NEWS FROM LOS ANGELES, BOSTON AND NEW YORK
Critics groups from L.A., Beantown and The Big Apple all weighed in on Sunday with their superlatives for the 2015 motion picture season. Of the three groups, the most notable is the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. The Boston Society of Film Critics and The New York Film Critics Online also passed judgement yesterday. I include their assessments here as well, thought they probably don't carry the same gravitas as the LAFCA (or the New York Film Critics Circle or the National Board of Review which named their "Best Of" earlier this week.
Here's how TFF #42 films fared for each critic's group.
