Review: The Last Rodeo (2025)
Not to be confused with The Last Showgirl … I reviewed The Last Rodeo for Ebert.
Review: Sew Torn (2025)
It’s stylish and creative. Maybe a bit too much of a good thing but worth seeing. I reviewed Sew Torn for Ebert.
Review: Electra (2025)

I reviewed this English-language remake of the original 2021 Germany film for Ebert.
Review: Rounding (2025)
My review of Rounding is now up at Ebert.
Reviews: Suze (2025)
I reviewed this lovely Canadian film for Ebert.
