BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 4/28/2023

SISU

“Were you dissatisfied by the John Wick movies because there wasn’t enough action? Did you feel Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds would have been improved by more Nazis being killed? Finnish filmmaker Jalmari Helander feels your pain and offers up Sisu.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE ARTIFICE GIRL

“The Artifice Girl is the sort of small, intelligent science fiction film that proves the genre is capable of much more than the special effects extravaganzas churned out by Hollywood.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

POLITE SOCIETY

“Nida Manzoor’s first feature film, Polite Society, gives a glimpse at the messaging the incumbent Gen Z is being raised on: Your dreams are absurd, you’re a ninny for following them, and please clean up the mess you made when you kicked your sister through her bedroom door.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

SUMMONING SYLVIA

“Summoning Sylvia is an enjoyable time with a captivating crop of characters; just don’t expect any of it to scare you.” – Derek Deskins, EDGE Media Network

“What makes Summoning Sylvia stand out is combining an old-fashioned haunted house story with an up-to-minute LGBTQ comic sensibility.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

TETRIS

“Even if you’ve never played Tetris (and you can play an official version of it here), Tetris successfully lines up all the complicated pieces of the story into an entertaining whole.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

A GOOD PERSON

“A Good Person is the sort of grown-up movie that the people who haven’t returned to movie theaters for action or special effects extravaganzas have been hungering.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

CHILDREN OF THE CORN

“This Children Of The Corn is no horror classic, but it is not bereft of ideas, and Kampouris and Moyer – the latter especially chilling – make this an often compelling watch.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
