My Old School
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: McLeod’s film works far better in its secondary goal, his positively charming current day class ‘reunion’ recollections, than it does in its primary, where he belabors his efforts to maintain suspense, over milking his cow.

Don’t Make Me Go
Flux Gourmet
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Adventurous palettes know they can’t go wrong with a serving of Strickland, even if it only primes their appetites for something more substantial.
Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down
- Excerpt: This documentary is about resilience and advocacy, but most of all it is a love story.
Good Madam
Mark Harris @ Black Horror Movies
The Gray Man
- Excerpt: The Gray Man is a noisy, flashy spectacle that piles clichés atop ludicrous plotting and sprinkles it all with half-funny quips.
The Gray Man
Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: The Russo Brothers’ first action film post-Marvel is an utter disappointment
Hurdang
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Jerry & Marge Go Large
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Nowadays, any movie that dares to tell a story about people in their 60s is a bold decision.
NYC Dreams
- Excerpt: Do what’s right for you
Persuasion
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Although the cast tries their hardest to keep things afloat, they each exist on an island. Each person is playing a song, but no one is playing the same rhythm.
Persuasion
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Dakota Johnson is an absolute delight as Anne Elliot. The overall chronicle is less compelling.
Persuasion
- Excerpt: The actors seem to love their parts, and romance angle tugs our hearts. While not perfect, this film will do. Dakota conquers something new!
She Will
- Excerpt: Directed by Charlotte Colbert (in her feature debut) from a script by Colbert and Kitty Percy, She Will boasts some striking images and solid performances, but the film’s story falls surprisingly flat in its attempts to channel aspects of the #MeToo movement through the medium of psychological horror.
Skies of Lebanon
Marilyn Ferdinand @ Alliance of Women Film Journalists
- Excerpt: Social breakdown and the insanity of war are timely subjects for many parts of the world. Skies of Lebanon suggests that love is the one thing to which those of us in dire straits can turn for solace and a way forward.
Vengeance
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Perhaps nothing is more surprising about “Vengeance” than Ashton Kutcher’s performance as Marfa-based record producer Quentin Sellers…It’s the type of casting another Quentin is known for.

The Good Boss
- Excerpt: baked into the humour is a caustic allegory on class-divide and capitalism
