 The frustrating thing with The Jungle Book is how much it teases the audience into being an excellent film instead of the good but underwhelming flick it ends up being.

 There is an inherent promise of greatness in every dystopian/apocalyptic/classist tale, mostly because those kinds of stories have a knack of having great multi-dimensional characters.

Day two of our festival coverage included some throughly moving films and a few that made us scratch our heads. Check out our raw and unedited thoughts below!

Previews give you the impression that Jeff Nichols’ Midnight Special will take you on a gripping Spielberg-like adventure.
