Chevalier
- Excerpt: An important film I am sure. Chevalier’s work should now endure.
Devilreaux
- Excerpt: Sometimes movies can be so awful that they cross over into the funny territory… Unfortunately, Devilreaux is not one of those movies.
God Is a Bullet
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: God Is a Bullet is a reprehensible film that takes great pleasure in showing scene after scene of women being brutally beaten or killed.
The Last Rider
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: The Last Rider is packed with details about the interactions and strategies of Tour de France participants that help make Greg LeMond’s resurgence even more impressive.
Lust Stories 2
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Palm Trees and Power Lines
Paulo Portugal @ Insider [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Nunca Chove na Califórnia, a premiada primeira longa de Jamie Dack, acaba de chegar à plataforma de streaming Filmin. E com o acompanhamento do hype de ter conquistado o prémio de realização em Sundance. Algo que haveria de empurrar o filme para um generoso percurso internacional.
Run Rabbit Run
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: ts repetitiveness and lack of narrative momentum keeps things stuck in neutral.
Sheroes
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Everyone involved in this movie should be embarrassed.
Surrounded
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: I was enthralled throughout by the effectiveness of the plotting, but also Wright’s performance. Bell is fantastic, but it’s Wright who carries the drama
Tiku Weds Sheru
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Unidentified Objects
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Unidentified Objects’ fits firmly within the road movie genre, with a couple of twists: it focuses on one of its two travelers much more than the other, and it’s spiked with hallucinatory sci-fi interludes.
