Flag Day
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: : although “Flag Day” doesn’t wholly succeed, it is clearly a step up, an impressionistic look at a father and daughter relationship featuring a real father and daughter which also works as an allegory for the myth of the American dream.

Atlas
Beckett
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Beckett doesn’t bring much new to the genre, but the choices it makes are mostly effective in the moment.
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
Bull
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: toes the line between thriller, horror, and crime saga, subverting expectations along the way, creeping toward a dark reveal.
CODA
Candice Frederick @ National Catholic Reporter
CODA
Demonic
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The movie is like a far less successful retread of “Come True” from earlier this year and merely keeps repeating dreams and its literal mind games ad infinitum to diminishing returns
Don’t Breathe 2
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Not everyone will be able to accept some of the choices in the film, but there are enough nasty thrills to make for an entertaining ride.
Naked Singularity
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A very good cast makes a valiant go of it, but a hugely ambitious experimental novel has been boiled down to a tepid mishmash of genres: social-justice drama + black-comedy heist + sci-fi mind-bender.
Raging Fire
Searching for Mr Rugoff
Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
Shankar’s Fairies
Shershaah
Whelm

The Truffle Hunters
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Delightful in its simplicity and profound in its wisdom. Specific yet universal, it’s an empathetic portrait of charming subjects. It’s also really funny.
