Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer 02/09/2012
3/4
Where feature films conform to the three-act structure of drama, movie short subjects are more like short stories. Go to Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe 02/09/2012
2.5/4
Peter McDonald's "Pentecost'' is the standout here... Go to Full Review David Fear Time Out 02/07/2012

All but the most ardent 'toon fans are advised to skip the Animated program, which this year traffics in nothing but Pixarish whimsy . Go to Full Review Annlee Ellingson Paste Magazine 02/26/2012
2012's slate of Oscar-nominated live-action shorts are a diverse lot that uniformly focuses limited screen time on character. There's not a disingenuous moment in the bunch. Go to Full Review Gerald Peary Boston Phoenix 02/07/2012

The Oscar nominees for Live Action Shorts come down to five conventional narratives. Go to Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) 03/04/2011
2.5/4
The keeper of the bunch was the delightfully daffy "God of Love," in which a lovesick lounge singer (Luke Matheny, who wrote and directed) finds himself in possession of magical darts that make the victim fall in love for six hours. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jim T 02/10/2014 Diverse and interesting. A new experience for me. Difficult to choose. See more Nima S 02/17/2013 Movie from Afghanistan See more David L 02/17/2013 One decent movie...the rest just sucked See more Harry D 02/11/2013 None of them were really good. See more JP F 02/09/2013 The first three were really good! See more Jon A 02/04/2013 Always enjoy watching these. I missed last years though. This years batch has one pretty weak entry, (the 4th one about the kids in Afghanistan). But all the others are worth watching. My favorite was the last one, Asad. See more Read all reviews
