DADDIO
“Co-producer Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn are somehow working at the same temperature, delivering their lines with congruent, naturalistic intensity, effortlessly leading us from text to subtext with a breath, a look, a phrase.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
“There is probably an audience for Daddio … some, like this reviewer, will just get bored by all the blah blah blah and stop watching.” – John Black, Cinekong
A FAMILY AFFAIR
“A Family Affair is like donuts: colorful, sugary, filling but not something you’ll be thinking about tomorrow.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
KINDS OF KINDNESS
“Kinds of Kindness struck me as a nihilistic work, and a clever one at that. Clever but not good.” – Randy Steinberg, Blast Magazine
“Thelma is one of the most enjoyable movies of the summer with much to say about how the elderly and young adults are infantilized in this coddling culture.” 
“In many ways this movie was a Hail Mary, taking a beloved IP and garnish it with member berries!” 
“Big Boys is well-meaning film that will no doubt find its audience given how it addresses a teenager coming to a realization about his sexual identity.” 
“The film falls short of making memorable the struggle for power as Henry declines. Instead, Firebrand smolders rather than burns.” 
“By confronting the history of the Holocaust through the eyes of a father who survived and his American-born daughter, Treasure offers a different perspective.” 
“One needn’t be a member of Red Sox Nation or even a baseball fan to enjoy Reverse The Curse. It’s enough to have worked at a relationship between a parent and an adult child.” 
“…the film’s thesis is about not human connection but humans’ connection to art, how we benefit from the presence of art in our lives, and what lonely, repressed existences we’d be damned to lead without it.” 
“Marcellus Cox makes a powerful debut with his first feature film, Mickey Hardaway.” 
“The Mattachine Family shows that we’ve come a long way from a time when a character being gay was the “issue” the film needed to address. Instead, in focusing on the particular lives of these characters, it succeeds in speaking about friendship and family in ways that ought to connect to everyone.” 
“Furiosa is an incredible follow up to Fury Road.” 
“Sight has a genuine hero in Dr. Ming Wang, and his story is well-served here.” 
“Pandemonium – the title itself suggesting random chaos – ultimately takes the form of a horrific nightmare, where logic may not apply and where there’s no way out.”
