The Beta Test
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: “The Beta Test” is full of good ideas that Cummings fails to bring together in a satisfactory way, but if his outrageous performance fails to fuel his film to the finish line, it at least gets us half the way there.
One Shot
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Everyone with a boner for tactical action should watch this Scott Adkins one-shot ass kicker this weekend
Spencer
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: It is a sign of a strong performance when we forget that we are watching the actor giving it, something Kristen Stewart accomplishes within the opening minutes of this fictional psychological portrait of the iconic Princess of Wales.

8 Rue L’Humanite
Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
Army of Thieves
Derek Deskins @ Edge Media Network
- Excerpt: Army of Thieves takes a great character from a poorly made movie and gives him a place to play. And while Schweighöfer is the primary reason that any of it works, at least this time that was on purpose.
Beans
Shelagh Rowan-Legg @ ScreenAnarchy
Dybbuk
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
The French Dispatch
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: This anthology features a large and celebrated cast. Tilda Swinton returns for her 4th Wes Anderson picture, and she was a particular delight.
The French Dispatch
Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: We should be so lucky to have filmmakers creating such an achievement as The French Dispatch.
Mainstream
Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
New York Ninja
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Once lost to time, New York Ninja is here for martial arts vengeance, speedo spearfishing, and villains wearing jockstraps on the outside of their pants.
New York Ninja
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Every last choice the movie makes is totally off the wall—seriously, at one point the Ninja roller skates into battle.
Night Teeth
Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
Nightshooters
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Nightshooters is a showcase for Jean-Paul Ly, but how does the rest of the movie compare?
Ron’s Gone Wrong
Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
The Souvenir: Part II
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: : If “The Souvenir” conveyed the power and pain of the filmmaker’s mysterious first love, “Part II” finds her breaking free of its oppression to proclaim herself.
Wolfgang
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
