#Verity begins intriguingly with all the makings of a sloppy, yet entertaining thriller. However, it lacks thrills as its predictable story devolves into a series of questionable reveals that make its shallow characters even less likable. It’s as memorable as a bland beach read.

#Digger is the most interesting film I’ve seen all year. Through heavy-handed, yet purposeful satire and matched by a nuanced Tom Cruise performance, Alejandro G. Iñárritu commands his audience to face uncomfortable truths that will inevitably mean life or death on a global scale.

Anchored by sincere performances from two of the most likable young actors working today, #CharlieHarper’s emotional whirlwind romance is conventional yet heartfelt. The bittersweet narrative’s nonlinear structure keeps it fresh, even at times when it’s most hard to follow.

#Primetime explores what happens when ethics are put in jeopardy for entertainment and good intentions are corruptly exploited until they rot away. It’s another stellar showcase of Robert Pattinson’s talents, but most surprising is the career-best performance from Skyler Gisondo.

Atrocious visual effects aside, #HOPE is at times an exhilarating feat of action filmmaking thanks to breathless chase sequences, inventive cinematography, and production design that rivals some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters. I started losing hope when its plot kicked in.

#CoyoteVsAcme is an important case for why movies and the artists that make them matter. On top of that, it just so happens to be a fantastic film with a sharply written story that makes hilarious use of the beloved Looney Tunes characters, especially the titular Wile E. Coyote.

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

While it sometimes feels like it buckles under the weight of its narrative, #CampMiasma is another transfixing allegorical feat from Jane Schoenbrun. As they contend with the honorable burden of being heralded as the voice of a generation, they further prove they’re exactly that.

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

In a year full of incredible throwbacks, #TheEndOfOakStreet stands out from the rest. Capitalizing on the terror of what dinosaurs unleashed on a modern populace would really mean, it’s the best cinematic representation of the creatures since the original Jurassic Park.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

#Tony is my favorite type of coming-of-age film. Less interested in the icon Anthony Bourdain became, it’s about the journey of self discovery that a lost young man takes as he lets go of who he thinks he is and embraces who he’s meant to be. Dominic Sessa is once again brilliant

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Refreshingly street-level, #BrandNewDay preserves high emotional stakes by emphasizing the sacrifice that defines Peter Parker’s choice to be a hero. Filled with surprises, it’s a reminder of how these movies can still mean something when made with passion and care.

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

#TheOdyssey is Christopher Nolan at his most epic and cinema at its grandest. Nolan weaves this legend in a unique way that only he can, emphasizing the tragedy and heartache of the effect of war on the soul. The journey itself is wobbly, but the destination is extraordinary.

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

#EvilDeadBurn may not be the scariest entry in the franchise, but it is the most disturbing – sometimes upsettingly so. Although I became desensitized to the gruesome torture of its characters early on, director Sébastien Vaniček’s novel direction kept me thrillingly engaged.

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Extensive in its reverence for cinema history, #MinionsAndMonsters will bring a massive smile to the face of anyone who loves movies. As a sendup of old Hollywood and classic works of slapstick humor, the film plays to the strengths of its dim-witted yet lovable characters.

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Masterfully executed, #TheInvite is an instant classic featuring four of the best comedic performances in years. While both hilarious and raunchy, the magic comes from its subtlety and introspection as it unwinds the layers behind broken characters who’ve forgotten their passions

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Director Julian Schnabel literally wears his influences on his sleeve with the inclusion of Martin Scorsese in one of the most ridiculous casts ever assembled. The self-indulgent nature of #InTheHandOfDante sabotages what could’ve been a great film had its plot been leaner.

110

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

#Supergirl lacks energy and personality. I’m a fan of Craig Gillespie, but a decent action director he is not. Every interesting element within it feels borrowed from movies that have done them better. Milly Alcock has potential as Kara, but she’s not given much to work with here

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

#ToyStory5 retains the magic, once again providing a story packed with the emotion, excitement, and imagination that makes the series special. In tackling the idea of toys v. tech, rather than whether or not to embrace tech, it teaches kids to embrace what makes them who they are.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

#DisclosureDay is the ultimate Spielberg experience. A beautifully introspective thrill ride about our place in the universe and whether we have a right to know about it. I was as entertained as I was moved by the theme of humanity finding its empathy again.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

#ScaryMovie is exactly what I hoped it would be. A somewhat coherent commentary on how the horror genre’s changed in the 13 years since the last film baked within a cavalcade of stupidity and the occasional ingeniously constructed bit. Nothing special, but it’ll make you laugh.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

#Backrooms is as inventive and thrilling as I’d hoped. Kane Parsons masterfully brings his brainchild to life in pure cinematic form, utilizing talent both in front of and behind the camera. Danny Vermette’s mindblowing production design is the real star.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

What starts as a slice of life story evolves into a crime thriller that feels like a throwback in the best way in #Tuner. Although its plot is formulaic, witty dialogue backed by stellar sound mixing always keeps you engaged. Leo Woodall delivers a star-making performance.

