• TRUCKER

"... I truly love this film.  Michelle Monoghan gives what might be her best performance yet in this movie.  She captures perfectly the spirit of what it means to be free and the fierceness of someone being trapped and caged by their actions or past.  Her nuanced performance is truly remarkable ..."

• PRAY THE DEVIL BACK TO HELL

"... The film is co-produced by Abigail Disney, which gives me hope that this important and worthwhile documentary will reach a wider audience.  Virginia Reticker has been able to cull amazing archival footage from various news sources and combined it with some very powerful and emotional interviews from the women who stood up, sat down and changed the course of an entire nation ..."

• 57,000 KILOMETERS BETWEEN US

"... I was reminded of this comedic misstep in the opening scene when the family is on their way to visit Grandma. The second they’re out of the car, Dad’s taping. Ok, that’s pretty amusing. Mom’s got the composed exterior with the mess of stress just under the surface, contrasted by her teenage daughter’s blasé, snarky attitude. Two distinct ingredients that will surely add a kick to the recipe ..."

"... Every now & then a film comes along that you feel blessed to see. My Marlon & Brando is one of those films.  From the beginning of the film you understand that you are watching something special & different; something that would probably not be made in the US, because the story is not in our experience. It is the experience of someone else & it is a riveting tale ..."

• WAR, INC.

"... Strong performance from the always fantastic John Cusack, Marisa Tomei & Hilary Duff propel this film with one laugh after another. But it is the comedic genius of Joan Cusack that steals this film. And, yes, Ben Kingsley is dead on as a paraplegic megalomaniac ..."

• KASSIM THE DREAM

"... Patrick Wilson seems to be the “go to” guy for men, going through some mid-life crisis.  Normally he excels at capturing the trials and tribulations of this type of character.  Life In Flight doesn’t really seem to give him a lot to grab hold of ..."

• IDIOTS AND ANGELS

"...Bill Plympton’s eye-catching hand-drawn animation fleshes out a tale that hasn’t a line of dialogue- and doesn’t need it. Everything we need to know about an individual’s state of mind is effectively communicated through facial expressions and non-verbal utterances- but most importantly, through their movements ..."

PARAISO TRAVEL

".. Immediately, Simon Brand’s capacity for creating compelling imagery is evident- sharpened in no small part during his experience directing music videos. Another prominent aspect of the music video is how quickly the action begins, and for his first feature, Brand wastes no time dropping the audience into the world of the newly immigrated .."

A PRESIDENT TO REMEMBER

"... Though a well made documentary highlighting Kennedy’s presidential election all the way up to his assassination, A President To Remember does not add much to the existing cannon of JFK flicks. There was some interesting footage about the presidential debate with Nixon and his team..."

WORLD'S APART
