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.

The End of the Tour
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Like an energetic terrier and a cautious great dane sussing each other up, Eisenberg and Segel are an unlikely yet perfect pairing in director James Ponsoldt’s dual character study, one which plays like the road trip version of “My Dinner with Andre.”
A LEGO Brickumentary
[New Today] James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
[New Today] Donald Jay Levit @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Really nothing more than an extended promotional reel for the Danish company,…but despite being a mite padded, it’s a mostly sprightly tour through the byways of Legoland.

- Excerpt: If even these two witty, well-educated, well-mannered men of letters couldn’t keep their on-air interactions from degenerating into cheap shots and name-calling, who could?
Capital C
Chris Barsanti @ Film Journal International
- Excerpt: This thin but inspirational documentary about creators turning dreams into reality by raising funds via online platforms like Kickstarter has a simple message: If you conceive it, and it is awesome, the crowdfunding will come.

Nicholas Bell @ Ioncinema
Steve Biodrowski @ Hollywood Gothique

Blind
José M. Robado @ CineCrítico [Spanish]
Dirty Politics
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
The Editor
- Excerpt: The Editor lampoons the Italian tradition of splashy/shoddy horror popularized by Daria Argento, Lucio Fulci, and other filmmakers and puts a distinctly Canadian twist on this ultra-violent and super-sexy subgenre. It’s a bloody hoot.
Everything Will Be Fine
Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
Get Well Soon
José M. Robado @ CineCrítico [Spanish]
Mallory
- Excerpt: Director Treštíková’s latest film is one of her best, telling a wholly compelling story on its own terms – and Mallory’s bureaucratic nightmare also turns the film into something of a social polemic.
