From Disclosure Day to Voicemails For Isabelle, Should You Add These To Your Watchlist?
From one of the year’s most anticipated sci-fi films to a heartfelt new rom-com, these two releases couldn’t be more different… but both are worth adding to your watchlist.
Disclosure Day
Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor lead Steven Spielberg’s latest film Disclosure Day, an epic sci-fi thriller that asks one of humanity’s biggest questions: How would the world react to undeniable proof of alien life?
The film follows a meteorologist and cybersecurity expert who find themselves in the middle of a movement determined to expose a government cover-up involving extraterrestrial secrets. It goes beyond spectacle to explore the different layers behind learning the truth about the unknowns of the universe. Exploring the intersection of government, aliens, and religion, Disclosure Day the kind of movie that sparks conversations and gives you plenty to think about long after the credits roll.
Disclosure Day is playing in theaters.
Voicemails For Isabelle
Writer, director, and actress Leah McKendrick gives us the best romantic comedy of 2026 with Voicemails For Isabelle. Soundtracked by Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” Jill (Zoey Deutch) copes with her sister Isabelle’s (Ciara Bravo) death by leaving funny voicemails on her old number about her life in San Francisco. When the number is unexpectedly assigned to real estate agent Wes (Nick Robinson), he starts listening to the messages… and falling for the woman behind them.
While the romance between Jill and Wes has undeniable chemistry, the film’s true love story is the one between Jill and her late sister. Zoey Deutch is a true powerhouse and owns every scene she’s in with charm, wit, and relatability. The connection between Jill and Isabelle is the emotional heartbeat of the film as we get to see all their inside jokes, dance parties, and the enduring strength of their sisterhood. In comparison, Wes feels slightly under developed. There were hints of his own personal struggles, but they don’t receive the same level of exploration.
Ultimately, Voicemails For Isabelle is an impressive feature from McKendrick. Not only does it solidify her as a creative to watch, but it’s clear that her direction allows every character in the film to shine. She has an unmatched talent for crafting heartfelt, funny, and deeply moving stories. The film is a beautiful reminder that the greatest love stories aren’t always romantic ones.
Voicemails For Isabelle is streaming on Netflix.
