BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 10/11/2024

THE APPRENTICE

“The climax of the movie takes place at Mar-a-Lago lit like a haunted castle as the now enfeebled Cohn confronts the monster he created but never saw coming.” Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

“As a dramatization of Trump’s formative years, The Apprentice offers a fascinating glimpse of his evolution, foreshadowing the man who has dominated American politics for the last decade.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“Directed by Ali Abbasi (Holy Spider), it’s the supermarket tabloid version of the Trump story, focusing on his rise to the top of the New York real estate game in the 1970s and 1980s.”John Black, Cinekong

JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX

GOEBBELS AND THE FÜHRER

Goebbels and the Führer is a disturbing film and is meant to be.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE WILD ROBOT

“Well written, animated brilliantly and slightly imperfect, just like Roz and that’s beautiful.” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

 

 

MEGALOPOLIS

“So how cool is it that an 85-year-old Maverick, who has some of cinema’s most significant achievements on his resume (Godfathers 1 & 2, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation), finds the balls to risk it all on a dream movie that maybe only he fully understands?”John Black, Cinekong

DEAD TEENAGERS

“After watching all three “Fresh Hell” movies, particularly Dead Teenagers, it’s clear that writer/director Armstrong is at the start of what promises to be a very interesting career.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

THE CRITIC

In the end, The Critic holds one’s attention even if it doesn’t achieve great art. If you’re willing to play along, though, it is damn good entertainment. Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
