3/4	"Kieslowski movingly demonstrates the unexpected connections that strangers make, and ponders the metaphysical forces that not only bind us, but also redeem us." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted May 29, 2004	A Short Film About Killing (1988)	78%

3/4	"A bleak picture." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Oct 10, 2003	Power Trip (2003)	97%
3/4	"This is a lament on the human condition, free of scented roses and free of solemnity." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Oct 3, 2003	Dog Days (2002)	48%
2/4	"*Mahieux ... builds a character so relentlessly powerful and creepy that The Embalmer* leaves an aftertaste -- we can practically smell him.*" -- San Francisco Chronicle* Posted Sep 26, 2003	The Embalmer (2003)	81%
4/4	"A classic policier." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 26, 2003	Touchez Pas Au Grisbi (1953)	100%
2/4	"Hokum with a big-budget gloss, it's a simple, formulaic nail-biter." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 19, 2003	Cold Creek Manor (2003)	12%
2/4	"[A] schmaltz fest." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 19, 2003	Secondhand Lions (2003)	60%
4/4	"[Coppola] gives us a film so poignant, so funny, so free of self-satisfied bravado, that one can't help but look forward to her next work." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 12, 2003	Lost in Translation (2003)	95%
2/4	"Has moments of style and audacity, but the script is a shameless muddle and the shifts in tone -- from gooey romance to hard-driving, hyper-pop action -- give the impression that the movie was directed by six or seven people in alternating shift." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 12, 2003	So Close (2003)	81%
3/4	"A clever look at con artists and their games of deception." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 12, 2003	Matchstick Men (2003)	82%
3/4	"When it sticks to Bezerra de Mello, who's a genuine heroine despite her joking disavowals of her importance, it's riveting." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 3, 2003	Warrior of Light (2003)	83%
3/4	"Sci-fi has rarely been so playful." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Aug 22, 2003	Teknolust (2002)	28%
4/4	"Beautifully acted, a pleasure to watch." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Aug 15, 2003	The Cuckoo (2003)	87%
2/4	"Ultimately, it's a cold, caustic film that doesn't take a strong point of view but seems to offer up its numerous set pieces ... for sheer goony pleasure." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Aug 8, 2003	Buffalo Soldiers (2003)	70%
3/4	"Ivory's direction is so polished and smooth and full of smart observations that I never found my attention lagging." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Aug 8, 2003	Le Divorce (2003)	38%
2/4	"Void of inflection, Dylan doesn't act, but stands and looks uneasy in whatever space the camera is pointing. The deadness in his eyes stops the movie cold." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Aug 1, 2003	Masked and Anonymous (2003)	25%
4/4	"All told, the best ensemble cast I've seen this year." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jul 25, 2003	Dirty Pretty Things (2003)	94%
2/4	"A bland, contrived soap opera." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jul 22, 2003	Km. 0 (2003)	55%
3/4	"The spy-spoof genre is old hat ... but Atkinson is such an inventive, endearing clown that one doesn't mind." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jul 18, 2003	Johnny English (2003)	33%
3/4	"Brazilian filmmaker Karim Ainouz doesn't glorify dos Santos but examines the hot, reckless fever of his life in all its thorny complexity." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jul 11, 2003	Madame Sata (2003)	60%
2/4	"Jet Lag is a time-waster that might be diversionary on a dull cross-Atlantic flight -- but only in the absence of alternatives." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 27, 2003	Jet Lag (2003)	55%
3/4	"A low-budget wonder." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 13, 2003	Manito (2003)	94%
4/4	"It leaves us puzzling, long after the film has ended, about the Friedmans' strange family dynamics, about the justice system and community that condemned them, about the elusive nature of 'truth.'" -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 13, 2003	Capturing the Friedmans (2003)	97%
3/4	"The casting is impeccable, the dialogue raw and the impenetrable Glaswegian brogue is wisely translated with English subtitles." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 6, 2003	Sweet Sixteen (2003)	98%
