Deathstalker (2025) 89% EDIT “Fun movie. Not much else to say about it, though.” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review It Takes a Village (2026) EDIT “Amiable but undemanding, It Takes a Village exists in aggressively Just Fine territory.” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Giant Falls (2026) EDIT “The Giant Falls works pretty well for an hour, then quickly loses its agency as a complex, moving melodrama. It’s not really a waste of time, but it squanders some of its potential and is ultimately unsatisfying. ” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Pizza Movie (2026) 78% EDIT “Kocher and McElhaney structure the film like a homemade pie topped with whatever miscellania they found in the fridge.” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Eat Pray Bark (2026) EDIT “Annoyingly insubstantial, Eat Pray Bark quickly dissipates from the memory like a Yorkie yip into a blustery gale.” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “It’s still easy to feel invested in what happens in Fire and Ash, especially within Cameron’s fully formed, conceptualized and executed vision.” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 30% EDIT “The film offers up two good kills, a disembowelment and a ditty with a beer tap, but they’re wasted in this crushingly mediocre slop pile.” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% EDIT “Here’s hoping Layton keeps making tight, modestly ambitious genre films like Crime 101, and doesn’t fall prey to big-studio franchise fare. We need more movies like this. ” – Decider Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% EDIT “Wuthering Heights, wuthering blights on traditional literature. Approach it like it’s a very expensive soap opera and you’ll have a pretty damn good time.” – Decider Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Anemone (2025) 52% EDIT “A disappointing return for one of the all-time greats.” – Decider Apr 1, 2026 Full Review 53 Sundays (2026) EDIT “53 Sundays is a succinctly funny and insightful character study brimming over with well-written dialogue.” – Decider Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Bambi: The Reckoning (2025) 59% EDIT “This movie is boiled butt served on stale saltines with a side of moldering beets, and it sucks carp cloacas. ” – Decider Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Versa (2026) EDIT “We can set aside our cynicism about Hollywood bulldozing us with so many films about grief and loss – there’s plenty of room for this very small film about very large emotions. ” – Decider Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 78% EDIT “The borderline-tryhard flippancy of Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice may be divisive, but my aging Xer take on it is, more of you will take it than leave it. ” – Decider Mar 30, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 85% EDIT “Let’s call it PFOAT: Perfectly Fine Of All Time. The “P” is silent.” – Decider Mar 30, 2026 Full Review The Red Line (2026) EDIT “The Red Line is uneven, but smart and thematically vigorous when it needs to be.” – Decider Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Pretty Lethal (2026) 56% EDIT “Pretty Lethal proves that ballet is hard, but maybe making good movies is harder.” – Decider Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “Send Help meets and occasionally exceeds expectations for late-career Raimi nuttiness.” – Decider Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% EDIT “The director’s visual approach to the material reflects our modern-day eye-crossing experience of constant information-bombardment, which is to say it’s no fun whatsoever. ” – Decider Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) 93% EDIT “Sisu: Road to Revenge is genius-level idiocy.” – Decider Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 90% EDIT “ Knight carefully arranges the thematic chess pieces for maximum drama.” – Decider Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Terri Joe: Missionary in Miami (2026) EDIT “Welp. Terri Joe’s transition from short-form comedy to long-form feature tends to be problematic. As ever, what’s funny for two minutes is tough to sustain for 80. ” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Country Doctor (2025) EDIT “ During a time of such widespread duress, Country Doctor is a feelgood story that might be just what the doctor ordered. ” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Cut (2024) 67% EDIT “This Cut is so shallow, it doesn’t even need stitches.” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review It's Dorothy! (2025) EDIT “Its lack of focus doesn’t detract from its entertainment value.” – Decider Mar 19, 2026 Full Review
