ScreenRant’s Reviews Team is back with a fresh slate of films to check out in theaters and on streaming. Our roundup features expert takes on both the weekend’s biggest blockbusters and hidden indie gems—helping you decide what’s worth your watch time.
We've got reviews of Zootopia's long-awaited return, a Kate Beckinsale revenge thriller, Netflix's latest Christmas charmer, plus a handful of re-posted reviews for newly released Hamnet, Eternity, and the latest Knives Out mystery, and more, along with excerpts from each review. Visit our movie reviews section daily for all the latest releases and sharp critic takes.
Zootopia 2
Bush's script delivers a mystery worthy of Zootopia, and it becomes plain to see that Disney could very easily make a franchise out of Nick and Judy's city beat. If Bush and his collaborators at Disney can craft even more intricate mysteries that are fun for all ages, audiences will no doubt keep coming back.
Read Molly Freeman's full review of Zootopia 2.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
The mystery still has its twists and turns, and they’re occasionally fun and clever, but something is missing, too. It’s like the film is trying to be reflective — about religion, the draw of power and money, and the people who abuse it — but it rings hollow.
Read Mae Abdulbaki's full review of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.
Hamnet
As Agnes, Buckley is sensational. Her raw grief is already a sight to behold, but it's the expressions that cross her face at the very end of the movie that bring true catharsis. Mescal is equally arresting as Shakespeare.
Read Rachel Labonte's full review of Hamnet.
Eternity
The cast has fantastic chemistry together and, though the story could’ve explored its point further, Eternity is a largely entertaining rom-com that works best when it leans on the strengths of its cast rather than its narrative.
Read Mae Abdulbaki's full review of Eternity.
Jingle Bell Heist
The pair are hilariously inept at carrying out the heist, but that is Jingle Bell Heist’s charm. There is a certain beauty in imperfection, and the holiday film leans heavily into the laughable antics of Nick and Sophia as they plot a heist with more holes than Swiss cheese.
Read Emedo Ashibeze's full review of Jingle Bell Heist.
The Thing With Feathers
For example, it’s difficult to determine if Crow is haunting this family or just a manifestation of Dad’s emotional pain. Either choice is fine, but Southern has no interest in giving us concrete answers. Consequently, it's difficult to connect to the story.
Read Patrice Witherspoon's full review of The Thing With Feathers.
Wildcat
Nunn isn't great at working his way through the film's more emotional beats, and the script certainly has its fair share of silly, rote and muddied material, but the main event here, the breakway action sequences, are choreographed so well, it hardly matters.
Read Gregory Nussen's full review of Wildcat.
The Tale of Silyan
The film is at its most lucid when Kotevska's images are allowed to speak for themselves, as when Nikola and his neighbor desperately use a metal detector around the land in the hopes of finding gold.
Read Gregory Nussen's full review of The Tale of Silyan.
Cutting Through Rocks
In so many ways, Shahverdi is an exceptional subject for a documentary. A charismatic, bullish and boisterous woman with an acerbic sense of humor, the 37-year-old is fearless and well-spoken.
