BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 12/5/2025

100 NIGHTS OF HERO

“Why spend a thousand nights fending off the patriarchy when an hour and a half will do?” Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex

 

 

MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG

Merrily We Roll Along may seem like a cynical exercise about people who have messed up  their lives, but it’s really about bad choices having consequences, and hoping not to lose the optimism of one’s youth.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

HAMNET

“The film builds to an anguished climax, and is then capped by an exhilarating final scene linking all the film’s narrative strands, culminating in an epiphany as we hear Hamlet’s famous soliloquy as if for the first time.” Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

SENTIMENTAL VALUE

“One of the best opening scenes ever–an actress in the throes of stage fright on opening night! The scene foreshadows what’s at stake in the film: the visceral connection between real life and life on stage.” Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
