  • The Rivals of Amziah King: We Bee-long Together

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Rivals of Amziah King (2025) Andrew Patterson Color me absolutely shocked that the best movie that I’m seeing during Coyote vs. Acme Week may not be Coyote vs. Acme! I had middling interest in The Rivals of Amziah King—I like Matthew McConaughey as much as the next guy—but then I kept seeing people rave about the story and the music on Instagram and I thought I should check it…


  • Mother Mary: An Exorcise in Patience

    Mother Mary (2026) David Lowery For the four years that I’ve had Letterboxd, Mother Mary has sat on my watchlist for three of them. From when the movie was announced, I was excited for Jack Antonoff to write songs for an Anne Hathaway-led music movie, and I had relatively high hopes for this one, too. I really enjoyed my first David Lowery movie, A Ghost Story, last month, so imagine my disappointment when…


  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: 8-Bits Forward, 8-Bits Back

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic I know it’s a bit silly for a 25-year-old father-of-none to be anticipating The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for as long as I have been, but what can I say? I’m a kid at heart, and that includes at the cinema. With the introduction of Rosalina, I would be at the theater opening weekend whether the product was…


  • The AI Doc: It’s the End of the World As We Know It

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) Daniel Roher, Charlie Tyrell As I’ve expanded my film history knowledge, I’ve learned that there was a bygone time when theatrical releases for documentaries were commonplace. What happened? I mean, I know what happened, but we should get back to that. The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist may be as good a place as any…


  • Dead Man’s Wire: An Explosion Too Good for January

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Dead Man’s Wire (2025) Gus Van Sant I’m not sure whether to consider Dead Man’s Wire a 2026 release due of its theatrical release date or a 2025 release because of its festival run, but if it ends up settling on my 2026 list, it’ll be the first good January movie in a while. I expected that, since it’s had time to cook in the festivals, but I…


  • Freaky Tales: Hard to Describe, But I Love Oakland Now

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Freaky Tales (2024) Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck Now that I’ve seen A Minecraft Movie, I’m gonna be really annoyed by all of the Minecraft-related lines at the theater whenever I go to see something else, starting with the 10 minute wait for my Peace Tea before Freaky Tales today. It was nice, though, to subsequently head into a way calmer theater for, yes, a better movie, too.…
