THE LITTLE MERMAID

“Melissa McCarthy managed to use her scenery chewing powers for good as Ursula.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

THE WRATH OF BECKY

“Fascists are horrible; let’s go kill ‘em all.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

KANDAHAR

“As with the other films Butler has done with director Ric Roman Waugh, like Angel Has Fallen and Greenland, plot and character are simply excuses to get to the next action scene.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“It’s all very chaotic and very dull.” – John Black, Cinekong Reviews

INFLUENCER

“If you can just go with the flow, Influencer may not convince you that’s an occupation with a future, but it will still have you on the edge of your seat to the very end.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

UNDER MY SKIN

“An unconventional love story, Under My Skin feels like a cross pollination between drama and rom-com, with a grounded sensibility that most likely comes from O’Donnell having drawn on his own life experiences.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

SAPIOSEXUAL

“For those willing to go along for the ride, Sapiosexual delivers on both ends of the compound word, proving to be intelligent while indulging the sexual sides of the characters leading to their unexpected ends.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE MOTHER

Viewers wanting to share The Mother with their own mothers might want to first ask Mom about her tolerance for movies with a high body count and not a lot of narrative sense. – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

EVERYTHING WENT FINE

Everything Went Fine doesn’t express a particular point of view about being a family member’s personal Jack Kevorkian, but instead focuses on the tedium of planning, the bureaucracy, and the legal snafus that follow. – David Riedel, Chicago Reader

BLACKBERRY

“Baruchel looks like he’s wearing a grey fright wig left over from someone dressing up as an old man for Halloween.” – John Black, Cinekong Reviews

YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER

“Filmmakers Mark Slutsky and Sarah Watts deliver a poised, and poignant, love story between two teenage girls.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

“You Can Live Forever will play well with LGBTQ+ viewers, while also addressing matters that go beyond sexual orientation. Anyone who recalls the complicated path of young, first love should be able to relate.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 delivers on an emotional and action-packed story! Some aspects of the movie are a bit messy but the good out way the bad.” – Duane Miller, Cinemania World Podcast

“If you let Chris Pratt outshine that’s got to be a slap in the face.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

“What’s Love Got To Do With It? is one of those romantic comedies where we meet the two people destined to be together at the beginning, but it takes the two of them the whole movie to figure it out. Fortunately, there’s enough that’s fresh and original here to make it work.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE FORGER

“Perhaps that’s the real message of The Forger. It almost didn’t matter what you did under the genocidal regime. Surviving was as much a matter of luck and chance as it was possessing any particular skills or taking any deliberate actions.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
