BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 12/16/2022
AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER
“The best film of the year!” – Duane Miller, Cinemania World Podcast
“As for those visuals, Cameron has been dazzling us for years and the innumerable artists and technicians have created an alien world that seems as real as the view out your window. Listing them all is undoubtedly what pushes the film to just over the three-hour mark. It’s been suggested that at this length the return of the movie intermission might not be a bad idea, especially for a movie called The Way of Water.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE APOLOGY
“The Apology is a talky two-character drama that purports to be a psychological thriller. It might hold the interest of viewers who find themselves as snowed in as the people are here, but just barely.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
AMERICAN MURDERER
“This is the story of a charming, lowlife grifter who crossed the line, not a serial killer. In the end, it’s less about that heinous crime than the living wreckage Brown left in his wake.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 12/9/2022
EMANCIPATION
“Emancipation may not be a perfect film, an explosive action movie buried in a wannabe prestige picture, but in it Will Smith avoids an Oscar slump and further cements his status as a top-tier actor.” – Derek Deskins, EDGE Media Network
THE WHALE
“Simply put, The Whale is yet another attempt by Darren Aronofsky to use provocation to achieve empathy, though here we’re treated to a story that has quiet disdain for its poor characters, their poor situations, and the poor, dying fat man at the center of it all.” – Sam Cohen, EDGE Media Network
CHRISTMAS BLOODY CHRISTMAS
“If you’re here for overdetermined commentary on seasonal goodwill, you’ve come to the wrong place. If you’ll accept a fire ax to the face in lieu of fellowship, though, Begos will provide.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
