BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 09/17/2021
EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE
“Harwood, making his screen debut, instantly becomes an actor we’ll want to look out for in the future. He effortlessly carries the weight of the film from its comic to its emotional elements.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE
“Chastain depicts Tammy Faye’s essential innocence about the world around her, which didn’t always serve her well, but at times could be disarming. Even with the heavy make-up that would define her for so many, Chastain doesn’t turn the performance into a mockery.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
LADY OF THE MANOR
“LADY OF THE MANOR takes its thin premise–the friendship between a ne’er-do-well modern woman and the 19th century ghost of a proper Southern belle–and spins its wheels for an hour-and-a-half.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

SMALL ENGINE REPAIR
“There are many things to like about Small Engine Repair, but consistency might not be one of them. It begins as a film in the mold of a modest drama, say The Wrestler, but concludes as more of a thriller or crime story a la Winter’s Bone.” – Randy Steinberg, Blast Magazine

IT TAKES THREE
“Overturning genre expectations are fine, but there’s also satisfaction in seeing a story told well, enjoying the fresh spin of the details. Such is the case here.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
