BOFCA REPERTORY PODCAST – FEBRUARY 2019
BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 02/01/2019
THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD
“Aesthetic and technical feats aside, THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD will leave you feeling short of breath. Not because it’s intentionally trying to mimic how a soldier would feel on the battlefield, but because it creates an immediacy to a time most of us did not live through with remarkable detail.” – Sam Cohen, Edge Boston
“The men who gave their lives during World War I forsook the privilege of growing older. In Jackson’s film, they’ll keep their youth, vigor, and bravery forever.” – Andy Crump, Polygon
“Nothing less than a miracle of bleeding-edge digital filmmaking techniques…” – Sean Burns, The ARTery
“…a movie that makes these figures in old footage more than historical curiosities, but real people which, of course, they were. ” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 01/25/2019
THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING
“THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING is charming, playful, and the exact kind of movie that both kids and adults can appreciate equally.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High-Def Digest
“Pedestrianism aside, THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING has plenty of moments that delight, thrill, and captivate. But its construction feels wholly artificial, and it’s hard not to imagine what this film would’ve been like as a hard-R-rated romp akin to ATTACK THE BLOCK…” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston
“…something that should please school-age viewers and should be tolerable for parents who may accompany them.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
KING OF THIEVES
“As an example of the British crime film, KING OF THIEVES may not break new ground but it does provide a showcase for its stellar cast.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
