Black Souls
Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
- Excerpt: “Black Souls” hurts.
Clouds of Sils Maria
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: one of the truly great films about acting, “All About Eve” refracted through the lens of Bergman’s “Persona,” squared.
Ex Machina

Kill Me Three Times
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …despite an interestingly assembled cast and the unique location of Eagles Nest, Australia, Stenders’ film is akin to watching someone move chess pieces around a board.
Lost River
- Excerpt: What we have here is a muddied mess of erratic ramblings, a movie that contains a lot of individual surreal elements and has nothing to hold it all together apart from Gosling’s own blind faith that weird = clever.
Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
- Excerpt: Gosling shows a certain kind of promise and I’m sure he’ll make a great movie one day as a director. This just isn’t it.

About Elly
Chris Barsanti @ Film Journal International
- Excerpt: A seemingly innocent matchmaking scheme goes horribly awry in this deft and delicate 2009 drama from Asghar Farhadi.
Beyond the Mask
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Wannabe Christian swashbuckler throws a lot of stuff up on the screen in the hopes that something will stick as exciting and romantic. None of it does.
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: It wants to be a faith-based film, a historical drama, and an action/adventure movie at the same time. Those three things are blended together awkwardly, leading to shifts in tone that can be jarring.
Big Voice
Cut Bank
Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Less ‘Fargo Lite’ than ‘Fargo Flat’…a thoroughly pedestrian stroll through Coen brothers territory.
Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: An entertaining but slow-paced thriller about fraud and murder in a small town.
Deli Man
Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: A delectable, artery-clogging delight…
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Dial a Prayer
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat

Last Knights
Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘Last Knights’ has an exhilarating ending and an archetypal display of loyalty as Clive Owen proves his devotion to Morgan Freeman.

Aftermath
Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: The crime melodrama, which its makers have dubbed a ‘black comedy thriller,’ has a few oddball moments but is never funny, and it certainly isn’t thrilling.

2015 Films (Coming Soon)
Arctic Spleen
As We Were Dreaming
Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth [German]
- Excerpt: It’s a vivid reenactment of Leipzig in the early 90s, but, saddled as it is with a mediocre scipt, it’s more fun to think about it than to actually watch it.
A Celtic Pilgrimage with John O’Donohue
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A beautifully filmed documentary in which John O’Donohue explains the importance of landscape in Celtic spirituality.
A Wonderful Cloud
Dustin Jansick @ Way Too Indie
- Excerpt: A split couple avoid making things official in this awkward but honest relationship tale.
