Balota (Ballot) (2024) Anchored by genuine, vigorous Marian Rivera as trusted provincial schoolteacher who's caught amid violent corruption during local election, drama is solidly styled yet remains unwieldy mix of political thriller and satire. Lead character's resilient arc overcomes clash of tones.
Rewind (2023) Patchily effective drama benefits from fluid chemistry between patient Marian Rivera 5and self-absorbed Dingdong Dantes, who seeks help from Pepe Herrera's startled Jesus to save his wife and find redemption. Comic strands and wistful romance compensate fractured story rhythms.
Snow White (2025) Enlivened by vibrantly arranged song score and soulful Rachel Zegler's energy as titular princess, mostly traditional adaptation has unpersuasive evil queen Gal Gadot threatening kingdom with enveloping darkness. Spirited humor with bandit Andrew Burnap amid confused dramatic beats.
My Oxford Year (2025) Assured Sofia Carson achieves dream scholarship to British education on path to planned New York career only to fall for literate, wealthy playboy Corey Mylchreest. Inevitably tragedy never rises above surface emotion with soft characters providing anonymous plot points.
A Minecraft Movie (2024) Barrage of frantic jokes support bright visual assault as responsible Danielle Brooks and inventive brother Sebastian Hansen discover fantastical world that celebrates creative spirit. Simple minded and confounding, plot to save kingdom and journey home features rampantly silly Jason Momoa and Jack Black.
The Last Showgirl (2024) Gritty design underpin bleak resilience of struggling dreamer Pamela Anderson, facing closure of long-running Las Vegas revue which she continues to imagine as artful celebration. Strong cast sell life's struggles, yet patchwork visuals strain with unfocused plotting.
Rocky (1976) Earthy visuals and convincing performances persuade even when melodrama consumes struggling boxer Sylvester Stallone's chance to fight world champion Carl Weathers and find love with shy Talia Shire. Blunt storytelling defines character detail on way to rousing finale.
