The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
Sara Clements @ Nerdspin
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Combining elements of ‘wrong man’ movies with those about one last big score, writer/director Noah Segan has gifted John Turturro with the role of a lifetime in a sure-to-become cult classic.
Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is deeply sad. Why don’t more movies try to do this?
Limited (United States)
Gentle Monster
Kenji Fujishima @ Slant Magazine
Queen at Sea
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews

Atonement
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: While an affecting film that does well to consider the messiness of the situation and platform fantastic performances, it’s difficult not to wonder if a feature film wasn’t the best route to present it as anything but a reductive “both sides” argument.
The Cycle
- Excerpt: [A] solidly entertaining little horror flick that features some of the best practical effects work of the year.
Fatherland
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Pawel Pawlikowski completes his European post WWII period trilogy with a fictionalized account of Mann’s 1949 trip that explores the fractured political landscape through fractured family dynamics.
Fjord
Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Fjord does not play out like a typical American film would if it were depicting a similar situation, and by holding back where western storytellers wouldn’t, it allows viewers to make up their own minds on who is right or wrong. Many things go unspoken in the film, and the debate on what should happen with Mihai, Lisbet, and their family continues even after the film ends.
Kung Fu Soccer
- Excerpt: Ultimately, Kung Fu Soccer offers the spiritual successor that fans of Shaolin Soccer have been waiting for, but not the one they deserve.
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: An experience full of embarrassing moments, with inconsistent humour, horrendous visual effects, an unpleasant use of alleged generative AI, and a practically non-existent plot.
Musk
Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: I never joined Twitter, and while I test-drove a Tesla a few years ago, I never bought one. I now feel great about those decisions.
One in a Million
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It’s a crisis of identity that cannot be solved overnight and there’s no better proof then following their evolution together and, more crucially, as individuals.
Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story
- Excerpt: This exceptionally thoughtful and often hilarious documentary about Bamford explores the way she uses humor to filter her experiences and performance to temper her anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts.
