BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 1/12/2024

NIGHT SWIM

“Forty-nine years ago, Universal Studios unleashed Jaws on the world, making everyone afraid to go into the ocean. This week, the studio joined Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster to put out Night Swim, a movie that wants to make you afraid to swim in your backyard pool.”John Black, Cinekong

STROKING AN ANIMAL

“Perhaps, as with love, what you take away from “Stroking an Animal” depends largely on what you brought with you, and how much you invested into it.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

 

ZONE OF INTEREST

“More than any other film this year – perhaps this decade – The Zone of Interest will dig itself under your skin, will gnaw like a canker sore on the back of your subconscious.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

THE BEEKEEPER

“…there are a few attempts to explore the more significant meaning behind the bad guys’ motives and make the movie relevant, but they’re just a dumb distraction, something to fill the space between ass-kickings.John Black, Cinekong
