Epic (2013) |
"
Like traditional fairytales, Epic deals with dark stuff. But there is also a lot of cheap humour -- quips and slapstick -- that lightens the mood."

Mud (2013) |
"
The boys are so skillfully played that Mud also plays like cinema verite. Nichols' fluid camerawork suggests a documentary-style approach. That helps these young lads transform into flesh-and-blood characters who get our attention and support."

Upside Down (2013) |
"
There is little consistency. As a creator, you cannot tell us one thing and have characters do another without consequence. Upside Down is plagued with those problems, at least in small ways. It is frustrating for the viewer. "
