	"More interested in finding fresh ways to stage execution scenes than in finding meaning behind the human urge for self-appointed righting of wrongs, pic is stuffed with effects that have no lasting impact." -- Variety Posted May 9, 2008	The Boondock Saints (1999)	18%
	"Director Roger Spottiswoode�s skills for physical production outpace his ability to generate vitality and bring out the best in his actors." -- Variety Posted May 5, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	n/a
	"A generally dull and unmemorable adaptation of Anne Michaels' extraordinary prose-poetry novel." -- Variety Posted May 2, 2008	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	59%
	"*Made with the same quality of immediacy as her debut Half-Price, Charly* is more assured if slightly underdone, but emboldened by Julie-Marie Parmentier's strong sangfroid performance.*" -- Variety* Posted May 1, 2008	Charly (2007)	n/a
No Rating	"An urban thriller so abounding in contempo mood and memorably savage violence that it will be read broadly as Dutcher's farewell to Latter-day Saints cinema." -- Variety Posted Apr 10, 2008	Falling (2008)	n/a
	"Exudes observed experience." -- Variety Posted Apr 9, 2008	Chronic Town (2008)	n/a
	"Pic reps a good example of docu filmmaking on the run, where the makers have no idea where their subject will take them, and its best moments are those where events happen in front of the lens." -- Variety Posted Apr 1, 2008	Mario's Story (2007)	n/a
	"Samuels' own enjoyment for midnighters comes through in his funky visual design -- visually spunky for a clips-and-talking-heads film -- and in the energetic editing." -- Variety Posted Feb 26, 2008	Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream (2007)	88%
	"Decently made though unremarkable." -- Variety Posted Feb 12, 2008	The Women of Brukman (2008)	n/a
	"Resembles a Tony Scott movie without any of his intelligence and cinematic invention." -- Variety Posted Feb 12, 2008	Perro Come Perro (2008)	n/a
	"Plays like a wan workshop pic, but could be the basis for future prospects in a Central American country with little previous moviemaking activity." -- Variety Posted Feb 12, 2008	The Wind and the Water (2008)	n/a
	"Elegantly conceived." -- Variety Posted Feb 12, 2008	Recycle (2008)	n/a
	"A model of non-dogmatic filmmaking on a highly charged topic." -- Variety Posted Feb 1, 2008	Be Like Others (2008)	n/a
	"An overly calculated cautionary tale." -- Variety Posted Jan 30, 2008	Pretty Bird (2008)	n/a
	"*The titular rocker-poet gets a suitable portrait in Steven Sebring's Patti Smith: Dream of Life, which runs radically against the grain of American-made pop music docs." -- Variety* Posted Jan 30, 2008	Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008)	n/a
	"A doc with the thrust of entertainment, but the content of a thoughtfully researched book." -- Variety Posted Jan 30, 2008	Made in America (2008)	n/a
	"Anywhere USA is dressed up in postmodern smarty pants, only to resolve as an excessively overlong personal project that chases its own tail." -- Variety Posted Jan 30, 2008	Anywhere, USA (2008)	n/a
	"*Apparently so personal that it feels as though it were hatched in a hermetically sealed capsule, Boaz Yakin's Death in Love* is as ambitious as it is stultifying and deadly to watch.*" -- Variety* Posted Jan 29, 2008	Death In Love (2008)	n/a
	"*James Marsh's Man on Wire* erupts onscreen as one of the most wildly entertaining docs of recent years.*" -- Variety* Posted Jan 28, 2008	Man On Wire (2008)	100%
	"There's a loose, fluid rhythm that courses through the film like an elixir." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 24, 2008	Santouri (2007)	n/a
	"[Star Brian] Cox calmly registers ranges of steely determination, fatherly care and regret-filled sadness with great authority." -- Variety Posted Jan 24, 2008	The Escapist (2008)	80%
	"Pic's tendency to lecture on the power of faith and religion and on the demerits of science seems to assume an almost childlike audience that needs to be spoon-fed Pablum." -- Variety Posted Jan 23, 2008	Henry Poole Is Here (2008)	n/a
	"[Subject Kimberly] Roberts' vid reps some of the more extensive by any Katrina survivor." -- Variety Posted Jan 22, 2008	Trouble the Water (2008)	n/a
	"Layered with all types of visual decoration to make the torrent of discussion play cinematically, and, though the device is now a familiar one, certain touches such as B&W animation lend a creepy and effective mood." -- Variety Posted Jan 22, 2008	Secrecy (2008)	n/a
	"Unafraid to show herself weathered by the cold, harsh elements and never working to make auds love her, [Star Meliss] Leo builds the kind of perf that invites concentration, and then high respect." -- Variety Posted Jan 22, 2008	Frozen River (2008)	80%
	"An extraordinary debut." -- Variety Posted Jan 22, 2008	Ballast (2008)	n/a
