“a tense, darkly comic and surprisingly esoteric revenge tale in the tradition of the coen brothers’ blood Simple, the new movie displays jeremy Saulnier’s serious capacity for complex genre cinema.” INDIeWIRe

“rarely has the relationship between vulnerability and blind violence been this intelligently constructed, producing so much intensity within humor that reaches almost to the point of burlesque,

while also succeeding entirely as a pure thriller...” lIbeRaTION

“The backwoods-gothic terrain may be familiar, but the jolts are doled out with an expert hand in ‘blue ruin,’ a lean and suspenseful genre piece.” vaRIeTY

“if the Directors Fortnight is intent on championing superior genre fare then they have found an ideal candidate in blue ruin.” sCReeN

“besides the fact that i doubt we’ll see a more deft, thrilling genre film this year, i’m very pleased that jeremy Saulnier’s blue ruin addresses a number of issues that revenge films have been overlooking for decades.” TWITCH

“The Past confirms Farhadi as a superb director of actors, drawing a strong performance from The artist’s berenice bejo. The Prophet’s Tahar rahim and iranian actor-director ali Mosaffa are equally impressive, as are the three child actors.”sCReeN

“The Past plays like a low-key adagio in the hands of a masterful pianist, who knows how to give every note its just nuance and how every single phrase affects all the rest.” THe HOllYWOOD RePORTeR

“a fascinating film from the beggining to the end, as exciting as the best thrillers. The actors are wonderful.” le NOUvel ObseRvaTeUR

“brimming with love, humor and heartbreak (...) Debuting helmer anthony chen is remarkably astute in his depiction of the class and racial tensions.” vaRIeTY

“a small gem about how families learn to persevere during the toughest of times. The film could enjoy worldwide theatrical attention when one considers that, although the movie is set in Singapore, the issues at play are universal.” sCReeN

“an impressive family drama that bypasses the usual Singaporean auteurist tics of arch dialogue and fabricated anomie in favour of well-drawn.” FIlMbIZ asIa

”economical in means and in effects, ilo ilo is a film that recounts with infinite justice a family crisis amid a social crisis.” le MONDe

Grace is a 20-something supervisor at Short Term 12, a foster-care facility for at-risk teenagers. She is passionate about her work and takes great care of the kids, though she struggles with her own troubled past.  When Jayden, a gifted, restless, teenager arrives at the facility, Grace finds herself no longer able to ignore the difficulties of her own childhood — and it puts the delicate balance of her life and work at risk. She must find her way through a crisis that both pushes her to the edge and allows her to discover unexpected glimmers of humor and hope.
