Because of embargoes (those happy little restrictions on when critics can post reviews, good or bad), a lot of our critics aren’t able to share links with you until release day. Here are some last-minute reviews for this weekend’s upcoming films. We’ve kept in all the reviews posted yesterday as well so you can have more help in deciding what to see (if you haven’t already).
Our critics have been hard at work reviewing the latest films. Here is a look at what’s coming out this weekend (in select cities, check your local listings) and what else may be in theaters right now.

2012 Films Not Yet In Theaters
Chicken with Plums
Matthew Lucas @ From the Front Row
- Excerpt: Plays out like Amelie-lite.
Flamenco, Flamenco
Beth Accomando @ KPBS Cinema Junkie
- Excerpt: For “Flamenco, Flamenco” he kicks up the style and visual luster to deliver a film that is so vivid that it stands out in bold relief in ways digital 3D can never compete.
Like Someone in Love
Jesse Cataldo @ Slant Magazine
OMG Oh My God
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
What Richard Did
Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Jack Reynor’s central performance really is quite wonderful, and Abrahamson is a more than capable director, but What Richard Did feels like it suffers from a lack of what its lead has in abundance: ambition.
2011 Films
Sector 7
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
- Excerpt: I kept thinking how much this movie made me think of Howard Hawks, not only with his version of The Thing, but how Sector 7 might be appreciated as an updating of the “Hawksian woman”.
