"Another wedding-themed romantic comedy that fizzles when it should fizz."
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Made of Honor (2008)12%
/

Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
Married Life (2008)55%
/
 
"The film, aided by Amalric's pitch-perfect performance, reveals the range of Jean-Do's emotional life, his anger, joy and wry humor."
Posted Nov 19, 2007
 
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)94%
/
 
"What could have been cloying or absurd is instead endearing, even if the film is somewhat too long for its conceit."
Posted Oct 4, 2007
 
Lars And The Real Girl (2007)80%
/

The 11th Hour (2007)66%
/

La Petite Lili (2004)68%
/
 
"Winkler's musical valentine to Cole Porter and his genius sets just the right tone, a harmonious blend of intelligence and sentiment, intensified by a song score to sigh for and the best film performance of Kevin Kline's estimable career."

De-Lovely (2004)49%
/

Posted Feb 7, 2001
 
The House of Mirth (2000)82%

Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mystery, Alaska (1999)38%
/
 
"Allows the tango, in its myriad expressive forms, to take center stage, telling the story and igniting the senses with its sinuous, elegant moves."
