Critics largely admired The Long Walk as a bleak, gripping Stephen King adaptation powered by Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, though several wanted more depth beneath the brutality.
★★★★☆
The Medium is a Thai-Korean mockumentary about a shaman family in rural Isan, a slow-burning folk horror that turns genuinely frightening before an extreme finale.
Critics were split on The Running Man: many enjoyed Glen Powell and the kinetic action in Edgar Wright's Stephen King adaptation, while others found it overlong, blunt in its satire and short on Wright's usual wit.
Most critics found The Super Mario Galaxy Movie bright, busy and packed with Nintendo references but thin on story and character, though a few enjoyed it as a breezy, affectionate romp.
Most critics hailed Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery as a darker, funny and soulful Benoit Blanc case led by a standout Josh O'Connor, though some found it long and light on detection.
Critics widely praised Warfare as a gruelling, immersive real-time recreation of an Iraq War firefight, though some argued its refusal to give context or characters leaves it emotionally and politically hollow.
Critics largely praised Weapons as a clever, darkly funny and superbly structured horror mystery from Zach Cregger, though some felt its answers were less frightening than its questions.
Critics largely welcomed Zootopia 2 as a warm, funny and handsome sequel carried by the Judy and Nick partnership, while noting a weaker mystery than the original and a crowded story.
★★★★½
12 Angry Men is Sidney Lumet's 1957 jury-room drama, a lean study of prejudice and reasonable doubt that still grips like a thriller.
★★★★½
12th Fail is Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Hindi drama about a village boy chasing India's toughest civil service exam, an underdog story that earns its tears honestly.
★★★★½
1917 is Sam Mendes's First World War race against time, staged to look like one continuous shot, and a rare technical feat that keeps its humanity.
★★★★☆
2001: A Space Odyssey is Stanley Kubrick's vast, enigmatic science fiction landmark, still visually unmatched, though its chilly patience will not suit everyone.
★★★★☆
20th Century Girl is a Korean first-love drama set in 1999, a tender, nostalgic romance that runs on the charm of Kim You-jung and Byeon Woo-seok.
★★★☆☆
22 Bahnen adapts Caroline Wahl's bestselling novel about a student raising her little sister. Luna Wedler is excellent, but the film is tidier than its material.
★★★½☆
27 Steps of May is Ravi L. Bharwani's near-wordless Indonesian drama about a young woman and her father after an assault, a demanding but deeply felt film.
★★★★☆
28 Days Later is Danny Boyle's raw, fast-moving British outbreak horror, a film that reshaped the modern zombie story even if its final act divides viewers.
★★★★½
3 Idiots is Rajkumar Hirani's hugely popular Hindi campus comedy, a warm, funny attack on rote learning that still lands despite its length and broad jokes.
★★★★½
8½ is Federico Fellini's dazzling film about a director who cannot make his next film, a funny, dreamlike self-portrait and cinema's great study of creative block.
★★★★☆
A Beautiful Mind is Ron Howard's Oscar-winning drama about mathematician John Nash, a moving, polished biopic lifted by Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly.
★★★★☆
A Different Man is Aaron Schimberg's darkly funny New York fable about a man who changes his face and not himself, led by Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson.
★★★★½
A Dog's Will is Brazil's beloved comedy about two penniless tricksters in the northeastern backlands, a quick-witted, irreverent folk tale with real heart.
★★★★½
A Prophet is Jacques Audiard's French prison epic about a young inmate who learns power from the inside, a gripping crime drama built around Tahar Rahim.
★★★½☆
A Quiet Place Part II is John Krasinski's tense, efficient horror sequel, taking the Abbotts beyond their farm; it is well crafted but less surprising than the original.
★★★★½
A Real Pain is Jesse Eisenberg's funny, aching road movie about two cousins on a Holocaust heritage tour of Poland, lit up by Kieran Culkin's Oscar-winning turn.
