The Banshees of Inisherin

Rotten Tomatoes: 96% | IMDb: 7.7/10

Read Our Review

The Banshees of Inisherin is an award-winning film from writer-director Martin McDonagh. A unique dark comedy, McDonagh has suggested pulling from his own real life as inspiration for the film, which was nominated for eight Oscars. The Banshees of Inisherin focuses on the deterioration of a friendship between long-time buddies Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) and folk musician Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson). Through a simple yet charmingly bizarre story, The Banshees of Inisherin curiously explores themes of adult friendship and loss. Our critic Brian Formo praised the film for showing “an aspect of the human condition that other films have rarely touched.” – Yael Tygiel

No One Will Save You

Rotten Tomatoes: 81% | IMDb: 6.3/10

Read Our Review

From writer Brian Duffield (Cocaine Bear), No One Will Save You serves as his second directorial project and is absolutely terrifying. A deviation from her more familiar dramatic roles, Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick) stars in the ambitious science-fiction horror film, dazzling in the role of Brynn, a young woman struggling with anxiety yet enjoying the solitude of living in her childhood home before being forced to confront otherworldly foes. While the story is founded on a seemingly simple alien invasion premise, No One Will Save You thrills by utilizing the rural environment, heightening suspense with light and shadows, and showcasing Dever’s captivating talent. Critic Samantha Coley calls it “a mix of high-concept and classic genre tropes that wouldn’t work without a compelling and captivating lead performance from Dever.” – Yael Tygiel

Read Our Review

Based on Foster by Claire Keegan, The Quiet Girl is a deeply moving coming-of-age story set in Ireland. Directed by Colm Bairéad, who also wrote the screenplay, The Quiet Girl revolves around a young girl (Catherine Clinch) in 1981 who, after being sent to live on a farm with distant relatives, ultimately finds herself and the ability to be loved. Co-starring Carrie Crowley and Andrew Bennett, The Quiet Girl is highlighted by truly stunning cinematography and a gorgeous use of Dublin and the countryside, grounding the narrative that touches on universal themes, such as growing up, grief, and finding family. Critic Emma Kiely called it “one of the most authentic, naturalistic, and beautiful Irish films ever made.” – Yael Tygiel

Prey

Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | IMDb: 7.1/10

Read Our Review

With Prey, the latest film in the Predator franchise, director Dan Trachtenberg simplifies the concept of hunter vs. hunted, placing the iconic villain against Naru (an excellent Amber Midthunder), a Comanche woman in 1719. Prey might be the best film in the franchise, as Trachtenberg builds tension beautifully, and allows for moments of quiet and consideration in this extremely violent and exciting action film. By bringing this franchise back to basics, Trachtenberg and his fantastic cast up the excitement and brilliance of this idea, and make this franchise better than it has been in years. Carly Lane raved about the film, saying “Prey conclusively works by taking the Predator franchise back to basics, stripping away much of the technology and giant explosions in favor of focusing on a character-driven narrative of struggle and triumph. It doesn’t mean that this movie skimps on the action — far from it — but it’s also proof of how good these stories can be on a smaller scale.” — Ross Bonaime

Rye Lane

Rotten Tomatoes: 98% | IMDb: 7.2/10

Read Our Review

Raine Allen-Miller directs Rye Lane, a beautiful British romantic comedy starring up-and-coming actors David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah (Class). Taking place over the course of a single day in South London, Rye Lane follows a couple of twentysomethings (Jonsson and Oparah) as they connect over recent break-ups. Co-written by Nathan Bryon and Tom Melia, Rye Lane balances heart and humor, providing a funny and touching story about how a chance encounter can alter everything. Cleverly embedding the audience in a subculture of a particular neighborhood, Rye Lane finds a way to simultaneously be hyper-specific yet universal. According to critic Chase Hutchinson’s review, “Rye Lane never has any trouble staying upright as the endlessly charismatic characters continue to stroll along…just getting to observe their little corner of the world finds a real sense of love for the details.”– Yael Tygiel

Triangle of Sadness

Rotten Tomatoes: 72% | IMDb: 7.3/10

Read Our Review

Easily comparable to The Menu and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Triangle of Sadness is an award-winning, wickedly comical satire written and directed by Ruben Östlund in his English feature debut. Through humorous exaggerations, Triangle of Sadness follows a celebrity couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), on an exclusive cruise for the obscenely wealthy on a superyacht. When the elite vessel encounters a brutal storm, survivors of the unexpected tragedy are left to fend for themselves. Triangle of Sadness also stars Dolly de Leon and Woody Harrelson, who is delightfully entertaining as the yacht’s captain. – Yael Tygiel

