WICKED: FOR GOOD
“Wicked: For Good joins its predecessor in jointly creating one of the best movie musicals in years.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“Did this film defy gravity? Not so much, but it stuck the landing and that’s fine.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
“Part II is darker, more emotionally complex, features some real romance between Elphaba and Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), and explores the emotional underpinnings of Elphaba’s turn to the dark side as the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST, while Glinda remains a now ‘self-aware’ girl in the bubble expressed in a smart new song.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
THE DUMMY DETECTIVE
“The makers of The Dummy Detective are asking a lot. It’s a comedy that crosses a hardboiled film noir detective story with an Agatha Christie-like mystery. And ventriloquist dummies. You either have to accept it or not.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“Godard is a vision of artistic ambition and seemingly unfocused intensity, as insubstantial as cigarette smoke and yet exerting a mammoth gravity on everything around him.” 
“In Your Dreams is a charming animated offering from Netflix that should delight youngsters while opening the door to discussing dreams and nightmares.” 
“This Frankenstein cements del Toro’s reputation as one of the best contemporary filmmakers.” 
“To appreciate Don’t Trip requires making allowances for a low-budget movie with ragged edges.There are some moments where it might feel the movie is out of control, but if you can make it to the end, it’s worth the effort.” 
“The film lands some commentary on contemporary politics with all the finesse of a haymaker, but it’s not wrong to do so.” 
“The Panama setting is a selling point, but it’s the cast, fearless and committed, along with Hawkins’ direction that makes this indie shine.” 
“For people of my generation, Call Me By Your Name felt like a cinematic banner. For Gen Z, I Wish You All the Best might fill a similar niche.” 
“Predator Badlands is another fun and action-packed installment from Dan Trachtenberg!” 
“An intense performance by Colin Farrell drives Ballad Of A Small Player. Farrell lets us see both the false confidence Doyle attempts to exude and his increasing desperation as things go wrong.” 
“Anniversary is like last year’s film Civil War. It is a disturbing parable about the increasing polarization of our country and, like that earlier film, manages to do so without directly commenting on current events.”
