I could easily give a 2 word review, Cocaine Bear! But surprisingly there is much more to this move. Ray Liotta's final performance before passing away and the amazing,as always, Keri Russel ad cache to what could have been a cliche. So get the large popcorn and large beverage. Relax and enjoy the ride. Cocaine Bear!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

So mad at whomever chose these. 4 movies about abuse, 1 movie that laughs at a guy with Down Syndrome. Irish Goodbye has some very good parts, in spite of that, and should be expanded to a full-length. The Red Suitcase was brilliant and should also be expanded. But fuck Le Pupille. Just another reminder that Catholicism is child abuse, with no other characteristics.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed four out of the five short films. They were excellent. I didn't like the one about the girls in the orphanage.

Austin Chronicle

While it’s rare for every title in the Oscar-Nominated Live Action Shorts to be a home run, this year’s crop is oddly shrug-worthy for the most part.

Rated: 2.5/5

The pull of freedom, and defying what’s expected, marks this year’s live-action shorts.

Fans of sticky sentiment will be delighted with this bundle of live-action shorts, only two of which deserve note.

Arts Fuse

From allegory to metaphysical exploration to simply meta, or alternatively, displaying trenchant realism, the nominees for this year’s ceremony on March 12 are strong.
