“Jamarcus Rose & Da 5 Bullet Holes” is my favorite Marcellus Cox film so far. A moving story about mentorship, potential & family. Catch it tonight at Roxbury International Film Festival, MassArt, Boston, 5:30–7:30 PM. sarahgvincentviews.com/cutting-edge...

On 6/22/26, went to the #Supergirl screening. #MillyAlcock #EveRidley #DavidCorenswet #JasonMomoa #MatthiasSchoenaerts #DavidKrumholtz #EmilyBeecham #FerdinandKingsley #EmilyPiggford #BruceLennox #KadiffKirwan #ThalissaTeixeira #AshaSoetan #CraigGillespie #AnaNogueira #BokoHaram

“Unidentified” (2025) is the rare murder mystery that gets better after the reveal. A gripping Saudi thriller about misogyny, grief & the assumptions we bring to every investigation. I loved this movie. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/unide...

“Toy Story 5” (2026) is the franchise’s best film. Instead of blaming technology, it explores loneliness, friendship, community & connection with surprising nuance, humor and heart. Jessie finally gets her moment. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/toy-s...

“Toy Story 4” (2019) asks what happens when your purpose disappears. Woody grapples with life after being a favorite toy while Forky, Bo Peep & a host of lost toys challenge everything he believes about belonging. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/toy-s...

“Toy Story 3” (2010) turns toy abandonment anxiety into a prison break horror movie. The stakes are bigger. The villains are crueler. The adventure is thrilling. It is also the franchise's bleakest chapter. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/toy-s...

“Toy Story 2” (1999) asks a surprisingly tough question: is it better to be loved and eventually forgotten or preserved forever behind glass? A smart, funny sequel that trades rivalry for fears of aging, loss & purpose. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/toy-s...

Nearly 30 years later, “Toy Story” (1995) still holds up. Beneath the laughs is a story about insecurity, status, mortality, change and learning that self-worth can’t come from external validation. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/toy-s...

Expecting Robin Hood action? Think again. “The Death of Robin Hood” (2026) is an artsy meditation on guilt, redemption & the gap between legend and reality. Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer shine, but the film may frustrate its target audience. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/the-d...

Simone Ashley does everything she can to elevate “This Tempting Madness” (2025), a psychological thriller about memory loss, suspicion & uncomfortable truths. Gorgeous to look at, but the mystery is more frustrating than suspenseful. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/this-...

Soccer fans, history buffs & anyone interested in race, immigration and perseverance should catch “Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story” tonight at the opening night of the Roxbury International Film Festival, MFA Boston, 7–10 PM. Review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/trans...

On Thursday, 6/11/26, went to the #ToyStory5 screening. #JoanCusack #ScarlettSpears #ConanOBrien #TomHanks #TimAllen #GretaLee #MykalMichelleHarris #ShelbyRabara #CraigRobinson #LoriAlan #JayHernandez #KrysMarshall #McKennaHarris #AndrewStanton #TaylorSwift #animation #Pixar

A queer crime boss. Betrayal. Toxic masculinity. Fascism. “The Devil Queen” (1974) is a wild, unpredictable masterpiece that deserves to be seen on the big screen. Playing tonight at 7 PM at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Seaport. Review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/the-d...

On Wednesday, 6/10/26, went to #TheDeathofRobinHood screening. #HughJackman #JodieComer #MurrayBartlett #FaithDelaney #BillSkarsgard #NoahJupe #AlfieLawless #CliveRussell #KatieBreen #FintanShevlin #MichaelHanna #JadeCroot #MichaelSarnoski #A24 #RobinHood #FrancisJamesChild

The Ambriz brothers have made a masterpiece with I Am Frankelda. It’s an instant children’s fantasy classic that feels like a weighted, 3D storybook come to life. If you have a creative child, this is absolutely required viewing. Full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/i-am-...

Blue Film is a hard watch with a provocative premise, but it's exactly why movies should exist. Reed Birney and Kieron Moore are highly effective in a story that safely explores topics that rightfully enrages. Full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/blue-...

The Furious is a masterclass in action filmmaking. Director Kenji Tanigaki delivers a movie so spectacular that no one should be allowed to make an action film until they watch it. It’s a guaranteed cult classic. Read my full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/the-f...

Silent Friend is an artsy-fartsy film centering on life revolving around an 1832 gingko tree. Tony Leung Chiu-wai is fantastic, but the film veers into shaky sci-fi territory in its 70s section that cheapens its cinematic cred. Read my full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/silen...

Spielberg’s latest alien flick, Disclosure Day, has a great ensemble cast, but its shaky mythology and laughable ending make it a 2-hour, 25-minute letdown. Emily Blunt shines, but the narrative logic just won't hunt. Read my full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/discl...

Kraken is an old-fashioned Norwegian creature feature with a slow burn, top-notch above-ground stalking, and solid practical effects. Don't expect nonstop action, but it's an entertaining flick that makes a meal out of its B-movie premise. Full review here: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/kraken/

On Monday, 6/8/26, went to #DisclosureDay screening. #EmilyBlunt #EveHewson #ColinFirth #JoshOConnor #HenryLloydHughes #ColmanDomingo #ElizabethMarvel #WyattRussell #HettiennePark #TommyMartinez #PriyankaKedia #BrandonWilson #JeremyShamos #JimParrack #StevenSpielberg #DavidKoepp

If Radha Mitchell is in a genre movie, it’s a must-see. Seven Snipers is a solid, tense action thriller that keeps you glued to the screen. A primal standoff with Tim Roth playing a cold, relentless villain. Read my full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/seven...

