THE NICE GUYS
“This is a damn sad movie dressed in glitzy neon and striped slacks.” – Sam Cohen, Under the Gun Review
“…I spent the majority of the runtime laughing so consistently and violently that I feared I’d eventually rupture an internal organ.” – Greg Vellante, Cinematic Essential
“THE NICE GUYS finish last, but they make a damn good show of it.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality
“You’ve seen this film before, but THE NICE GUYS’ problem isn’t mimicry or originality. It’s anemia.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
“THE NICE GUYS turns into a film that is not only set in the ’70s, but carries the sensibility as if it was made then as well.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
ANGRY BIRDS
“…a profoundly disposable and harmless entertainment, so light and inconsequential that it barely exists.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

MONEY MONSTER
“MONEY MONSTER is an exceptional feature film that happens to be well written.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“…it’s the sort of movie that Hollywood had seemed to have forgotten how to make.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
HIGH-RISE
“Calling the film Wheatley’s cheekiest effort to date might not be saying much, but there you have it.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
“Practicality has no place in High-Rise – the film is here to make a point about the extremes of status, and play with the expectations of civility and money.” – Norm Schrager, Meet In The Lobby
BELLADONNA OF SADNESS
“…a rare jewel: a singular aesthetic vision born of elements you’ve long been familiar with.” – Jake Mulligan, Dig Boston
“…it’s impossible to divorce the film’s aesthetic from its text, to engage its eroticism without engaging its sexual abuses, and to ignore its studied portrayal of witchery.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
“…not exactly erotica, but an investigation into the relationship between structural power versus personal empowerment.” – Kristofer Jenson, Boston Reel
KILL ZONE 2
“Grandeur is a hallmark of great Hong Kong action cinema, and KILL ZONE 2 paints in broad brushstrokes of sentiment and sensation through use of sight and sound alike.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
“For even the biggest action fans, I’m unable to recommend KILL ZONE 2. Drastically reducing the amount of story or making a more substantial effort to greatly improve it would likely have me saying the opposite.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
