QUEEN OF KNIVES
“Queen Of Knives is for anyone who has had to deal with messy family situations but loves their family anyway.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE IDEA OF YOU
“To her credit, Hathaway tries to make it work, but there is only so much an Oscar-winning actress can do to breathe life into a DOA mess like The Idea of You.” – John Black, Cinekong
JEANNE DU BARRY
“Although he may not look great, the 61-year-old Depp remains a master scene stealer, doing more with a single word or kingly gesture than some actors could do with pages of dialogue.” – John Black, Cinekong
“Jeanne du Barry should more than satisfy fans of period pieces featuring elaborate costumes, powdered wigs, and – at its heart – a woman making her own place in the world.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“If you can get through the carnage – and the last act is the embodiment of ‘Grand Guignol’ – it’s definitely different from the usual Hollywood reboots and remakes.”
“Coyote Cage is a low-budget thriller on the hot-button issue of illegal immigration. It probably won’t please anyone on either side of the issue, but it makes some interesting points along the way, despite some curious choices.”
“The story isn’t winning any awards, but it’s what the audience is going to pay for, which is dumb fun.”
“Fans of special effects laden futuristic battle scenes may find something to enjoy here, but otherwise Rebel Moon: Part Two is a crashing bore.”
“The complexity of Seydoux’s performance may not be apparent on first viewing, but that’s OK because The Beast is worth watching multiple times.”
“Alex Garland asserts that a dying soldier on the battlefield doesn’t cling to the politics of his situation, but instead to a hope for survival. Civil War reminds you that no matter the politics of its existence, in war people die, and to forget the horror of death is to forget the reason for living.”
“Remembering Gene Wilder is a fitting tribute to the a comic icon, taking us through the various phases of his life and career. It is a love letter that the late actor’s fans (he died in 2016) won’t want to miss.”
“With a better script, Earlybird might have been a standout indie film. Instead, while it has some moments where the cast gets to shine, it falls short of its modest ambitions.”
“War, other than its obvious physical and kinetic tapestry, can provide a remarkable opportunity for exploring the fragility of human relationships. Farewell, Mr. Hauffmann does this masterfully.”
“Their music has been a lifeline for generations of queer people.”–
“Housekeeping for Beginners is Goran Stolevski’s finest film to date, and further evidence of the maturation of an important voice in world cinema.”–
