By Hannah Tran
April 23, 2026
Two Women (Chloé Robichaud, 2025) 3 out of 5 stars A modern retelling of the 1970 French Canadian cult film Two Women in Gold, Chloé Robichaud’s Two Women refreshes this simple, sexy tale with a pleasant sense of playfulness. It begins with the first of these titular women, Violette, a new mother whose husband is constantly away on “business trips,” where he carries on an affair with his younger coworker. The second woman is Florence, who lives ... >>

By George W. Campbell

I Swear (Kirk Jones, 2025) 3½ out of 5 stars Before we begin, let’s get the obvious out of the way. Written and directed by Kirk Jones (My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2), I Swear tells the true story of John Davidson, a Scottish man who developed Tourette’s syndrome as a teenager. This is the same John Davidson who shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo while they were presenting at the 2026 BAFTAs. In the moment, the show focused on ... >>
“The Stranger” Proves Just As Elliptical As Its Source
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
April 9, 2026
The Stranger (François Ozon, 2025) 3½ out of 5 stars French author Albert Camus’ short 1942 novel The Stranger follows the story of an aimless young man who commits a murder for reasons unclear even to him and then pays the ultimate price for it, all the while shrugging his shoulders at the world. Set in colonial Algeria—where Camus (1913-1960) was himself born—the book deals seemingly tangentially with the cultural, racial, and class issues ... >>
“Miroirs No. 3” Offers Variations on Catharsis
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
April 2, 2026
Miroirs No. 3 (Christian Petzold, 2025) 3½ out of 5 stars German director Christian Petzold (Transit) specializes in films that combine elements of drama and thriller, though the latter feature does not always manifest through big external set pieces. Rather, the adrenaline rush comes from within as a slow build of emotional intensity that forces the viewer to confront uncomfortable truths. In Miroirs No. 3 (the title of which refers to a piano ... >>
