88th_oscars_nominated_shorts

88th_oscars_nominated_shortsHere are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • [New – 2/11/16] | (Animated) Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: The animated segment is often my favorite of the three shorts programs because they illicit the most diverse array of feelings – ranging from joy to sadness, sometimes within the same vignette.
  • [New – 2/11/16] | (Documentary) Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: If you do decide to see these one after another, be sure to go with a loved one so you can hug each other after it’s all over.
  • [New – 2/11/16] | (Live-Action) Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: This category is arguably the hardest of all the Oscar categories to call.
  • (Animated) Courtney Howard @ FreshFiction.tv
  • (Live-Action) Courtney Howard @ FreshFiction.tv
  • (Animated) MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: The wonderfully weird, hilariously morbid “World of Tomorrow” crams in more disturbing, sinister science-fiction ideas than a decade’s worth of blockbusters.
  • (Documentary) MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: “A Girl in the River” masterfully portrays a culture that justifies killing women, its rage subsumed by a dispiriting account of how its customs are perpetuated.
  • (Live-Action) MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: “Day One” is a wartime drama the likes of which we have not seen before, with a marvelous Layla Alizada as an interpreter with U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
  • (Animated) Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
    • Excerpt: Animated Short nominees reviewed
  • (Documentary) Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
    • Excerpt: Documentary Short nominees reviewed
  • (Live-Action) Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
    • Excerpt: Live Action Short nominees reviewed
  • [New – 2/11/16] | (Documentary) Pat Mullen @ POV Magazine
    • Excerpt: This year’s nominees offer one of Oscar’s stronger categories.
