3/6
 
"It’s the film equivalent of a weary shrug – capturing the national mood at a moment when we’d all prefer some mood enhancers." -- Time Out

"When everyone finally shuts up, the silence is startling." -- Time Out

The Puffy Chair (2006)76%
/
4/6
 
"Such watchful reticence takes a bold, confident filmmaker." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 26, 2007
 
Old Joy (2006)85%
/
 
"Bill Nighy is stunning in the small but pivotal role of Sheba's devastated husband, and Dench locates the desperate pathos in Barbara's malevolence." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 25, 2007
 
Notes on a Scandal (2006)87%
/
 
"Gilliam’s brash disregard for conventional narrative rhythms and structures is one of the many thrills of his best work, but here his freewheeling navigations veer so far off-road that the passenger is left exhausted and bewildered." -- Time Out

Fanfan la Tulipe (2003)20%
/
 
"Cahiers-savvy cinephiles will recognize Fanfan as the type of handsome prestige production that the French New Wave overthrew in the early '60s, but this example of the 'cinéma de qualité' is hardly a musty artifact." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 18, 2006
 
Fanfan La Tulipe (1952)78%
/
 
"Happily, Fey and Waters gently tweak the studios’ usual high-gloss caricature of adolescence and aim for acutely hilarious and surprisingly empathic sociology." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Mean Girls (2004)85%
/
 
"The film holds few surprises, though it builds a remarkable level of suspense during the fait-accompli interrogation scenes, and is a well-intended commemoration of a courageous young woman." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005)87%
/
 
"The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Alien vs. Predator (2004)22%
/
 
"The film succeeds as pure sensation, an exacting distillation of fear." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
War of the Worlds (2005)73%

"Coolly absorbing, nonchalantly cynical." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Anatomy of a Murder (1959)100%
/
 
"Aiming at all targets and hitting none of them, the movie is as harmless and inconsequential as a candy cigarette." -- Time Out

Thank You For Smoking (2006)86%

"The moral is that money can indeed buy happiness." -- Time Out

Surviving Christmas (2004)7%
/
 
"Philibert is most enamored of the museum's vast collection of unheimlich mammalian heads and grants them many a haunting close-up." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 6, 2006
 
Animals and More Animals (1994)n/a
/
 
"Fun and free-associative, the movie ventures to Rio, Miami, Montpellier, the Dead and Black seas, and elsewhere, keeping a visual diary of lumpy beach bods, boardwalk architecture, and celebrity sightings..." -- Village Voice
Posted Jun 6, 2006
 
Ice/Sea (2005)n/a
/
 
"As a creator of characters, Holofcener has strong instincts for emblematic situations and telling habits, yet she takes a reticent approach to development -- she observes her subjects closely, but doesn’t necessarily interpret." -- Time Out
Posted May 25, 2006
 
Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
 
"Albeit a tad repetitive, Shakespeare Behind Bars succeeds in humanizing men we might too easily label as monsters, and provides a solid argument in favor of prisons that place rehabilitation above retribution." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 11, 2006
 
Shakespeare Behind Bars (2006)92%
/
 
"Per usual, Gitai largely eschews exposition, but his reticence sits awkwardly beside his penchant for saddling his deliberately stereotyped figures with trite, unwieldy speeches and symbolic-ironic biographical data." -- Village Voice
Posted Apr 4, 2006
 
Free Zone (2006)24%
/
 
"The documentary holds no illusions about insanity as a career move; there's a whiff of the freak show in Johnston's latter-day concerts but never in Feuerzeig's approach." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 28, 2006
 
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)87%
/
 
"The movie carefully obscures its attitude toward these stunning Samaritans, or so it would seem." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 21, 2006
 
The Beauty Academy of Kabul (2006)87%
/
 
"This sly, engrossing doc is an expert riposte to smug proponents of the fetterless free market." -- Village Voice

Mardi Gras: Made in China (2006)67%
/
 
"The rock hero starts out dead and so does the movie." -- Village Voice
Posted Mar 21, 2006
 
Stoned (2006)15%
/
 
"Carion is no Jean Renoir, but he does strike an appealingly low key of tender, faintly goofy affinity between the combatants." -- Village Voice
Posted Feb 28, 2006
 
Joyeux Noël (2006)78%
/
 
"That the story can be so easily transposed to the post-apartheid present day is one of the movie's saddest inferences." -- Village Voice
Posted Feb 21, 2006
 
Tsotsi (2006)81%
/
 
"The film is so grindingly predictable that I was writing out a full plot synopsis in my notebook before it was half over, though the thick grains of Terry Stacey's photography and Deschanel's understated performance add a little kick." -- Village Voice
Posted Feb 14, 2006
 
Winter Passing (2006)41%
/
 
"This film imagines its viewers to be smart, possessed of a decent attention span and game for a challenge. It doesn’t happen all that often." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Primer (2004)72%
/
 
"The emotional spectrum has widened, too, encompassing buoyant mirth and heroic tragedy." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
X2: X-Men United (2003)87%
/
 
"This film does more than make you think about masculinity, it makes you see it -- in a way that's relevant to all men, not just Bronx boxers." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Raging Bull (1980)98%
/
 
"Mitigating factors: a carefully curated sampling of J-Lo butt cleavage, and an arrhythmic Christopher Walken cameo which momentarily diverts the doomed ship from collision with the iceberg." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Gigli (2003)6%
/
 
"This Good Woman is an amiable drama queen, sluggish of gait and reliant on retail therapy." -- Village Voice
Posted Jan 31, 2006
 
A Good Woman (2005)39%
/
 
"Works marvel after marvel in expressing the bewildering beauty and existential horror of being trapped inside one's own addled mind, and in allegorising the self-preserving amnesia of a broken but hopeful heart." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 26, 2006
 
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)94%
/
 
"The clumsy staging might not grate so much if the tone weren't so self-congratulatory." -- Village Voice

Casanova (2005)42%

"Its hieroglyphics are vividly rendered, but Bee Season never manages to spell them out." -- Village Voice

Bee Season (2005)41%
/
 
"Director Joe Wright also coordinates a delightfully cohesive acting ensemble." -- Village Voice
Posted Nov 8, 2005
 
Pride and Prejudice (2005)85%
/
 
"A wan, world-weary representation of anomie, loneliness, and low expectations, dressed up in the ill-fitting designer duds of the studio rom-com." -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 18, 2005
 
Shopgirl (2005)62%
/
 
"Given the battle's enormous toll on the women's physical and psychological health, it's a perplexing irony that the movie 'inspired by' the case suffers such a bizarre failure of nerve." -- Village Voice

North Country (2005)68%