3/4	"*Maddin is an image-maker first and a storyteller second, and most of the fun in watching Dracula* is sharing the high he feels in building such giddy, gauzy atmosphere.*" -- San Francisco Chronicle* Posted Jun 6, 2003	Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary (2003)	86%
3/4	"Not only celebrates Deren's cinematic legacy but also reveals a gifted talent whose explosive temperament was at odds with the lyrical, dreamlike imagery she put on screen." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted May 16, 2003	In the Mirror of Maya Deren (2003)	94%
4/4	"[Kaurismaki] trusts us to find the humor and the humanity that coexist in his world and in the process retains a purity of style and intent." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 25, 2003	The Man Without a Past (2003)	98%
1/4	"Starts promisingly but disintegrates into a dreary, humorless soap opera." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 25, 2003	Hush! (2001)	79%
1/4	"First-time director Catherine Jelski dredges up every cliche about druggy, obnoxious dreamers on the fringes of Hollywood and assumes that said cliches have the power to shock and surprise." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 25, 2003	The Young Unknowns (2003)	15%
2/4	"It's all gratuitous before long, as if Schwentke were fulfilling a gross-out quota for an anticipated audience demographic instead of shaping the material to fit the story." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 18, 2003	Tattoo (2002)	74%
3/4	"*It's Polanski's show, clear and simple. On the heels of his well-deserved Oscar for The Pianist, it's a treat to see this terrific artist reveal another, unexpected dimension of his talent." -- San Francisco Chronicle* Posted Apr 18, 2003	Revenge (1957)	n/a
3/4	"Parker is very good at conveying Agnes' wobbly mixture of instability and emotional bravery, and Jenkins finds the sad, lonely ache below Theresa's urge to regiment the lives of everyone in the family." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 11, 2003	Marion Bridge (2000)	75%
2/4	"A well-acted, exquisitely photographed, plot-jammed movie that sinks into melodrama and reveals too little about the African culture and landscape in which it's set." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 4, 2003	Nowhere in Africa (2003)	85%
1/4	"A dreadful teen comedy." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 4, 2003	What a Girl Wants (2003)	35%
1/4	"A lot of the acting is amateurish, and most of the plot feels like a rehash of a rehash." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Mar 21, 2003	Down and Out with the Dolls (2003)	52%
1/4	"Is there a point to this spew, a cry against the mongrel violence of men? Or is Noe merely a sadist who enjoys inflicting ugly, pitiless images on his audience?" -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Mar 14, 2003	Irreversible (2003)	56%
3/4	"A handsome film, filled with lavish costumes and set designs and told in a series of exquisitely composed images." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Mar 14, 2003	Chi-hwa-seon (2002)	82%
3/4	"A movie that eliminates Hollywood gloss and pop cliches -- and in their place offers an honest look at young love and its pitfalls." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Feb 28, 2003	All the Real Girls (2003)	71%
2/4	"Hardwick ... directs with energy and rhythm." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Feb 7, 2003	Deliver Us From Eva (2003)	42%
3/4	"Oddly, the film isn't nearly as downbeat as it sounds, but strikes a tone that's alternately melancholic, hopeful and strangely funny." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 31, 2003	Love Liza (2002)	54%
3/4	"Captures one of the wildest, most heartbreaking episodes in Gilliam's career." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 31, 2003	Lost in La Mancha (2003)	94%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 20, 2003	America's Prince - The John F. Kennedy Jr. Story (2003)	n/a
1/4	"It's another world now, which is why Kirkwood's play, adapted to the screen by actor Steve Guttenberg, feels so moldy and out of date." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 17, 2003	P.S. Your Cat is Dead! (2002)	24%
3/4	"Dense and thoughtful and brimming with ideas that are too complex to be rapidly absorbed." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 10, 2003	Derrida (2002)	82%
