THE ROAD DANCE

“The Road Dance is a stirring romance/melodrama, based on a true story, and packs an emotional punch. Based on the 2002 novel by John MacKay, the film falls neatly into familiar narrative territory, but feels alive and fully-inhabited in the hands of writer/director Richie Adams.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
THE TEACHERS’ LOUNGE
“The Teachers’ Lounge pops like a kernel on a hot stove, and the explosion will make you question your every move in these fraught times.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
“It manages to be both a scary serial-killer-on-the-loose movie and a high school comedy. It’s a difficult balancing act that they pull off with seeming ease.” –
“Eismayer joins other compelling gay military dramas we’ve seen lately, and ranks among the best of the genre.” –
“Nothing in Miranda’s Victim suggests that informing criminal defendants of their rights is a bad thing. What it does do is almost as revolutionary: it tells the story of Trish Weir, the then-18-year-old whom he attacked.” –
“Foe turns out to have very little to do with the scant science fiction trappings of the story. Instead, it’s about how difficult it is for two married people to stay together.”–
“Del Toro, who worked on the script crafted by director Grant Singer and Benjamin Brewer, has a meaty role that – like much of the cast – plays him against type.” –
“The way Bernal bares his soul for the camera in that scene captures the viewers’ hearts and makes Cassandro real.”
“For a movie built on the tension between silly diversion and existential dread, “Rotting in the Sun” feels like an intellectually teasing thriller, somewhat in the vein of Hitchcock (who also knew the value of a good running gag or two).” –
