"For those willing to enter its dangerous world, the rewards of this film are great."
Posted Sep 27, 2007
 
Lust, Caution (2007)70%
/
 
"At film's end, we happily say adieu to a pair who deserve each other more than they imagine."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Interview (2007)57%
/
 
"Even the lineup of superlative thesps can't mask the pandering, manipulative ploys at the film's cheesy heart."
Posted Jun 29, 2007
 
Evening (2007)27%
/
 
"[Moore] turns potentially dry material into a film that's funny, poignant, and a call to arms."
Posted Jun 25, 2007
 
Sicko (2007)93%
/
 
"Those willing to stay with this often demanding film, though, will find an unusually balanced view that celebrates not only Mariane's courage, but the Pakistanis who fought valiantly on her behalf."
Posted Jun 6, 2007
 
A Mighty Heart (2007)77%
/
 
"David Duchovny as the writer delivers a turn so listless and bland, you want to goose him with a cattle prod."
Posted Apr 6, 2007
 
The TV Set (2007)65%
/
 
"Pacey and entertaining, it's anchored by a zesty turn from Richard Gere, and it deftly evokes, through music and news clips, the early '70s of Nixon and anti-war protests."
Posted Mar 29, 2007
 
The Hoax (2007)85%
/
 
"This film leaves you hoping for a project truly worthy of Gordon-Levitt's gifts."
Posted Mar 29, 2007
 
The Lookout (2007)87%
/
 
"The film generates such visceral heat, the whole notion of genre becomes irrelevant."
Posted Mar 9, 2007
 
After The Wedding (2007)87%
/
 
"The film will likely divide viewers, striking many as a self-indulgent wallow, others as a rewarding envelope-pusher. In fact, it combines elements of both."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Last Days (2005)60%
/
 
"Viewers here can't help but respond to the raw emotions and acting ability of the largely nonprofessional cast."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Games of Love and Chance (2005)76%
/
 
"This powerful film celebrates individual acts of conscience in barbarous times."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
The Ninth Day (2005)82%
/
 
"The auteur's unbeatable weirdness here mutates into preciosity."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Broken Flowers (2005)86%
/
 
"For all its Sundance cool factor, the latest from this gifted director glances off the viewer without leaving much impact."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
 
"Montiel's first effort remains episodic and inward, failing to build a bridge to the viewer."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)75%
/
 
"An innovative ride that carries the viewer into a world familiar from genre films and the novels of Dashiell Hammett, yet quite unlike anything we've seen before."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Brick (2006)78%
/
 
"Its novelistic breadth, pitched intensity and on-the-fly shooting style pull the viewer smack-dab into the middle of these lives."
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Kings and Queen (2005)87%
/
 
"Preachy, schematic and numbingly predictable."
Posted Feb 28, 2007
 
Black Snake Moan (2007)66%
/
 
"Miraculously manages to be not merely ferociously partisan, but dramatically compelling and a feast for the minds of moviegoers, not overly nourished these days."
Posted Feb 20, 2007
 
Bamako (2006)84%
/
 
"In a triumph of filmmaking, Arnold has endowed a tale of female rage with disquieting social resonance."
Posted Feb 12, 2007
 
Red Road (2007)89%
/
 
"A soaring, tragic tale of transcendence and forgiveness that resonates long after the credits roll."
Posted Dec 19, 2006
 
The Painted Veil (2006)74%
/
 
"Will prove more compelling as a technical study for Film Studies majors than as an entertainment for a general audience."
Posted Dec 14, 2006
 
The Good German (2006)33%
/
 
"This Gallic tourist-porn feels as stale as yesterday's baguette."
Posted Dec 1, 2006
 
A Good Year (2006)26%
/
 
"Clooney confidently lasers away the characters' personal lives to focus on Murrow's maneuverings."
Posted Oct 6, 2005
 
Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)94%
/
 
"A film that brilliantly works the intersection of the personal and the political."
Posted Mar 24, 2005
 
Walk on Water (2005)73%
/
 
"Succeeds as an exercise for the excellent Nichols, even when its theatrical origins fight with the medium of film."
Posted Dec 8, 2004
 
