Children of the Corn
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: I just wish it didn’t have to be so generic. It once again seeks to sanitize source material that refreshingly embraced the futility of our struggle to survive our own attempts at self-extermination.
La Civil
- Excerpt: La Civil is ultimately an uneven crime thriller carried by an exceptional actress. Still, its subject matter is so important, and certain moments so impactful, that one is almost inclined to overlook its weaknesses.
Free Skate
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: Free Skate is beautifully shot by Mikke Kaurio, and skating scenes involving the central character are cleverly framed to disguise the fact that Vilo was a world-class gymnast, not a skater…
Godland
A Little White Lie
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Maren and Belden take us to some weird places for the gag. Shannon and Hudson are very good, though. Both trying their best to tether the surrounding chaos to the ground.
One Fine Morning
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Mia Hansen-Løve has created a story with such intelligence, warmth, and insight that any person from any walk of life can see themselves in it.
Operation Fryday
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Spoonful of Sugar
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: There are definitely some intriguing moments and worthwhile commentary about double-standards and how abused people abuse others, but so much of it arrives as shock value without depth.
When Will It Be Again Like It Never Was Before
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Heiss handles these tonal shifts very well with an excellent cast of young actors bolstered by commanding, emotionally complex turns from Striesow and especially Tonke.

Argentina, 1985
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Oscar-nominated courtroom drama about bringing a military dictatorship to justice.
Close
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: You have to give Dambrine a lot of credit for his performance. Dequenne is fantastic, but he holds his own in the silences and whispers and thousand yard stares.
My Policeman
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: MY POLICEMAN is primarily set in a 1950s Britain where “the love that dare not speak its name” is still “the love that dare not speak its name.”
