	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer is interesting enough to suggest it might be worth watching. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Gripping Mexican border drama won the Gotham Award for Best International Feature. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The story of a Mexican woman trying to find her son who illegally crossed the border should make for a compelling picture, though the trailer was not quite as gripping as I would have hoped for.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It feels unique, but also familiar. I’m not sure what to expect with this one. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Mexican-Texas border drama looks compelling. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Again, the drama should be compelling, but the trailer falls flat and feels sort of silly and meaningless instead of drawing one in.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer does a poor job setting the right expectations for the audience, yet there might just be something here worth watching. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Hungary’s submission for this year’s Best International Feature looks like an interesting film noir. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Reviews are good and they mention “Hitchcockian” and “menacing,” yet the trailer is so restrained that it works up no tension. I sort of felt like I was watching a trailer for a different movie.

Psycho Goreman (Limited Release) See the original CinemaSight Trailer & Poster Preview	2.0 Wesley Lovell: (1) Thomas LaTourrette: (5)	Nil Wesley Lovell: (Nil) Peter J. Patrick: (Nil) Thomas LaTourrette: (Nil)	Categories: None
	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like a dull, if serviceable cheesy sci-fi/horror comedy. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Cheap looking horror film appears to be a total waste of time. Thomas LaTourette (TL): It tries to be clever, but the writing and effects make this a mediocre entry into the humorous sci-fi category.
