‘Clayface’ Review: R-Rated Comicbook Flick Gets Under Your (Moldable) Skin
It’s like the old saying goes: if you can’t beat ’em, take a dangerous unregulated drug that allows you to physically resemble them. “Clayface” follows a rising young actor (Tom Rhys Harries) who is disfigured by a mob boss and undergoes an experimental surgery to fix it, only to have mutative side effects. The third film…
‘Wicker’ Review: A Simple Little Adult Fairytale
Films like this, “Lisa Frankenstein,” and “The Shape of Water” are slowly forming their own fairytale romance cinematic universe… “Wicker” follows a lonely fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who asks the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage) to make her a husband (Alexander Skarsgård).

Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons also…

Despite a solid cast, Colleen Hoover’s latest adapter novel fails to deliver gripping thrills or campy elements, resulting in a mediocre viewing experience.
NYFF 2026 | ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ Review: Sequel Keeps the Heart, Ups the Effects
Kind of crazy to think that it took over 60 years and nearly 40 films before we got an R-rated Godzilla movie… “Godzilla Minus Zero” is the sequel to 2023’s “Minus One,” and follows the citizens of Japan as they work to rebuild from Godzilla’s attacks, only for a new threat to emerge. Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami…
