Bones and All
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Chalamet and Russell find a soulful balance together, one of the great romantic pairings of the year, but Mark Rylance’s eerie, lisping loneliness, at once pitiful and threatening, makes an equally strong impression with far less screen time.
Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Bones and All is the sort of lovingly realized feature that understands its oddities and matches its high concept with authentic performances and a touching approach to the filmmaking.
Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: No matter what you hear about the movie – it features graphic violence and vivid depictions of cannibalism – its real power lies in capturing the almost ineffable experience of finding a sense of home, belonging, trust, and deep love in another human being.
The Fabelmans
Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: There’s a special joy in seeing Spielberg tell this story. A masterful filmmaker who is not above his own flaws has certainly found a proper path in delivering something reverential yet critical.
Limited (United States)
White Noise
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Baumbach’s adaptation works best as it transitions between its first two acts… but the film increasingly becomes a chore to endure.

Blood Relatives
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: BLOOD RELATIVES is definitely a new take on the vampire mythos.
Brahmastra Part One – Shiva
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
A Couple
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: In adapting Sophia Tolstoy’s letters and diaries, Wiseman and Boutefeu reveal an insightful and passionate explorer of the human heart, an eloquent writer hidden in the shadow of her uncommonly famous husband.
Disenchanted
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: This pales in comparison to the original – in concept and in execution. It tries to catch lightning in a bottle a second time and misses.
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is a fantastic fantasy created by del Toro and Gustafson, and it’s a dark, whimsical, and original take on the beloved classic story. Everything from the incredibly crafted stop-motion animation to the voice cast, and the strong themes to resonate with after it’s over, you’d be silly not to find this incredible through every frame.
Love in the Time of Fentanyl
- Excerpt: Askey’s Independent Lens-bound film is a humane, loving, and sorrowfully impassioned portrait of the people who staff the Overdose Prevention Society (OPS) in Vancouver’s addiction-riddled Downtown Eastside neighborhood.
V/H/S/99
C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: The idea of urban legends in V/H/S/99 feels like the first wave of internet folklore just prior to the emergence of creepypastas and other forms of internet storytelling.
