Wide (United States)
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Thinks it’s hitting notes of subconscious dread, but it’s just swinging a sledgehammer of tropes and hoping one of them sticks. (Spoiler: None do.)

[REC] 4: Apocalypse
- Excerpt: Tracing the virus’s history now feels akin to explaining the origins of half-siblings, and with about as much flagging interest as that entails.
Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter
- Excerpt: A little long and convoluted, but it has a good heart and an absurdist wit

Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
The Japanese Dog
Jimmy’s Hall
Carlos del Río @ El rincón de Carlos del Río [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Jimmy’s Hall empieza muy bien, pero se va desinflando a medida que avanza, sobre todo porque es un poco confusa, y porque todo el encanto que tiene la primera parte, se va diluyendo en la segunda mitad para centrarse más en conflictos políticos que no están bien desarrollados del todo.
