Wicked: For Good (2025)

★★★ The eagerly awaited sequel offers a competent return to the hit musical, but despite Erivo and Grande's best efforts, its wavering tone and less memorable songs keep it from soaring to the heights of its predecessor.

The Running Man (2025)

★★1/2 Edgar Wright maintains the relentless energy of his earlier films with some well choreographed action, but this underwhelming take on Stephen King's "The Running Man" stumbles, lacking the filmmaker's signature polish and wit.

Die My Love (2025)

★★★1/2 Lynne Ramsay's fearless portrayal of postpartum depression might challenge some viewers with its experimental edge, yet Jennifer Lawrence's raw performance and daring visuals make for an unforgettable exploration of mental health.

Hamnet (2025)

★★★★ Jessie Buckley commands the screen with an Oscar-worthy turn in Chloe Zhao's gorgeously crafted Shakespearean drama, a film that packs an emotional punch but lacks the nuance of Zhao's more modest earlier projects.

Roofman (2025)

★★★★ Derek Cianfrance delivers a true-crime caper that feels both light on its feet and deeply heartfelt, letting Channing Tatum shine with such irresistible charm that you cannot help but cheer for the real-life serial burglar.

Frankenstein (2025)

★★★1/2 Every frame glows with del Toro's reverence for the source material, but this unwavering faithfulness leaves little room for unexpected delights. Coupled with sluggish pacing, the result sometimes feels like a beautiful but tiresome journey.
