★★★★½
Christopher Sanders' adaptation of Peter Brown's novel pairs lush animation with Lupita Nyong'o's voice work in a survival story that earns every tear.
Essential family viewing — a modern animated masterpiece.
★★★★☆
Josh Margolin's scam-fueled action-comedy gives June Squibb a rare starring turn — and she plays every stunt for real emotional stakes.
A crowd-pleaser with genuine heart.
★★★★★
Park and Crossingham needle smart-home gadgetry and AI anxieties without losing stop-motion's cozy handmade charm—Wallace and Gromit still deliver.
The year's best family film is also its smartest tech satire.
★★★★½
Markus Schleinzer's black-and-white Thirty Years' War drama is a masterclass in control, led by a career-best performance from Sandra Hüller.
Austere, immaculate, quietly devastating.
★★★½☆
A notorious prison becomes a pressure cooker of gore, gallows humor, and institutional rot in Joko Anwar's most purely entertaining film in years.
Splattery, savage, and a lot of fun.
★★★★☆
A three-years-unemployed man's race to prove himself before his family's Eid gathering turns into one of the year's most quietly honest comedies.
Funny, sincere, and uncomfortably relatable.
★★★★☆
İlker Çatak follows The Teachers' Lounge with a Golden Bear-winning drama about a Turkish artist couple crushed by state retaliation.
Urgent, gripping, occasionally overextended.
★★½☆☆
Funke Akindele's record-breaking family drama connects with audiences even as its glossy staging and telegraphed twists frustrate critics.
Crowd-pleasing but creatively cautious
★★★★½
A single day in 1993 Lagos becomes a devastating portrait of fatherhood, memory, and a nation on edge.
A near-perfect debut
