4/5	"No End in Sight, the latest Iraq documentary, is the first to attempt a detailed historical overview and probably the only one with the potential to reach across partisan lines, a true rarity in the sphere of political filmmaking." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 2, 2007	No End in Sight (2007)	94%
4/5	"*Setting aside the dubious coherence and suspect nostalgia of the enterprise, Grindhouse* is a fascinating exercise in genre reinvention, a showcase for two radically different approaches to homage.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Apr 5, 2007	Grindhouse (2007)	81%
4/5	"An intimate, melancholy look at the isolation and disorientation common to the immigrant experience." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 8, 2007	The Namesake (2007)	85%

	"Finn's deadpan is immaculately bone-dry, and his antiquarian fastidiousness is worthy of Guy Maddin." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 3, 2006	Interkosmos (2006)	n/a
	"*The golden-hued footage is lovingly faked by ace cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle, and the straight-faced result is as improbably touching as the Farrelly brothers' underrated Stuck on You." -- Village Voice* Posted Jul 25, 2006	Brothers of the Head (2006)	67%
	"At once robust and ethereal, this is an existential ghost story, with fresh blood pulsing through its veins." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 11, 2006	Gabrielle (2005)	75%

	"... thanks to lowered expectations ... and in a season of economically disastrous disaster movies, the mere fact that this Memorial Day juggernaut is not a catastrophe should spell good news for a depressed industry." -- Village Voice Posted May 23, 2006	X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)	56%
	"Like most memorials, it is respectful, premised on competing obligations to the dead and the living, and eager to stress that the deaths were not in vain. It not only tells us we should never forget but also illustrates how we should remember." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 18, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%

	"This mysterious object may be Denis's most gorgeous film (which is saying something), but more than that, it's a fearless filmmaker's boldest experiment yet, a direct line from her unconscious to yours." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 20, 2005	The Intruder (2005)	84%
	"A breezy first-person video essay that goes in search of the average Asian American woman, all the while wondering if there is in fact such a thing." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 13, 2005	The Grace Lee Project (2005)	95%

	"It illuminates the sinister logic of a new world order that depends on corrupt globalization to put an acceptable face on age-old colonialism." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 2, 2005	Darwin's Nightmare (2006)	92%
	"Tony Takitani conveys a powerfully tangible sense of loss and loneliness. In both concrete and existential terms, it's a film that dwells on what the dead leave behind and how the living carry on." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 26, 2005	Tony Takitani (2005)	90%
	"*In place of psychological clarity, Last Days* affords a woozy existential coherence.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jul 19, 2005	Last Days (2005)	60%
	"World cinema's premier maker of mysterious objects, Apichatpong Weerasethakul is on a one-man mission to change the way we watch movies." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 28, 2005	Tropical Malady (2005)	78%

	"Lifshitz successfully maneuvers his trio of outcasts toward a state of grace: His vision of misfit utopianism, in its own quiet way, is as defiant as anything in Fassbinder." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 7, 2005	The Wild Side (2005)	63%
	"As artfully scrappy and likably wide-eyed as its subjects." -- Village Voice Posted May 24, 2005	The Fearless Freaks (2005)	100%
	"Enlivens some dingy genre predicaments (dirty money, corpse disposal) with gusts of dreamlike whimsy and a sardonic take on local economic woes." -- Village Voice Posted May 17, 2005	6ixtynin9 (2004)	94%
	"As a filmmaker, Araki, always brash, has rarely been so confident, creating a shimmering mood that allows for multiple shifts in perspective and register." -- Village Voice Posted May 3, 2005	Mysterious Skin (2005)	83%
	"A movie that locates the momentous in the mundane." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 26, 2005	Funny Ha Ha (2005)	89%

	"Tim McCann's witty video cheapster takes its squirmy premise both at face value and as deadpan metaphor." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 22, 2005	Nowhere Man (2005)	43%
	"A film that teeters between the rapturous and the ridiculous." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 15, 2005	16 Years Of Alcohol (2003)	79%
	"De Niro's brilliantly economical expression of utter revulsion somehow never stops being funny." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 21, 2004	Meet the Fockers (2004)	39%
	"Serenely garrulous and weirdly soothing." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 8, 2004	A Talking Picture (2003)	74%

	"The deadpan weirdness occasionally slips into daftness, but with its brittle rhythms and puzzling ruptures, it's the sort of movie that could haunt your dreams for weeks." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 27, 2004	It's All About Love (2004)	14%
	"*Charged with an impossible hunger, Birth* has a mordantly humorous undertow, recognizing as it does the cognitive dissonance at its core.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Oct 26, 2004	Birth (2004)	40%
