BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 05/12/2017

maxresdefault (34)KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD

“KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD turns out to be nothing more than a failed practice in repetition.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“There are many movie versions of the King Arthur legend… However, director Guy Ritchie wasn’t put off. He saw that there hadn’t been one that combined martial arts with giant snakes; now, there has been.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“One or two changes could have possibly put THE WALL in a position to become a cult classic at the very least.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

 

 

 

THREE GENERATIONS3 GENERATIONS

“Dellal, who also co-wrote, throws so much into the film that it should feel overstuffed: Reproductive rights, marriage equality, non-traditional family structures, cross-generational tensions, gender roles, parental rights, sexual liberation, and even a hint of polyamory all find their way into the film’s structure, often by way of its busy, but warm-hearted, dialogue.” – Kilian Melloy, Edge Boston

 

SNATCHED

“There’s so many ways that SNATCHED could have gone wrong that it’s amazing that they managed to pull it off, more or less.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
