Last updated: November 3, 2026 It’s Election Day, and whatever happens at the polls tonight, the movies have been here before. These are the best modern politically-adjacent, election-based, politician-oriented movies I’ve reviewed, from campaign rom-coms and a papal election to Washington scandals and pitch-black satire, plus where to stream every one right now. If you’re...
Gorgeously shot, beautifully scored, and punishingly long, ‘La Bola Negra’ is a painterly queer epic that’s far easier to admire than to adore. Its individual moments dazzle, but…
Strikingly funny, deeply poignant, and bristling with big ideas, ‘Wild Horse Nine’ ranks among Martin McDonagh’s sharpest works, powered by an all-time pairing in John Malkovich and Sam…
Wickedly funny, emotionally honest, and frankly quite beautiful, ‘Club Kid’ is a ravishing triple threat debut from Jordan Firstman, whose turn as…
Every Martin McDonagh movie ranked, from In Bruges and Three Billboards to Banshees of Inisherin, ahead of Wild Horse Nine.
The art of cinema is being systematically devalued and reduced to its lowest common denominator. Anyways, here’s what’s streaming now!
‘Primetime’ transports us back to the early aughts, when Chris Hansen and the ‘To Catch a Predator’ crew dominated the airwaves. Lance…
Zach Cregger hasn't necessarily one-upped himself with 'Resident Evil' so much as shifted his focus to create a well-crafted, goopy horror-comedy that…
How To with John Wilson devotees will appreciate that The History of Concrete is little more than a supersized episode of his…
A Day-Glo piñata stuffed with folklore, friendship and feelings, ‘Forgotten Island’ is DreamWorks firing on every creative cylinder at once. It’s exhausting…
Predominantly a beautifully photographed post-apocalyptic character study, 'The Dog Stars' is at its best when focused on grief, companionship, and what makes…
'The Invite’ from Olivia Wilde is a wildly funny swinger comedy that explores how relationships open, close, and end in hilarious and…
You ask great questions.
Before we’d exchanged more than a few words, Gregg Araki was already laughing. He spotted the blue “HO LIFE OR NO LIFE” hat I’d chosen for the interview and asked whether I had worn it specifically for him. “Of course,” I told him. Given the nature of I Want Your Sex, it felt appropriate. I...
Now streaming: The Invite is streaming on HBO Max as of October 23, 2026. When The Invite premiered at Sundance earlier this year, it landed as one of the festival’s sharpest surprises: a sex comedy with a soul, powered by four actors all operating at full voltage. (I called it an A-grade “zesty swinger comedy...
When I told John Magaro I’d watched Omaha twice and was still recovering, he laughed and apologized. It’s a tough movie, but one that’s nevertheless rewarding and Magaro’s powerful, largely wordless turn powers the film confidently. Cole Webley’s debut feature, written by Robert Machoian, is a road trip movie with a dark destination, a slow-burn...
