BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 1/23/2026

THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE

Shouldn’t a film about the difficult birth of a radical religious movement be more than a way to spend 2 hours staring at a screen, waiting for the bland to become bold?John Black, Cinekong

 

 

MOTHER OF FLIES

Mother of Flies is what might be called “arthouse horror.” There’s lots of blood, to be sure, but it’s a slow burning film where all the pieces don’t fall into place until the final 20 minutes.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
