Macon Blair’s 'Idiots' is a shaggy road-trip comedy about two shitheads driving another shithead to rehab. The performances, mainly Dave Franco’s, drive the piece toward comedic highs, but it feels too underwritten throughout to be…

One of the finest films of 2026, Matthew Johnson's 'Tony' is a masterful exploration of one man's search for meaning and the demons we must continue to stave…
'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' from writer-director Jane Schoenbrun is a deeply meta horror curio whose commentary on the genre and the place of queerness within it…
For about five years now, the internet’s favorite armchair diagnosis has been “superhero fatigue.” We’re all familiar with the bit. Every underperforming cape movie gets the same postmortem: audiences are DONE, the genre is COOKED, the well is DRY, Kevin Feige should salt the earth and move onto greener pastures. We’ve all been writing the...
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...
Gregg Araki delivers a provocative, visually vibrant erotic thriller anchored by terrific performances from Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman with 'I Want…
You ask great questions.
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 that’s equally hilarious and therapeutic” in my review out of the fest.) What’s most...
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...
Bob Odenkirk does not read as an action star. He knows this. You know this. And yet, here he is, three films deep into an unlikely second act as a guy who takes and delivers beatings on screen with the kind of bruised conviction that most traditional action leads can’t touch. With Normal, directed by...
The art of cinema is being systematically devalued and reduced to its lowest common denominator. Anyways, here’s what’s streaming now!
'Evil Dead Burn' is a sadistic addition that proudly continues the franchise's tradition of treating its characters with extreme cruelty while gifting…
Kane Parsons' 'Backrooms' is a disorienting nightmare that derives its horror as much from its kaleidoscopic, alien architecture as its unsettling meditation…
‘Obsession’ feels like a dark-magic witch’s brew of Together, Fede Álvarez’s 2013 Evil Dead, and Big: a horrifying black comedy that takes…
David Lowery's hypnotic 'Mother Mary' is a breakup song filtered through the lens of a ghost story, mounted with spectacular production elements…
'I Swear', Kirk Jones’ biographical account of Tourette’s advocate John Davidson, is a moving and often very funny drama that finds compassion…
This 'Faces of Death' reimagining from Daniel Goldhaber isn’t going to convert any new horror fans, but this overtly schlocky, grindhouse B-movie…
