Critic consensus:Well-acted and steeped in Southern atmosphere, Mississippi Grind is a road movie and addiction drama that transcends each of its well-worn genres.

Numbered reviews:1. It's as if the Scarecrow and the Tin Man got lost and wandered down the Mississippi River, drinking and gambling and stumbling into and out of various troubles, not worrying about their brains or their hearts, just wishing for a little bit of luck.
2. The combination of Reynolds and Mendelsohn makes this a sure bet...
3. Boden and Fleck understand that these two characters feed off of each other's personalities, while fueling the addiction that unifies them.
4. I've never hated one of their movies. They don't elicit that kind of emotion.
5. Edging close to greatness, this is a very good -- albeit rather sad -- character study about friendship, addiction and the hope for redemption -- or the next closest thing.
6. A captivating, contemporary, sometimes comic spin on the antebellum allure of a downriver gambling odyssey - soaking in the sights of the trip and soaring on unexpectedly excellent juju of the odd-couple casting for the two low-rollers at its center.
7. The actors flaunt craft, the script lays on the folksiness with a trowel, and scenes of local color seem to come straight from a guidebook.
8. A two-handed portrait of addiction, desperation and regret that both narratively and stylistically harks back to the gritty character plays of the 1960s and early 1970s.
9. it should allow audiences to see a different side of Mendelsohn, and fully appreciate how effective Reynolds can be in the right role
10. Mississippi Grind is a filmed series of lies, bad choices, and shaky attempts to get paid, all told through the texture, the soundtrack choices, and interesting casting.


Critic consensus:Catfish may tread the line between real-life drama and crass exploitation a little too unsteadily for some viewers' tastes, but its timely premise and tightly wound mystery make for a gripping documentary.

Numbered reviews:1. Unbelievable filmmaking.
2. You have to see this new film called Catfish. Only problem is, I can't tell you why. Which, admittedly, makes this review useless.
3. Just as you think you're heading towards thriller territory, with street-smart New Yorkers confronting Midwestern loons, the film mutates into a study of benevolence, understanding and forgiveness.
4. Although marketed as some sort of cyber thriller, this is far closer in tone to the sublime doc Capturing The Friedmans by Andrew Jarecki, who just happens to be one of the producers.
5. The real draw of the film is obviously based around the revelations at Abby's farm; but I don't want to spoil the surprise, so just go and watch this film.
6. Catfish will leave you with plenty of nagging questions, but whatever the truth behind the story, this is an extraordinary, provocative film and one that grips like a vice right up to the troubling and moving finale.
7. Starts as a documentary about an offbeat online relationship before warping into something much more interesting.
8. A compulsive, propulsive study of relationships virtual and real.
9. A deftly clever commentary on the nature of identity and how it defines our role in society.
10. Filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost, as well as 'star' Nev Schulman, insist the film is a real documentary, I'm only about 50 percent sold on this claim.


Critic consensus:Dummy is a sweet family comedy that succeeds due to charming performances, even if the final product feels slightly undercooked.

Numbered reviews:
1. An ultimate crowd-pleaser.
2. It's no surprise that Brody, Douglas, Walter and Leibman make for one highly entertaining, if messed up, family unit, but the big revelation here is Jovovich.
3. Has many of the qualities comedy movie fans have been missing in cinema today: charm, wit, romance and winning performances across the board.
4. Pritikin ... serves up the sort of shrill 'satire' of middle-class Jewish vulgarity in which the mere mention of words like 'brisket' and 'klezmer' is automatically presumed to be hilarious.
5. 'Some people can say a lot without moving their lips' is the perfect tagline for this delightful comedy.
6. Walter and Douglas stand out in particular.
7. na№ve sincerity gives Dummy a strong tenderness, one completely anchored by Brody's daring and dedicated performance.
8. Trazendo зtimas atuaушes de Farmiga, Jovovich (no melhor desempenho de sua carreira) e especialmente de Adrien Brody, o filme diverte e encanta, sendo sempre surpreendente.
9. Yes, I'm sounding like Joel Siegel here, but I simply loved this film. It's quite honestly a great time from end to end. I honestly can't think of a negative in the entire thing, and my therapist will tell you I'm a pretty negative guy.
10. This is a great date movie - it's funny, sweet, and just the right amount of zaniness to keep it from being too sappy.
