4/4
 
"McCarthy puts a mark on each film, identifying it as distinctly his own. A couple more like them, and he'll be knighted an auteur."

4/4
 
"Nim's aquatic adventures and those on land provide the majority of thrills in this exhilarating and enchanting family picture. It's the best I've seen this year and highly recommended for girls and for boys, too."

4/4
 
"Frothy and exuberantly entertaining -- in part because of the sexual innuendoes -- it's the best romantic comedy so far this year."

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)78%
/
4/4
 
"Screenwriter Dean Craign exhibits a real feel for the way that a crisis brings out age-old hostilities. Craig uses humor as a cover-up to say something about the way families pull apart as well as together at difficult times."

"Away From Her got to me in a way no other movie has this year, eliciting copious tears."

4/4
 
"The humanity that Loach and his compassionate screenwriter bring to their story prevents it from being another polemic about how the British screwed Ireland."

The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2007)89%
/
4/4
 
"Although Pan's Labyrinth relies heavily on special effects, including the computer-generated kind, you're never aware of them. Del Toro, who wrote the story, has created a special universe. The spell it casts lingers long after the final reel."

4/4
 
"Notes on a Scandal won't be everyone's cup of tea. But if you like your films strong, this one is not to be missed."

"Charlotte's Web, a splendid new screen adaptation of White's 1952 children's book, gloriously brings the classic to life. If you've never read it, this is a perfect introduction."
Posted Dec 15, 2006
 
Charlotte's Web (2006)78%

"A resounding success because it touches on things every child has wondered about on the road to adulthood."
Posted Nov 3, 2006
 
51 Birch Street (2006)95%

4/4
 
"At its heart of darkness, the film is about the lure of power. It's a condemnation of all the dictators' men over all time."
Posted Oct 6, 2006
 
The Last King of Scotland (2006)87%

4/4
 
"... veers off in a completely different direction -- actually numerous directions, all of which will entice you to follow."

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)91%

4/4
 
"The brilliance of The Ant Bully is in the crafty way it delves into the minds of ants as they plot to save themselves from extermination... Davis creates a marvelously labyrinthine society for them, right below the surface of a bland suburb."

"That director Gavin Hood, who wrote the script from a novel by playwright Athol Fugard, could get you to care so much is a mark of the heart that went into making the film."

"Totally original yet filled with familiar human frailties, Everyone leaps off the screen to become one of those rare movie-going experiences that linger in the part of the brain reserved for celluloid memories."

"One of the many marvels of this keenly observed family saga is the rapidness and economy with which it establishes a disturbing father-daughter dynamic."
