Eden

Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews

  • Excerpt: an ambitious effort, the chronicling of an era through a musical niche, but its scope and structure plunge story and character elements deep in the mix.

Infinitely Polar Bear

Kenji Fujishima @ Slant Magazine

The Overnight

David Bax @ Battleship Pretension

  • Excerpt: Eventually, The Overnight does have something to say about how we codify sex into orientations and preferences and about the moralities we concoct because of that. But then the movie reminds you that it all really comes down to Alex’s insecurity about having a small dick.

Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews

  • Excerpt: I haven’t laughed out loud so long and often at any comedy so far this year.

Back to the Jurassic

M Enois Duarte @ High-Def Digest.com

Big Game

Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz

  • Excerpt: Moore is one of the weakest U.S. Presidents ever to grace the big screen, getting driven around the Finnish wilderness and fed by a thirteen year-old boy, not knowing how to use a gun, taking punches without mustering up the strength to fight back, and finally, getting stuffed into an ice box and helicoptered through the forest. What a wimp!

Creep

Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews

  • Excerpt: Those who enjoyed his second [“The Overnight”], a comedy, will be surprised to see how much of it exists in his first, a found footage horror film. It’s as if Brice followed the same template in different genres and, remarkably, both work on their own merits.

The Face of an Angel

Chris Barsanti @ Film Journal International

  • Excerpt: A filmmaker hired to do a quick true-crime flick about a sordid Amanda Knox-like murder case prevaricates and ultimately gives up, much like the film itself, an unusually wan effort from Michael Winterbottom.

Madame Bovary

Nicholas Bell @ Ioncinema
Kristy Puchko @ Spinoff Online, Pajiba

  • Excerpt: a fine film. But just fine. How disappointing when it had the pieces to be so much more.

Maggie

Manglehorn

Chris Barsanti @ Film Journal International

  • Excerpt: Nearly the only good thing about this stultifying David Gordon Green piece about an old jerk played by Al Pacino is the gritty, poetic title, promising a depth that never materializes.

Mr. Holmes

Blake Howard @ Graffiti With Punctuation

Phoenix

Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer

  • Excerpt: Nina Hoss is the bauss. The ever-enigmatic German actress gives a powerhouse performance as Nelly, the fiercely seductive survivor of Christian Petzold’s post-war drama Phoenix.
