"Antonioni seems to be using his absence from the scene as an opportunity to restate his vision, perhaps having a new generation of filmgoers in mind."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Beyond the Clouds (1995)67%
/
 
"The real tragedy is the death of a liberal education."
Posted Jan 4, 2007
 
Butterfly (1999)95%

Posted Sep 9, 2002
 
The New Eve (1998)75%
/
 
"Piñeyro's solution for every predictable plot advancement and character relationship is a lot of frantic arm-waving, as though to insist, 'But these gangsters are gay!'"
Posted Mar 2, 2002
 
Burnt Money (2001)76%
/
 
"[Lynch] is keying into the layers of film reality that make the art so palpable."
Posted Dec 10, 2001
 
Mulholland Dr. (2001)81%
/
 
"With hardly any artistry in sight, the film's appeal cannot hold up, not even with a solid performance from Uma Thurman and a fine one from Ethan Hawke."

Love Always (1997)n/a
/
 
"For at least half of its length, it is quietly revelatory, luminous and invigorating, and for those reasons it makes essential viewing."
Posted Oct 30, 2001
 
Eternity and a Day (1998)95%
/
 
"Maybe Frears' most unflinching drama."
Posted Aug 27, 2001
 
Liam (2001)70%
/
 
"Stettner seems to understand perfectly that all you really need for making a fine movie is a sleek script, alert performers and a damn good eye."
Posted Aug 27, 2001
 
The Business of Strangers (2001)80%
/
 
"Proves yet again, to believers in documentrary grit and spontaneity, that nothing improves realism like elegance."
Posted Aug 20, 2001
 
Lisa Picard is Famous (2001)45%
/
 
"Schroeder assays his subject rather than assails the viewer, delivering the city in creamy, beautifully fading browns."
Posted Jul 30, 2001
 
Our Lady of the Assassins (2001)77%
/
 
"Wild California seldom flags in energy, and there are moments of visual awe, heart-pounding exhiliration, and joy over the wonder and beauty of nature."
Posted Jul 3, 2001
 
IMAX - Adventures in Wild California (2000)n/a
/
 
"Creates an entire futuristic world without, seemingly, ever changing the camera set-up."
Posted Jul 3, 2001
 
Thomas in Love (2001)69%
/
 
"Moodysson sensitively focuses on each person's concerns and dilemmas, but also captures plenty of scenes of life together in the crowded, spirited commune."
Posted Jun 27, 2001
 
Together (2001)90%
/
 
"Hatches plenty of wild turns in its final half-hour without truly tripping up."
Posted Jun 25, 2001
 
The Crimson Rivers (2001)68%
/
 
"Arrestingly beautiful; you can practically get drunk on its fusion of movement, color, light and sound."
Posted Jun 5, 2001
 
Wonderland (2000)62%
/
 
"The whole film rings true to artful tones and positions, because Vierny sees the triumph of freedom over oppression as a kind of graceful, superlative production."
Posted Jun 1, 2001
 
The Man Who Cried (2001)35%
/
 
"Like the huge face of Garbo in her silent work, the gorgeous landscapes of films such as Journey Into Amazing Caves loom over the viewer and hold an irresistible sway."
Posted May 30, 2001
 
IMAX - Journey into Amazing Caves (2001)88%
/
 
"One of very few American films to investigate the contemporary scene with the thoughtful, old-fashioned run-on take."
Posted May 3, 2001
 
Our Song (2001)90%
/

Posted Apr 30, 2001
 
Eureka (2001)90%
/
 
"The conflicts, vistas, rhythm and mood are of a piece, but not every personality or circumstance is fully thought through."
Posted Apr 10, 2001
 
South of Heaven, West of Hell (2001)14%
/
 
"Woody Allen-ish metaphysical intrigues are at the center of the clever Man of the Century"
Posted Apr 3, 2001
 
Man of the Century (1999)80%
/
 
"Probably worth seeing for the sets, battle scenes, and the questions of patriotism and allegiance it raises early on."
Posted Apr 2, 2001
 
Enemy at the Gates (2001)59%
/
 
"A smart, neat little movie."
Posted Mar 5, 2001
 
Company Man (2001)15%

Posted Mar 5, 2001
 
The Price of Milk (2001)49%
/
 
"The plot is thin, but its bustling construction dazzles."
Posted Feb 7, 2001
 
Maléna (2000)55%
/
 
"A little like enjoying the work of the best student of a great painter. All in all, you would probably like to go back to seeing the previous work."
Posted Feb 7, 2001
 
The Claim (2001)62%

"A plain Jane piece of cinema, Romeo nonetheless delivers some tangible grit, and fair play for the audience."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A Room for Romeo Brass (2000)68%
/
 
"Huston's skill at evoking public conduct naturally and easily--she lived part of her childhood in Dublin--makes Agnes Browne succeed."

Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Among Giants (1998)59%

Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
An Affair of Love (2000)84%
/
 
"The film has a glossy, enjoyable surface."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Arlington Road (1999)60%
/
 
"In conception, it's closer to Bruce Beresford's Six Degrees of Separation: Both films call attention to the close relatedness, regardless of geography and class, of humans."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Beautiful People (1999)76%
/
 
"The frenetic editing and shaky framing, a combination so familiar from MTV, become in Bertolucci's hands something greater than sham documentary."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Besieged (1998)73%
/
 
"The feel of Cat is not only humorous and biting, but close to exquisite."
Posted Jan 1, 2000

Posted Jan 1, 2000

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999)97%

"Freeman seems to have spent much time lining up the plotlines, but somewhere along the way forgot to impart grit and substance to his characters."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Desert Blue (1998)44%
/
 
"Maybe shy of an Altman masterpiece, Dr. T easily makes up for his last several outings."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dr. T and the Women (2000)58%
/
 
"The biggest flaw is the film's patent lack of a life pulse"
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
eXistenZ (1999)72%
/
 
"The elegance and spontaneity dazzle and enliven, and the flattening out of space and emotion guarantee the film as a provocation to the Hollywood game and a statement of its maker's independence."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)78%
/
 
"Wong has used practically every cinematic element available to him to create a mood of love gone off the track, drawn-out wishes, time passing emptily, and disconnection."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Fallen Angels (Hong Kong) (1996)95%
/
 
"Although Winterbottom intended this tale of serious illness to escape the grip of melodrama, that's exactly where it ends up."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Go Now (1996)56%
/
 
"Solondz's view of [his characters] is prickly, perhaps, but he doesn't skewer them or indict humanity."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Happiness (1998)83%
/
 
"Working past a romance that burns out, the film affirms other, simple bonds that give strong sustenance."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Happy Together (1997)77%
/
 
"In better sync with its content, but its story, too, of an individual living in a dumpster world trying to share what he knows and make it sing, is undeniably moving."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Henry Fool (1998)81%
/
 
"Instead of unproductively pilloring the movie industry, Drazan and Rabe locate Hollywood as the site through which society can treat its conflicts and ideals"
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Hurlyburly (1998)58%
/
 
"Though a little creaky in parts, the film wins us over with its impressive production values, fair-minded presentation and formal ambition."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
IMAX - Mysteries of Egypt (1999)73%
