THE DEVIL'S CANDY ★★★½☆
Very well made horror, but actual story is not distinct enough. Not as viscerally satisfying as director's THE LOVED ONES.
THE MIND'S EYE ★☆☆☆☆
Bargain bin psychokinesis horror dross. Excruciatingly incompetent. SCANNERS/CHRONICLE this ain't.
ANOMALISA ★★★★½
Charlie Kaufman's melancholy stop motion take on loneliness and disillusionment. THE GLASS MENAGERIE meets BARTON FINK.
THE WHISPERING STAR ★★☆☆☆
Sion Sono's black & white experimental sci-fi, about a space parcel service, looks lush, but is lethargic and repetitive. Disappointing.
THE MISSING GIRL ★★★☆☆
An unusual mixture of sweet story and dread tone, past trauma and comic book backdrop. Needed another gear.
HARDCORE ★★★★☆
An insane first person p.o.v. action movie. Hilarious and dubious. Video game tropes and stylings.
