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.

2013 Films Not Yet In Theaters
Artifact
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
Empire State
[New Today] Amir Siregar @ Flick Magazine [Indonesian]
Filth
- Excerpt: The scummiest, most depressing Christmas movie you’ll ever see (though Terry Zwigoff’s Bad Santa probably comes close), Jon S. Baird’s Filth, from the acclaimed ‘unfilmable’ novel by Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting) is bolstered by a tour-de-force, balls-to-the-wall lead performance by James McAvoy but falters in just one regard: it almost sanitizes Welsh’s original vision.
The Giants
God Loves Caviar
Jappeloup
Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
Lasting
- Excerpt: Where the first half might be equal measures sweet and then, eventually, somewhat dramatic, there’s never any fruits at the end of that labour. After half an hour of building up a nice Romance, Borcuch abandons it’
Paradise: Hope
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: An overweight 13-year-old girl exploration of her sexual yearnings while attending a “diet camp.”
