O
NLY THE BRAVE
“There will likely be people who will genuinely like everything about ONLY THE BRAVE, but there will also be people who walk away feeling a little angry or even manipulated with what they get.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
THE FLORIDA PROJECT
“This is empathetic cinema at its very finest.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston
“I laughed and I laughed until all of a sudden I couldn’t stop crying.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery
HAPPY DEATH DAY
“…somehow, HAPPY DEATH DAY settles into its own superficiality and asks you to do the same. Give it a try!” – Deirdre Crimmins, Film Thrills
“I know comedy is difficult, but improving on that gives HAPPY DEATH DAY the kind of quality that makes it easy to recommend to just about anybody.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“…the film breaks a lot of rules, but I think that’s what makes it so endearingly different and aggressively entertaining, despite its countless flaws.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston
MARSHALL
“While it won’t likely be nominated for too many awards or anything, MARSHALL is a well put together film that I’m happy to have taken the time to see.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“The film is a courtroom drama with tinges of a police procedural; the meat of the story lies with the question of what really happened on the night in question.” – Kilian Melloy, Edge Boston
“…an absorbing drama based in fact, about a true American hero.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE FOREIGNER
“Most of the time, it feels like two movies happening concurrently that never seem to mesh, and this is where the film collapses in on itself.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston
“I left THE FOREIGNER feeling satisfied with what was giving to me.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN
“Of all the superhero origin tales – real or fictional – this one may be the most extraordinary.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

BLADE RUNNER 2049
“BLADE RUNNER 2049 is less than the sum of its parts, although some will overlook or defend its flaws and embrace it.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“While some will likely consider it to be a “masterpiece,” it certainly doesn’t reach that level.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“BLADE RUNNER 2049 is just too clean for its own good.” – Sam Cohen, Substream Magazine
“Clocking in at a posterior-numbing 163 minutes, BLADE RUNNER 2049 tells maybe two-thirds of a story that could fit inside a movie half its length.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery
LUCKY
“LUCKY is a lovely film, but now it’s taken on an even deeper emotional resonance; it’s become a eulogy to one of the greatest character actors of our time.” – Charlie Nash, Edge Boston
THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US
“If the film had gone on much longer they might have had to meet a survivalist sect or a group of zombies.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
