CASSANDRO

“The way Bernal bares his soul for the camera in that scene captures the viewers’ hearts and makes Cassandro real.” – John Black, Cinekong

ROTTING IN THE SUN

“For a movie built on the tension between silly diversion and existential dread, “Rotting in the Sun” feels like an intellectually teasing thriller, somewhat in the vein of Hitchcock (who also knew the value of a good running gag or two).” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

BOTTOMS

“Emma Seligman has delivered a movie that stretches its own genre and tells a story that is decidedly unique, while also feeling cozily familiar. Bottoms is smart, different, and, through it all, unrelentingly funny.” – Derek Deskins, EDGE Media Network

THE POD GENERATION

“The Pod Generation has too much on its mind, introducing one idea after another as worldbuilding details to buttress its main concerns about women’s bodily autonomy. As fumbles go, Barthes straining her story’s seams isn’t a game-ender; when making art that imagines the future by mulling over the present, it’s worse by far not to think enough.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

“Those looking for a thoughtful, gentle film which will leave you with something to think about will find The Pod Generation offers views a “what if?” that may not be as far-fetched as we might like.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE

“When the insults turn friendly, the underlying erotic charge powering their feelings for each other find their way to the surface in this gay rom com. The two leads bring a heartfelt freshness to their roles, along with loads of charm.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER

“The Dracula aboard The Demeter is a vicious, hungry animal. Period. There’s no clue of the man shape he will assume once he arrives at Carfax Abbey. And that’s a good thing.” – John Black, Cinekong

JULES

“Jules is ultimately a touching story about the very human need to make connections – with family, with friends, and even with visitors from another world.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

MEDUSA DELUXE

“Medusa Deluxe possesses no shortage of either style or substance; it boasts both a dazzling visual gimmick and one of the densest and wordiest screenplays of the year. Yet these two aspects never quite gel, resulting in a film that feels curiously less than the sum of its parts.” – Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
