The Times of India
Reagan Gavin Rasquinha
A hugely impressive and entertaining story of arguably the most powerful character in the superhero pantheon (and also one of the biggest pop culture icons), it's clear that the Man of Steel is here to stay.

Won't be for everyone, and some people are going to absolutely loathe it, but it's a lovely artistic character exploration that is quite compelling when you're willing to go along for the ride.

The Safdie Brothers box well outside their weight class with this abrasive crime-thriller.

Chris O'Dowd is good, as always. I feel like he's the kind of guy who will always deliver if the material is there, in terms of both comedy and the drama.

Last Flag Flying
The Tracking Board
Edward Douglas
Last Flag Flying is a comedy with a lower case "c," so if you're expecting a lot of big laughs from this story about a man mourning the death of his son, you should probably adjust your expectations.