Read Our Review

Co-written by Ben Medina with director Miles Warren, Bruiser is an insightful film starring Jalyn Hall (Till), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), and Shamier Anderson (Wynonna Earp). Bruiser is a unique coming-of-age story about a teenager’s unconventional friendship with a charismatic stranger. Serving as Warren’s debut feature, Bruiser exposes a compelling perspective on fathers, toxic masculinity, and violence, shining a light on a familiar tale through a mellow and unexpected slant. With a searingly honest script and powerful performances handling a difficult subject matter, Bruiser can be hard to watch but definitely worth the heartache. – Yael Tygiel

Fire Island is a gloriously queer comedy starring Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live), along with Joel Kim Booster (Loot), who wrote the film as well. Directed by Andrew Ahn, Fire Island is a heartfelt homage to the popular vacation spot smothered in raunchy comedy. Booster’s shrewd script follows a group of friends attempting to recreate the magic they once felt at Fire Island by ensuring this summer is their best one yet. Supporting Yang and Booster on screen is an incredible queer cast, including Matt Rogers (I Love That For You), Conrad Ricamora (How to Get Away with Murder), and icon Margaret Cho. Critic Ross Bonaime praised the cast’s chemistry, stating that “Fire Island’s best moments are when this group of friends is just hanging out and riffing off each other. Matos and Rogers in particular are hilarious together.” – Yael Tygiel

The Worst Person in the World

Rotten Tomatoes: 96% | IMDb: 7.7/10

Read Our Review

Joachim Trier’s overwhelming third film in his Oslo Trilogy explores how the loves of our life completely evolve who we become. In the opening prologue of The Worst Person in the World, we see as the film’s main character Julie (the brilliant Renate Reinsve) reinvents herself multiple times, unsure that she’s making a decision in her youth that will affect the rest of her life. Trier tells Julie’s story in chapters, each one a new example of how Julie’s choices will define her – for better or for worse. Trier does this with some of the most inventive and captivating filmmaking this year, quirky, without ever being obnoxiously so. But Trier taps into the fear of growing up without entirely being sure who you want to become, or what path you want your life to take. Through The Worst Person in the World, Trier shows that life is all about these reinventions, these choices, these loves, and how beautiful and scary that can make life. – Ross Bonaime

Fresh

Rotten Tomatoes: 81% | IMDb: 6.7/10

Read Our Review

When it comes to movies about dating in our modern age, few go off the rails quite like Fresh. In Mimi Cave‘s directorial debut, we watch as Nora (Daisy Edgar-Jones) struggles with online dating only to have a pleasant meet-cute at a supermarket with the handsome and charming Steve (Sebastian Stan). But what might be the impetus for a rom-com quickly takes a turn for the worst when Steve’s true colors are shown. He is not just a guy who met a girl in the produce aisle but a procurer of the most taboo of meats: human meat. Stan is surprisingly enjoyable as a cannibal who kidnaps women and keep them alive while harvesting everything from their breasts to a limb. For those looking for the most unconventional of date night movies, give Fresh a try, but leave the dinner for after the show. “The concept is an exciting new vehicle for a spin on some well-worn tropes, giving them a facelift for today’s audiences,” Therese Lacson wrote in her review.

Pig

Rotten Tomatoes: 97% | IMDb: 6.9/10

Read Our Review

One of the best works of 2021 that also proves Nicolas Cage is one of our greatest living actors, Pig is also a sublime reminder that some of the most remarkable films can come when you are least expecting them. It tells the story of Cage’s Rob, a former chef who has become a recluse with his truffle pig in the woods of Oregon following a profound loss. His only contact to the broader world he once knew is Alex Wolff‘s Amir who he sells truffles to, that is until his pig is stolen from him, and he will have to return to the life he used to live in Portland in order to find them. With Amir as his guide, the film becomes a journey through loss and forgiveness as Rob must make peace with the past he left behind. It is still stunning that it is Michael Sarnoski’s debut feature as it is a gorgeously shot meditation on grief that defies expectations to become one of the most moving pieces of art of recent memory. – Chase Hutchinson

Flee

Rotten Tomatoes: 98% | IMDb: 7.9/10

Read Our Review

Few films capture the devastation that is wrought on refugees as viscerally as they do in Flee. An animated work of non-fiction, documentarian Jonas Poher Rasmussen helps his childhood friend, Amin, tell the true story of his escape from Kabul, following him through his harrowing journey to Russia, a nightmarish attempt to get into Western Europe in a shipping container, before finally ending in Copenhagen. Flee is immensely personal and that is where it excels. The animation draws you into the past of Amin’s childhood, expertly evoking the immense highs and lows of his story. In many ways, it is not just a story about Amin’s struggles but also his triumphs. This Sundance award winner stayed with me long after I screened it at the festival and will irrevocably change your outlook and understanding of the struggle of refugees. – Therese Lacson

