The Smashing Machine
- Cast: Dwayne Johnson (Mark Kerr), Emily Blunt (Dawn Staples), Ryan Bader, Bas Rutten, Oleksandr Usyk
- Director / Writer: Benny Safdie
- Synopsis: A biographical sports drama chronicling a pivotal period in the life of MMA pioneer Mark Kerr, focusing on his dominance in the ring, the personal tolls of substance abuse, marital strain, and the emotional collapse following a major defeat.
- Critic Excerpts:
• “The Smashing Machine isn’t always dramatically steady … but it stays compelling and periodically raw.”
• “Johnson gives a lovely performance, but The Smashing Machine leaves the story in the shadows.”
• “Safdie, who directs with the same caffeinated … style as Uncut Gems, gives us three perspectives on Kerr … You will forget you are watching Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson, so completely does he settle into Kerr’s skin.”
• From the “Critics Consensus” on RT: “Dwayne Johnson goes the distance with his transformative turn as Mark Kerr … a gritty biopic that sidesteps cliché even at the expense of narrative satisfaction while still landing the dramatic body blows that count.”

Anemone
- Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, Safia Oakley-Green
- Director / Writer: Ronan Day-Lewis
- Synopsis: A psychological drama (or art-film romance) that weaves existential, emotional, and surreal elements. The film is visually ambitious and performance-driven, though critics note it leaves many questions unresolved and can feel frustrating in its restraint.
- Critic Excerpts:
• “It invites awe at its performances and visual design, even as it frustratingly withholds complete answers to its many questions.”
• “This slothy psychological drama is frustratingly dull and underwhelming despite gorgeous cinematography and great performances.”
• “’Anemone’ is a miserable movie top to toe, but it’s directed with enough promising skill to suggest actual smarts and talent on the part of its director/writer.”
• From reviews of its Rotten debut: “Anemone currently has a 64 % Tomatometer, with 25 reviews thus far.”
