SINCERELY SAUL
“Clearly Sincerely Saul is not for every taste. Those of a certain age with an especially twisted sense of humor may be able to relate. Everyone else will wonder what the hell is going on.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE LOST BUS
“This thriller manages not to feel claustrophobic, and if the occasional exploding heating oil tank has a tacked-on feel, such moments still provide propulsion to an already-breakneck visual spectacle.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN
“The story has a bittersweet conclusion, but it also shows glimmers of hope, however faint it is.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
“If it’s a moral injury for a gay man to be compelled by a ghost to have sex with a woman, then why isn’t it an equally egregious abuse for a church, or society as a whole, to do the same thing?”
“
“PTA’s guerilla style of cinematography really suits this story, there was no excessive use of Shakey cam shooting and the like.”
“I never knew the Rock had this much nuance in his repertoire”
“Tipping is not suited for genre bending of this magnitude.”
“I will give credit where it’s due because it’s animation junk food and the fans will eat it up.”
“Memories of music and of past love: How hard should we fight to hold on to them, and what’s their proper place as time moves us forward?”
“There’s a number of interesting things going on in Somnium, a first feature by writer/director Racheal Cain. It makes the film watchable, but it’s a near-miss”
“Over the years of seeing many dramatic films and documentaries about the Holocaust, some stand out. It’s not because they answer the unanswerable question of how such evil could be allowed to occur, but because they bring out the humanity of its victims. Anthony D’Ambrosio has succeeded in doing just that in Triumph of the Heart.”
“Motherland is a flawed but provocative film that proves to be more interesting as a thought experiment than as a dramatic whole.
“Twinless isn’t exactly a rom-com; it’s a brom-com, if anything, and while the film’s general structure is familiar, its premise is shocking.”
“In the end, The Cut turns out not to be a movie about the big championship match, but about getting to the point where you finally get to take control of your own life.”
