“More canned misanthropy from playwright Neil LaBute, who poisoned arthouse cinemas in the late 1990’s with toxic stunts like In The Company Of Men and Your Friends And Neighbors. LaBute’s schtick is all about men behaving badly, but there’s no sympathy for these devils. His work is just cut-rate Carnal Knowledge.” – Metro, 06/28/2013

“Full of wondrous musical moments and solo careers that almost—but didn’t quite—happen. Watching this movie feels like finally giving credit where it’s due. Morgan Neville’s jubilant film festival favorite brings the house down while paying tribute to a lost art. Just thrilling.” – Philadelphia Weekly, 06/26/2013

“Pouting across the picture in full bitch-goddess reign, Emma Watson tears into every exchange with a vigor that knocks Coppola’s anesthetized aesthetic clear off its axis. She seems to have strutted in from an Election-era Alexander Payne movie that I wished I could have been watching instead.” – Philadelphia Weekly, 06/19/2013

“Much Ado shovels mass quantities of iambic pentameter into the mouths of untrained third-string television actors, most of whom appear to have learned their lines phonetically. Not since Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet have I been so convinced that most of the cast had no idea what they were saying..” – The Improper Bostonian, 06/19/2013

“It comes as a great relief to report that Man of Steel is a genuine Superman movie. The desaturated palate and fidgety handheld camera are obvious concessions to the modern blockbuster era, but such tweaks are merely cosmetic. Directed by Zack Snyder, Man of Steel is first and foremost wonderfully sincere, defined by the decency of its main character.” – Philadelphia Weekly, 06/12/2013
