Monday, November 9, 2026 — Every movie currently in US theaters, reviewed.
Godzilla Minus Zero — 8.1/10
Takashi Yamazaki follows his acclaimed Minus One with a sequel that critics are calling a spectacular, heart-pounding monster epic. Godzilla’s return is thrilling, but it’s the human story that gives it real power. The effects are superb and the ending lands with force.
The Cat in the Hat — 6.5/10
Bill Hader voices the Cat in this bright, loud animated take on Dr. Seuss, built around a chaotic visit and a pair of twins. It’s fun and fast-moving, but the jokes are hit and miss, and the songs are forgettable.
Drummer Boy
Angel Studios’ Christmas film, taking its cue from the carol of the little drummer boy, has split critics down the middle. Some find it moving and sincere; others find it heavy-handed and slow.
You Can See Everything — 9.1/10
Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s metadocumentary, following Elizabeth Holmes and a production trying to make her life into a film, is the week’s highest-rated film. It’s audacious, funny and deeply unsettling, and one of the year’s most original releases.
Wild Horse Nine — 8.1/10
Martin McDonagh’s black-comedy spy thriller stars Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi. Critics call it sharp, funny and twisty, with Rockwell in top form.
Ramayana: Rise of A Legend — 8.6/10
Nitesh Tiwari’s animated epic, with Ranbir Kapoor and Yash in the leads, retells the Indian epic Ramayana on a grand scale. Critics praise its visuals, music and emotional pull.
Clayface — 7.5/10
In this DC corner, Tom Rhys Harries plays a disfigured actor who becomes the shape-shifting Clayface. Critics call it stylish and surprisingly moving, though the plot sags in the middle.
Wildwood — 8.6/10
Travis Knight’s Laika animation follows Prue McKeel and her friend Curtis into a hidden forest world. Critics call it beautiful, imaginative and emotionally rich, with a strong voice cast.
Wicker — 7.4/10
Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer’s fantasy-comedy-drama, led by Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Colin Farrell, follows a woman who takes in a young witch. Critics call it strange, funny and sweet, though the tone is uneven.
Jimmy
The week’s quietest new wide-ish release, Jimmy opened in 1,450 theatres with almost no advance buzz. Critics who saw it found it a small, earnest drama, but most audiences will miss it entirely.
Street Fighter — 6.2/10
Kitao Sakurai’s take on the video-game tournament, with Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo among the fighters, is big, loud and uneven. The action is strong, but the story is thin.
Other Mommy — 5.3/10
Rob Savage’s horror-thriller, led by Jessica Chastain, is the chart’s lowest-rated film. Critics find it derivative and slow, though Chastain is committed.
Heated Rivalry — 8.7/10
This is the hit HBO Max hockey-romance series, starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, getting a big-screen outing. Critics call it warm, funny and genuinely romantic, with real chemistry.
Resident Evil — 7.5/10
Zach Cregger’s reboot, with Austin Abrams and Paul Walter Hauser, returns to survival-horror roots and the Raccoon City outbreak. Critics call it tense, gory and fun, though the plot is familiar.
Heart of the Beast — 7.2/10
David Ayer’s film, led by Brad Pitt, follows a former soldier and his dog through the Alaskan wilderness. Critics call it a solid, old-fashioned survival story, with Pitt in strong form.
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York — 7.2/10
A small, character-driven New York crime drama in its third week, this is the chart’s quietest Sony release. Critics who saw it found it stylish and well-acted.
Club Kid
A24’s limited release is playing in just six theatres, yet took $175,398 on Friday — a $29,233 per-screen average. Critics call it a bold, stylish debut, though the story is thin.
Sense and Sensibility — 7.2/10
Georgia Oakley’s Focus Features adaptation of Jane Austen, with Daisy Edgar-Jones leading the Dashwood sisters, is a handsome, faithful take on the novel. Critics call it warm and well-acted, though it adds little new.
Everest: The Other Side
A documentary about the 1996 Everest disaster, told from the Sherpa perspective. Critics call it moving and revealing, though the footage is sometimes rough.
Whalefall — 6.6/10
Brian Duffield’s survival thriller, based on Daniel Kraus’ novel, follows a diver swallowed by a whale. Critics call it tense and inventive, though the science is shaky.
Sight & Sound Presents: JOSHUA Live!
A filmed version of the Sight & Sound stage show, telling the story of Joshua and the fall of Jericho. Critics call it a solid, family-friendly outing, though the staging is theatrical.
Primetime — 7.0/10
A thriller about a TV host who takes a call from a man threatening to kill a hostage live on air. Critics call it tense and twisty, though the ending is predictable.
Forgotten Island — 7.5/10
A family adventure about a group of kids who find a hidden island. Critics call it fun, fast-moving and charming, though the effects are uneven.
Paging Hezbollah
A documentary about the 2024 pager attacks in Lebanon, told through the eyes of the victims. Critics call it powerful and important, though the subject matter is harrowing.
