"Ugo Bienvenu's magical feature debut encases an "E.T." like adventure story about friendship spanning two different worlds within an environmental message that offers both a dire warning and hope for our future." #Arco #UgoBienvenu

"like a French take on "Manhattan Murder Mystery" where the self appointed investigator is a psychiatrist who stands to solve a lot more about herself and her former marriage...The filmmaker really wanted Foster and the actress embraces the role" #APrivateLife

[Bekmambetov]'s latest, featuring his usual schlocky visual flash, coasts for a while on its cheap thrills concept before sliding off the rails into cheap spectacle and incestuously contrived conspiracy. #MercyMovie #ChrisPratt #RebeccaFerguson #TimurBekmambetov

"The Adams' folk horror tale is full of stunning imagery, from practical effects involving a python to a Caesarean birth, a climatic one something akin to a magic act...if you think you know where everything is headed, guess again." #MotherofFlies #AdamsFamily

"excels in its depiction of falconry, Foy a natural with the birds, and the profound sense of loss caused by Helen's dad's sudden death, Brendan Gleeson creating a lovable eccentric, a man with no formal education but vast and varied interests" #HIsForHawk

"Albert Birney ("Strawberry Mansion") rewinds to 1987 to explore the roots of isolating computer culture within a delightfully retro technological adventure...invites us to reengage with life." #OBEX #AlbertBirney

"Kristen Stewart makes an audaciously impressive filmmaking debut... illustrating her protagonist's state of mind with fractured, impressionistic imagery which gradually settles into more linear storytelling as Lidia gains control over her life" #KristenStewart

"Now THIS is how you create a trilogy. Ralph Fiennes goes to places one might never have imagined this actor could go...The film's climax is absolutely breathtaking, a crescendo of character arcs all meeting within the Bone Temple." #28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple

"A musical about religious fervor in the 18th century may not be high on many people's list but those open to the idea will experience a unique biopic, faith itself choreographed led by Seyfried's committed performance and Fastvold's directorial precision"

"Ben Hania and her cast convey the cumulative stress that builds from their work done at the Palestinian Red Emergency Center and the overwhelming sense of grief when they lose someone, the Hind Rajab case horrific in so many ways." #TheVoiceOfHindRajab

"After a couple of forays into television, director Gus Van Sant returns to feature filmmaking after seven years with a script by newcomer Austin Kolodney based on a true story from almost fifty years ago that couldn't be more relevant today." #DeadMansWire

"This often humorous and ultimately moving look at familial disconnection features three different families, but all three stories are linked with skateboarders, drinking water, the phrase 'Bob's your uncle' and color coded clothing." #FatherMotherSisterBrother

"Arnett, asea separately, and Dern, energetic on her own, are just wonderful together, convincing of a long held partnership that could use some refreshing, each changing for the better having been given room to grow. Cooper is great comic relief..."
