LATEST REVIEWS

BLACK ROCK :

“..is unable to shock, much less convince..”
by Rob Nelson [Variety]

ERASED :

“..engaging and enjoyable thriller, enlivened by a sharp script, pacey direction, solid action sequences and strong performances..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]

THE ENGLISH TEACHER :

“..is an affable if familiar high-school comedy populated by bright pupils, badly behaved teachers and amateur theatricals..”
by Scott Foundas [Variety]

FRANCES HA :

“..an exhilarating black-and-white New York seriocomedy from Noah Baumbach with a stellar star turn by co-writer Greta Gerwig..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

JACKIE :

“..is a fun film ... designed for you to not think to hard about..”
by Trista Devries [Thetfs.ca]

WHITE FROG :

“..it's no less potent in its emotions, though, and in a more measured, deliberate manner..”
by Peter Martin [TwitchFilm]

HE'S WAY MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU :

“..the farce is so light on its feet that it's buoyant..”
by Sheri Linden [LA Times]

REVENGE FOR JOLLY! :

“..I suggest you pass and maybe grab it from Redbox or VOD or something..”

THE GREAT GATSBY :

“..a hugely elaborate, well-cast adaptation of an American classic that will provoke every possible reaction..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

PEEPLES :

“..Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
