• [New - 5/16] | Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
  • Excerpt: Anecdotes roll absorbingly from the great raconteur, with plenty of self-deprecating humor, and Kleine knits together the different fabrics of the story with considerable skill.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: It’s a very short experience but one that hits its beats with a sense of urgency and a feeling of helplessness.
• [New - 5/23] | Glenn Lovell @ CinemaDope.com
  • Excerpt: … a feminist reworking of ‘Most Dangerous Game’ and ‘Deliverance,’ with the friends soon stripped down and armed, like a tribe of Amazonian huntresses … has the visceral appeal of early Kathryn Bigelow.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
  • Excerpt: A fetching dramady starring Julianne Moore as an enthusiastic and vulnerable middle-aged English teacher who turns a corner in her life and realizes she will never be the same again.
• R. Kurt Osenlund @ Slant Magazine
• [New - 5/23] | Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
  • Excerpt: Julianne Moore is terrific as a flawed heroine who deserves a happy ending in spite of herself.

  • Excerpt: more “Timid-with-a-little-bit-of-pluck.”
• [New - 5/23] | MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
  • Excerpt: Ironically, nothing feels organic here, and certainly nothing feels magical…
• [New - 5/24] | Peter Martin @ Twitch
• Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
  • Excerpt: The title might be slightly misleading.
• [New - 5/23] | R. Kurt Osenlund @ Slant Magazine
• [New - 5/24] | Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
  • Excerpt: It poises itself as an epic tale, towering above the audience, but it’s really just dry and immovable: A tired and sagging relic rooted in failed ideas of grandeur.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• [New - 5/24] | Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
  • Excerpt: Yes, Fast Five and Furious 6 are better than the series’ inaugural outings. But it’s a good long ways from that distinction to an actual endorsement.
• [New - 5/24] | Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
  • Excerpt: “Fast & Furious 6” simultaneously represents the best and the worst of big-budget Hollywood movies
• [New - 5/23] | Stephen Carty @ Flix Capacitor
• [New - 5/23] | Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: The series has been a cash cow for Universal and most of its cast, who rarely make appearances elsewhere (someone get Tyrese Gibson more screen roles!). The latest is fine popcorn fare, but the series needs stronger stories before it becomes fusty fast.
• [New - 5/24] | Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: [B]etter than almost every other entry in this series … so maybe I’m starting to warm up to its cartoon-like interpretation of the physical world.
• [New - 5/23] | Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk
• Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
  • Excerpt: High-Octane and outrageous, it’s filled with cars careening, catapulting, clattering and crashing – in massive vehicular carnage.
• Ali Gray @ TheShiznit.co.uk
• MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
  • Excerpt: A colossal affair swollen with the hubris and arrogance of men who trail the foul dust of mayhem in their wake.
• [New - 5/23] | Oktay Ege Kozak @ Oregon Herald
• [New - 5/24] | Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
• [New - 5/24] | Peter Martin @ Dallas Film Now
• Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
  • Excerpt: Not so fast!
• [New - 5/24] | Scott Nye @ Battleship Pretension
  • Excerpt: It’s not high drama – it’s barely high soap – but it is high pulp; so elemental, so free from pretense, that it plays, in its own way, with a sense of grace absent from more insistently grand blockbusters.
• [New - 5/23] | Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
  • Excerpt: Action movies don’t get more preposterous than the latest entry in the Fast & the Furious franchise, a go-for-broke cartoon spectacle that throws its characters around the screen like ragdolls with such force and frequency we can’t ever be sure if a character has perished or survived with nary a scratch.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• [New - 5/24] | Jason Bailey @ The Atlantic
  • Excerpt: This portrait of New York post-graduate ennui is sometimes warm, sometimes funny, and sometimes acidic, but it’s also surprisingly daring—because it makes the rather unorthodox suggestion that finding a nice fella is not the all-purpose solution to a young woman’s problems.
• [New - 5/24] | Chris Barsanti @ PopMatters
• Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
  • Excerpt: The comic misadventures of a quirky young woman who falls down seven times but gets up eight.
• [New - 5/23] | Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: …like an early Andrew Bujalski movie with more articulate characters or Lena Dunham’s ‘Girls’ without the ick factor. Gerwig has never been better, at ease wearing Frances’ awkward, socially challenged charm.
• [New - 5/24] | Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: If Frances has a chance, there’s hope for us all.
• [New - 5/23] | Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
  • Excerpt: Improbable yet engaging, this arrested development serio-comedy should be particularly appealing to those who can’t quite get their lives together.
• Carson Lund @ Are the Hills Going to March Off?
  • Excerpt: Frances Ha is a compassionate, complex drama about people trying to find footing in their own chaotic lives.
• [New - 5/24] | Peter Martin @ Dallas Film Now
• [New - 5/24] | Brent McKnight @ Beyond Hollywood
  • Excerpt: I don’t love ‘Frances Ha’ as much as everyone else.
• [New - 5/24] | Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
  • Excerpt: For anyone that has ever tried to plug a square peg into a round hole, or if you’ve ever been forced to grow up, Frances Ha is the film for you.
• [New - 5/24] | Andrew Wyatt @ Look/Listen (St. Louis Magazine)
  • Excerpt: Between Gerwig’s characteristically charming performance and Baumbach’s nimble cinematic storytelling, Frances Ha finds its footing as a wry, woebegone tale of arrested development.

• [New - 5/16] | Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
  • Excerpt: Filmmaker Jeff Lipsky (Flannel Pajamas) steers his story through intriguing waves of philosophical clarity and doldrums of talky boredom.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• [New - 5/24] | Brent McKnight @ Pop Matters
• Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
  • Excerpt: Like classic film noir, this is a film that’s less interested in crime than in slowly peeling away family secrets.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• [New - 5/16] | David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
  • Excerpt: As is usual for his work, Pieta is a somatic and visceral film that’s really about the human soul. Or, at least, the soul as defined by Kim Ki-duk.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• [New - 5/16] | Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
  • Excerpt: It’s not that I didn’t appreciate the set-up of “Aftershock.” It’s that the movie just goes too far with the misery porn angle.
