After the Devil Is Dead
- Excerpt: Here’s a film that demonstrates in spades (figurative and literal), “You can’t choose your relatives.”
Bad Apples
- Excerpt: Bad Apples isn’t all bad, but the core is rotten, as school teacher Saoirse Ronan accidentally kidnaps a student and locks him in her basement.
The History of Concrete
- Excerpt: I will probably never look at cracked concrete the same way again after watching John Wilson’s The History of Concrete. On…
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: How To with John Wilson devotees will appreciate that The History of Concrete is little more than a supersized episode of his distinctive documentary style. The unconverted, however, will likely find themselves confused and, hopefully, at least a little delighted. Still, the tighter TV format seems better suited to Wilson’s particular brand of oddball observational storytelling.
Lust Stories 3
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Mayday
Mark Hobin @ fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh have great chemistry. Together, they make this a pleasant throwback to the action comedies of the 1980s.
Middle Life
Sebastian Zavala @ Ventana Indiscreta [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It contrasts a completely planned life with one centred on spontaneity, unfolding a sweet, short romantic story.
Practical Magic 2
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
Sunny Dancer
- Excerpt: Jaques and his young cast make a conventional story feel fresh.
Tiny Fugitives
- Excerpt: Tiny Fugitives has a somewhat anodyne screen presence but its script is crisp, the characters are great, and Johnny Knoxville holds it all together.
Twiggy
- Excerpt: Directed by actress and filmmaker Sadie Frost, who previously examined the life and legacy of another British fashion icon in Quant, the documentary Twiggy explores how this working-class girl from the London suburbs rose to the top of the modeling world and then turned her talents to acting, singing, dancing, and design, embracing new opportunities wherever they arose.
The Weight
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: You can tell a film is working at a high level when a mere conversation is just as riveting as any shootout, car chase, or big explosion.
Without Blood
- Excerpt: “Without Blood” is a meditation on violence, grief, memory, trauma, and locating the line between justice and revenge.
You Had to Be There
- Excerpt: Whether you come to You Had to Be There by way of Godspell or 70s comedy history, you’ll find plenty to delight in from toe to tip.
