BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 11/24/2017

ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ.roman-j-israel-esq-dom-ici_r3_0822_170828_09mj_active_g_p3.00264234_r_rgb-h_2017

“ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ. is a film that will be disdained by mainstream audiences, hailed by champions of law reform, and panned by the critic. Which category will you fit into?” – Michael Cox, Edge Boston

“In setting up a dilemma for its central character and then dropping it for something else, we end up lacking any investment in Israel’s fate…” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ. is nothing more than a missed opportunity.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“Think of ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ. as a bridge joining NIGHTCRAWLER and TRAINING DAY, without much of the edge of either.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

“Writer-director Dan Gilroy’s perplexingly inert sophomore effort ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ. is a peculiar and unsatisfying movie experience.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality

 

coco-pixarCOCO

“In an affecting blend of warmth, music, and adventure, COCO composes a pitch-perfect melody that made my soul sing.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“It’s just a shame that the storytelling can’t quite match Pixar’s superbly rendered visuals.” – Brett Michel, The Improper Bostonian

“The film builds to an emotional tribute…  that brings to mind the opening sequence of another Pixar triumph, UP.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

 

Breadwinner633x356THE BREADWINNER

“There may be no more appropriate a time for Cartoon Saloon’s THE BREADWINNER to land in theaters than now.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
