	"*Only those already won over by recent Shinji Aoyama will coddle to Sad Vacation, the prolific helmer's latest overlong, confused meditation on family and abandonment." Posted Jul 9, 2008*	Sad Vacation (2007)	n/a

	"A charmer displaying all the strengths and weaknesses of fast-rising helmer Yasmin Ahmad. Few filmmakers rep close-knit families better than she does, and with her usual core of thesps, she's a master at breezy, warm-hearted and sexually open repartee." Posted May 28, 2008	Mukhsin (2006)	n/a

	"Freshman helmer Alexis Alexiou enters into the fevered mind of a schizophrenic man in the meticulously crafted thriller Tale 52." Posted May 9, 2008	Istoria 52 (2008)	n/a
	"At once uplifting and thought-provoking, guaranteed to send viewers Googling figures and events, this poetic docu is inspired by, and a worthy accompaniment to, Howard Zinn's revolutionary A People's History of the United States." Posted May 5, 2008	Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind (2008)	n/a

	"*Reasonably diverting and handsomely shot in black-and-white, I Always Wanted to Be a Gangster* is a pleasant four-chapter reverie on modest but failed aspirations and unlikely contentment.*" Posted Jan 30, 2008*	I Always Wanted to Be a Gangster (2008)	n/a
	"Unquestionably geared toward adults, pic can't shake the feeling of a concept film with little to hold it together, other than as a showcase for a group of talented artists; the monologue injects an unwelcome note of pretension and silliness." Posted Jan 30, 2008	Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)	n/a
	"The legitimate case for death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal's retrial gets another airing in British helmer Marc Evans' unfocused, oddly naive In Prison My Whole Life." Posted Nov 17, 2007	In Prison My Whole Life (2007)	n/a
	"Youth Without Youth will translate to cinemas without audiences." Posted Oct 23, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
	"Many of the so-called twists feel strained, though preteens are unlikely to complain, and there's nothing here to really frighten an even younger crowd." Posted Oct 23, 2007	August Rush (2007)	38%
	"*Subtlety certainly isn't a priority for Reclaim Your Brain, whose sentimental sappiness creates an uncomfortable fusion between the trendy and the sweet." Posted Oct 9, 2007*	Reclaim Your Brain (2007)	n/a
	"Tension builds as the auction date approaches, and there's a striking believability about the ways the various characters cope with the possibilities resulting from the sale." Posted Oct 9, 2007	House (2007)	n/a
	"Definition is so crystal clear, the colors so true, that anything other than a spotless and seamless screen will be annoying -- docu cries out for complete IMAX treatment." Posted Oct 3, 2007	Earth (2007)	n/a
	"It's all here: the struggles with weight, her marriage of convenience, Onassis' betrayal and, of course, the triumphs and scandals." Posted Sep 17, 2007	Callas assoluta (2007)	n/a
	"As certain to get auds singing as the man himself, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song is a terrific, multilayered portrait of a singer whose legacy extends beyond music and into every major social action movement since the 1940s." Posted Sep 8, 2007	Pete Seeger - The Power of Song (2007)	95%
	"There's a zest for life in almost every frame" Posted Sep 8, 2007	Nightwatching (2007)	n/a
	"An impressive feature debut that sweeps the viewer into the horrors of vigilante justice" Posted Sep 5, 2007	La Zona (2007)	63%
	"Little more than a bad TV movie, pic tackles the true story of Jews rounded up in a hotel on Lake Maggiore in 1943 and the false tale of the German woman who tried to save them." Posted Sep 4, 2007	Hotel Meina (2007) (2007)	n/a
	"Despite striking images and occasionally enchanting prose, pic is ultimately a humorless affair: It's hard to believe Cleopatra's vaunted erudition when she resembles a Playboy centerfold posing in an ancient version of Hugh Hefner's library." Posted Sep 4, 2007	Cleopatra (2007)	n/a
	"Improved editing would create a greater thrust to argument and poignancy, but the docu remains both an impassioned defense of American ideals and a vociferous warning on how those ideals are being hijacked." Posted Aug 1, 2007	Out of Status (2007)	n/a
	"Pleasant but ultimately slight costumer is generating good local press, though non-Italo auds will lose much of the heavily accented wordplay." Posted Jul 14, 2007	N: Napoleon & Me (2007)	n/a
	"All the books in the world aren't nearly as valuable as a single cup of coffee with a friend -- so says One Hundred Nails, Ermanno Olmi's disappointing follow-up to his luminous Singing Behind Screens." Posted May 25, 2007	One Hundred Nails (2007)	n/a
	"Despite its long running time, this powerhouse doesn't feel self-indulgent, thanks to the sheer rawness of the material." Posted May 25, 2007	Calle Santa Fe (2007)	n/a
	"*Less accessible to general auds than The Sun,* pic deserves major accolades from fests as well as discerning arthouses.*" Posted May 24, 2007*	Alexandra (2008)	94%
	"A sweet affair, hiding any bitter undertones under a sprightly, glistening exterior." Posted May 22, 2007	Caramel (2008)	91%
	"Alternately delightful and disturbing" Posted May 20, 2007	The Mosquito Problem and Other Stories (2007)	n/a
	"A warm and delightful take on cross-cultural relations that proves that sometimes a light touch is just what's needed to address serious topics." Posted May 20, 2007	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
	"A crushingly unsuccessful glimpse into the lives of the rich, peripatetic heirs of the Bakelite plastics fortune." Posted May 20, 2007	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
	"Some of Alex Baupain's tunes were already written, others composed specifically for the film. They're pleasant affairs, each tuned to the characters' states of mind, but the melodies aren't distinctive enough to leave more than a passing impression." Posted May 19, 2007	Les Chansons d'Amour (2007)	38%
	"*If only the ravishing opening shot of Andrey Zvyagintsev's The Banishment* was followed up with both beauty and something genuinely profound, then disappointment wouldn't be so palpable.*" Posted May 18, 2007*	The Banishment (2007)	40%
	"*Pitch perfect and brilliantly acted, 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days* is a stunning achievement.*" Posted May 17, 2007*	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%