If you love outlaw sweetheart road trips, Carolina Caroline is one of the best films out this weekend. Samara Weaving & Kyle Gallner have undeniable chemistry, but can you root for them as they commit evil acts? Read my full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/carol...

“Masters of the Universe” (2026) features Jared Leto as a delightfully bonkers Skeletor & a few laughs, but a bloated runtime, weak chemistry and an identity crisis keep it from becoming the next great fantasy adventure. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/maste...

“Mistura” (2025) serves up gorgeous visuals, strong performances & a compelling story of reinvention in 1960s Peru, but beneath the sumptuous food and uplifting journey lies a fairy tale about privilege that raises thorny questions. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/mistura

“Chum” (2026) mixes serial killers, sharks, class warfare & climate change, then somehow makes all of it boring. Alice Eve tries, but bad dialogue, endless flashbacks & cardboard characters sink this shark thriller. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/chum/

On Monday, 6/1/26, went to the #MastersoftheUniverse screening. #NicholasGalitzine #IdrisElba #JaredLeto #AlisonBrie #KristenWiig #CamilaMendes #MorenaBaccarin #JamesPurefoy #ChristiaanBettridge #TravisKnight #ChrisButler #AaronNee #AdamNee #DaveCallaham #AlexLitvak #MichaelFinch

Think of a mournful, lyrical "Freaky Friday" with shades of Hereditary without the horror. Lucía Aleñar Iglesias' debut, "Forastera," is a sensitive, transcendent drama about grief. Zoe Stein is the 2nd coming of Saoirse Ronan. Read my full movie review here: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/foras...

“Pressure” turns weather forecasting into edge-of-your-seat drama. Andrew Scott shines in a tense historical thriller about the impossible decisions behind D-Day. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/press...

Forget Backrooms. See "Pitfall" (2025), an old-fashioned, spectacular slasher in the vein of Stephen King that completely defies your expectations. Randy Couture knocks it out of the park as a deluded, MacGyver-style hunter. Read my full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/pitfa...

Terrific sound design and a fantastic Leo Woodall performance power “Tuner,” which blends music, crime & emotional vulnerability into a tense, stylish thriller. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/tuner/

A cadaver, an eating disorder, ancestor veneration, hungry ghosts, and body horror collide in Natalie Erika James’ disturbing “Saccharine.” Uneven in places, but packed with haunting imagery and rich thematic ideas. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/sacch...

“Smothered” turns an Indonesian folktale into a deeply unsettling psychological thriller. Repetitive at times, but its ouroboros-like structure, haunting imagery, and disturbing revelations linger long after the credits. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/smoth...

The Last Viking is violent, quirky, messy, and weirdly heartwarming. Mads Mikkelsen is the glue holding all of it together. Even when Anders Thomas Jensen loses the plot a little, I was locked in. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/the-l...

Kontinental 25 sneaks up on you. Radu Jude turns guilt, homelessness, routine cruelty, and national identity into something quietly devastating, funny, insightful, and surreal. See it on a big screen if you can. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/konti...

Backrooms starts strong, gets disorienting in the right ways, and Renate Reinsve and Chiwetel Ejiofor do the work, but the horror is anticlimactic, the mythology is thin, and the payoff is a letdown. Full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/backr...

The Yeti has blood, guts, a talented cast, and a decent setup, but it still plays like a movie you forget is on then you wander out of the room. I watched it twice to be sure. Nope. Total snoozefest. sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/the-y...

This Memorial Day week, it is time to reflect on 8/8/24 when MA Gov Healey signed the HERO Act. The bill evolved but the law was the same at its core. Now more people have access to help than those in the past. How are you honoring the dead and fixing the mistakes of the past?

This Memorial Day week, it is time to reflect on one of the proudest moments of my career, serving as the lawyer who drafted most of the provisions and edited the bill. On November 9, 2023, MA Gov Healey made the first public announcement for the HERO Act.

Boots Riley's “I Love Boosters” is stylish, chaotic, funny & packed with magnetic performances. Keke Palmer and the ensemble cast especially understand exactly what movie they’re in. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/i-lov...

“Passenger” turns van life into horror movie nightmare fuel with a demon, eerie, but half-baked road mythology & some genuinely effective sequences from André Øvredal. A solid supernatural road trip thriller. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/passe...

“Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” reflects both the strengths & limitations of contemporary franchise storytelling. The emotional bond between Din & Grogu still works, even when the movie plays things a little too safe. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/star-...

“The Mandalorian” works best when it slows down enough to become a lonely space western about survival, community & parenthood instead of franchise maintenance. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/television/t...

“The Book of Boba Fett” keeps interrupting its own story because it seems more interested in other characters & future franchise setup than Boba Fett himself. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/television/t...

“Top Gun: Maverick” understands something the original only hinted at: Maverick isn’t just reckless. He’s aging, grieving & terrified of the slow creep of becoming history and oblivion as technology & time encroach. My review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/top-g...
