"It is rather awesomely evident that when the cameras left, life -- and death -- simply went on." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
Back to Normandy (2008)86%
/
 
"Part tour documentary, part polemic for-and-by-the-people." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
CSNY Déjà Vu (2008)59%
/
 
"Offers a rich 20th-century survey of the country's music, culture, and history via the career of composer Humberto Teixeira." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
Man Who Bottled Clouds (2008)n/a
/
 
"Not until the goofy closing credits does the film hit its tonal stride and nail what could have been its saving, salient theme: the absurd lines that fancy people draw (and obey) to make themselves feel special on a Saturday night." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
The Doorman (2008)25%
/
 
"The biggest buzzkill that could possibly come of so much raw material." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Eight Miles High (2007)45%
/
 
"The long stretches of dead air that, it can only be assumed, were supposed to be filled by laughter provide ample time for pondering what audience Harold, T. Sean Shannon's strenuously stale comedy, was intended to find." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Harold (2008)25%
/
 
"If Cornand's rapt efforts are any indication of the fealty that her subject inspires, such followers will hang on every frame." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
La Riviere Gentille (2008)n/a
/
 
"[A] heartbreaking look at the trafficking of underage girls in New York City." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 1, 2008
 
Very Young Girls (2008)70%
/
 
"Unfortunately, Hrebejk settles for unsatisfying allusions to the Czech experience that never break through the thick haze of melodrama to make his case with any conviction." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 11, 2008
 
Beauty in Trouble (2008)69%
/
 
"Shane O'Sullivan's RFK Must Die is more of a conspiracy-query doc, but will titillate the suspicious nonetheless." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 4, 2008
 
RFK MUST DIE! The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy (2007)67%
/
 
"A small, self-assured film that moves at its own pace, always staying one graceful step ahead of its reluctant protagonist." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 4, 2008
 
The Grocer's Son (2008)82%
/
 
"Bell finds the epitome of that tragedy in his own family and, in his first film, digs unflinchingly at its roots." -- Village Voice

Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)97%
/
 
"Engrossing." -- Village Voice
Posted May 27, 2008
 
Wonders Are Many: The Making of Doctor Atomic (2008)83%
/
 
"The reasoned arguments of these motivated, eloquent young people and the passionate but substantive confrontations in the streets are strangely heartwarming; it’s a level of engagement that has proven sadly elusive for most conflicted countries." -- Village Voice
Posted May 7, 2008
 
Unsettled (2008)100%
/
 
"The disappointment here doesn't have much to do with Wong doing America -- he's been doing America for years, even in Chinese -- but with Wong doing Wong, and not up to his own standard." -- Village Voice
Posted Apr 2, 2008
 
My Blueberry Nights (2008)47%
/
 
"The film's destination feels overdetermined despite its sweetness." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 18, 2008
 
Under the Same Moon (2008)73%
/
 
"Theron and Woody Harrelson (as James's party pal Randall) provide vitality against the film's heavy load, but they aren't around long enough to keep it from collapsing under its own portentous weight." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 11, 2008
 
Sleepwalking (2008)19%
/
 
"Brooks deserves credit for a fairly satisfying survey of a heart wanting what it wants, thinking it wants what it doesn't want, wanting the first thing again and then waking up to what it needs." -- Reeler
Posted Feb 14, 2008
 
Definitely, Maybe (2008)72%
/
 
"A truly lovely film, as patient and generous with its characters as viewers should be with its delicately latent politics and occasional over-love of eccentric tableaux." -- Reeler
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
The Band's Visit (2007)98%
/
 
"Lior's big moment is an underdog weeper for the ages; I only wish the 80 minutes that preceded it had been as powerful." -- Reeler
Posted Jan 31, 2008
 
Praying with Lior (2008)74%
/
 
"Labaki infuses her story of beauty, friendship, longing and constraint with that so painfully epitomized in the plight of her native Lebanon." -- Reeler
Posted Jan 31, 2008
 
Caramel (2008)91%
/
 
"Hutt's instincts are solid, if occasionally unfocused; he'll be ready to turn pro any day now." -- Reeler
Posted Jan 29, 2008
 
Orthodox Stance (2008)47%
/
 
"Farrell's performance is the highlight in this uneven English blend of high drama and afternoon telly." -- Reeler
Posted Jan 17, 2008
 
Cassandra's Dream (2008)51%
/
 
"The Enron director's sharp, shaming torture exposé tracks another Great American Meltdown." -- Reeler
Posted Jan 17, 2008
 
Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)100%
/
 
"Director Abby Epstein is clearly biased in favor of home birth, but that doesn't make her case any less square." -- Reeler
Posted Jan 14, 2008
 
The Business Of Being Born (2008)77%
/
 
"Although the painting montages become somewhat burdensome in their repetition, and an epilogue feels academic in every sense, when Cajori finally pulls away from the finished portrait, the sense of a job done to brimming satisfaction is acutely twofold." -- Village Voice
Posted Jan 2, 2008
 
