BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 02/26/2016

Triple-9-Movie-01TRIPLE 9

“TRIPLE 9 manages to be both something that’s decent and something that leaves you wishing there was a little bit more to it at the same time.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“…a good, gritty B-movie with a solid A-list cast.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“…t’s all perfectly executed excess, almost like a tribute to B-movies like DEATH WISH.” – Sam Cohen, Under the Gun Review

“…a delightful surprise for its economical craftsmanship and an almost complete lack of pretense.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality

“…for all its clichés and obvious borrowings… somehow manages to be more fun that you might imagine.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

 

only-yesterday-14628-largeONLY YESTERDAY

“Those not expecting to find something filled with magic should be pleasantly surprised at the depth and love that goes into ONLY YESTERDAY.” – Max Covill, Impassioned Cinema

“ONLY YESTERDAY is slow, but it is impeccably measured. Its two-hour running time doesn’t tick by as much as it stands majestically still.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

“Memories are key to Takahata’s narrative; there’s a sadness that informs many of Taeko’s childhood recollections, from her classmates’ mocking to the awkwardly believable way in which she deals with her first menstruation. ” – Brett Michel, The Improper Bostonian
