Because of embargoes (those happy little restrictions on when critics can post reviews, good or bad), a lot of our critics aren’t able to share links with you until release day. Here are some last-minute reviews for this weekend’s upcoming films. We’ve kept in all the reviews posted yesterday as well so you can have more help in deciding what to see (if you haven’t already).
Our critics have been hard at work reviewing the latest films. Here is a look at what’s coming out this weekend (in select cities, check your local listings) and what else may be in theaters right now.

Curious George Swings into Spring
James Plath @ Family Home Theater
- Excerpt: Even though Curious George Swings into Spring is episodic, it builds nicely to a climax, and there’s a positive message embedded in a character arc.

The Great Magician
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
- Excerpt: The best trick in The Great Magician is convincing the viewer that all things are possible.
Hemel
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
- Excerpt: For myself, the best parts of Hemel did nothing to propel the narrative, where director Sacha Polak simply let the camera meditate on the face of Hannah Hoekstra.

Turning
- Excerpt: A collaboration between filmmaker Charles Atlas and singer Antony Hegarty, “Turning” captures musical selections from a special European tour Hegarty undertook with his band the Johnsons in 2006. As much a performance piece as it was a concert, Hegarty handpicked individual women, including some who are transsexual, to appear on stage as models during the songs.

Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: What Eldar wants us to see is that when you remove the “us against them” mass identities that divide us and put people together on a human basis, their humanity trumps their ideology.
