	"August seems to be missing something essential -- a prologue? Or maybe it's not what's missing that's the problem, but what's here." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 10, 2008	August (2008)	36%

	"The artist's festering recollections of her girlhood mesh with guided first-person tours of her sculptures, creating a privileged look into a psyche rendered solid." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 25, 2008	Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, The Mistress and The Tangerine (2008)	91%

	"Documentarian Erik Nelson, overcautious of his subject, is content to let Ellison luxuriate in his legacy of infamy--as a lothario, and a litigious and pugilistic combatant." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 4, 2008	Dreams with Sharp Teeth (2008)	93%
	"Star Anna Karina was in the brutal early rounds of marriage to her director, who was never more doting and egghead-condescending than in this showpiece." -- Village Voice Posted May 27, 2008	My Life to Live (1962)	89%

	"If the human details are often problematic, the IMAX-grade bombast, ceremonial camera, and Jodorowsky-esque eclecticism still combine for a singular spectacle." -- Village Voice Posted May 7, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
	"The sense of storytelling intelligence is undeniable." -- Village Voice Posted May 7, 2008	Turn the River (2008)	75%

	"Completing the convergence of rare young talents is the 27-year-old French director C�line Sciamma." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 2, 2008	Water Lilies (2007)	79%

	"The cast is a museum exhibit on the nigh-extinct art of scaled-in American bit acting, with the magnificent Sylvia Sidney as the daughter of a prominent family brought low, her flashing pridefulness intact, and Tommy Noonan as a peeping poltroon." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 27, 2008	Violent Saturday (1955)	n/a
	"Mary Olive Smith and Amy Bucher feel no need to overlay this health-care calamity with pious outrage." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 5, 2008	Walk to Beautiful, A (2008)	88%
	"So objectively awful it ceases even to be a reflection of writer-director Andrews Jenkins's non-talent, How to Rob a Bank calls into question the distribution filtration process that should protect delicate consumer eyes from things like this." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 5, 2008	How to Rob a Bank (2008)	9%

	"Without cheapening the suffering of American or Afghan, the film retrieves the torture issue from the realm of the abstract and gives the plain facts of this world right now. As long as we still care about people and power, they will matter." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 15, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
	"Morgan butchers me every time with that overemphatic- delivery thing that makes incidental lines multiplex-leveling funny." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 8, 2008	First Sunday (2008)	14%

	"Lamentable scenes include that comic relief stand-by, the Bad Date Montage, but the movie comes off better than it should by virtue of Benhamou and (especially) Lister-Jones, appealing and modest young actors who create a plausible central relationship," -- Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2007	Arranged (2007)	67%
	"One incredible tale: As independence gains a foothold, a crowd of USSR-loyal reactionaries storms the capitol building in Tallinn. The trapped officials...radio an S.O.S. to the Estonian public -- and the People actually show up." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2007	The Singing Revolution (2007)	83%
	"One incredible tale." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 6, 2007	The Singing Revolution (2007)	83%
	"The film...is unkempt and sometimes awkward -- a homely, homemade labor of love that's loosely structured as an investigative procedural." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 4, 2007	'Tis Autumn - The Search for Jackie Paris (2007)	86%
	"Revolver disappoints." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 4, 2007	Revolver (2007)	16%

	"Chronicle might be utterly uncompromising in its "you are there" visceral style�or just unresourceful. I tend toward the latter reading." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 28, 2007	Chronicle of an Escape (2007)	60%

	"Though the storytelling is haphazard, artistry often transcends mere good intentions." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 6, 2007	Holly (2007)	62%
	"*If you evaluate Darfur Now* against the goals it sets for itself -- as a stirring call to action -- it must be considered lacking.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Nov 2, 2007	Darfur Now (2007)	69%
	"The argument can be made that the subject's urgency excuses the need for artfulness; the opposite, of course, is true." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 30, 2007	Darfur Now (2007)	69%
	"This is great filmmaking in the sense that overplayed virtuoso guitar shredding is great music -- which is to say, not at all." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 23, 2007	The Living and the Dead (2006)	90%
	"This is the barbaric yawp of the Soviet film industry circa 1968, an entertainment A-bomb test announcing to the world: 'Here is what we are capable of.'" -- Village Voice Posted Oct 16, 2007	War and Peace (1968)	100%
	"*Beneath the 1950�s seemingly placid exterior of Ozzie and Harriet* normalcy, there were -- brace yourself! -- sinister undercurrents at work.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Oct 16, 2007	The Girl Next Door (2007)	69%
