THANK YOU VERY MUCH
“Do people even remember Andy Kaufman today? It’s hard to believe that this comedian/performance artist/actor has been gone for more than forty years, dying of lung cancer in 1984 at the age of 35. Thank You Very Much is a wonderful introduction to this unique talent. For those us who were around then, it provides interviews and insights into who he was and what made him tick.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE PENGUIN LESSONS
“Steve Coogan deserves better. So does the penguin.“ – John Black, Cinekong
DEATH OF A UNICORN
“While wearing its homages to the alien franchise on its sleeve, I don’t see this fact as a bad thing.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
“The original film is not remembered fondly for its narrative, so there must have been an incessant amount of mental gymnastics to adapt this.”
“Ultimately, it’s the cast’s understated collective anxiety that sells the film’s stakes, and Soderbergh’s trademark casual cool that sets up its political allegory while obscuring it at the same time.”
“October 8 makes no attempt to solve the issues between Israel and Palestinians. It isn’t a “Jewish film” in the sense that it’s not narrowcasting to a particular audience. It’s a message to all of America: the world’s oldest hate has staged a comeback – what are we going to do about it?”
“Watching two veteran actors bringing their characters to life is one of many possible pleasures at the movies. Watching them struggle in vain against a script that’s just spinning its wheels is not. The Rule Of Jenny Pen – a purported psychological thriller – is the latter.”
“My Dead Friend Zoe sounds like the title of a horror film, while in fact, it’s a comedy/drama that proves to be an emotionally powerful story about what life is like for veterans. You don’t have to have served to appreciate it, but if you did, it should resonate all the more strongly.”
