Superboys of Malegaon
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Kagti perhaps overreaches in attempting to tell Shaikh’s entire story, her front-loaded film facing abrupt pacing issues in its more moving second half…nonetheless a satisfying entertainment, members of its large ensemble all getting a chance to shine.

Armand
- Excerpt: Armand is at its best when it serves as a showcase for its quartet of talented lead actors, and at its worst when it tries to do anything more complicated than let them run the show.
BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It will make you laugh and cry and feel uncomfortable, and even reconsider some aspects of your lives. And if it ends up being the end of the franchise, well, I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye to this character.
Bring Them Down
Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: It’s a truly grim drama with blood and anger dripping off every frame. The cycle [of violence] might finally be over, but the damage has already been done.
Cleaner
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: The filmmakers might as well have just delivered their Die Hard retread without jumping through hoops they so readily erase whenever finding themselves flirting with taking an actual stand.
- Excerpt: The best thing about Martin Campbell’s Cleaner is that it knows exactly what it wants to be and doesn’t aspire to push beyond those limitations.
Millers in Marriage
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Yes, it’s Burns making yet another Burns film (like Nick’s backhanded compliment to Maggie), but I think the performances excel enough to overcome any fatigue that truth might conjure in those looking for a reason to watch something else.

Ainde estou aqui
Samuel Castro @ EL Colombiano [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Es cierto que la principal debilidad de “Aún estoy aquí”, de Walter Salles, es que se acaba tres veces, pero también es cierto que ese error, cada vez más común en el cine actual, en este caso se disculpa porque es consecuencia de la mayor fortaleza de la película: el enorme cariño que Walter Salles tiene por sus personajes.
Do Not Enter
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A fulfilling found footage supernatural horror film, with several sequences of undeniable suspense, effective jump scares, and at least one memorable sequence.
Queer
Samuel Castro @ EL Colombiano [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Hoy nadie se escandaliza con la palabra homosexual. No al menos como la hace la vecina de mesa en el pequeño restaurante de esa Ciudad de México de cartulina y fantasía en la que ubica Luca Guadagnino a William Lee, la encarnación de sí mismo que William Burroughs utilizó para narrar sus propias vivencias en “Queer”.
