By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Zach Clark
Starring: Anna Margaret Hollyman | Joe Swanberg | Laura Lemar-Goldsborough | Lydia Hyslop | Nathan Williams

Jason says: “It would be kind of amusing if, in the future, WHITE REINDEER winds up dropped into the Christmas rotation of independent-minded theaters, television stations, and online-streaming-lists as an apparent poison pill. Not that there aren’t already plenty of

Rating: 4 cats
Director: Pablo Trapero
Starring: Jérémie Renier | Martina Gusman | Ricardo Darín

When Times Becomes a Woman (2013)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3 cats
Director: Ahmad Alyaseer
Starring: Najwan Baqaeen | Zaid Baqaeen

We Are What We Are (2013)

Jason says: “WE ARE WHAT WE ARE makes a heck of a case for the much-maligned idea of remaking a foreign film in English. Though the original Mexican version was much-beloved by many (I thought it had a great opening

Wasteland (2013)

Jason says: “What, exactly, is the difference be ween a crime movie and a caper movie? Scale? The intricacy of the plan? Do the characters being a notch more charming or less working-class change the classification? Or is this just

The Way Way Back (2013)

Thom says: “This new dysfunctional family-on-vacation coming-of-age dramedy is a first time effort from the directors who won the 2012 Oscar for adapted screenplay for THE DESCENDANTS along with Alexander Payne. It’s a decent first effort that is nicely character-driven
