Beyond the Call (2008)56%
/

Posted Nov 5, 2007
 
Quantum Hoops (2007)78%
/
 
"Bier is skilled at exploring the inner lives of her characters, but the editing by Pernille Bech Christensen and Bruce Cannon is more precious than revealing."
Posted Oct 18, 2007
 
Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)65%

Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
The Final Season (2007)23%

Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
Trade (2007)27%
/
 
"In a sense, the subject of this film contributed a good deal of material to his cinematic biography, material that is gut-wrenchingly intimate and revelatory."
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Deep Water (2007)96%
/
 
"[Anspichler's] reliance on mostly interior scenes, dark and haunting, projects a mood of constant horrors suffered in secret by the innocent."
Posted Jun 4, 2007
 
Egoïste: Lotti Latrous (2007)n/a
/
 
"Talks its way to a tedious, predictable conclusion that offers more yawns than laughs."
Posted May 14, 2007
 
The Salon (2005)13%
/
 
"If anyone involved in this sloppy, inexplicable slasher flick had a notion of what they were doing or why, they've kept it to themselves."

Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
The Game of Their Lives (2005)25%
/
 
"What writer-director Michael McGowan has pulled off is a bit of a miracle."

Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Alice et Martin (1998)67%

Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Winter Solstice (2005)62%
/
 
"Holland's impeccable taste, along with Caroline Amies' superb production design, give this unlikely feminist polemic as much dignity and grace as any historical film could muster."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Copying Beethoven (2006)26%
/
 
"The plot is derivative, the dialogue cumbersome and cliché-ridden."

Nightmare Man (2007)57%

Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Scoop (2006)37%

Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005)47%
/
 
"What happens afterwards, in Refn and the late Hubert Selby, Jr.'s can't-resist-obscurity-and-ambiguity screenplay will disappoint most filmgoers."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Fear X (2003)55%
/
 
"First-time writer-director Christine Jeffs captures the destruction of a family with a blunt accuracy that never precludes a gift for the occasionally lyrical moment."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Rain (2002)84%
/
 
"Those who can tolerate slower rhythms will appreciate Kore-eda's patient approach. And all will admire his handling of the children."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Nobody Knows (2005)96%
/
 
"Ranks among the most mindless action films ever made, but scores as a helluva video game."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Crank (2006)61%
/
 
"Though there are ugly events galore, there is not an ugly frame in this entire masterpiece of a soap opera by the sea."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
The Sea (2003)51%
/
 
"Modest but compelling tale of a victimized woman looking for a life free of pain and abuse."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
The Dogwalker (2006)55%

Kontroll (2005)81%

Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)83%

Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Pretty Persuasion (2005)32%

"The action bogs down in a torrent of clichés."
Posted Feb 20, 2007
 
Daddy's Little Girls (2007)25%

Posted Jan 22, 2007
 
The Hitcher (2007)20%
/
 
"Although Nolte gives a thoroughly masterful performance, one great actor is never enough. Film, like baseball, is a team sport."

Off the Black (2006)68%
/
 
"Kidman's performance is her best to date."
Posted Dec 1, 2006
 
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)30%
/
 
"As ugly as the war sequences are, DP Bruno Delbonnel's lens is equally adept at capturing the life-affirming glory of France in all its lush beauty, while Aline Bonetto's production design is both remarkably original and historically authentic."
Posted Dec 8, 2004
 
A Very Long Engagement (2004)77%
/
 
"The failure is in the execution, and as script, direction and even make-up are abysmal, it is very difficult to believe a moment of Saw."
Posted Oct 30, 2004
 
Saw (2004)46%
/
 
"An unconvincing fairy tale that masquerades as an earnest plea for freedom."
Posted Sep 18, 2004
 
I Am David (2004)36%
/
 
"Offers not much more than a snazzy-looking but ultimately empty experiment."
Posted Sep 14, 2004
 
Reconstruction (2004)76%
/
 
"Both psychologically revealing and richly comic."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Little Black Book (2004)23%
/
 
"It is without doubt the ideal film for sophisticated audiences who desperately need cinematic relief from graphic sex scenes, car chases and carefully choreographed explosions."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Intimate Strangers (2004)87%
/
 
"For an episodic film, America's Heart and Soul is fast-paced and often downright exciting."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
America's Heart and Soul (2004)49%
/
 
"Strictly for the kids. Parents will find themselves yawning more often than not."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Garfield the Movie (2004)13%
/
 
"Like d.p. Mayse Alberti's overemphasis on dark interiors and gloomy exteriors, the music dresses an already dismal soap opera in somber tones that leave us vaguely despondent rather than caring."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)66%
/
 
"Despite the frequent obviousness of the script and direction ... the story attains an undeniable, if somewhat soap opera-like, power."
Posted Jan 17, 2004
 
Latter Days (2004)44%
/
 
"Anyone familiar with Roger Corman's output in the 1950s will appreciate how much artistry (or lack thereof) has gone into this cornball masterpiece."
Posted Jan 17, 2004
 
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2004)53%
/
 
"Harrowing suspense is maintained at a high level, even though we know the outcome."
Posted Dec 20, 2003
 
Touching the Void (2004)93%
/
 
"Discerning and heartfelt little masterpiece."
Posted Nov 29, 2003
 
Kitchen Stories (2004)90%
/
 
"Although the subtitles here sometimes seem flat and repetitive, art-house audiences will find in the poignant dignity of the women of Afghanistan images of lasting beauty, courage and grace."
Posted Nov 29, 2003
 
Osama (2003)96%
/
 
"It is Charlize Theron, much heavier than her normal weight, dispensing with the last shred of glamour and looking like a mirror image of Wuornos, who provides an Academy Award-caliber take on one of the most sorrowful women of our time."
Posted Nov 25, 2003
 
Monster (2003)82%
/
 
"[Saville's] ability to serve the text is remarkable, and he is able to demonstrate that the story of Christ is extraordinarily powerful, whether we regard these events as divine or not."
Posted Nov 3, 2003
