(T)ERROR (2015)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.25 cats
Director: David Felix Sutcliffe | Lyric R. Cabral

Jason says: “I suspect that many watching (T)ERROR, even with plentiful assurances to the contrary, will be expecting that, by the end, a curtain will be pulled back to reveal the film as fictitious, heavy on re-enactments, or some other

Tevar (2015)

Jason says: “There is a lot of bloat in TEVAR, a 157-minute Bollywood ‘thriller’ that could be remade as a direct-to-video action flick roughly half that length without particularly suffering for the revision. It’s all well and good to have

Rating: 2.75
Director: Yi Li
Starring: Chong Wang | Joma | Yalayam

Jason says: “Director Yi Li and his crew worked for seven years on TEANA: 10000 YEARS LATER, and its looking kind of rough in spots goes to show how crazy the resources Hollywood has at its disposal are and how

Tazza: The Hidden Card (2014)

Jason says: “I appear to have really liked the first TAZZA movie (alternately called WAR OF FLOWERS and TAZZA: THE HIGH ROLLERS) when it played this festival eight years ago, although I don’t remember it well enough to remember whether

Tangerine (2015)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Sean Baker
Starring: James Ransone | Karren Karagulian | Kitana Kiki Rodriguez | Mickey O’Hagan | Mya Taylor

Jason says: “One almost wants TANGERINE to get through its entire length without any sort of real consequences, because the movie Sean Baker has built moves forward with such great chaotic energy that actually slowing down enough for someone to

Tangerines (2015)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 5 cats
Director: Zaza Urushadze
Starring: Elmo Nüganen | Giorgi Nakashidze | Lembit Ulfsak | Misha Meskhi | Raivo Trass.

Kyle says: “TANGERINES is set in a rural village in Abkhazia, which considers itself independent, and which Georgia considers part of its territory. The collapse of the U.S.S.R. in 1991 resulted in dozens of local conflicts, and this one is

Starring: Deepika Padukone | Ishtiyak Khan | Javed Sheikh | Piyush Mishra | Ranbir Kapoor

Jason says: “It had been a while since I last saw a big Bollywood romantic comedy with singing, dancing, and a little bit of everything, and after seeing TAMASHA…well, it’s still been a while since I’ve seen that sort of

Tales of Halloween (2015)

Jason says: “It may seem like splitting hairs, but this anthology from eleven noteworthy filmmakers working in the horror genre is much more a ‘Halloween’ movie than ‘horror’, if you get the distinction: It, like the holiday, is more about

The Taking (2015)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.75 cats
Director: Dominic Brunt
Starring: Adam Fogerty | Joanne Mitchell | Jonathan Slinger | Rula Lenska | Victoria Smurfit

Jason says: “There are movies that offer stronger lessons on why a film should not have a flash-forward to nearly the end unless there’s a really clever twist to be revealed than THE TAKING, as indicated by the fact that

Tag (2016)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Sion Sono
Starring: Erina Mano | Mariko Shinoda | Reina Triendl | Yuki Sakurai

Jason says: “TAG is the most recent of three films at the festival by Sion Sono, who is having an absurdly productive year (four films total released in 2015!), and there are points where it seems like this frantic pace
