HEMINGWAY & GELLHORN :

“..such moments feel like empty gestures when stacked up against a barrage of biopic cliches..”
by A.A. Dowd [Time Out Chicago]

COWGIRLS N' ANGELS :

“..the characters were picked perfectly, and were just so relatable..”
by OrangeHeroMama [Home of OHM]

THE INTOUCHABLES :

“..it's hard to muster much enthusiasm for a movie that leans so heavily on regressive culture-clash shtick and unimaginative stereotypes..”
by Jon Frosch [The Atlantic]

CHERNOBYL DIARIES :

“..the acting is what you’d expect-on the level of what you’ll find in any crummy horror movie shown on the SyFy network..”
by Frank Swietek [One Guy's Opinion]

MEN IN BLACK 3 :

“..sparing a few jokes and nifty set pieces..”
by John Semley [Slant Magazine]

MIGHTY FINE :

“..the mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy..”
by Nick Schager [Village Voice]

MOONRISE KINGDOM :

“..this meticulous and convincing detail does not add up to realism but - depending on your perspective - to something either much less or much more than that..”
by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]

BATTLESHIP :

“..too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism..”
by Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail]

HYSTERIA :

“..for all of its sexual posturing and potential to be truly saucy and unconventional, Tanya Wexler's "Hysteria" is inoffensively pleasant..”
by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]

RUST & BONE :

“..though unabashedly melodramatic, "Rust and Bone" resists many of the pretty comforts of the genre..”
by Peter Debruge [Variety]
