Badland Hunters
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
Hundreds of Beavers
Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: . This gleefully unhinged excursion into intrigue, romance, and the call of the wild transcends, and transgresses, many genres with steely determination and a refined sense of absurdity.
- Excerpt: A multimedia extravaganza of frozen idiocy, Hundreds of Beavers is a slapstick tour de force—and its roster of ridiculous mascot-suited wildlife is only the tip of the iceberg.
Land of Bad
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
Lovely, Dark, And Deep
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
Lover, Stalker, Killer
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A must-watch for true-crime documentary fans.
Made in Ingland: The Films of Powell and Pressburger
Paulo Portugal @ Insider.pt [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Martin Scorsese senta-se na cadeira para apresentar a sua história com o cinema de Powell e Pressburger: desde a descoberta destes filmes, ainda na televisão, ao processo de restauro e redescoberta de que hoje são alvo.
Out of Darkness
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
Players
Jeremy Kibler @ GuyAtTheMovies.com
- Excerpt: When taken as a lightly entertaining heist movie, it actually gets away with us not hating these players, even if their games are borderline-sociopathic.
Problemista
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: With his first feature film, Torres proves to have a visual sensibility akin to French director Michel Gondry combined with the intellectual puckishness of Charlie Kaufman.
Shayda
- Excerpt: Inspired by Niasari’s childhood, complete with a dedication “for my mother and the brave women of Iran” and home movie footage over the end credits, Shayda is a remarkable portrait of feminine resilience and a fitting tribute to the fight for basic freedoms that Iranian women continue to wage today.
Spaceman
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a character study of a man who must psychoanalyze his rationale for continually leaving that which he loves the most. And if he does so with the aid of a giant spider…rest assured that Sandler and Dano make this a singular cinematic relationship
Stopmotion
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: “…as a psychological horror, ‘Stopmotion’ delivers on horror, while coming up a bit short on the psychology… It’s admittedly style over substance, but the surplus of style makes up for a shortfall in substance.”
Suze
Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: The performances of Watkins and Gillespie are what make this picture sweet rather than an awkward May-December drama.

12.12: The Day
Panos Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Perhaps a level lower than “Man Standing Next”, “12.12: The Day” still remains a captivating political thriller, benefitting the most by the story, the acting, and its production values.
Four Daughters
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: In documenting the Islamic radicalization which splits apart a family, Ben Hania’s film becomes something of a therapy session but “Four Daughters” is also often a joyous occasion of recollections, laughter and love.
Io Capitano
Christopher Reed @ Hammer to Nail
- Excerpt: It’s a harrowing, if ultimately rewarding, experience.
