BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 12/23/2022
BABYLON
“Babylon features the best opening of the year.” – Duane Miller, Cinemania World Podcast
“Few contemporary Hollywood films propel themselves with this sort of manic energy, and fewer still are permitted to be this raunchy on such a hefty studio budget.” – Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
TRUMPISM & THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY
Filmmaker Charlie Spickler set out to explore the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry in the Age of Trump, and the result – Trumpism & The American Jewish Community – is a thoughtful and provocative film that provides context for how former President Trump, in effect, gave permission for such transgressive behavior to re-emerge in public.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH
“Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is a huge disappointment. The lure of a franchise is that it’s easier to market a known commodity. That works for donuts and hamburgers, not so much for creative storytelling.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE WHALE
“Brendan Fraser gives the performances of a lifetime in The Whale.” – Duane Miller, Cinemania World Podcast
“I’m happy for Brendan Fraser, and I’m thrilled that he’s emerged from his exile a stronger actor than ever. I just wish his return came in the form of a film I could recommend anyone go see.” – Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER
“The best film of the year!” – Duane Miller, Cinemania World Podcast
“As for those visuals, Cameron has been dazzling us for years and the innumerable artists and technicians have created an alien world that seems as real as the view out your window. Listing them all is undoubtedly what pushes the film to just over the three-hour mark. It’s been suggested that at this length the return of the movie intermission might not be a bad idea, especially for a movie called The Way of Water.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE APOLOGY
“The Apology is a talky two-character drama that purports to be a psychological thriller. It might hold the interest of viewers who find themselves as snowed in as the people are here, but just barely.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
AMERICAN MURDERER
“This is the story of a charming, lowlife grifter who crossed the line, not a serial killer. In the end, it’s less about that heinous crime than the living wreckage Brown left in his wake.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies
