Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger
- Excerpt: Directed by David Hinton and presented on screen by an irresistably effusive Scorsese, the new documentary Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger is essentially a cinematic love letter from Scorsese to these two men.

Blackwater Lane
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: A mediocre supernatural thriller.
The Convert
- Excerpt: A very hollow victory indeed
The Devil’s Bath
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Nothing is strictly horror per se, but the psychological and emotional toll definitely creates an air of anxious uncertainty. A good portion of that is also conjured through Plaschg’s performance.
A Family Affair
- Excerpt: Kidman always gives us a treat. And Efron as grown-up is neat!
The Imaginary
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: An animated fantasy that engages youngsters and adults alike with a friendship tale and the danger of evil forces.
Kill
The Last Stop in Yuma County
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Just when you think you know where it’s going, Galluppi pulls the rug out from under you, and he does it with panache as well, cinematographer Mac Fisken showcasing the cast and location with various camera angles and techniques…one crafty little indie.
Mother, Couch
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: [Larsson] wants us to fill in the blanks. How does this story relate to our life? Its power demands our participation.
Property
C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: Property doesn’t pull many punches. It hits far, far harder, and probes much deeper, than any Marxist-leaning story you’ve caught onscreen in recent memory.
The Secret Art of Human Flight
- Excerpt: Conventions exist to be defied
