I have not seen a single person on here mention ONE IN A MILLION. I didn't realize it came out this weekend myself. Anyway, it's among the best docs of 2026, and it deserves more attention.
It's an incredible weekend to see a movie. Here's the best films now playing in theaters:
Possible Love
You Can See Everything
NAZA
Fatherland
Once Upon a Time in Harlem
Wildwood
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother
Wicker
One in a Million
La Bola Negra

I don't write much these days 😢, and I'm not a particularly good writer to begin with, but I did write this little capsule out of Sundance for it: boxd.it/cQIEQD
Snuck in the new Qin Pengfei - it rocks - before heading to AFIFEST for a long day of cinema, like a true soldier for cinema (an insane person) does.
I remember some internet cretin yelling at me on here years ago for suggesting that Lee Chang-dong > Bong Joon Ho. The comparison is reducive, sure, but hun, it's not particularly close.
Whalefall- The film’s interwoven structure undermines its intensity and viscerality, undercutting its protagonist’s desperate struggle for survival with a rote daddy-issues emotional through line that never quite lands. There is a version of this that is an 85 min face melter
I'll be back in Baltimore next week for my mother's 75th birthday. I may have issues because, for the last few weeks, I've wondered whether she would be down to see THE DEVILS (she wouldn't be). In retrospect, we can just go ahead and annex the "may" from the above statement
Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother &
The Rivals of Amziah King would actually be a pretty inspired double bill
The thing I've realized working in this industry for 20+ years? The more you love cinema, the more they pretend you don't understand basic economics.
Sorry if this offends but Digger is Iñárritu's best film. Not saying much, sure, but this is a far more interesting self-reflexive meta-satire than people are giving it credit for. Frankly, I don't get the vitriol thrown at this film...even if one can't get on its wavelength..
Need the third installment of Thomas Arslan's Trojan trilogy announced sooner rather than later. The fourteen-year gap between IN THE SHADOWS and SCORCHED EARTH is not acceptable to replicate. Someone give this man some money, stat.
