Michael says: “Excellent procedural about an internal affairs investigation based on true facts in Paris, 2018. Léa Drucker is excellent as the lead investigator, and the script balances just the right amount of light humor with the serious subject matter.

Chris says: “Winnipeg native Matthew Rankin’s second feature UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE was my favorite film of 2025. Imagining a Canada colonized by Iran, it was inventive, absurd, sidesplitting and in the end, oddly affecting. One could apply those descriptors in varying

Take Me Home
Brett says: “TAKE ME HOME is a title phrase that could connote multiple associations before one dives in, and that loaded phrase is why it’s a perfect theme for a movie that touches on a variety of life encounters. Liz

Michael says: “This film has a lot of controversy swirling around it, and I guess I can see why, but I thought it was a fascinating look at the way people view what is right and what is wrong, and

Chris says: “Rest assured, John Malkovich is as great here as the hype suggests, leaning heavily into the exquisite bitch mode only he does so well. Sam Rockwell’s nearly his equal, playing off him wonderfully with just the right amount

Michael says: “This was a whole lot of movie to basically show how corrupt Russia is. And I didn’t know it was a remake Claude Chabrol’s THE UNFAITHFUL WIFE, and later, Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL. The background of Russian corruption elevated

Club Kid
Chris says: “Despite the ridiculous, ‘Big Daddy but for gays’ premise and writer/director/star Jordan Firstman more compelling a presence than artist (for now), I liked this and fully understood its crowd-pleasing reputation because man, he has so much unexpected potential.

Fatherland
Michael says: “Beautifully shot film with terrific acting, but the story of Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika returning to Germany in 1949 after living in America for 10 years was underwhelming. Glorious closing scene. 3 1/2 cats”

Chris says: “What I said about Lee Chang-dong goes double for Ryusuke Hamaguchi as his latest deserves all the attention and acclaim of his breakthrough DRIVE MY CAR. Centered on a director of a nursing home in France (a superlative Virginie

Possible Love
Michael says: “After a turgid and didactic first hour, things turned around and this exploration of class and labor redeemed itself by exploring the trauma of violence and a insurmountable differences between the blue-collar and the wealthy. Two couples find
