Because of embargoes (those happy little restrictions on when critics can post reviews, good or bad), a lot of our critics aren’t able to share links with you until release day. Here are some last-minute reviews for this weekend’s upcoming films. We’ve kept in all the reviews posted yesterday as well so you can have more help in deciding what to see (if you haven’t already).
Our critics have been hard at work reviewing the latest films. Here is a look at what’s coming out this weekend (in select cities, check your local listings) and what else may be in theaters right now.

2014 Films (Coming Soon)
Bad Chicken
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: … has a decent enough gimmick and it makes for a watchable enough comedy, but it doesn’t push the outrageousness meter to the lengths it would have to go to get noticed.
Blood Type
- Excerpt: This Estonian documentary by Leena Linna is a sincere account of the psychology of men at war.
The Callback Queen
Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: It’s a movie about young filmmakers making movies, brimming with in jokes about the business, and as cute and endearing and clumsy as a puppy rescued from the pound.
Everybody’s Child
The Golden Dream
Good Night
Don Simpson @ Film Threat
- Excerpt: The true strength of Good Night is the top notch ensemble cast. Throw Alex Karpovsky, Todd Berger, Jason Newman and Chris Doubek into a room together and some sort of cinematic magic is going to happen; but there is also no doubt that it is the emotionally dynamic duo of Adriene Mishler and Jonny Mars who turn Good Night into something that is truly special.
The Great Passage
Hank and Asha
The Heart of Bruno Wizard
Into the Dark
- Excerpt: The fleeting incidents of happenstance and chance make even the coldest, most banal little suburb the place for believable character drive-drama.
My Stuff
- Excerpt: Fun, jazzy, and insightful doc.
Raising Matty Christian
Phil Hall @ Film Threat
- Excerpt: Christian de Rezendes’ profoundly moving documentary on a young man that challenged perceptions of ability and disability.
The Randomers
Frank Ochieng @ Focus of New York Magazine
- Excerpt: [A] quirky and quaint romancer…thought-provoking and solid and never treads on the overly syrupy strokes that a big-budgeted hackneyed Hollywood romancer would exploit.
Sex After Kids
A Story of Children and Film
Matthew Blevins @ Nextprojection.com
- Excerpt: Mark finds new meaning in films that he has shown around the world, showing us that there are always new truths to uncover in the world around us as well as the films that occupy our personal canons.
Tarzan
[New Today] Amir Siregar @ Flick Magazine [Indonesian]
William’s Lullaby
- Excerpt: This promising film from Nicholas Arnold is a dark and hypnotic tale of grief and trauma.
Young & Beautiful
Dustin Jansick @ Way Too Indie
- Excerpt: Jeune & Jolie is unsurprisingly seductive, yet unexpectedly understated.
