Sense and Sensibility (2026)
The newest adaptation is bold to follow up the classic, but largely succeeds. Daisy Edgar-Jones and George MacKay share an effortless chemistry in Georgia Oakley's grittier take on Jane Austen, even if the sisterly bond at its heart never quite crackles.

Wildwood
Laika's latest is its most ambitious and best yet. Travis Knight's stop-motion epic follows a Portland girl into an enchanted forest of talking animals and warring kingdoms, and pays off its enormous gamble with breathtaking craft.

Wicker
This new fable is winning in its look at healthy relationships. Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård lead a funny, tactile and surprisingly wise tale about love as sharing rather than possessing, with a scene-stealing Peter Dinklage.

Clayface
The DC horror film is original in its body horror. Mike Flanagan and James Watkins turn Batman's shapeshifting villain into a gruesome, practical-effects showcase with inventive scares, even if there isn't much depth beneath the skin.

The Social Reckoning
The Aaron Sorkin follow-up is uninspired and unnecessary. Jeremy Strong nails the Zuckerberg impression and Mikey Madison stands out, but Sorkin's flat direction and uncharacteristically lifeless script make this companion to The Social Network instantly forgettable.

Naza
The documentary filmmakers from “No Other Land” return with a harrowing follow-up. Anonymous Israeli soldiers, filmed on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, describe the systematic targeting of civilians in Gaza with a chilling matter-of-factness.

Digger
Alejandro G. Iñárritu's ambitious film is a tangled mess. Cruise delivers his best performance in two decades and Lubezki's practical craft is a joy, but the film refuses to commit to a single idea, tone or style.

Coyote vs. ACME
The "lost film" is a winning comedy with meta commentary to boot. Shelved by Warner Bros. as a tax write-off and rescued by an independent buyer, Coyote vs. Acme turns out to be sharp, funny and unexpectedly profound.

La Bola Negra
Los Javis' historical epic is a poetic modern classic. A sweeping, formally daring meditation on queer erasure, historical memory and the cost of repression, anchored by a revelatory Guitarricadelafuente.

Resident Evil (2026)
Zach Cregger's take is a compact and enjoyable survivalist horror. Austin Abrams carries a lean, atmospheric zombie thriller that finally cracks the video game adaptation curse, even if the humor occasionally breaks the spell.

The Beloved
Rodrigo Sorogoyen's heartwrenching latest delivers two masterful performances. Javier Bardem and Victoria Luengo are extraordinary in a father-daughter drama that refuses the comfort of reconciliation.

The End of Oak Street
David Robert Mitchell returns with a vapid creature feature. An original concept and a strong cast can't rescue The End of Oak Street from lazy writing and a finale that undercuts everything before it.
