Aaron Sorkin’s “The Social Reckoning” offers up a toothless political thriller that seems to thoroughly distrust its audience.

Let’s sit and enjoy Method, a grim reaper of a film crawling inside the dangers of indie filmmaking with unsupervised psychopathic creatives.

‘Found Alive’ tests your patience, then gives you a reason not to give up entirely. Its sluggish pace and dull stretches make for a wearying watch, yet the lead performance keeps an otherwise unengaging film from becoming a complete loss.

Chaos can give a film momentum, but it can also swallow any sense of direction. ‘The Idiot(s)’ falls into the latter trap. Our LFF 2026 review examines a film whose disorder becomes the thing to endure rather than a reason to stay engaged.

There’s a point where surrendering to a film’s madness becomes waiting for it to stop. ‘Hot Spot’ crosses that line, pushing its psychedelic sci-fi nightmare beyond the point of fascination. Our LFF 2026 review considers a film that doesn’t know when enough is enough.

Sense and Sensibility captivates through its beautiful pageantry and showstopping performances, while also speaking to the world we live in today.

A thriller can keep you guessing without getting under your skin. ‘Verity’ delivers the turns, but its move to the screen comes with a softer edge. The result offers plenty to untangle while leaving readers missing the book’s more biting impact.

‘Monster Mia’ has charm to spare, but its little flashes of bite keep the sweetness interesting. It’s a monster movie whose appeal comes from knowing when to be endearing and when to show its teeth.

Darkness can make an audience lean forward, searching the frame for something they hope not to find. ‘Infirmary’ leaves that attention unrewarded. This found-footage horror trades on the promise of unseen terror, but the wait for a scare becomes its own exercise in boredom.

Rick Cutter’s The Grid Unplugged starts with electric cars and ends on a failing power grid. The documentary makes a common-sense pitch for a moon-shot plan to fix it.
