“90 whole minutes of unfunny things.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

RAMPAGE
“Everybody’s having fun, and the movie beats you over the head with its fuck-it-all approach that eventually you can’t help but give in and enjoy the ride. And what a fun ride it is.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston
“Whatever your age, if you have fun with movies where giant monsters are wreaking havoc, you’ll have a blast.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“As it turns out, it’s hard to hate RAMPAGE.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“As giant monster movies go, it’s pretty damn terrific.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE
“Akin to the trauma its protagonists experience, the film assaults you from all angles then strands you to soak in the aftermath, all while reminding you there’s still beauty to be found in life’s brutality.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston
“…in Ramsay’s hands, it’s impossible to avert your eyes and ears from the PTSD-driven horrors.” – Brett Michel, The Improper Bostonian
“YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE is an icky, rotgut noir filtered through a prism of abstract art.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery
“Calling it a revenge movie doesn’t do it justice. It’s more like a sustained scream. ” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
TRUTH OR DARE
“Although I wouldn’t suggest paying for this, movies like TRUTH OR DARE are good to have around.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“…none of this has payoff anywhere near worth what it takes to set up.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com
“Fun and trashy on nearly every level, this nifty joyride races into B-movie glory with each accelerated absurdity.” – Greg Vellante, Spectrum Culture
LEAN ON PETE
“It’s a coming of age story without the sweet middle or the empty placating.” – Allyson Johnson, The Young Folks
A QUIET PLACE
“Recent attempts at what might be called “smart horror,” like GET OUT and COLOSSAL, didn’t offer up documentary reality but they did have an internal logic for the world the films created. A QUIET PLACE fails this basic test.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“In spite of some significant issues, A QUIET PLACE will likely please most of the people who see it.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“Tension defines this clever and well-crafted creature feature, and director John Krasinski has found a comfortable niche where his efforts as a director truly shine…” – Greg Vellante, Spectrum Culture
CHAPPAQUIDDICK
“CHAPPAQUIDDICK is no hatchet job. Instead, it offers a serious meditation on the uses and abuses of power, a story that is timely in any era.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“What we might hope for from a film bold enough to call itself CHAPPAQUIDDICK is a payoff equal to the promise of that charged name. We get a tingle here and there, but no real jolt from this effort.” – Kilian Melloy, Edge Boston
