4/4	"Morris explores the reality of Abu Ghraib with a visceral intensity that straightforward reportage could never allow." -- Seattle Times Posted May 16, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
2.5/4	"The only thing missing is an anime sequence, but the whole thing's a big cartoon anyway." -- Seattle Times Posted May 2, 2008	Maiko Haaaan!!! (2007)	n/a
3/4	"More often than not, the red balloon appears as a silent, benevolent witness to ethereal moments that [director] Hou has taken great care to capture." -- Seattle Times Posted May 2, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	80%
2/4	"What you get, in the end, is a pair of fine performances (from Thurman and Wood) and a technically well-made film that arrives at a foregone conclusion." -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
2/4	"Hey, at least you don't have to ask what it's about, right?" -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	36%
3/4	"Bahrani blurs the line between New York reality and fiction so effectively that his scripted films feel vibrantly authentic, as if Bahrani had simply discovered his characters and allowed their lives to proceed with a minimum of directorial intrusion." -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 18, 2008	Chop Shop (2007)	94%
3/4	"Gabarski's low-budget realism is nicely matched to a deceptively stolid performance by Faithfull, who combines infinitely subtle expressions with the smoky, still-sexy voice that made her famous as a '60s pop songbird." -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 11, 2008	Irina Palm (2008)	75%
3/4	"Under the Same Moon combines all the elements of an old-fashioned tear-jerker with the low-key, low-budget intelligence of a carefully crafted indie film." -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 4, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	74%
2.5/4	"Too serious for comedy and too improbable to achieve much impact as social melodrama, it works best as a showcase for its actors, all of whom bring more depth to the material than it achieves on its own." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 28, 2008	Lost in Beijing (2008)	47%
2.5/4	"CJ7 is wildly entertaining at times, but when it comes to telling an actual story, Chow could use some tutoring from the clever folks at Pixar." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 14, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
3/4	"If nothing else, it's a welcomed alternative to the more straightforward and serious film that Spielberg is likely to deliver." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 14, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
3.5/4	"Helvetica is one of those rare films in which the exploration of a specific topic leads to expanding horizons of perception." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 7, 2008	Helvetica (2007)	88%
3/4	"*There are moments in City of Men* that feel so vividly accurate that you may find yourself ducking from the gunfire.*" -- Seattle Times* Posted Feb 29, 2008	City of Men (2008)	77%
3/4	"In a remarkably assured, no-frills feature debut, Brazilian documentarian Chico Teixeira draws a vivid portrait of marital and familial dysfunction." -- Seattle Times Posted Feb 22, 2008	Alice's House (2008)	88%
2.5/4	"Summer Love feels more like a haphazard assembly of loose-knit components, jumbled together with obvious affinity for all varieties of a distinctly American genre." -- Seattle Times Posted Feb 8, 2008	Dead Man's Bounty (2007)	42%
2/4	"Even casual horror buffs have seen it all before." -- Seattle Times Posted Feb 8, 2008	Shrooms (2006)	14%

