	"Sienna Miller captures much of Edie�s physical manner and some of her voice (though she�s nowhere near deep enough), but there�s nothing she can do with material that requires her to mope and pout for the bulk of her screen time." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 28, 2006	Factory Girl (2007)	19%
	"Ozpetek joins the ranks of those gay filmmakers who have used the emigre experience to explore same-sex culture in ways that elude the more nationally settled." -- Dallas Observer Posted Feb 14, 2003	His Secret Life (2002)	74%

	While this has the making of melodrama, the filmmaker cuts against this natural grain, producing a work that's more interested in asking questions than in answering them. -- New Times Posted Aug 15, 2002	All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002)	68%

	*What's most memorable about Circuit* is that it's shot on digital video, whose tiny camera enables Shafer to navigate spaces both large ... and small ... with considerable aplomb.** -- New Times Posted May 30, 2002	Circuit (2002)	21%
	While centered on the life experiences of a particular theatrical family, this marvelous documentary touches -- ever so gracefully -- on the entire history of the Yiddish theater, both in America and Israel. -- New Times Posted May 23, 2002	The Komediant (2002)	88%
	A vehicle for Jean Gabin whose quicksilver charm hasn't aged in over 60 years. -- New Times Posted Apr 18, 2002	Pepe Le Moko (1937)	100%
	Beautifully produced. -- New Times Posted Apr 11, 2002	Esther Kahn (2002)	48%
	It's a subtle mood piece in which a man's collapse is examined so rigorously that one almost hopes for a murder to come along and break the tension. -- New Times Posted Apr 11, 2002	Time Out (2002)	95%

	While this amiable romantic comedy ... is sure to please most of its target audience, others are going to leave the theater humming that Peggy Lee classic 'Is That All There Is?' -- New Times Posted Nov 15, 2001	Punks (2001)	50%

	All involved seem keyed into the subtextual subtleties of a story that, while simple on the surface, is exceedingly rich underneath. -- New Times Posted Oct 4, 2001	The Debut (2000)	73%
