Forsaken
Kenji Fujishima @ Paste
Carson Lund @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: A film like Forsaken doesn’t come around often—that is, one that adheres to the dictionary definition of a classical genre without ever attempting to subvert it, nor stand out within it or do a single thing that might be perceived as being flexible with the playbook.
Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: A sort of cinematic antique, a fifties western that’s been spruced up but doesn’t even try to hide its dusty origins. But it has small pleasures, especially in the casting.
Francofonia
Josh Brunsting @ The CriterionCast

A Hard Day
Sean Axmaker @ Stream On Demand
- Excerpt: Call it a modern Korean cop noir with a wicked sense of humor and an absurdly busy catalog of disasters.
Home Care
How to Be Single

Hyena Road
Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words
- Excerpt: Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words wonderfully humanizes an icon who already seems so down-to-earth in her performances. It’s a warm, frank, and affectionate portrait.

Portrait of a Serial Monogamist
- Excerpt: As Elsie wanders the city like a tramp in search of a lady, one can’t help but enjoy the charm of Portrait of a Serial Monogamist and hope that she finds a partner—and maybe even herself.

Touched with Fire
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: Unfortunately, I didn’t quite find the same level of investment when it’s just Holmes and Kirby. They’re both great at getting to the heart of their illness thanks to Dalio’s direction and their own driven attachment to the material, but the plot facilitating their collision course is too convenient.
Triple 9
Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Officer down.

Zootopia
José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Disney vuelve a la carga (en realidad vive en una carga constante desde hace años) con esta genial propuesta de animación detectivesca que propone un plano técnico verdaderamente bárbaro. A vender muñecos, sí, pero aquí también hay forma y fondo. Genial.
Diego Salgado @ Cine para Leer [Spanish]
2016 Films (Coming Soon)
The Art of the Prank
Josh Brunsting @ The CriterionCast
As We Were Dreaming
Hugo Gomes @ Cinematograficamente Falando … [Portuguese]

Gored
The Host
How to Win Enemies
In Your Dreams!
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: Behind all the cool choreographed stunts and trippy mind warps between life and fantasy is a young girl lost at her latest make-or-break moment. She’s on the ledge with the danger independence supplies laid out in front of her and a safety rope close enough to assist in the jump.
