BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP 09/30/2022

Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in the movie Blonde.BLONDE

“BLONDE is a means to an end, a vessel to tell the tale of a life doomed, perhaps, from its beginning. Marilyn Monroe is the vehicle because she is instantly recognizable, as well as irresistible, but the concept of an identity crisis is something anyone can understand (and probably has undergone), so the larger dramatic purpose makes the film relatable to anyone.” – Randy Steinberg, Blast Magazine

BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 08/05/2022

Katharina Behrens and Adam Hoya smile and embrace in the movie BlissBLISS

“The drama here comes from the question of whether these two souls — one older than her years, the other weary before her time — will find a way to meet, and stick, in the middle.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

 

 

Zach Villa in the movie HypochondriacHYPOCHONDRIAC

“Heimann crafts a tidy little thriller that works all the better for including a realistic same-sex relationship, though one can’t help wishing he’d done more with the real-life horrors around the health disparities LGBTQ+ people encounter
from a too-often biased health care system.”
Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

 

Amber Midthunder hides from a Predator behind a tree in the movie PreyPREY

“At the film’s heart is the same bag of tricks we’ve seen in previous installments of the franchise. But the movie also confounds typical tropes, and (mostly) insists on earning its departures.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network
