  1. Do not, under any circumstance, approach this film lightly. Prepare to be depressed, agitated and shocked. And prepare to see a brilliant work of cinematic art.

    It's good then that From Other Worlds doesn't strive for masses of people either looking at the alien spaceships before their demises or working to understand the communications being sent to them. Sometimes it's enough to just have two people there to meet them. Two people are enough for the entire world and that's what makes this a novel experience.
  2. Everyone loves a good underdog story, and Bank of Dave fits that mold, despite needing to be tighter.

    How to Please a Woman is not the usual romantic comedy that everyone expects to see these days. It is trying to connect with a specific audience, and I think it is successful in doing so.
  3. You aren't likely to see a film with more warmth and good humor anytime soon or one that does more to give feel good filmmaking a good name.
  4. The picture is a wonderful example of social horror, fear of strangers who are not what they seem, worth a look for the production values well used, and the committed actors.

    Though it has a tendency to leave characters undeveloped and storylines empty, the overall portrait is significant.
  5. The movie is a heart-on-the-sleeve, old-fashioned action-adventure thriller. This Balloon may not exactly soar, but it’ll give you a satisfyingly stirring ride.
  6. Whether one disagrees or agrees with Seyran Ateş: Sex, Revolution and Islam, the courage on display is undeniable.
  7. Ultimately a rewarding -- if weird -- experience. It's just too bad that it takes so long to get there.

    While there were no surprises, this is still a fun ride to take.
  8. The Almond and the Seahorse is filled with sadness and pain, but there are moments of sunlight and happiness, which is ultimately the most anyone can ask for in this life.

    Much of the film rests on the shoulders of Conrad Pla who plays Raymond Pope. He is the focus of the movie and proves himself an excellent leading man.

    Max von Sydow is flawless as Ming, playing him with the perfect blend of malevolence and evil glee.

    Tom Mercier’s performance is brilliant and engaging.
  9. This movie best exploits the strengths of the show as well, such as the chemistry among the cast.
  10. A dark comedy whose story is propelled by shock but sustained by issues of love and forgiveness.

    I was hoping to be blown away, but was left feeling much like the iPerson in the "Machine Love" segment -- kind of cold.
  11. Prison films are an underrated genre, and Pino’s film is a more than worthy addition to the great family of films that take place behind bars.

    While the narrative and the characters are derivations of several aspirations, this still feels original and new. It’s a fun watch; the only hope is that Mukerji and the team will make a cleverer and more rational entry the next time out.
  12. As it stands Changing Lanes already exceeds expectations, provoking serious thought while skillfully telling a compelling, character-driven story.
  13. A Gentle Creature is an arduous watch indeed and will leave you a certain nausea that takes a while to go away. However, its mysterious ways, bolstered with a bit of psychedelic surrealism, makes it notable.
  14. Despite being a little cliché, Ping Pong is a hell of a lot of fun.

    Diving into Sam Harris’ life was fun, and you will have fun too… unless you hate musicals.
  15. H20: The Intelligence of Water gives us a multi-angle exposé that illuminates with regard not only to the complexities of water on a surface level but also a scientific, technological, metaphysical, and even spiritual perspective, as water has long been poetically known as the blood of nature.

    What makes it enjoyable is that it’s a relatively grounded action film…relatively.
  16. Managing expectations is key to enjoying what, at its core, is a heartfelt journey of finding real connection in a fake world. Relax and enjoy how Maureen gets her groove back.

    This movie is all over the place. One giant discombobulated stoner trip that goes from one obscure adventure to another. And you know what? It is quite a fun, odd journey.
  17. Akin to a bus that provides temporary shelter from the cold, Drunk Bus is cozy and familiar, but 100 minutes proves to be just enough. I was ready to pull the cord towards the end of this fun, somewhat bumpy ride.
  18. Whether you’ll have a blast with this beat has nothing to do with your affinity for metal music and everything to do with your tolerance for “heart-on-the-sleeve” independent filmmaking.
