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
