Wasteman: Who We’ve Left Behind

Shot over the course of only 18 days, Wasteman (2026) is an adrenaline rush that never subsides. It is a pressure cooker of a film. There is a consistent, thrumming tension in even the stillest moments thanks to a searing script by Hunter Andrews and Eoin Doran.

Wuthering Heights: Rewritten

Some had high hopes; Saltburn was generally well-received and a similar thriller would fit the gothic horror of Wuthering Heights, while others dreaded her campy style and worried she would miss the target in the interest of modernizing the story to fit her whims. Now that theaters are packed with curious viewers, the verdict is out: It’s bad.

No Other Choice: A Veteran’s Playground

No Other Choice is a plot that requires eccentricity, suspense, and a hint of melodrama that the actors organically delivered. They were shameless in bringing out the quirks of the story through their respective characters, resulting in this spectacle of a crazy film.

Die My Love: Unfiltered Humanity

What does it take to finally make someone snap? To finally make yourself feel alive? Die My Love (2025), starring Jennifer Lawrence as Grace and Robert Pattinson as Jackson, is a strange slice of life film skewed sideways into an uncomfortably funny thriller.

Wicked: For Good: Ready for a Last Dance in Oz?

On paper, it has everything audiences have been waiting for: the continuation of the characters’ story that we grew attached to in the first opus, new songs to enchant the end of the year’s celebrations, and the introduction of the iconic Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (1939). But does it stick the landing? Debatable.

Plainclothes: Identity Laid Bare

What is most striking about Plainclothes is its use of camcorders, grainy footage, home videos, and nonlinear narrative. Coupled with close ups of eyes and sound mixing of heavy breathing, the audience is caught up in Lucas’ disjointed mental space.
