BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 2/23/2024
LIE WITH ME
“A psychological and emotional thriller of sorts, Lie with Me puts its characters (and its audience) through a wringer and keeps us guessing from scene to scene.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network
HISTORY OF EVIL
“There’s nothing inherently wrong with mixing a polemic with horrific elements. Yet by turning this into a haunted house story, the film’s message becomes muddled if not going entirely off-track.”– Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE BAD SHEPHERD
“There’s a big twist to the story, which ruins everything. It’s not just that the twist comes out of nowhere; it adds nothing but the twist to a story that was doing fine without it.“ – John Black, Cinekong
BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 2/16/2024
GOD & COUNTRY
“The point of the film isn’t to disparage Christianity. Quite the contrary. Through news footage and interviews with prominent Christians, he demonstrates that those professing Christian nationalism are more interested in political power than in the teachings of Jesus.”– Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

HOW TO HAVE SEX
“Their holiday goals are simple: get wasted, get laid, repeat. Unfortunately for viewers, what’s exciting to their underage imagination is, for the most part, boring as hell to watch.” – John Black, Cinekong
SUNCOAST
“Suncoast is one from the heart for writer/director Chinn. It may prove a bit more ragged for those watching it from the outside.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
RESTORE POINT
“Restore Point is a crackerjack techno-thriller from the Czech Republic that can more than hold its own with any offerings from Hollywood.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
MOLLI AND MAX IN THE FUTURE
“The best way to describe this combination romantic comedy and science fiction film is to imagine that writer/director Michael Lukk Litwak put When Harry Met Sally and The Fifth Element into a blender and set it on puree.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
OUT OF DARKNESS
“So, with all of those positives, why am I not singing the praises of this movie? Basically, it comes down to poor story choices.” – Rodney Brown, Nerd Caliber
THE TASTE OF THINGS
“The Taste of Things is a ravishing feast of food and romance, appetite and longing, life and death, love and loss.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

ARGYLLE
“Argylle is a nothing burger, it’s derivative and I am honestly unable to find other adjectives to describe.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
FITTING IN
“Considering all that Lindy goes through in the movie, the temptation to overact seems to loom just outside the edge of the film. But Ziegler never gives in to it.” – John Black, Cinekong
SCRAMBLED
“Written, directed, and starring Leah McKendrick, Scrambled is challenging because Robinson is a shrill, one-note character stuck in her party animal past.” – John Black, Cinekong
