Arthur Christmas
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)
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
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)
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
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
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...
