Islands
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: as languid as a lazy day at the beach, a perfect ploy for a story that sneaks up on you…Riley keeps us guessing, right up until the film reveals itself to be something else entirely from what we may have thought it was.

All About the Money
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: An alarming, hypnotic documentary about a radical, asshole 0.01%-er and the short-lived “revolutionary” lifestyle he bankrolls, only to run away when his interests shift, leaving others to carry the consequences.
American Doctor
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘American Doctor’ is not easy to watch, and it shouldn’t be. The images are gruesome. The message is clear. The outrage is palpable. Anything less would be journalistic malpractice.
The Big Fake
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: It plays a song we have heard too many times. It doesn’t give us enough of a reason to go down this familiar path one more time.
Big Girls Don’t Cry
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Paloma Schneideman’s ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ is a tender and intimate New Zealand coming-of-age story circa 2006, following a young girl navigating where she belongs when she doesn’t quite fit anywhere, all while entering the early stages of queer self-discovery.
Closure
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Men will literally search every inch of a river before going to therapy. In ‘Closure’, a captivating documentary about a Polish man’s relentless search for his presumed-dead son, that line isn’t just a meme. It’s the devastating truth. Staggering, philosophical, and deeply cinematic, ‘Closure’ is an overwhelming meditation on life, death, and man’s search for meaning.
Greenland 2: Migration
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Its focus isn’t on the spectacular recreation of grand disaster scenes. Like the first film, it tells an intriguing survival story that, for about two hours, keeps us on the edge of our seats.
Icefall
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: Middling action B-film.
The Lake
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Utah-native Abby Ellis makes an urgent plea for environmental intervention in ‘The Lake’, a science-driven documentary that convincingly makes its case. Just don’t expect to feel good about any of it.
The Last First: Winter K2
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A layered documentary about the costs of chasing records in modern mountaineering as the pursuit becomes increasingly “accessible” to paid adventurers. ‘The Last First: Winter K2′ from documentarian Amir Bar-Lev is a foreseeable tragedy of epic proportions with one hell of a backdrop.
Mother of Flies
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Yes, there are a lot of demonic earmarks from burning corpses to parasites and the unnatural, but there are just as many examples of love transcending reason too.
Mr. Nobody Against Putin
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Working secretly with Talankin, who codirects the film by choosing what to document, writer/director David Borenstein exposes how Putin, in his quest to restore the Soviet Union and Imperial Russia, is brainwashing a generation of children to become cannon fodder.
Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant’ may not stick every landing, but it oozes enough charm, filth, and DIY spirit to earn its place in the Sundance midnight movie canon. Troma fans need apply.
One in a Million
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Itab Azzam and Jack MacInnes’ documentary ‘One in a Million’ charts a ten-year span as 11-year old Israa flees Syria, only to return a decade later. A powerful portrait of the refugee experience and the challenges of assimilation.
Primate
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: On the whole though, Primate is acceptable cinematic monkey business.
The Rip
Marcio Sallem @ Cinema com Critica [Portuguese]
Seized
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Sharon Liese’s ‘Seized’ captures the breakdown of free press in a rural Kansas town, when a personally-motivated police chief decides to interrupt their operations. A poignant examination of how the First Amendment can be trampled – and how to fight back.
Shame and Money
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Albanian-language family drama ‘Shame and Money’ is a thought-provoking slow-burn about the injustice of trying to earn a buck while providing for a family, with a simmering performance from lead Astrit Kabashi.
Silenced
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Selina Miles’ Silenced examines how defamation laws are weaponized against women who speak out about abuse, turning high-profile trials into warnings. It’s clear-eyed, well-presented, and refuses to stay quiet.
Tell Me Everything
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A father-son drama that aches with unspoken tenderness, ‘Tell Me Everything’ finds what it means to lose a father, and what it takes to face him again.

31 Candles
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Love is all sorts of things. 31 Candles, a nice and charming romantic comedy from an up-and-coming filmmaker shows us that love is also kosher.
The Choral
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: Without sentimentality
Come See Me in the Good Light
Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: To hear Gibson recite poetry in the film, and in links online, is witnessing genius and connection with the human condition at the soul level.
The Voice of Hind Rajab
Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: This is the most important film of the year.

Girl You Know It’s True
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Girl You Know It’s True does not reinvent the wheel on disgraced people’s biopics. It does, however, give us a very sympathetic view of the disgraced duo.
