Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
1/4	"*When the characters in Married Life* cry out for help, the entire mise-en-sc�ne stifles them with irony.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Oct 19, 2007	Married Life (2008)	55%
3.5/4	"A fully subjective probe into the consciousness of a young man and a generous display of artistic empathy." -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 11, 2007	Paranoid Park (2008)	76%
3/4	"Most of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead works so well as a fatalistic, post-Tarantino neo-noir that the last third's attempt to frame the drama as King Lear-level tragedy plays as an unnecessary reach." -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 8, 2007	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	88%
2/4	"To borrow the film's vernacular, the words never stab into the soul." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2007	Romance of Astree and Celadon (2008)	100%
	"An uncomfortable intermingling of message movie and gross-out comedy, a sporadically funny vehicle that indicts its audience for laughing. Come on, guys. You can't have your fun and eat it too." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 28, 2005	The Ringer (2005)	40%
	"Watching the quartet doing laundry, playing arcade games, or getting haircuts evokes the banality of road life far too accurately, and at 105 minutes, the film hardly leaves us wanting more." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 8, 2005	Comedians of Comedy (2006)	44%
	"Unexpectedly resonant." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 11, 2005	Loggerheads (2005)	71%
	"Henry Jaglom's latest study of contemporary female obsessions among a noxious clan of West L.A. bourgeoisie is of more pathological than cinematic interest." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 27, 2005	Going Shopping (2006)	43%
	"Loudmouth Soup perpetuates the same shallow myths about Los Angeles that it pretends to indict." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 20, 2005	Loudmouth Soup (2005)	40%
	"*The timelier elements of Campfire, which cleared house at Israel's Academy Awards this year, are too salient to dismiss." -- Village Voice* Posted Sep 6, 2005	Campfire (2004)	83%
	"Mark my words: There is no way an innocent like Tien and a Meat Loaf�style heartthrob like Bai could ever make a love thing happen." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 23, 2005	Formula 17 (2005)	22%
	"This is a story about the benefits of just showing up. Even at its most sentimental, Riegert's pet project possesses a lived-in integrity that nearly offsets the staleness of the material." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 17, 2005	King Of The Corner (2005)	70%
	"*As education by anthropomorphism goes, Maus* this ain't.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Aug 16, 2005	Valiant (2005)	31%
2.5/4	"A crackerjack B-movie." -- Slant Magazine Posted Aug 11, 2005	Four Brothers (2005)	52%
	"A paean to cinephilia that might goad viewers into questioning the value of film itself." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 26, 2005	Just One Look (2005)	75%
2/4	"Talent and practice isn't enough to realize your dreams. To get on MTV, sometimes you gotta shoot somebody." -- Slant Magazine Posted Jul 13, 2005	Hustle & Flow (2005)	82%
2/4	"plays more like a vanity project from a rich kid who never got to do his share of macho posturing. " -- Slant Magazine Posted Jun 21, 2005	Dallas 362 (2005)	56%
	"An ugly, amateurish film that champions mediocrity in a meta-attempt to justify its own ineptitude." -- Village Voice Posted May 24, 2005	Second Best (2005)	38%
2/4	"There's something unsettling and downright Dickensian about Green's hard-knocks method and proprietary stance." -- Slant Magazine Posted May 22, 2005	Rock School (2005)	82%
	"As cinema, this is standard, on-the-nose PBS fluff, but it's the grade school principal's perfect guilt inducement tool for slackers who arrive late to class." -- Village Voice Posted May 17, 2005	Stolen Childhoods (2005)	61%
2.5	"Subversive, maybe, but hardly explosive. " -- Slant Magazine Posted Apr 19, 2005	The Interpreter (2005)	59%
	"Girls just wanna have fun, and so does the film, which recycles the requisite moralizing into a breezy, sporadically funny package." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 29, 2005	Beauty Shop (2005)	40%
3/4	"A remarkably focused docu-essay." -- Slant Magazine Posted Mar 21, 2005	Mondovino (2005)	70%
	"John Irvin's Miramaxy paean to Irish Ceili music gets by on infectious geniality." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 9, 2005	The Boys and Girl from County Clare (2005)	44%
2/4	"*Plays like the product of a Woody tribute act that couldn�t decide if it preferred Annie Hall* or Crimes and Misdemeanors.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Feb 23, 2005	Melinda and Melinda (2005)	51%
3/4	"Varda remains a passionate gleaner of history." -- Slant Magazine Posted Feb 16, 2005	Cinevardaphoto (2005)	92%
	"Sounds Disneyfied enough on paper, but the elderly, violin-toting hero's successful attempt to infiltrate his miscreant nephew's mall-punk garage band is too creepy to fulfill the hipness quotient." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 8, 2005	Uncle Nino (2003)	23%
	"Saddled with a ham-fistedly literal title and copious aesthetic ineptitude." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 2, 2005	Swimming Upstream (2005)	61%
1.5/4	"Greenebaum never molds his inchoate elements into any clear shape." -- Slant Magazine Posted Feb 1, 2005	Assisted Living (2005)	77%
	"While Waite's deadpan delivery eases the torture, Stigliano's micro-budget film plays like a preachy relic of the Gorbachev era." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 16, 2004	Bob, Verushka & the Pursuit of Happiness (2000)	43%
	"While the serial-killer sob story subgenre rarely yields a nuanced product, Kai S. Pieck's debut feature finds a plaintive, compelling route to the pathology of 1960s German child-killer J�rgen Bartsch." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 6, 2004	The Child I Never Was (2002)	78%
	"In general, a film in which the protagonist exalts his friend on a city sidewalk, raising his arms to the sky and proclaiming, 'You've worked your magic on me, and I'll never be the same again!' should not be seen by anyone." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 14, 2004	Cowboys & Angels (2005)	57%
	"*The pointlessness of The Cookout* exudes a modicum of charm, but the simple-minded mess still lacks the wit and moral weight of an episode of Family Matters.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Sep 7, 2004	The Cookout (2004)	5%
	"Successfully amalgamates Henry Jaglom's Hollywood- home-movie aesthetic, ego-skewering satire, and a measured understanding of the kinship between love and risk." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 8, 2004	Frankie & Johnny are Married (2004)	70%
	"*This inane debut feature is based around neon-suffused stock surfing footage from a Compaq commercial, so it's a notable accomplishment that Off the Lip* succeeds at being laughably highfalutin.*" -- Village Voice* Posted May 4, 2004	Off the Lip (2004)	25%