3/4	"The film's father-son friction grows occasionally repetitious, but it springs from a sensitive, well-written melodrama that earns its emotions with tender sincerity." -- Seattle Times Posted Jan 4, 2008	Sunflower (2005)	62%
1.5/4	"The movie's convoluted hide-and-seek plot also demands a White House break-in that makes about as much sense as subprime mortgage rates." -- Seattle Times Posted Dec 21, 2007	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
2.5/4	"The Sasquatch Gang may not fully qualify as an undiscovered gem, but it's got some dynamite all its own." -- Seattle Times Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Sasquatch Gang (2007)	46%
2.5/4	"*Despite its best intentions, Holly* never achieves the dramatic clarity it needs to put its human suffering into galvanizing perspective.*" -- Seattle Times* Posted Nov 30, 2007	Holly (2007)	62%
3/4	"If you're on this movie's wavelength, you may find yourself unexpectedly moved by its cumulative effect." -- Seattle Times Posted Nov 9, 2007	Quixotic (2007)	n/a
3.5/4	"Watching this impeccably crafted melodrama, you feel grateful for a veteran filmmaker who serves a gripping story with a confident efficiency that's lean, mean and focused like a laser." -- Seattle Times Posted Nov 2, 2007	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	88%
2.5/4	"What compelled Kapur to film half the movie through scrims, curtains, screens and arches? How can you appreciate human drama when you're constantly being distracted by the 16th-century equivalent of Architectural Digest?" -- Seattle Times Posted Oct 12, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
3/4	"As poet of heartbreak, Shinkai could be accused of treacly mush (the voice-overs are a bit florid, and the saccharine piano score doesn't help), but he's got a delicate touch with sentiment that will have receptive viewers reaching for a Kleenex." -- Seattle Times Posted Oct 5, 2007	5 Centimeters per Second (2007)	n/a
3/4	"As always, Buscemi masters his portrayal of needy desperation, but he still makes Les admirable for his capacity to go with the flow." -- Seattle Times Posted Oct 5, 2007	Delirious (2007)	85%
2.5/4	"Anyone can grasp the issues explored in Jonroy's comedy, and occasional missteps are easily forgiven when something new (along with a feast of great-looking food) is being brought to the table." -- Seattle Times Posted Oct 5, 2007	David & Layla (2007)	50%
2.5/4	"When it works, it works like a charm." -- Seattle Times Posted Sep 28, 2007	Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)	67%
3/4	"If you're receptive to its challenge, you'll find little miracles from start to finish." -- Seattle Times Posted Sep 28, 2007	Apart From That (2006)	n/a
4/4	"It thoughtfully illuminates a seemingly unsolvable problem while proving that one person really can make a difference." -- Seattle Times Posted Sep 28, 2007	Angels in the Dust (2007)	82%

3/4	"*An irresistible Japanese import, Hula Girls* is a crowd-pleaser so comfortable with its own clichés that it goes down smoother than a mai tai on Maui.*" -- Seattle Times* Posted Sep 21, 2007	Hula Girls (2007)	50%
3.5/4	"It's an eyes-wide-open account of tenacity and triumph for parents and children alike. Considering the dramatic rise in the number of children born with autism, it's a film that everyone should see and appreciate." -- Seattle Times Posted Sep 14, 2007	Autism: The Musical (2008)	n/a
3/4	"*It's obviously more fun to watch Czech Dream* than it was to experience the deception firsthand.*" -- Seattle Times* Posted Sep 7, 2007	Czech Dream (2007)	82%

3.5/4	"As timeless as the human condition." -- Seattle Times Posted Aug 17, 2007	Killer of Sheep (1977)	97%
3/4	"It's an exercise in hero worship that couldn't be more justified, even though Wiesenthal would have been modestly embarrassed by the honor." -- Seattle Times Posted Aug 10, 2007	I Have Never Forgotten You (2007)	81%
3/4	"*Unlike other recent films about the plight of Africa, Bamako* channels its outrage more directly, yet with greater subtlety, by recruiting real-life witnesses to Africa's economic crises.*" -- Seattle Times* Posted Aug 10, 2007	Bamako (2006)	84%
3/4	"Anything but comforting. With its depiction of bestial behavior and shocking wartime violence, it's the kind of film that polarizes viewers through the raw power of its imagery." -- Seattle Times Posted Aug 3, 2007	Flanders (2006)	71%
3/4	"As observers we can project our own fantasies onto Ben's, and [director] Ellis enhances this dreamy effect with low-budget ingenuity, like cleverly executing location changes in the same unbroken shot." -- Seattle Times Posted Jul 20, 2007	Cashback (2007)	44%
2.5/4	"*If you're getting the impression that Dynamite Warrior* is insanely plotted for deliberate hilarity, you're right.*" -- Seattle Times* Posted Jul 13, 2007	Dynamite Warrior (2007)	67%
2/4	"Walking to Werner flirts with becoming an ordeal." -- Seattle Times Posted Jun 29, 2007	Walking to Werner (2007)	38%