	"*Like a wine spread with more samples than any tongue can handle, Bottle Shock* contains too much to manage it all well, including some painfully corny sections, but has a charming aftertaste.*" -- Variety* Posted Jan 22, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	n/a
	"Pic lacks visual finesse and stylistic aplomb." -- Variety Posted Jan 22, 2008	Reversion (2008)	n/a
	"This half-comic, half-serious account of two Irish hitmen who are sent to the titular Belgian burg to cool their heels after a job is moderately fair as a nutty character study, but overly far-fetched once the action kicks in." -- Variety Posted Jan 18, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	78%
	"Director Mark Pellington hardly lets a moment pass without suggesting some bad vibes creeping onto the edges of the screen, but he's let down by Richard Hatem's script." -- Variety Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Mothman Prophecies (2002)	52%
	"*As a work capturing the atmosphere of life on Hollywood Boulevard, Johnny 316* offers up a genuine time capsule of the street's seedy, late-'90s condition before recent renovations.** " -- Variety Posted Jan 4, 2008	Johnny 316 (2007)	n/a
	"The raw material would seem to be in place for a strong, moving contemporary tragedy, but scene after endless scene fails to come to life." -- Variety Posted Nov 30, 2007	Badland (2007)	20%
	"Touching if by-the-numbers." -- Variety Posted Nov 24, 2007	Man in the Chair (2007)	50%
	"Unexpectedly amusing and inevitably disturbing." -- Variety Posted Nov 17, 2007	Look (2007)	61%
	"Napoleon [Dynamite] fans will never admit to it, but Sasquatch is funnier, hinging on a bogus Bigfoot sighting and some hilariously stupid dudes." -- Variety Posted Nov 13, 2007	The Sasquatch Gang (2007)	46%
	"One seriously confused documentary." -- Variety Posted Nov 6, 2007	Mr. Untouchable (2007)	74%
	"Just as Jigsaw tests his victims, the franchise�s own test will be whether such suspension can be maintained, or if matters lapse into a torture chamber of self-parody." -- Variety Posted Oct 29, 2007	Saw IV (2007)	19%
A	"*To state it in the bluntest terms, Sidney Lumet's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead* is one of the great American films of the past decade, and the crowning masterpiece of Lumet's long career.*" -- Christian Science Monitor* Posted Oct 25, 2007	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	88%
C-	"*Bad movies invariably stem from bad ideas, and the worst of the several rancid ideas packed inside of Dan in Real Life* is that Steve Carell could be the new Alan Alda.*" -- Christian Science Monitor* Posted Oct 25, 2007	Dan in Real Life (2007)	64%
	"Even the long, long waits between goals in a match on the pitch are more enthralling." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 18, 2007	Futbaal: The Price of Dreams (2007)	n/a
	"Despite efforts to show the composer's domestic life, including his Buddhist-influenced daily exercise routines, there's no thoughtful discussion of what's behind the serialist music style Glass has brought to worldwide attention." -- Variety Posted Oct 2, 2007	Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008)	64%
	"*...some auds might even momentarily confuse Battle* with a docu, and the actors play a major role in creating this illusion.*" -- Variety* Posted Sep 19, 2007	Battle for Haditha (2008)	57%
	"An assured example of storytelling artistry." -- Variety Posted Sep 17, 2007	The Voyeurs (2007)	n/a
	"Emotionally deeper than Corbijn's pic, [Control] in its portrayal, using fine one-on-one interviews to reveal the terrible regrets and guilt that wracked everyone in and near the band about [leadsinger Ian] Curtis." -- Variety Posted Sep 17, 2007	Joy Division - Under Review (2006)	n/a
	"Depth of character, such a distinctive quality of Ali's book, is sacrificed for simpler strokes and shallower dimensions, with an undue emphasis placed by helmer Sarah Gavron and lenser Robbie Ryan on gorgeous pictures." -- Variety Posted Sep 13, 2007	Brick Lane (2008)	70%
	"... a cogent, almost intuitive study of female self-identity and body perception, and would be inconceivable without star Silvia Perez." -- Variety Posted Sep 10, 2007	Encarnaci�n (2007)	n/a
	"*Despite both Steen as a thesp and Jensen as a writer making their early international impact with Dogma works, the austere verities are long gone here." -- Variety* Posted Sep 10, 2007	With Your Permission (2007)	20%
	"Comic touches are obvious and broad, while helmer Joe Menendez lacks the essential energy for a vital heist entertainment." -- Variety Posted Sep 1, 2007	Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007)	62%
	"*This is a radically different Sleuth, one that feels at times like Pinter self-parody." -- Variety* Posted Aug 31, 2007	Sleuth (2007)	35%
	"Alternately glib, superficial and amusing, pic vainly attempts to absorb some degree of Serbian irony into a story that's unavoidably lessened by its privileged American vantage point." -- Variety Posted Aug 31, 2007	The Hunting Party (2007)	52%
