BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 9/12/2025

DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA – INFINITY CASTLE

“I will give credit where it’s due because it’s animation junk food and the fans will eat it up.” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

 

 

 

THE HISTORY OF SOUND

“Memories of music and of past love: How hard should we fight to hold on to them, and what’s their proper place as time moves us forward?” Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex

 

SOMNIUM

“There’s a number of interesting things going on in Somnium, a first feature by writer/director Racheal Cain. It makes the film watchable, but it’s a near-miss” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

TRIUMPH OF THE HEART

“Over the years of seeing many dramatic films and documentaries about the Holocaust, some stand out. It’s not because they answer the unanswerable question of how such evil could be allowed to occur, but because they bring out the humanity of its victims. Anthony D’Ambrosio has succeeded in doing just that in Triumph of the Heart.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

TWINLESS

Twinless isn’t exactly a rom-com; it’s a brom-com, if anything, and while the film’s general structure is familiar, its premise is shocking.” Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex

 

 

THE CUT

“In the end, The Cut turns out not to be a movie about the big championship match, but about getting to the point where you finally get to take control of your own life.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

A LITTLE PRAYER

“Strathairn is one of those people who we tend to take for granted, even though he’s a plus in nearly everything he’s in. In A Little Prayer he lets his eyes and his face convey much of his world-weariness, not broken but not whole either.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

CAUGHT STEALING

“Darren Aronofsky is not an action director and this shows me he should stay in his lane.” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
