YOGA HOSERS
“Eventually Depp and the Colleens wind up fighting an army of white supremacist, foot-long sausages dressed as Mounties and played by the director himself. These Brat-zis, as they’re called, kill people by climbing into their rectums. But Yoga Hosers makes it abundantly clear that the only rear end Kevin Smith has crawled up inside is his own.” – Metro, 08/30/2016
A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS
“Less common to discover in a first feature is a story that’s been thought out in terms of images instead of just words. Natalie Portman’s directorial debut is not always a successful movie but it’s a movie through and through. She makes bold visual choices and sticks to a personal, if at times trying, aesthetic strategy. She’s a real filmmaker.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 08/26/2016
BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE
“The production is hyper-sexualized in an incredibly creepy way, with leering butt-shots of countless cartoon hookers and lingering, appreciative views of Barbara in her underwear. These adolescent power fantasies have grown toxic, and their treatment of women reveals a pathological, deep-seated fear and loathing on the part of fans and creators.” – North Shore Movies, 08/19/2016
