BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 02/23/2018

lead_960ANNIHILATION

“Refined and steely, ANNIHILATION is another mediation on how humans were always meant to self-destruct – it’s our biology.” – Allyson Johnson, The Young Folks

“…the final result here is an unfocused mess, despite ephemeral instances of genuine horror and gore that admittedly left me shaken.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“ANNIHILATION isn’t good.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“This is a film that is both disturbing and provocative, leaving viewers to draw their own conclusions.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

gamenightGAME NIGHT

“GAME NIGHT is a movie that will more than likely satisfy your desire for a comedy aimed at adults.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“Bateman and McAdams prove to be an effective comedy pairing. He hasn’t always had the best of luck with roles, and McAdams rarely gets the chance to show her comedy chops. The two of them play off of each other perfectly.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

 

THE PARTYthe-party

“There’s a clear post-Brexit anxiety in THE PARTY as we watch London’s upper crust devouring itself.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery

“…a film about pettiness couched in maturity, and a brilliantly merciless take on the comedy of manners.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
