2.5/4	"Nothing extraordinary happens, and [director] Aradjis relies on Wood and Donowho to carry the slight thread of a film." Posted May 16, 2008	The Favor (2008)	39%
3/4	"... a sharply drawn coming-of-age comedy-drama..." Posted May 15, 2008	The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2008)	85%
2.5/4	"A messy brew, sometimes manipulative, with no real conclusions, as Lior, though highly functional, cannot explain his deep sense of religion and those around him are too supportive to question." Posted May 1, 2008	Praying with Lior (2008)	74%
3/4	"The filmmakers emphasize the disparate personalities of the trainers, who can taste victory with every stride of the beautiful animals with whom they work, groom and feed." Posted Apr 25, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	72%
3/4	"The characters, situations and resolutions all are predictable and fit like a warm, stretched-out sweater with holes in the elbows." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Bonneville (2006)	42%
2/4	"Some individual moments hit home, but the cumulative effect doesn't add up to anything more than a peek at Tibetan culture." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Daughters of Wisdom (2007)	80%
2.5/4	"It's a tale that many immigrant families around the world could tell, but probably without as much documentation." Posted Apr 4, 2008	I for India (2007)	100%
3/4	"The Memory Thief, the first narrative feature by Gil Kofman, grants intimate entrance into a needy person's life -- a life bent around the facts of the darkest hours of the 20th century." Posted Mar 28, 2008	The Memory Thief (2008)	77%
2.5/4	"It's a routine treatment of a heist too outrageous to be believed, even if it is based on a true story." Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	78%
3/4	"Loopy, goofy and endearing." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	68%
2.5/4	"A subtle, slow-moving presentation of hope and responsibility that will test your patience if you are not a fan of elliptical, dreamlike narratives like those in Tsai's films." Posted Nov 29, 2007	I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)	88%
3/4	"The movie's serious, wide-ranging look at a divisive subject is not guaranteed to settle disputes, only to prompt discussion." Posted Nov 29, 2007	For the Bible Tells Me So (2007)	98%
2/4	"The bulk of the movie rings false." Posted Nov 1, 2007	Reservation Road (2007)	37%
3.5/4	"This Is England grabs you by the scruff of the neck and yanks you into the Thatcher 1980s with brute force." Posted Sep 27, 2007	This Is England (2007)	93%
2.5/4	"All in all, Delpy has a good time mocking national identities and gender issues, but she doesn't make a case for Marion and Jack to stay together. If she doesn't care about them as a couple, why should we?" Posted Sep 14, 2007	2 Days In Paris (2007)	87%
3/4	"If you suspend your disbelief, you will be rewarded with fine performances and a feel-good message that isn't cloying or sentimental." Posted Aug 2, 2007	Vitus (2007)	64%
3/4	"A gentle Italian comedy from 1962 that takes a sobering, chilling turn that would make Michael Corleone proud." Posted Jul 12, 2007	Mafioso (1962)	96%
3/4	"The standard stuff of B-movies comes to life under Kon's playful imagination." Posted Jun 21, 2007	Paprika (2007)	82%
2.5/4	"[Director] Gr�ning creates a trance-like rhythm of visual and aural patterns, ranging from the repetition of duties and behaviors to biblical quotations." Posted Jun 21, 2007	Into Great Silence (2007)	89%
3/4	"*Stands apart for its passion and patriotism in the face of hostility. The spirit of libert�, �galit�* and fraternit� runs high for everyone, even those who have never set foot in France.*" Posted Mar 23, 2007*	Days of Glory (2006)	82%
3/4	"This is a difficult, disturbing story, with harsh, desperate conditions delicately balanced by one boy's undeniable sense of hope." Posted Mar 16, 2007	The Italian (2007)	91%
2/4	"Writer-director Leslie McCleave offers no explanation beyond juxtaposing sour lake beds and radioactive vats with the tension between the former lovers. The environment, with upstate New York standing in for Ontario, rarely looks this distasteful." Posted Mar 16, 2007	Road (2006)	40%
3.5/4	"Sweet Land is a lovely, lovely small story about discrimination, assimilation and acceptance in the plains." Posted Jan 19, 2007	Sweet Land (2006)	83%
2.5/4	"Many story elements are predictable, and they rely on superior acting to make up for other shortcomings." Posted Jan 5, 2007	The Painted Veil (2006)	74%
