Never take your mistress on an annual guys' getaway, especially one devoted to hunting
- a violent lesson for three wealthy married men.
This was the last film I saw at The Overlook Film Festival, and they clearly saved the best for last. My absolute favorite of the fest. Lean, mean, grotesque and over the top, but somehow very controlled in its storytelling at the same time. The cinematography is fantastic, the performances far better than you'd expect from this sort of film. Only recommended for those with a strong stomach, an incredibly strong effort from a first time director.French

A headstrong young girl in Afghanistan disguises herself as a boy in order to provide for her family.
From the creators of The Secret of Kells & Song of the Sea comes an unexpectedly bleak, depressing & powerfully evocative story that's crafted with the same passion, devotion & intimacy as their previous efforts, and paints a dark, disturbing & daring portrait of life under the regime of terror. Arresting, enchanting & thoroughly captivating, The Breadwinner is another winning feature from Cartoon Saloon that not only establishes them as a strong creative force but also catapults them into the same league as Pixar, Laika & Studio Ghibli....Yawn
Score: 4/10

Careful more than one movie has this same title.
Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years and only in that forest. Together the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds and far away to Endor College - a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school, and, when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try to set things right. Based on Mary Stewart's 1971 classic children's book "The Little Broomstick", "Mary and The Witch's Flower" is an action-packed film full of jaw-dropping imaginative worlds, ingenious characters, and the stirring, heartfelt story of a young girl trying to find a place in the world. Not Boring at all Jim..lol
