MUSK
“As a portrait of the man who was the world’s first trillionaire, Musk is devastating proof of Lord Acton’s famous axiom, ‘Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ ” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“At four hours, there is likely zero chance that anyone who still supports Musk will even give it a hate watch, much less watch it with an open mind.” – Rodney Brown, Nerd Caliber
THE SOCIAL RECKONING
“The Social Reckoning is Sorkin at his best. As with his TV classic The West Wing, it is thoroughly entertaining while leaving you much more knowledgeable about its subject matter after you’ve seen it.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
YOU HAD TO BE THERE
“You Had To Be There is the story of the 1972 Toronto production of Godspell. It was one of those moments that, if this was a work of fiction, you’d never believe it.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE WEIGHT
“While Padraic McKinley, a TV producer/director making his feature debut, keeps things moving, ironically the one thing The Weight lacks is any weightiness, and it’s not the sort of movie that is likely to linger in the memory.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
SUNNY DANCER
“It’s hard to imagine Hollywood seeing the commercial possibilities in a story about teenage cancer survivors, but Sunny Dancer shows how it can be done.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
SHAUN THE SHEEP: THE BEAST OF MOSSY BOTTOM
“Shaun The Sheep: The Beast Of Mossy Bottom is yet another solid entry in what’s turned out to be a very good year for animation. It’s fast, it’s funny, and a sheer delight.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
APRIL X
“April X turns out to be like one of the film’s clones: pretty on the outside, but empty within.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
ON A STRING
“On A String is gentle character study of a young woman trying to find herself, told sympathetically but not mawkishly. Musicians may find it of special interest, but in dealing with the challenges of the adult world, it’s really universal.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
