Alpha
2026 · IndieWire
All credit to a newly minted Palme d'Or-winner for having the courage to step out of their comfort zone, but "Alpha" is an insufferable misfire.
The Substance
2024 · IndieWire
'The Substance' is an epic, audacious, and insanely gross body horror masterpiece—an immensely, unstoppably, ecstatically demented fairy tale about female self-hatred.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
2026 · IndieWire · Jul 2026
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' should have been the movie that got the MCU back on track. Instead, it epitomizes why things have gone off the rails.
Toy Story 5
2026 · IndieWire · Jun 2026
Pixar's marquee franchise may have outgrown its original heroes, but "Toy Story 5" suggests that the series is only getting sharper with age.
Disclosure Day
2026 · IndieWire · Jun 2026
Spielberg returns to one of his favorite subjects with a fun and goofy popcorn movie that shows how far he's come in the last 50 years.

Marty Supreme
2025 · IndieWire · Dec 2025
Josh Safdie's massive ping-pong masterpiece makes 'Uncut Gems' feel like a warm-up rally. Timothée Chalamet's legendary performance anchors an exhilarating American epic about the true cost of greatness.
TRON: Ares
2025 · IndieWire · Oct 2025
An AI Jared Leto Discovers His Humanity in a Sleek but Programmatic Sequel
One Battle After Another
2025 · IndieWire · Sep 2025
Paul Thomas Anderson's paranoid comedy-thriller epic is the first movie of its size to fully crystallize how insane it feels to be alive right now.
Sinners
2025 · IndieWire · Apr 2025
'Sinners' is Ryan Coogler's best movie so far — a bloody, bluesy, and throbbingly fun vampire saga led by Michael B. Jordan's twin performances and a phenomenal cast.
The Amateur
2025 · IndieWire · Apr 2025
This decent spy thriller stars the erstwhile Mr. Robot as a CIA cryptographer who doesn't need a gun to avenge his murdered wife.
A Working Man
2025 · IndieWire · Mar 2025
Statham re-teams with the director of "The Beekeper" for another smooth-brained piece of schlock that takes full advantage of his screen persona.
Kraven the Hunter
2024 · IndieWire · Dec 2024
An inspired villain turn from Alessandro Nivola is all that elevates this above a 'Madame Web'-level misfire.
KILL
2024 · IndieWire · Jul 2024
Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's ultra-violent delight 'Kill' starts as a cheesy action-romance before veering into hardcore, head-smashing mayhem. One of the best pure action movies since 'The Raid'.
Inside Out 2
2024 · IndieWire · Jun 2024
Pixar's obsession with universality leads to 'Inside Out 2,' which feels more like a corporate spreadsheet than a glimpse into a real person's brain.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
2024 · IndieWire · Mar 2024
Adam Wingard's sequel is the best MonsterVerse movie since 2014's Godzilla, which is reason enough to give this series a reboot.