Closer (2004)69%
/
 
"It's Depp, sporting a Scottish accent, who carries the film with his daringly underplayed portrait of a man more at home in idyllic forests and lagoons than his own drawing room."
Posted Dec 8, 2004
 
Finding Neverland (2004)83%
/
 
"Offers up a brave, spot-on portrait of one man pulverized by the system during the Watergate era."
Posted Dec 8, 2004
 
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)69%
/
 
"This is a middling venture destined for English lit courses."
Posted Sep 4, 2004
 
Vanity Fair (2004)50%
/
 
"Rises above its own shortcomings through Heath Ledger's electric embodiment of Ned."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Ned Kelly (2004)55%
/
 
"This foreign import is more than just a suspenseful wartime story; there's a lack of cynicism, a willingness to embrace human possibility that's as old-fashioned as it is refreshing."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Zelary (2003)72%
/
 
"Should be made mandatory viewing in places low and high."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)83%
/
 
"Cuts it as thinking man's sci-fi, and marks another stretch for the ever-fertile Winterbottom."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Code 46 (2004)52%
/
 
"Offers a startling mix of genres: a memory piece drenched in nostalgia for a lost childhood, clothed in the form of a thriller that grabs you by the throat."
Posted Mar 16, 2004
 
I'm Not Scared (2004)91%
/
 
"Like few filmmakers, Bertolucci captures ... the sexual delirium of youth."
Posted Feb 7, 2004
 
The Dreamers (2004)61%
/
 
"The film's take on filial love is fresh and affecting. Its political savvy yields sharp insights."
Posted Jan 17, 2004
 
Good Bye, Lenin! (2004)89%
/
 
"Despite its surface allure and hi-lit cred, the hero remains opaque, the structure is episodic, and the film never quite attains the epic sweep it aspires to."
Posted Dec 23, 2003
 
Cold Mountain (2003)72%
/
 
"Once you downshift to the film's dreamy rhythms, this multiple prize-winner at Cannes and entry in the 2003 New York Film Festival offers modest rewards."
Posted Dec 20, 2003
 
Distant (2004)89%
/
 
"Through its powerful emotions coupled with exquisite restraint, this 'small' film makes a big impact."
Posted Dec 20, 2003
 
Since Otar Left (2004)98%
/
 
"The psychology feels jarringly anachronistic."
Posted Nov 3, 2003
 
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)71%
/
 
"Swarming with ideas, the film never turns schematic or hectoring."
Posted Nov 3, 2003
 
The Barbarian Invasions (2003)82%
/
 
"Without the sardonic rant of Philip Roth, upon whose novel the film is based, the material plays as stale or preposterous."
Posted Sep 20, 2003
 
The Human Stain (2003)41%
/
 
"Inarritu and his fellow artists have contrived something wondrous, a formally innovative fugue filled with demons and despair that somehow comes down on the side of life."
Posted Sep 16, 2003
 
21 Grams (2003)82%
/
 
"Even burdened with flaws demonlover is an original cyber-thriller with a potent message from the ever-surprising and gifted Assayas."
Posted Sep 16, 2003
 
Demonlover (2003)48%
/
 
"Seldom have grouches, misfits and, yes, nerds seemed so endearing."
Posted Jul 19, 2003
 
American Splendor (2003)94%
/
 
"Swimming Pool is an entertaining act of provocation that lingers in the mind like iridescent fabric: Turn it one way and it yields this; turn it another and it's a different story."
Posted Jun 14, 2003
 
Swimming Pool (2003)85%
/
 
"This full-metal blast at the military is dark, rough-hewn, often hilarious -- and a star-maker for the electric Joaquin Phoenix."
Posted May 1, 2003
 
Buffalo Soldiers (2003)71%
/
 
"A magically dislocated world quite unlike any current filmmaker's, one that provokes laughter, sadness and uplift all at once."
Posted Mar 22, 2003
 
The Man Without a Past (2003)98%
/
 
"Tedious exercise in navel-gazing."
Posted Feb 22, 2003
 
The Safety of Objects (2003)49%
/
 
"Cholodenko has pulled finely calibrated ensemble work from her perfectly cast actors who, despite varied backgrounds, are on the same page and bring a rare authenticity to their interactions."
Posted Feb 22, 2003
 
Laurel Canyon (2003)67%
