When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)82%

"Blessed with a fine script, solid cast, smashing production design, and a message that drives home the notion that money isn't everything."
Posted Apr 30, 2008
 
Savage Grace (2008)44%
/
 
"Too familiar by half to be indie/arty/edgy and too anemic by another half to surface as mainstream/commercial."
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Then She Found Me (2008)55%
/
 
"Lurid, cynical and cheesy as it is, 88 Minutes doesn't entirely disappoint."

88 Minutes (2008)6%

The Visitor (2008)92%

Shine a Light (2008)86%

Posted Mar 19, 2008
 
Heartbeat Detector (2007)75%
/
 
"The film hasn't much substance beneath its showy surface."
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
Boarding Gate (2007)26%

Snow Angels (2008)68%
/

Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
Love Songs (2008)66%
/
 
"While Vivere is no merry Christmas tale and the story here is slight and its execution awkward, it delivers many pleasures."
Posted Mar 3, 2008
 
Vivere (2008)47%
/

Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%
/

The Counterfeiters (2008)94%

Posted Dec 12, 2007
 
Youth Without Youth (2007)29%
/
 
"As slow as its title character's Southern drawl, and it falls between audience segments, being neither arty nor terribly commercial."
Posted Nov 29, 2007
 
The Walker (2007)51%
/
 
"A heap of preciousness and pretensions that puts words and literary references to the fore."
Posted Nov 26, 2007

Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)70%

Posted Nov 13, 2007
 
How to Cook Your Life (2007)71%
/
 
"The film, however provocative and full of eye candy, is really for hardcore art-house fans only."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Klimt (2006)29%
/
 
"So loaded with information, the "fog of war" morphs into a more enveloping fog of politics and ethics."
Posted Oct 17, 2007
 
Terror's Advocate (2007)84%
/
 
"Entertains more than it should, a sure sign that the real culprit is the fine talent assembled."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Sleuth (2007)35%
/
 
"Arguably the most self-indulgent and silly of his five-film oeuvre...The emperor's new clothes have only gotten more expensive and Asian-inspired."
Posted Oct 3, 2007
 
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)67%
/

Posted Jul 27, 2007
 
No Reservations (2007)39%
/
 
"Cheapens its narrative material with what savvier viewers may suspect are many a fudged moment."
Posted Jul 24, 2007
 
Arctic Tale (2007)62%
/
 
"A lavish what-if but a highly engaging one that should ensnare art-house audiences not too fussy about facts and trashy narrative detours."

Posted Jun 12, 2007
 
Belle Toujours (2006)69%
/
 
"It's a populist soap opera abounding in nostalgic evocations of decades past and compressed into 90 minutes of lurid narrative."
Posted May 31, 2007
 
Crazy Love (2007)78%
/
 
"Those viewers who tend to regard glasses half empty rather than half full will be appalled at what could pass for outright exploitation by the filmmakers."
