Review of Violeta Went to Heaven (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Mar 2013

Review of The Host (2015)

By R. Kurt Osenlund (158) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Mar 2013

Review of Trance (2013)

By R. Kurt Osenlund (158) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 27 Mar 2013

Review of Welcome to the Punch (2013)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Mar 2013

The sheer wastefulness of Eran Creevy's Welcome to the Punch is off-putting enough, but the film is also falsely painted-up as a crime epic…

By Dennis Harvey (1,137) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Mar 2013

Review of Somebody Up There Likes Me (2013)

By Kenji Fujishima (277) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Mar 2013

Review of MURPH: The Protector (2013)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Mar 2013
