★★★★ This emotional and deeply affecting adaptation of Stephen King's dystopian novel gruellingly explores the depths of human endurance, elevated by unforgettable performances from Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson.

Highest 2 Lowest (2025)

★★★ Despite Spike Lee's bold stylistic flourishes in this jazz-infused spin on a Kurosawa classic, his latest joint stumbles with erratic pacing and a distracting upbeat soundtrack that drains away any sense of peril.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)

★★1/2 Lacking in freights and originality, the film pivots the spotlight onto the Warrens themselves, casting the real-life paranormal investigators as daring pioneers despite their exploits remaining dubious decades later.

Caught Stealing (2025)

★★★1/2 Austin Butler electrifies every scene with majestic charm in this surprisingly fun crime caper from Darren Aronofsky, though the director's signature grit sometimes clouds the film's light-hearted tone.

The Life of Chuck (2024)

★★ I found myself surprisingly unmoved by Mike Flanagan's TIFF winner, A hollow experience that tries to disguise its narrative void with a shallow meditation on life and death.

Eddington (2025)

★★★1/2 Stellar performances and Aster's fearless direction pull you into this powder keg of a town, but by juggling too many sensitive topics, the films feels as subtle as a knife to the head.
