A War
David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: With its moral dilemma of a fulcrum and its motif of a marriage tested by the duty and distance of a soldiering husband, Tobias Lindholm’s A War bears all the markings of a topical, made-for-television melodrama. Yet with his lean, deliberate narrative and aesthetic choices, Lindholm has stripped the story down to its most powerful essence.
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Without judgement, we’re shown how rules of engagement, both followed and broken, can lead to the loss of innocent lives.

Bad Hurt
Jennie Kermode @ Eye For Film
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: It’s a heartbreaking trajectory containing very affecting scenes. Some of the particulars pile on more taboos than maybe one film should carry–see Kent’s demons–but everything that occurs does so in order for the cast to earn their salaries.

Nina Forever
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat

Prince
Rabid Dogs
- Excerpt: What this French redo of Mario Bava’s 1974 heist thriller lacks in plot it more than makes up for in flashy camerawork, energy … Hitchcock would have cued us to the twist ending earlier.
Racing Extinction
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A horror flick about the blundering of humanity on a scale so enormous that global warming is only a small part of it. But its monster is not unconquerable.

Nichts passiert
Alan Mattli @ Maximum Cinema [German]
- Excerpt: Thematically, there is an atmosphere of departure that’s refreshing to see in Swiss cinema. In terms of how it’s executed, however, ‘Nichts passiert’ checks the all too familiar boxes of Swiss mediocrity.
Reverso
Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
These Daughters of Mine
This Is Bossa Nova
Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
- Excerpt: [VIDEO ESSAY] The pure delight of hearing Bossa Nova played on nylon-stringed guitars by veteran masters of the music, is more than sufficient reason to learn about this relatively young music’s vibrant history.