Another Round

Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 7.7/10

The winner of the 2021 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, Another Round is a movie that starts as a hilarious idea between four friends and quickly becomes a melancholy reflection on life. It begins with a mesmerizing Mads Mikkelsen as Martin who has an otherwise normal life as a teacher. However, Martin is unhappy and looking for something more. That is when he joins his other friends and fellow teachers in drinking all the time to maintain a constant buzz as a test to see how it will impact their lives. It is a sweet portrait of friendship that also becomes a somber experience as their lives begin to unravel as they push themselves too far. It is another outstanding film that unites Mikkelsen and writer-director Thomas Vinterberg, who previously collaborated on the haunting film The Hunt. However, this one also sees Mikkelsen do an impressive and cathartic dance sequence which makes it a must-see on its own. – Chase Hutchinson

Good Luck to You, Leo Grande

Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | IMDb: 7.2/10

Read Our Review

Emma Thompson stars as Nancy Stokes, a widow with grown-up children, who has never had an orgasm. She has seemingly resigned to the fact that she’ll never have one, but she still wants a night of excitement. And so, she solicits the services of sex worker, Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack). The two meet in a hotel room and so, several nights of excessive talking out of nerves (for Nancy, not Leo), trying new things, and opening up to a complete stranger ensue. Good Luck to you, Leo Grande is a modern, sex-positive story that doesn’t just revolve around sex. Thompson and McCormack have fantastic chemistry, leading the entire film with ease. It’s as hilarious as it is heartwarming, telling us that it’s never too late to try things in life you always thought you never could and to embrace ourselves exactly how we are, without shame. – Emma Kiely

Titane

Read Our Review

OK, yes, Titane is the movie where a woman has sex with a car, and yes, she does get pregnant from that sexual interaction. But the brilliance of Julia Ducournau‘s film is how the first half of this story is an insane, absurd, and shocking experience, which takes a sharp turn to become one of the most touching and beautiful films about family in recent years. The fact that Ducournau can pull off both with equal excellence shows her brilliance as a writer and director. Led by Agathe Rousselle and Vincent Lindon, Titane is one of the wildest rides you’ll ever experience at the movies. — Ross Bonaime

Nomadland

Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 7.3/10

Read Our Review

Don’t let its Oscar-season prestige scare you off. The 2020 Best Picture winner is a moving and elegiac reflection of a post-recession America that still manages to capture the beauty and humanity of a country where, for countless reasons, we’ve become so disconnected from each other. The story of Nomadland follows Fern (Frances McDormand), who lost her husband, her job, and her town in the aftermath of the Great Recession. She resolves to become a nomad, living her life out of a van and traveling across the American West. The trick of Zhao’s film is that it never romanticizes Fern’s circumstances while also not falling into the trap of equating anything outside the American Dream with failure. It’s a deft, thoughtful film held together by the intelligence of Zhao’s direction and the strength of McDormand’s performance. – Matt Goldberg

Possessor

Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | IMDb: 6.5/10

Read Our Review

Possessor is not only one of the best movies of 2020, it’s also one of the best (and most disturbing!) body horror movies of the last decade, period. So, yeah, maybe watch on an empty stomach. Director Brandon Cronenbergproves he got his father’s gross-out gene as he guides the story of Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough, chameleonic as always), a high-level assassin with a strange set of skills. Tasya carries out her kills by taking control of other people’s bodies, puppeteering their thoughts and movements just long enough to finish the job. But she’s been doing this macabre job for too long, losing her own sense of self every time she jumps into a new shell. Cronenberg cooks up a host of horrifying images, turning Tasya’s fractured psyche into the image of a melting plastic mask. But it’s the questions Possessor asks that stick with you long after the credits roll, questions of what actually makes you…you? And if you suddenly weren’t “you” anymore, would you even notice? It’s very rare that a whole day goes by where I don’t think about this movie. – Vinnie Mancuso

Palm Springs

Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | IMDb: 7.4/10

Read Our Review

Palm Springs is one of the best movies of 2020, and the less you know about it going in, the better it will be. But if you need the faintest thread of a plot synopsis to give this brilliant romantic comedy a shot, then know it’s about two dirtbags (played by Samberg and Milioti) who can’t seem to escape their existence and are stuck with each other through outsized circumstances. However, being stuck in the same place allows them to realize that they may need each other more than they’d care to admit. It’s a story that sharp, sweet, funny, and thoughtful, and you’ll be grateful that you saw this one. “This is a movie that begins as one thing, but then very quickly becomes something entirely different — and it’s downright brilliant,” raves Adam Chitwood in his review. – Matt Goldberg
