In a cinematic landscape often defined by spectacle and noise, Do No Harm dares to be quiet—and in doing so, delivers something profoundly resonant. The feature directorial debut from Chris Hartwell, Do No Harm is a moving, intimate character study about burnout, shame, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive. It's a film with its heart on its sleeve and a haunting truth at its core.
Read MoreThe Boy and the Gambler (2025)
Dimitrios Pantos’ The Boy and the Gambler is a deeply personal indie drama that tackles heavy themes—addiction, redemption, and the transformative power of empathy. At its core, the film tells the story of Michael, a man crippled by a gambling addiction who spirals into ruin before finding a sliver of hope through an unlikely friendship with a young pickpocket named Zigmata. It’s a classic redemption arc delivered with sincerity and ambition—but also with significant limitations that ultimately hold the film back from being fully effective.
Read MoreSpilled Paint: Season 1 (2025)
While a lot of times people brush off stuff that goes to Tubi, Spilled Paint isn’t one to miss. This six-episode crime drama dives headfirst into the dangerous, high-gloss world of art forgery, where the paint is barely dry before someone ends up dead. If you're a fan of crime thrillers with layered characters, high-stakes tension, and a killer hook—this one's for you.
Read MoreDangerous Animals (2025)
With Dangerous Animals, director Sean Byrne returns to the horror genre with a lean, vicious hybrid of survival thriller and psychological terror. It’s The River Wild meets Speak No Evil, only the river is the open ocean, and the evil is Jai Courtney at his most unhinged—and electrifying. Courtney plays Tucker, a rugged, shark-obsessed loner who kidnaps free-spirited surfer Zephyr and traps her aboard his fishing vessel for a twisted purpose.
Read MoreCelebrity (2025)
In a digital age saturated with clout-chasing and online validation, Celebrity finds something rare: sincerity. Directed by Conner Farias, this sharply edited and emotionally resonant short film turns the lens inward on internet fame, exploring how the pursuit of virality can distort real relationships, until something unexpected brings them back into focus. The story follows Cameron Anderson, a cocky YouTube prankster played with surprising depth by David Rios.
Read MoreFear Street: Prom Queen (2025)
Welcome back to Shadyside—where the blood never dries and the drama never ends. Fear Street: Prom Queen, the latest installment in the R.L. Stine-inspired series, hits Netflix on May 23, delivering a retro-styled slasher that plays like Carrie meets I Know What You Did Last Summer with a synth-drenched, neon glow-up. Directed by Matt Palmer and co-written with Donald McLeary, Prom Queen dives into the cutthroat world of high school royalty in 1988.
Read MoreA Murder in Oakland: Beauty Is Deadly (2025)
Marcus D. Spencer wears many hats in A Murder in Oakland: Beauty Is Deadly—actor, director, co-writer, and executive producer. While his ambition is evident throughout the film, the final product is a mixed bag: engaging in concept, but uneven in execution. The story picks up with the reopening of a cold case that once rocked Oakland—a young model named Mercedes was murdered, and new evidence brings detectives Williams and Adams together to revisit the unsolved crime.
Read MoreL'Histoire Des Larmes De La Princesse (2016)
Kristyan Mann’s L’Histoire Des Larmes De La Princesse is a beguiling and imaginative ten-minute short that taps directly into the fantastical tradition of silent-era fairy tales. Released in 2016 and shot in black-and-white, the film feels like it could’ve been pulled from the dusty archives of early European cinema, yet it maintains a sharp sense of authorship and modern vision beneath its vintage surface. Written, directed, produced, and edited by Mann himself, this short is a true passion project and an impressive showcase of how much emotion, story, and style can be packed into a brief runtime when a filmmaker understands the language of silent storytelling.
Read MoreBig Mouth: Season 8 (2025)
With its eighth and final season, Big Mouth brings a close to one of television’s most unapologetically outrageous and emotionally earnest animated series. Known for turning puberty into a grotesquely hilarious fever dream, the show doubles down on its signature blend of hormonal chaos, absurdist humor, and surprisingly tender moments. Unfortunately, in its swan song, the balance feels more off than on.
Read MoreLottie (2025)
There are performances that portray adolescence, and then there are performances that embody it—raw, volatile, and terrifyingly real. Megan Osyen’s turn in Lottie is the latter: an unflinching, aching portrayal of a teenage girl teetering on the edge of reality. Under the delicate yet daring direction of Bella Rieth, Osyen delivers a performance so immersive it doesn’t feel like acting—it feels like confession.
Read MoreFriendship (2024)
Andrew DeYoung’s Friendship, opening in theaters this Friday, May 16th via A24, is a riotous plunge into the deep end of suburban male loneliness, toxic admiration, and the desperate yearning for connection. Led by a career-best performance from Tim Robinson, this film is part cringe comedy, part psychological unraveling, and entirely unforgettable. Robinson plays Craig Waterman, a painfully awkward suburban dad whose life is quietly imploding.
Read MoreRosario (2025)
Felipe Vargas makes an assured and stylish directorial debut with Rosario, a moody, atmospheric horror film that fuses supernatural terror with a sharp exploration of generational trauma and cultural identity. It’s a claustrophobic, unnerving experience that balances the grotesque with the emotional—and while it might not quite live up to the “scariest movie ever” hype it’s getting on TikTok, it still delivers plenty of chills, thrills, and vivid visual storytelling. The plot centers on Rosario Fuentes, a high-powered Wall Street stockbroker who returns to her late grandmother’s apartment during a snowstorm.
