Till
David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Till isn’t the easiest film to watch, but under Chinonye Chukwu’s direction, it made for a profoundly compelling biopic that can’t be ignored. In addition, Danielle Deadwyler’s unforgettable performance as Mamie Till Mobley is phenomenal.
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Deadwyler’s ‘a mother knows’ court testimony is the stuff Oscar clips derive from, a powerfully moving, emotional speech.
2022 Films In Theaters Now In Select Areas
All Quiet on the Western Front
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: there are some instances when a second interpretation of the same source material can stand alongside its predecessor…Such is the case with…Berger’s adaptation…which presents war’s horrors more explicitly and realistically
Bandit
Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: Smooth, unassuming, dashing and handsome, Josh Duhamel plays a real-life Canadian bank-robber, Gilbert Galvan Jr. (also known as The Flying Bandit), with James Bond finesse and a Steve Martin kind of self-deprecating humor.
Carmen
Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: “Carmen” is a fun film full of spiritual metaphors and implications. As the clapper in the bell is taken in the beginning of the film, it is only returned once Carmen finds her voice.
Empire of Light
- Excerpt: “Empire of Light” showcases another impressive Olivia Colman performance, along with Deakins’ lush cinematography and a great score. That said, Sam Mendes’ latest is missing a sense of magic that made me feel disconnected throughout the story.
Hellraiser
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Sure, the horror is sleek on a technical level, but dramatically there’s nothing that keeps us locked in.
Nothing Compares
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
Piggy
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Pereda mixes many genres, her genius concept in having a bullied, ostracized teen ‘seen’ and treated sympathetically by a serial killer a twist on the coming-of-age trope of naïve young girl falling for the wrong guy.
Tár
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Cate Blanchett has long been one of our greatest actresses but her latest performance is in a category all its own, an astonishing study of an artist so revered her genius has cast her bad behavior in shadow.
Tiger 24
Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: Pereira, from his perch with a camera, gives us a spectacular view of the wild and the civilized, as well as the brutal and the ignorant. This is a film to see.
Triangle of Sadness
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The film plays like a mash-up of Lina Wertmüller’s “Swept Away” and Michael Winterbottom’s “Greed” by way of ‘Gilligan’s Island.’
Werewolf by Night
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: With Halloween just around the corner, this creature feature provides a timely but forgettable experience for MCU completists.
Werewolf by Night
- Excerpt: Werewolf by Night is a major win for the MCU! It’s brutal, gory, and occasionally funny. Giacchino shows promise as a director. Can’t wait to see where these characters pop up next. We need more Marvel Studios Special Presentations ASAP.
