Young CriticSupergirl
Kara Zor-El arrives. The film around her does not. Milly Alcock is magnetic as Supergirl, but a passionless script and studio interference squander DC's most promising new asset.
Young CriticToy Story 5
A worthy toy, buried under too many boxes. Jessie finally gets her due as the emotional core of Toy Story 5, even if Pixar can't quite let go of Woody and Buzz long enough to let her story breathe.
Young CriticDisclosure Day

Young CriticScary Movie (2026)
The Wayans return, but the jokes don't. Scary Movie (2026) starts promisingly then loses focus entirely in a second act of disconnected parody skits that can't replicate the sharp wit of the original.
Young CriticBackrooms