	"Helmer Daniele Luchetti keeps the mood light and winning." Posted May 12, 2007	My Brother is an Only Child (2006)	85%
	"Perhaps it's the new locale, but there's more of a sense of solidarity here than in Tsai's past films." Posted May 8, 2007	I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)	88%
	"[Director] Gibney has crafted more than just an important document of systemic abuse -- he's stripped the rhetoric from official doublespeak to expose a callous disregard for not only the Geneva Conventions but the vision of the Founding Fathers." Posted May 4, 2007	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
	"Helmer Mary Jordan does an extraordinary job sorting through extensive material and gathering a who's who of collaborators and disciples, offering an insightful and incisive portrait of a self-destructive paranoid artist." Posted Apr 10, 2007	Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis (2007)	83%
	"Endearingly amusing." Posted Mar 10, 2007	Black Sheep (2007)	71%
	"Norwegian helmer Line Halvorsen constructs a damning portrait of the case by focusing on the trial's emotional toll." Posted Feb 2, 2007	USA VS Al-Arian (2007)	n/a
	"Uncomfortably blends the lines between docu and subject matter." Posted Jan 6, 2007	American Cannibal - The Documentary (2006)	62%
	"Once the pieces fall into place and the limitations of unattractive digital lensing are set aside, Kinshasa Palace becomes an engrossing study of family displacement and the socially corrosive ramifications of the recent African diaspora." Posted Oct 31, 2006	Kinshasa Palace (2006)	n/a
	"Inland Empire may mesmerize those for whom the helmer can do no wrong, but the unconvinced and the occasional admirer will find it dull as dishwater and equally murky." Posted Oct 28, 2006	Inland Empire (2006)	70%
