Sinners is one of 2025’s best films. More to the point, it’s one of the best I’m going to see this decade. Coogler has crafted something special.

Black Bag is a dinner party game of seduction, revelation, and retribution better played without knowing all the rules beforehand.

Mickey 17 may not end up being the year’s best film, but it will undoubtedly become one of its most essential.

I walked away from The Count of Monte Cristo invigorated. Its intensity, its majesty, its larger-than-life virtuosity, all of that and more filled my heart with glee.

Ghostlight is a variation on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet the likes of which I’ve never seen.

But that instantaneous feeling of giddy euphoria? That hasn’t happened since The Road Warrior. Hasn’t happened, that is, until now. Until after watching Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

I Saw the TV Glow is one of the best films about identity I’ve ever seen.

Challengers is something truly special. I’m going to cherish this one for a very long time.

Love Lies Bleeding is the first truly great film of 2024.
