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.

Low Movie (How to Quit Smoking)
[New Today] Jamie S. Rich @ Oregon Live
- Excerpt: Harder works with the band’s rhythms and moods to create an abstract visual language, placing the performers in various unlikely environments. Strung together, the clips create a bizarre yet compelling narrative that mirrors the band’s sonic evolution.
Monsters Wanted
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A rare unromantic look at just how much labor (and risk) goes into a labor of love…
Rewind This!
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
Una Noche
