BOSTON STRANGLER

“Ruskin’s film argues that people will inevitably want to move on from unfinished business even when that business is a matter of actual life and death.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

“Keira Knightley is terrific as the fledgling crime reporter who learns the ropes and grows a tough hide even as her heart remains raw, while Carrie Coon does award-worthy work that almost walks away with the film.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

“While the narrative still revolves around the series of murders and bringing the perpetrator to justice, the focus is not on the killer or the police, but on the two reporters for the old Boston Record-American who found that reporting the mystery was only one of the many problems that they faced.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

CRAM

“You’ve no doubt had the dream: You show up for the final exam of a class that you’ve been cutting all year. It’s a common anxiety dream, but if this is scary enough while you were sleeping; imagine how it would feel if you were awake.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a mostly derivative movie that lifts from many better movies to make something that is dumb and overall mid-tier.” – Rodney Brown, Nerd Caliber
