VOD Releases: Are Audiences Feeling Friendly?

July 22nd, 2020

Fisherman’s Friends

Most of the major new releases on VOD are earning positive reviews this week. Of these, The Whistlers is the critical darling, but Fisherman’s Friends could find a larger audience. There’s also some strength in depth among the independent films and shows coming to a platform near you. More...

Will These Limited and Virtual Releases have Audiences in the Palm of Their Hands?
