Ad Astra
Ága
Frederic & Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: Visually stunning portrait of the spiritual struggles of indigenous people to survive.
The Art of Driving in the Rain
João Pinto @ Portal CInema [Portuguese]
Bennett’s War
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Bennett’s War has clunky, unimaginative dialogue and stiff performances.
Don’t Let Go
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Don’t Let Go offers simple thrills with an enticing premise, but it’s the performances that ultimately make it resonate.
Honeyland
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Stefanov took pictures of Hatidze on a scouting expedition and the filmmakers decided to make her their focus, leading to one of the most fortuitous if heartbreaking natural dramas of the cinematic year.
Kardec
Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: The subject matter lends itself to confusion and the dialogue seems a bit flat, but costumes and interesting settings help us feel a sense of place, and that’s important for a period movie like this.
Killerman
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Killerman wants to be a hard-edged crime drama. Aside from some nicely gritty cinematography, it brings nothing of value to the table.
Marriage Story
Dennis Schwartz @ Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: Shoots for laughs despite its serious nature.
Official Secrets
Frederic & Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A true story about conscience as a catalyst to change, a spur to morality, and a source of hope.
Official Secrets
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: while the story itself is often riveting, Hood’s execution is often bumpy, some aspects presently dryly, others too abruptly…The film’s brightest note is Ralph Fiennes who gives a puckish quality to his portrayal of human rights lawyer Ben Emmerson
Official Secrets
Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: While director Gavin Hood makes no excuses for Bush and his clan, his direct ire and vitriol accuses Blair and the British government of high crimes against the British people. He is angry and here in 2019 to ensure you do not forget the audacity and ineptitude of 2003.
Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: unless you are a hardcore Republican, or maybe even if you are, her words will have you rolling in the aisles.
Satanic Panic
James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
Satanic Panic
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Class war, gooey horror style.
Tigers Are Not Afraid
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: There’s probably better markers to highlight when a community’s abject horror fosters enough self-destruction and futility to reach full exposure and ensure children can no longer be shielded from its truth, but that doesn’t diminish the heartbreaking sorrow [dark, metaphorical fairy tales] lay bare.
Tone-Deaf
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: While [Tone-Deaf can be a rollicking good time] when stripped of the excess a peripheral cast ruled by convenience provides, those moments are few and far between.
Volition
