"Sachs illustrates what two actors can do with material that flits from inside baseball to the banal and he's given them both the canvas and a frame to set them off." #PeterHujarsDay #IraSachs #BenWhishaw #RebeccaHall

"Skarsgård soars as the aging filmmaker trying to reconnect with his daughter, one he understands more than she had realized. The actor stops us dead in our tracks with his expression...seeing his own mortality in his friend." #SentimentalValue #JoachimTrier

"Gerchak and Guterman go for comedy with heart and while their film takes a while to find its feet, when they eventually get to the climactic 'Lost and Found' taping and its aftermath, the film is sweetly satisfying." #Lost&FoundInCleveland #JuneSquibb

"along comes a piece of cinema with so much soul it moves you to your very core...encompasses not only a period which saw vast changes in technology and the American landscape, but comes close to defining that elusive mystery of existence." #TrainDreams

"Writer/director James Vanderbilt reveals some of the lesser known aspects of the Nuremberg trials while pointedly highlighting historical lessons relevant to today...the film belongs to Crowe, who hasn't been this intriguing in a movie in some time" #Nuremberg

""Die My Love" seems to elude one's grasp, the filmmaker going all in on impressionistic visuals over practical human drama. Still, the film entices with its over the top passions and Lawrence's blow the house down performance." #DieMyLove #JenniferLawrence

"The animation here is distinctive, an unusual palette of salmons and peaches against unnatural greens and pinks used for us to view nature through the eyes of a toddler."

"After this year's "Echo Valley" Sweeney appears to be choosing parts that showcase her as a serious acting talent and she certainly disappears into this role as a scrappy underdog who fights her way to the top while enduring domestic violence at home #Christy

"Those who don't know the seven directors of the French New Wave or the movie "Breathless" may not find much to latch onto here...but for those who do, "Nouvelle Vague" is sheer delight, a breezy, playful look at Godard's process..." #NouvelleVague

Panahi's Palme d'Or winner - "a film about justice, revenge and accountability and the differing ways people move past trauma. It is also tinged with mystery, sadness and, surprisingly, humor and a little bit of joy..." #ItWasJustAnAccident #JafarPanahi

Director Richard Linklater sat on screenwriter Robert Kaplow's witty and moving script for ten years in order for Ethan Hawke to be the right age to play Hart and his gambit has resulted in his best work since 2014's "Boyhood." #BlueMoon #EthanHawke

Playing in select theaters today, on Netflix next Friday, "The Perfect Neighbor" is a devastating documentary about the Florida case of Susan Lorincz, a neighborhood nuisance who shot and killed her neighbor, Ajike "AJ" Shantrell Owens, the mother of four. Highly recommended.
