Middleburg Film Festival 2026: Misty Green Movie Review

Klara and the Sun Movie Review
Jenna Ortega is an engaging, offbeat presence in Taika Waititi’s adaptation of novelist Kazuo Ishiguro’s retro-futurist, dystopian love story, but the film around her struggles with thin plotting, misplaced humor, and simplistic themes as the director squanders a carefully…

Middleburg Film Festival 2026: Wicker Movie Review

Tenzing Movie Review

Verity Movie Review
The latest attempt to adapt one of Colleen Hoover’s melodramatic page-turners delivers a few jolts of energy, but its monotonously repetitive structure is ultimately a bore.
-
Heart of the Beast Movie Review
This well-crafted but unremarkable man-versus-nature survival tale is elevated by a strikingly good canine performance, Brad Pitt's capable if underwritten turn as a war-scarred veteran, and beautiful cinematography of the Alaskan wilderness, all of which yields a moving tribute…

The Uprising Movie Review
Paul Greengrass brings urgency and a formidable ensemble to this dramatic retelling of the 1381 Peasant's Revolt whose class-conscious anger still carries a modern sting, but its reluctant hero never convincingly grows into a leader and the film’s restless camera and patchy…
-
Practical Magic 2 Movie Review
