BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 3/8/2024

GLITTER & DOOM

“What’s not to love about a musical that draws all its songs (and a fair amount of its dialogue) from the Indigo Girls’ body of work, gives us Ming-Na Wen in an eyepatch, and sprinkles in a bunch of fun cameos?” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

CABRINI

“Now is precisely the right time for a movie about the patron saint of immigrants, who demanded that such people be treated with dignity and respect for their humanity.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

KUNG FU PANDA 4

“This was an earnest love letter to generations of fans.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

DUNE: PART TWO

“I trust the future of this universe is in good hands.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

“Dune Part Two is a masterclass in filmmaking.” – Duane Miller, Cinemania World Podcast

“If he can pull off this planned trilogy, the “Dune” films will join Metropolis (1927), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Blade Runner (1982) as among the most significant achievements in science fiction cinema and, indeed, in all film.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“…it’s absolutely an amazing film, an incredible adaptation of the novel, and one of the best science fiction movies ever made.” – Rodney Brown, Nerd Caliber

“I found Dune: Part Two to be thoroughly enjoyable. Those who know more about its previous works and its general history will probably love it even more than I did.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

TRUST

“In the end, this is how people get on with their lives even after events over which they have no control.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

LIE WITH ME

“A psychological and emotional thriller of sorts, Lie with Me puts its characters (and its audience) through a wringer and keeps us guessing from scene to scene.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

 

HISTORY OF EVIL

“There’s nothing inherently wrong with mixing a polemic with horrific elements. Yet by turning this into a haunted house story, the film’s message becomes muddled if not going entirely off-track.”– Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

THE BAD SHEPHERD

“There’s a big twist to the story, which ruins everything. It’s not just that the twist comes out of nowhere; it adds nothing but the twist to a story that was doing fine without it.“ – John Black, Cinekong
