10 Films of 2026 That Split Our Scorers Down the Middle

Every year a handful of releases leave our panel genuinely divided, and 2026 delivered a bumper crop.

The result is an average score that tells only half the story. Some are messy swings that landed differently depending on the viewer; others simply hit a nerve.
