dialogue and discussion

A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS kicks-off Netflix‘s holiday “Hallmark movie” season; and while it’s nice to see Alicia Silverstone back on the screen, there’s far too few memorable moments along the way. While it plays-into its cheesiness and charm, it does so with little payoff sadly

ETERNITY is a cute and funny romantic dramedy about the afterlife and the choices we make. The film examines a challenging predicament, surrounded by intriguing world building and strong cast (Olsen/Teller/Turner are solid, but Da’Vine is the MVP!); though its pacing is uneven and holds it back

Chloé Zhao’s HAMNET is heartbreaking and absolutely devastating; it’s beautifully-crafted, but also an extremely difficult watch. Jessie Buckley’s performance penetrates your soul and shatters you into a million pieces, alongside an excellent Paul Mescal as a broken Shakespeare

JAY KELLY is a sharply-written, beautiful, and introspective look at life in the movie business. A brilliant, captivating cast (Clooney, Sandler, Dern) provides such a grounded, entertaining narrative that can truly apply to anyone; one of the best and most charming films of the year

Now Watching: #JayKelly

THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE is vibrant, expressionistic and bold; an impeccably-crafted and acted film about religion and its interpretation. Amanda Seyfried is astonishing, completely disappearing into the character and fully embodying the Shaker culture. One of the year’s finest

Now Watching: #TheTestamentOfAnnLee

THE PLAGUE is a harsh reminder of the pain of adolescence, how cruel it can be, and the toll it takes; a PSA against bullying set a a water polo summer camp in the early 2000s. Joel Edgerton is great, but it’s the kids (led by Everett Blunck) that really cements its authenticity

IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT builds suspense in such a masterful way, you’ll be hanging on every moment for what happens next. Jafar Panahi’s film is darkly comedic, but shines a spotlight on real-life horrors and his own personal experiences and feelings; a beautiful and brave film

DEATH BY LIGHTNING tells the story of James Garfield’s rise to the Presidency and his ultimate fate. A very intriguing history lesson told through a modernized lens, featuring memorable work from Michael Shannon, Nick Offerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Betty Gilpin, Bradley Whitford, and Shea Whigham

LATE SHIFT highlights Switzerland’s increasing nurse shortage crisis and features an astonishing Leonie Benesch performance, beautifully-capturing the spirit of healthcare workers in both its pacing and raw emotion; required viewing for anyone who has ever criticized patient care

Now Watching: #ThePlague

Lynne Ramsay’s DIE MY LOVE is the personification of postpartum depression; a striking, provocative interpretation of motherhood’s physical, mental and emotional toll. Pattinson is strong, but Jennifer Lawrence delivers a raw, soul-baring performance that will deeply resonate with many

NUREMBERG is a compelling depiction of one of the World’s darkest moments and how they transpired. Russell Crowe is brilliantly menacing and calculated as Göring, alongside an excellent Rami Malek. Entertaining, riveting and most importantly honors those affected and warns us all

Now Watching: #Nuremberg

ALL THE EMPTY ROOMS Just a heart-wrenching, suffocating half hour that will emotionally devastate you to your core. It’s an extremely painful watch, but a necessary one; handled with exquisite grace and care to honor their memory while showcasing the aftermath of this epidemic

NOUVELLE VAGUE is a beautiful, heartfelt, and touching tribute to the French revolutionaries of cinema. Guillaume Marbeck encaptures Godard remarkably well and Linklater’s connection to the material is palpable. Zoey Deutch and Aubrey Dullin also shine in this cinematic delight

Now Watching: #NouvelleVague

HEDDA follows a night of elegance, debauchery and manipulation as secrets, and their consequences, unravel. Tessa Thompson stuns alongside a stellar ensemble of Hoss/Poots/Bateman; the film requires some patience (intentionally) as the tension builds and the web of lies expands

SENTIMENTAL VALUE brilliantly explores artistic expression as a pathway for healing from generational trauma in this moving, emotional journey of reconciliation. Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning all deliver sublime performances as well