Chuck Close (2007)100%
/
 
"Nichol's and Co.'s foreign policy caper puts up a decent fight, but Hoffman wins the War." -- Reeler
Posted Dec 21, 2007
 
Charlie Wilson's War (2007)83%
/
 
"Dolefully faithful to its source in the broad strokes, almost none of the book's cultural engagement sneaks through." -- Reeler
Posted Dec 15, 2007
 
The Kite Runner (2007)67%
/
 
"Once it gets past some serious tonal overkill, Juno's sweetness feels earned." -- Reeler
Posted Dec 5, 2007
 
Juno (2007)93%
/
 
"In drawing and quartering much of the novel's intent, [Screenwriter/Director] Weitz ends up with a film that feels not just unfinished but undone." -- Village Voice
Posted Dec 4, 2007
 
The Golden Compass (2007)41%
/
 
"Linney and Hoffman have a tremendously rewarding, difficult (sibling) rapport." -- Reeler
Posted Nov 28, 2007
 
The Savages (2007)91%
/
 
"A poised, surprisingly unsettling film about the half-life -- and twilight -- of a fiction writer." -- Reeler
Posted Nov 21, 2007
 
Starting Out in the Evening (2007)86%
/
 
"Newell's adaptation infuses its source material's classic romantic tropes with all the poetry of a dog dish." -- Reeler
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)27%
/
 
"The most moving story about love, longevity, infidelity and the Holocaust you may ever hear." -- Reeler
Posted Nov 8, 2007
 
Steal a Pencil For Me (2007)95%
/
 
"The fragments from much of the day-in-the-life footage feel frustratingly devoid of a guiding context." -- Reeler
Posted Oct 24, 2007
 
Lagerfeld Confidential (2007)41%
/
 
"A fascinating first-person account of drug kingpin and ruthless gangster Nicky Barnes, whose outrageous story of rise, rule, rage, and revenge requires no such stylistic filler." -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 23, 2007
 
Mr. Untouchable (2007)74%
/
 
"The film doesn't fully click into the register Affleck seems to be going for -- that of a talky, tense, intricately woven urban opera of greed (both emotional and monetary), ambition and ethical relativism." -- Reeler
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Gone Baby Gone (2007)94%
/
 
"There is a smart, piercing film in here somewhere, but Rendition never fully connects with its subject." -- Reeler
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Rendition (2007)48%
/
 
"As insistent on its emotional grandiosity as it is completely meaningless." -- Reeler
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)34%
/
 
"Director Jake Paltrow's feature debut has all the hallmarks of an earnest young man's feature debut, and while that is not necessarily a bad thing, I can only imagine that it fit Sundance like a fingerless glove when it had its premiere there." -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 2, 2007
 
The Good Night (2007)26%
/
 
"A kill-'em-all action flick that attempts to elevate itself with clumsy, rock 'n roll politics, dropping actual names and articles of political currency like catchphrases." -- Reeler
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
The Kingdom (2007)51%
/
 
"Time was clearly taken here to do better than fine with material that had a sizeable no-brainer audience built right into the title." -- Reeler
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)65%
/
 
"The doc is an excellent survey of the techniques employed by the Third Reich to not just demoralize but de-historicize the countries they invaded." -- Village Voice
Posted Sep 11, 2007
 
The Rape of Europa (2007)78%
/
 
"Romance & Cigarettes is less a story than a state of mind, and less a musical than a meditation on how we instinctively set our lives to music, if not other musicals; unfortunately, it is just shy of convincing on both counts." -- Village Voice
Posted Sep 4, 2007
 
Romance & Cigarettes (2007)53%
/
 
"This slim, sparsely drawn and gently affecting documentary fulfills the promise of Mr. Vig's singular visage." -- Reeler
Posted Aug 29, 2007
 
The Monastery: Mr. Vig & the Nun (2006)78%
/
 
"Hawke telegraphs the banal, delusional, pretentious aspects of being 21 and in love too well, and without fully transforming them into something of substance." -- Reeler
Posted Aug 25, 2007
 
The Hottest State (2006)35%
/
 
"Moore is such a smooth and comfortable presence onscreen that the at times embarrassingly naked framework of David Bromberg's screenplay seems almost believable." -- Reeler
Posted Aug 25, 2007
 
Dedication (2007)41%
/
 
"Seeming to cater to the ADD generation even as it tackles a subject of enormous scope, The 11th Hour doesn't quite get the job done." -- Reeler
Posted Aug 18, 2007
 
The 11th Hour (2007)66%
/
 
"With an excess of excitable style, samba music, and heady, montage-driven metaphor that threatens to bury his film's key ideas, young-gun director Kohn So far, he's succeeded." -- Village Voice
Posted Aug 14, 2007
 
Manda Bala (2007)80%
/
 
"Delpy wrangles her metaphors without showing too much strain, and the performances are too lovely and guileless to fault." -- Reeler
Posted Aug 9, 2007
 
2 Days In Paris (2007)87%
