BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 4/28/2023

SISU

“Were you dissatisfied by the John Wick movies because there wasn’t enough action? Did you feel Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds would have been improved by more Nazis being killed? Finnish filmmaker Jalmari Helander feels your pain and offers up Sisu.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE ARTIFICE GIRL

The Artifice Girl is the sort of small, intelligent science fiction film that proves the genre is capable of much more than the special effects extravaganzas churned out by Hollywood.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

POLITE SOCIETY

“Nida Manzoor’s first feature film, Polite Society, gives a glimpse at the messaging the incumbent Gen Z is being raised on: Your dreams are absurd, you’re a ninny for following them, and please clean up the mess you made when you kicked your sister through her bedroom door.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
