Buffaloed
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Zoey Deutch gives a great performance in a movie that deftly mixes comedy with social commentary.
Come As You Are
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews

Olympic Dreams
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: It’s a shame that such unprecedented access to the Olympic Village was squandered on a paper-thin story that goes nowhere and accomplishes nothing.
Olympic Dreams
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: Olympic Dreams [is] a heartfelt and introspective journey that delves within the human psyche caught in stasis [to remind us] that we’re more than our achievements or failures.
VFW
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Satisfyingly bloody and wickedly funny.
VFW
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Joe Begos’ VFW feels like it crawled out of a grimy, urine-soaked 1980s gutter. And I mean that in the best possible way.
VFW
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: Marry that carnage with performances hinged upon authenticity specifically because of what kind of film this is rather than despite it and you’re in for an entertaining treat.

Ron Wilkinson @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: An explosive look at the horrors of war grounded by great performances from every person on the screen.
Come to Daddy

The Nest
Dennis Schwartz @ Dennis Schwartz Reviews
- Excerpt: A curious and disturbing family drama.
Street Dancer 3D
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
The Woman Who Loves Giraffes
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
