BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 08/17/2018

CRAZY RICH ASIANScrazyrichasians.0

“…a romantic comedy that breathes new life into the genre…” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“CRAZY RICH ASIANS is a wonderful escapist romantic comedy that somehow manages successfully to be both romantic and comedic. Even typical curmudgeons like me can enjoy being whisked away from everyday life into this fantasy land of wealth and affection.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High-Def Digest

“Jon M. Chu’s CRAZY RICH ASIANS proves that Hollywood can still produce a glitzy romantic comedy no matter who’s starring in it or where it’s set.” – Brett Michel, The Improper Bostonian

 

 

MILE 22MILE 22

“MILE 22 is one of the least engaging action movies I’ve ever seen in my entire life.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“…a serviceable late summer action film, likely to be forgotten by Labor Day.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

 

never-goin-backNEVER GOIN’ BACK

“NEVER GOIN’ BACK is a gross-out comedy that pulls no punches, foul expulsions captured by the eye of a filmmaker who sees art in churning stomachs.” – Andy Crump, Polygon

 

 

 

10SKATE KITCHEN

“…it’s hard to escape the fact that Skate Kitchen drags for a good amount of its running time and fails to present any meaningful performances from its cast.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High-Def Digest

 

 

alpha1-600x400ALPHA

“…the relationship between the movie and its audience is marvelous and symbiotic. The film immerses viewers into this uncomplicated existence, to witness the pleasures of watching a boy and his dog.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High-Def Digest

 

 

 

scottyandthesecrethistory_01aSCOTTY AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD

“The stories are decadent, and Scotty himself is complex, but SCOTTY AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD would have been a much better documentary if it were willing to ask some tough questions.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High-Def Digest
