Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"There’s a very 1980s vibe to the middle passage, especially once the director cranks up Jeff Grace’s mood music....Entertaining..." - 05/22/2014 A.V. Club


"Between EASTBOUND & DOWN, DJANGO UNCHAINED, and now COLD IN JULY, Johnson has a nice little streak going of turning seemingly disposable characters into indelible scene-stealing rascals. -- Grade: B - 05/29/2014 Entertainment Weekly


3 stars out of 4 -- "Channeling John Carpenter and David Cronenberg, director Jim Mickle expertly builds nerve-shattering tension into COLD IN JULY." - 05/22/2014 Rolling Stone


"[A] taut, seductive thriller....Sam Shepard plays the grizzled father, Russel, with a malevolence that's all the more chilling for its bizarre detachment..." - 05/22/2014 Wall Street Journal


"The pulpy neo-noir COLD IN JULY should propel the filmmaking team of Jim Mickle and Nick Damici further up the blood-spattered, zombie-infested hierarchy of B-movie auteurs with Hollywood ambitions." - 05/22/2014 New York Times


3 stars out of 4 -- "Adapted from Joe R. Lansdale’s novel...COLD is Greek tragedy with a twang." - 05/22/2014 Washington Post


3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]e get reliably twinkly performances from old pros Shepard and Johnson, Jeff Grace’s lovely synthy score, an explosive climax, and the feeling that we never know what’s going to happen next…" - 06/23/2015 Total Film


4 stars out of 5 -- "A character-driven thriller with more twists than an off-the-map dirt road…[and] awards-quality performances from the three leads…" - 06/27/2015 Empire


"Shepard and Johnson's flawless rhythm allows the two men to move between chest-thumping displays of masculinity and petty bickering…" - 07/01/2014 Sight and Sound
