The members of the Boston Society of Film Critics are limbering up for today’s big vote! Follow along here all day as we announce our winners!

As we approach critics’ voting season, remembering last year’s @bsfc.bsky.social meeting when I got roasted on Awards Reddit.

At Joyce’s Choices, Joyce Kulhawik has deemed WICKED “wicked good!”

At Sarah G. Vincent Views, @vincenssg.bsky.social enjoyed the “melodramatic ridiculousness” of GLADIATOR II.

For Boston Movie News, @vincensg.bsky.social reviewed Lucy Lawless’ new documentary NEVER LOOK AWAY.

Dana Barbuto reviewed WICKED for Boston Movie News, praising the film’s performances despite it being only half the story.

For Reeling Reviews, @laurareeling.bsky.social gave DAYTIME REVOLUTION a B+. “For one week during February in 1972, TV talk show host Mike Douglas did something bold - he invited John Lennon and Yoko Ono to not only cohost his show, but to set their own agenda for his audience of 40 million viewers”

For Boston Movie News, @filmcriticjames7.bsky.social calls GLADIATOR II “a good, old-fashioned, sword-and-sandal movie.”

For @cambridgeday.bsky.social, @theoscargoff.bsky.social rounded up the week’s rep screenings, including PARIS TEXAS, SANS SOLEIL, and CASABLANCA.

For @bostonhassle.bsky.social, @annahoang.bsky.social reviewed the harrowing BLACK BOX DIARIES. https://buff.ly/3V4hYUC

For Reeling Reviews, @laurareeling.bsky.social gave WICKED an A-. “Erivo [is] soulful, her Elphaba past caring what other people think, Grande's obnoxious self absorption tempered with a genuine desire to be helpful, one the actress paints with Glinda's need for admiration.”

For @cambridgeday.bsky.social, Tom Meek gave GLADIATOR II 2.5 stars: “It’s not on par with its 2000 predecessor, but the script by David Scarpa… does connect the dots smartly with blood and purpose.”

At @CambridgeDay.bsky.social, @TheOscarGoff.bsky.social drummed up the 90s

At Reeling Reiews, Laura Clifford gave A Real Pain an A- "Eisenberg's film cuts both ways, as an often very funny comedy as well as a gut punch of self realization and the attendant (and ironic) self absorption which blinds us to the pain of others."
