Film-Forward

Thriller

Fjord | NYFF 2026

A family is caught in a quagmire of legal trouble after moving from Romania to a remote Norwegian village.

The Social Reckoning

A decent thriller that can’t help but feel lesser than its predecessor.

Winter of the Crow

The film’s greatest asset may be not only Manville’s brilliant performance, but also its engagement with the least flattering aspects of her character.

It Ends

The feature film debut of Alex Ullom makes for a confident first impression.

The Rivals of Amziah King

This represents a welcome return for Matthew McConaughey, reminding us how daring and liberated an actor he can be.

Exit 8

A compelling psychological horror story that doesn’t require preexisting gaming knowledge.

Late Shift

A deeply political and socially relevant film about the pressure on nurses and those we once called “frontline workers.”

Dreams

One could argue that Jessica Chastain has found in him an ideal artistic accomplice in Michel Franco.

The Secret Agent

A soulful Wagner Moura stars as a fugitive from the corrupt dictatorship of 1970s Brazil in writer/director Kleber Mendonça Filho’s latest film, a gripping political thriller.
