Andrew Wyatt The Take-Up We've seen this story before, but Hleb Papou's take on the "riot police vs. low-income housing block" drama proves to be a solid, character-centered tale of dual loyalties, studded with well-observed cultural specifics. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills This short, sharply drawn narrative packs a punch, neither demonizing or soft-pedaling the flaws of fallible characters on all sides. Feb 26, 2024 Full Review Marie Asner Phantom Tollbooth The two actors, Maurizio Bousso and Germano Gentile play off each other well. Rated: 3/5 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee The plot builds to a somewhat empty anticlimax, but the larger context remains fascinating. Rated: B Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Tim Brennan About Boulder It’s hard to be nuanced, and movies are no exception. I value The Legionnaire, as it works hard to show people with different perspectives responding to an impossible situation. It’s a well made movie that flirts with greatness Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl The Legionnaire is not a straight social realist or crime drama but more of a cinematic prose poem composed of realistic segments interspersed with more impressionistic sequences.
