Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice Excerpt: Mesmerizing drama about a female college student struggling with sexual repression and wounds afflicted on her soul. Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Thelma doesn’t exactly tell a unique story, but Joachim Trier’s vision is so strong you’ll barely even notice. [New] | Federico Furzan @ El Otro Cine [Spanish] Excerpt: Carrie en el siglo XXI, o una definitiva exploración a la sexualidad. Poco importa. Thelma es una hermosa sinfonía de género. Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Jared […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com Excerpt: It took director Danny Boyle longer than he’d have liked, but I’m not sure the result could have been any better. If the first film showed the tragedy of addiction, poverty, and an angry generation devoid of hope for the future succumbing to it, the second shows the tragic cost that life and their numbness towards its wake wrought.

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Nguyen Le @ Next Best Picture Excerpt: … the pieces don’t ever come together to form a clear and sufficient whole. Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: George Clooney so obviously apes the Coen Brothers, his film has no personality of its own. Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog Kristy Puchko @ CBR.com Excerpt: a jarring combination that goes together as well as peanut butter and poison.

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: The Last Jedi is straight hyperspeed from start to finish. James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper Excerpt: the most interesting people are no longer related to Darth Vader Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe Excerpt: I can only wonder what The Last Jedi might have been with Finn and Poe taking a backseat […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Split will shock and awe unprepared audiences, like the girl next to me who was buried underneath her jacket for the film’s final 20 minutes. James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: Split’ showcases James McAvoy bouncing from personality to personality. Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe Excerpt: Shyamalan crafts a sort of anti-Village with […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Nguyen Le @ Film Threat Excerpt: … the path home is also the way forward. Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: I’m so glad we got a Spider-Man movie without the Uncle Ben origin story. Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe Excerpt: No single aspect overstays its welcome and all complement the others for an enjoyable symphony with the themes, role models, and surrogates necessary to make […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: David Bax @ Battleship Pretension Excerpt: It’s too lousy to even find itself interesting. Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: The Space Between Us is not without bright spots (celestial production design dazzles, Asa Butterfield’s niceties are refreshing in today’s day and age), but it’s ultimately more a slog than serendipitous romance. Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe Excerpt: Temper expectations and know what it is: a cloyingly sentimental look at our yearning for family. It’s Tween Escapism 101: no more, no less. Kristy Puchko […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ Dread Central Excerpt: Given pedigrees and collaborative parties, The Snowman will go down as 2017’s biggest whiff. James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture Nguyen Le @ InSession Film Excerpt: [The film] more obvious lesson is don’t make a movie while alcohol is in the system. Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge Kristy Puchko @ Riot Material Excerpt: But beyond the slaughtering of logic and the slapdash storytelling, there is a chilly lunacy that makes The Snowman not just confounding and frustrating, but also […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: David Bax @ Battleship Pretension Excerpt: It feels necessary and yet completely obvious to point out the xenophobia of Snatched. Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: While Snatched stars big names in Schumer and Hawn, the ones you’ll be remembering are Cusack, Meloni and Barinholtz. Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk Online Excerpt: Hollywood is always curious enough to visit a foreign country, but quick to vilify the locals, and make themselves out to be the white helpless victims. Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Darren […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews Excerpt: I look at The Shape of Water and I see a film that has been overpraised. Excellent production and strong performances get it to a good place, but this fish story did not excite me the same way it excited Elisa. David Bax @ Battleship Pretension Excerpt: The Shape of Water says that we can be beautiful both inside and out by accepting that we are at our best when we love each other for our differences. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ […]
