Arthur Christmas, Very Good Reviews
| |||||||||||
![]()
Arthur Christmas played to very good reviews. • MaryAnn Johanson wrote for Flick Filosopher, "...sometimes wicked, sometimes manic, often hysterical, always clever funny. And a whole lotta poignant, too.... Ho-ho-hooray." • And Nathan Rabin wrote for the AV Club, "...strikes just the right combination of naughty and nice, reverent and irrelevant, holiday-sweet and Aardman dry." 40 More Reviews... |

The Hunter (2012), Good (Not Great) Reviews Key Cities
| |||||||||||
![]()
The Hunter (2012) played in key cities to good not great reviews. • Jake Coyle wrote for the Associated Press, "...a sturdy, well-made thriller, the film never quite catches its prey.... The leanness of 'The Hunter,' both praiseworthy and preventing real satisfaction, cuts both ways." • And Michael O'Sullivan wrote in the Washington Post, "Dafoe carries off both extremes of Martin's character with aplomb and psychological depth." 23 More Reviews... |

Music from the Big House, Good (Not Great) Reviews (Doc) Limited
| |||||||||||
![]()
Music from the Big House played in limited release to good not great reviews. • Norman Wilner wrote in Toronto Now, "They're ragged and uneven, but they play with passion, and suddenly the idea of music as rehabilitation – or at least release – makes perfect sense. Who better to sing the blues?" • And John Anderson wrote in Daily Variety, "...torn between concert film and observational essay on incarceration." 7 More Reviews... |

| |||||||||||
![]()
God Bless America (2012) played in key cities to good not great reviews. • Ella Taylor wrote for NPR, "...there's an underlying sweetness and ethical urgency to Goldthwait's work... Frank is on a moral mission; like every knight he has a code of honor..." • And Owen Gleiberman wrote in Entertainment Weekly, "...like 'Falling Down' remade by MAD magazine." 28 More Reviews... |

Granito: How To Nail A Dictator, Fair Reviews (Doc) Limited
| |||||||||||
![]()
Granito: How To Nail A Dictator played in limited release to fair reviews. • Rene Rodriguez wrote in the Miami Herald, "...erratically paced, often static and dry, and occasionally dull. But the subject matter keeps you intrigued.... uneven but undeniably powerful..." • And Paul Brunick wrote in the New York Times, "...systematically avoids difficult issues... often feels in its certitude like an inversion of vintage neoconservatism." 7 More Reviews... |

Jesus Henry Christ, Fair Reviews Limited
| |||||||||||
![]()
Jesus Henry Christ played in limited release to fair reviews. • Andrew Lapin wrote for NPR, "...probes the ways in which adults label and use children... the dialogue is often broad and silly, and there's a frustrating incoherence to the whole thing." • And Linda Barnard wrote in the Toronto Star, "...it all seems a tad too quirky and twee... Everything is delivered with a knowing wink to the camera, a mocking tone..." 12 More Reviews... |