200

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

#TheSheepDetectives is a return to form for family films that put children’s intelligence first. Featuring plenty of hilarity and more than enough moments of pure humanity, it will likely endure as one of the year’s most beautiful films, meant to be enjoyed by all.

Damian McCarthy’s #Hokum excels most when building atmospheric dread. The hotel in which the film takes place feels like a character and is the creepiest locale I’ve seen in a horror film in years. McCarthy marries exquisite production and sound design in a union of raw terror.

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

#TheDevilWearsPrada2 is a pitch-perfect legacy sequel, justifying its existence through a sincere commentary on the state of legacy media in the digital age. It’s delightful to revisit these characters and see how much they’ve grown, while maintaining what made them so iconic.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

#MotherMary takes its time to reveal itself as a hauntingly mesmerizing supernatural story. David Lowery balances that aspect with the personal drama, fully drawing you into a trance as two capable performers go toe to toe in an intimate dance to rekindle a shattered relationship

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

While it’s thrilling to see the greatest hits play out in energetic fashion on screen, it’s clear that #Michael is a half-truth — not just because it only tells half the story of the most iconic and complicated artist there ever was. It’s a tame, safe, and manufactured experience

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

In writer-director Lee Cronin’s latest nasty work, there’s not a shred of fun to be found unless you’re the type of person who gets off on watching other moviegoers squirm. While it succeeds in small doses, some campy fun, as seen in previous iterations, could have suited it well

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

As disturbing as any of the violence is in #FacesOfDeath, the most unsettling part about the film is its searing commentary on how we’ve become so desensitized to the violent depravity encountered on social media that we enable it as a culture. It’s as smart as it is thrilling.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

#TheDrama is a provocative examination of the hypocrisy of perception and whether a person’s worst moment should define their life and the way they’re treated or if forgiveness is deserved. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s complex performances further showcase their range as stars.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

#ProjectHailMary is a fantastic space adventure featuring a magnificent performance from Ryan Gosling who beams with charisma and heart. Although his co-star is an alien, the film’s greatest quality is its realistic approach to its high stakes, high-concept sci-fi crisis.

#Hoppers is a delightful new entry into the Pixar canon. It expertly hops between telling a poignant story that packs a lot more heart than I was expecting and simply making you laugh with some of Pixar’s best comedy to date. It will be one of the funniest movies you see all year

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Glen Powell’s dependable charm combined with breezy pacing and an involving plot makes #HowToMakeAKilling worth your time even if suffers from a lack of character development and a rushed narrative. Mileage may vary thanks to muddled themes and an odd Margaret Qualley performance

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

The lush cinematography and ravishing design among all the crafts in #WutheringHeights makes up for much of what the film lacks in subtlety and complexity. For as subversive as it is, Emerald Fennel’s interpretation of this classic story doesn’t have anything noteworthy to say.

120

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Bart Layton’s sleek approach to #Crime101 elevates it from a standard crime thriller. The film’s key value lies within its commitment to its layered characters. While I would’ve liked to have seen them explored even deeper, the excellent performances help fill in the blanks.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Packed with referential humor and meta gags, the real charm of #nirvannathebandtheshowthemovie stems from the comedic chemistry between Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol. Their energy is infectious and adds heart to all the zany shenanigans that’s been missing in comedies as of late.

120

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

#TheMoment is a scathing satire of the music and concert industry from the perspective of one of pop’s biggest stars. As hilarious as the film is, its strength is the surprising vulnerability displayed in Charli XCX’s performance as she confronts a peak moment in her career.

121

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

#GOAT is a textbook underdog tale. While its world can best be described as Zootopia-light, the “Roar Ball” aspect brims with original ideas that the film largely dodges in favor of an unappealing story and characters. Featuring more product placement than heart, this is a miss.

100

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

#Mercy is nowhere near as provocative as its premise wants you to think. It’s a perfectly serviceable action thriller that works better with your brain off than if you try to engage with it in a way that could be additive to the conversation of society’s growing reliance on AI.

110

Evan Miller 🔜 #TIFF26 @moviemiller.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

#SendHelpMovie is a total blast. Equally hilarious and chilling, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien’s excellent dynamic keeps the story moving even during slower-paced sections. Sam Raimi’s signature wacky flair makes this a movie experience you’ll be happy to be stranded with.
