BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 3/15/2024

FRENCH GIRL

“French Girl is a serviceable romantic comedy that could have been better, with a solid cast that makes the most of its benefits and does its best with its deficits.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

ONE LIFE

“Some may find the film overly sentimental, but it earns those emotions honestly. It’s hard not to be moved to tears at the moment when the elder Winton is confronted with the enormity of what he accomplished.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

UPROAR

“From the outset, Uproar, directed by Paul Middleditch and Hamish Bennett, captured my imagination and stole my heart. While it certainly has much to say about the characters’ time, place, and culture, Uproar does it with a universal voice.”John Black, Cinekong

ESCAPE

Yes, there are women in bikinis who get kidnapped by a ruthless (and creepy) gang of criminals, and some of them fire guns before the film ends. But thanks to writer/director Howard J. Ford, Escape is nothing cheap or salacious; it’s all about empowerment—and bloody, well-deserved revenge.John Black, Cinekong