3/4	"Yellow Dog is engaging, if familiar, viewing." Posted Dec 8, 2006	Cave of the Yellow Dog (2006)	88%
3/4	"Nelson gives plenty of time to the intelligent, articulate members who provide riveting details about those days nearly 30 years ago and their reflections now, but he doesn't provide historical context for the events." Posted Nov 24, 2006	Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple (2006)	94%
1.5/4	"For those who don't know Arbus' work, there's little to glean from this portrait." Posted Nov 24, 2006	Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)	30%
2/4	"You spend more time watching the technique than the interplay between Carter and Eckhart." Posted Nov 16, 2006	Conversation(s) with Other Women (2006)	74%
3.5/4	"A mind-bending treat adapted by director Emmanuel Carr�re from his novel." Posted Nov 10, 2006	La Moustache (2005)	85%
3/4	"The attraction here is the naturalistic, dead-on dialogue delivered by articulate, interesting characters who live realistically lower-class lives in underfurnished apartments financed by dead-end jobs." Posted Nov 3, 2006	Mutual Appreciation (2006)	88%
2.5/4	"One of those frothy films photographed in the quaint English countryside that yearns to be a word-of-mouth hit, but is too thin and predictable when it should be rich in nuance and off-kilter." Posted Nov 3, 2006	Keeping Mum (2006)	55%
3/4	"A spare but rich film from French master technician André Téchiné." Posted Oct 12, 2006	Changing Times (2006)	65%
3.5/4	"It's a story of emotional and physical distance, one expertly rendered by Chinese director Zhang Yimou." Posted Oct 5, 2006	Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles (2006)	79%
3/4	"Mr. Lazarescu's ordeal will stick with you." Posted Sep 29, 2006	The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006)	93%
2/4	"*Even William H. Macy's raw, spare performance cannot save Edmond* from distastefulness almost beyond imagination.*" Posted Sep 8, 2006*	Edmond (2006)	46%
2.5/4	"*Carefully crafted and bereft of dialogue, Three Times* sets the bar high with its opening salvo but can't sustain the momentum.*" Posted Sep 1, 2006*	Three Times (2006)	86%
3/4	"*With its crackling dialogue and attractive, fully rounded characters, Russian Dolls* puts American movies on similar subjects to shame.*" Posted Aug 18, 2006*	Russian Dolls (2006)	72%
2/4	"Both Hurt and Bernal drift through their performances, leaving the audience as unfulfilled as an empty collection plate." Posted Jul 28, 2006	The King (2006)	54%
3/4	"From the parents to the children, the cast is uniformly excellent. Weizenbaum and Renner deserve special mention for handling a potentially unsettling relationship with care." Posted Jul 7, 2006	12 and Holding (2006)	74%
3.5/4	"Enticing, delightful and any word for 'highly entertaining' that will fit in a bunch of little boxes on a page." Posted Jun 30, 2006	Wordplay (2006)	95%
3/4	"The interaction between the self-absorbed, oblivious hairdressers and their quiet, stubborn, traditional students runs from the hilarious to the heartbreaking." Posted Jun 2, 2006	The Beauty Academy of Kabul (2006)	87%
3/4	"The graceful film by Mohammad Rasoulof balances the residents' humdrum daily lives with magical, dreamlike moments that provide hope where hope often has no place." Posted May 26, 2006	Iron Island (2006)	97%
2/4	"Widely known as a script doctor, Towne could have used one himself in bringing Fante's story to the screen." Posted Mar 24, 2006	Ask the Dust (2005)	37%
2/4	"Innocence is beautifully photographed by Benoit Debie, directed with assurance and sure to make you wonder what you've just seen." Posted Jan 26, 2006	Innocence (2004)	65%
2.5/4	"This is an agitprop effort to get viewers to think about the side effects of one industry's profit motive and how that affects consumers." Posted Dec 15, 2005	Side Effects (2005)	11%
3/4	"This is a first-rate melo-dramedy under the influence of director Arnaud Desplechin." Posted Dec 2, 2005	Kings and Queen (2005)	87%
2/4	"... seems slight and underdeveloped." Posted Nov 23, 2005	The Ice Harvest (2005)	46%
3/4	"*Some of The Holy Girl* is hard to follow, but the reward is Martel's ability to create a spiritual yet subtly lecherous mood.*" Posted Oct 27, 2005*	The Holy Girl (2005)	77%
3/4	"This is storytelling at its best, with each scene building toward a crescendo of moral decisions." Posted Sep 22, 2005	Brothers (2005)	89%
