This latest take on the 1980’s Saturday morning cartoon is a visually vibrant, deeply affectionate dive into fan service that shines brightest through bold production design and delightfully campy villain performances from Jared Leto and Alison Brie, but it’s ultimately held back by a wildly uneven tone, flat digital effects, and a disjointed script that leaves its heroic faction trapped between earnest fantasy and modern parody.

This documentary about the unique challenges facing Greenland’s amateur football teams will immerse you in the vibes of a small sports club, and the contrast makes for excellent watching in the run up to the World Cup.

This warm, low-key transatlantic dramedy starring Paul Rudd as a wedding singer whose deeply personal ballad is stolen by a stagnating pop superstar (Nick Jonas) brings surprising realism and strong ensemble performances to a sharp, witty script, delivering a genuinely comforting blend of effective comedy and unforced emotional stakes. It's a music-driven journey well worth taking.

Director Anthony Maras overcomes technical constraints and some first-time-at-this-scale inexperience to deliver an engaging, cerebral addition to the WWII cinematic canon based on the play by David Haig and heavily elevated by brilliant performances from Andrew Scott, Chris Messina, and Kerry Condon.

This adaptation of the popular Prime Video series offers a functional but ultimately underwhelming theatrical experience that pales in comparison to the franchise's classic films, sacrificing intelligent espionage and arriving frustratingly short on both firepower and originality.

This blood-soaked video-game sequel leans on Karl Urban’s entertaining Johnny Cage performance, Josh Lawson’s reliable Kano comedy, inventive fight choreography and a generally committed supporting cast, but its bloated plot and thin villainy keep it from becoming more than a solid, crowd-pleasing diversion.

This surreal family-friendly whodunnit is warm, humane, and approachable with its stellar ensemble cast bringing plenty of charm to the quirky tale of a flock of sheep who set out to solve a murder. Beneath its playful surface the film explores surprisingly weighty themes that give it a resonance far beyond the average kids' adventure.

This sequel to the now-classic 2006 workplace comedy brings back the original cast, who are all great here, but it’s a follow up that hammers home a message heard many times before.

This $200 million biopic spectacle functions as a thrilling resurrection for fans of the King of Pop but a sanitized, frequently airless tribute for critics. Jaafar Jackson and Colman Domingo deliver electrifying performances in a film that does capture the lightning of the performer, but leaves the complex, fractious reality of the man firmly in the shadows.

With its generic one-word title and even more generic-looking poster this 2025 TIFF entry comes across like something that's doomed to the bowels of Netflix, but it's an actioner with enough tension to fulfill a craving.
