They Will Kill You (2026) 66% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “The premise promises a heady mix of revenge drama and supernatural horror, but the execution veers into excess.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 4/ 5 EDIT “Project Hail Mary is not flawless, but it is invigorating. It reminds us that science fiction need not be weighed down by nihilism to be meaningful” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “The film may not quite match the profound emotional depth of Pixar’s finest classics, yet its originality and spirited storytelling make it one of the studio’s most refreshingly unconventional offerings in recent years.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 58% 3/ 5 EDIT “The film thrives on contradiction. It is gothic yet flamboyant, philosophical yet gleefully irreverent. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Boong (2024) 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Overall, Boong reminds us that children often wander through political landscapes adults have complicated beyond repair. Their journeys may be naive, but sometimes they see truths the grown-ups have forgotten.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Hamnet is a film of feeling rather than fact, intuition rather than interpretation. It does not argue its case so much as breathe it. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “This film is caught between self-awareness and self-indulgence. It understands its past intimately but struggles to ask why revisiting it still matters. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “This is not a perfect film, nor does it pretend to be. Its episodic detours blunt momentum, and its ideas sometimes feel more sketched than sharpened. Yet this film compensates with wit, urgency, and an unsettling relevance. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 89% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Overall, Bart Layton’s film finds its power not in closure but in corrosion, watching competence, desire, and certainty quietly fray. The heist fades; the damage doesn’t.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/ 5 EDIT “This film is bold, confident, and wilfully divisive. Thrilling in parts and excessive in others, it favours emotional heat over moral depth. As a film, it dazzles; as an adaptation, it strays freely...” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 13, 2026 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) 17% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “This film is neither a disaster nor a triumph. It delivers moments of tension and a committed central performance, but stumbles on pacing, predictability, and a curious reluctance to bring its story to a decisive close.” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Cheekatilo (2026) 2.5/ 5 EDIT “Cheekatilo aspires to be a socially conscious thriller but ends up feeling like a déjà vu buffet of familiar tropes. It has a commendable premise and robust technical backing, yet the writing falters and the execution stumbles.” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/ 5 EDIT “Primate is not here to teach moral lessons or rehabilitate humanity’s relationship with nature. It is here to entertain, to shock, and occasionally to delight with its audacity” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “This is a film of undeniable craft, elevated by strong performances and haunting music, yet held at arm’s length by its own politeness. It listens intently to the past but rarely raises its voice in the present” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Send Help is uneven, indulgent, and occasionally frustrating. It is also bracingly watchable and oddly honest about the uglier instincts that surface when power shifts. Raimi may not achieve perfect balance, but he delivers...” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “Shelter is a neatly assembled action-thriller that knows exactly what it is and stops there. Fans of Jason Statham will find familiar pleasures, while others may find the experience curiously forgettable once the credits roll...” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4/ 5 EDIT “This film is messy, bold and irresistibly alive. Safdie turns chaotic ambition into kinetic cinema, powered by Chalamet’s magnetic performance. Its flaws fade against its daring energy, delivering a frantic yet affecting experience” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “The Bone Temple is uneven, occasionally indulgent, yet frequently remarkable. With Fiennes’ mesmerising performance anchoring the chaos, this chapter secures its place as one of the franchise’s boldest gambles, and, surprisingly, one of its most affecting” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 48% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “This film rarely justifies its journey. It offers intermittent thrills, a dependable central performance, and enough sincerity to avoid dismissal. Yet it never escapes the pull of formula. For audiences who enjoy the grim...” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “This film is not designed for comfortable viewing. It is uneven, risky, and sometimes overwrought. It is also courageous, deeply felt, and astonishingly personal...” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 3/ 5 EDIT “This film is neither a polished biopic nor a glossy music drama. It is a tender salute to the quiet brilliance of small lives lived sincerely. The film falters when it indulges in melodrama, yet its heart is firmly in the right place.” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% 3/ 5 EDIT “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is pleasant rather than piercing. There are jokes, visual gags and stretches of inspired silliness, but they rarely spiral into the surreal anarchy that once defined Bikini Bottom.” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “The Housemaid may not be subtle, but it is rarely dull. Its pleasures are messy, stylised, and unapologetically loud. While it stumbles when it strains for plausibility or hesitates between camp and seriousness, it ultimately leans into...” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “Anaconda is a film caught between affection and calculation. It wants to celebrate the joy of unpretentious entertainment, yet cannot quite deliver the reckless fun that would justify its own argument...” – Free Press Journal (India) Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Christmas Karma (2025) 24% 3/ 5 EDIT “This film is a heartfelt, imperfect, culturally rich festive drama that is far from flawless, yet it is fearless in its intent. It overreaches, dazzles, falters, and gets back up again, much like the immigrant story at its core” – Free Press Journal (India) Dec 22, 2025 Full Review
