"On both sides of the Mobile Mardi Gras divide, people seem to be edging toward a desire for reconciliation, but there remain significant differences about what that might entail." -- Salon.com

The Order of Myths (2008)100%
/
 
"I want to persuade you to see Baghead, but I don't want to overhype it, because in many ways it's a delicate construction best served as a surprise." -- Salon.com
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Baghead (2008)87%
/
 
"Has terrific Siberian location work, a carefully constructed atmosphere of creeping dread and an outstanding performance by Emily Mortimer." -- Salon.com
Posted Jul 24, 2008
 
Transsiberian (2008)85%
/
 
"It's a richly rewarding visual and human experience in all its bleakness." -- Salon.com
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Human Condition, The - Pt. 1 - No Greater Love (1958)80%
/
 
"This delicate, delightful and nearly note-perfect debut feature from young Thai director Aditya Assarad offers more evidence of the tremendous film renaissance underway in East Asia." -- Salon.com
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Wonderful Town (2008)91%
/
 
"Investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre's film is fairly standard British TV product, closer to a glorified 60 Minutes segment then to cinematic art. But never mind -- its subject is, as he might say, feckin' amazing." -- Salon.com
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
A Very British Gangster (2008)65%
/
 
"In the secret, unwritten history of alternative American culture [Mackenzie] stands as a hero, alongside the Indians of Bunker Hill and the generations before them." -- Salon.com

"Tremendously acted and shot with memorable confidence, Jar City deserves a much wider release than it's apparently going to get." -- Salon.com

"The movie exerts a certain appeal without ever being convincing." -- Salon.com
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
Quid Pro Quo (2008)64%
/
 
"[A] much-celebrated documentary from the festival circuit." -- Salon.com
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008)96%
/
 
"Grandiose claims have been made in some quarters for this nasty, economical little film, but it does what it sets out to do pretty well." -- Salon.com
Posted May 30, 2008
 
Stuck (2008)71%
/
 
"An exceptionally well-made example of the kind of delirious, semi-Gothic, overcooked melodrama filmmakers from the Boot have long specialized in." -- Salon.com
Posted May 30, 2008
 
The Unknown Woman (2008)59%
/
 
"The Cannes Che, probably a film no one will see again, is a big, sprawling, ambitious mess. It's less a grand-opera mess than a beautifully constructed machine whose parts don't all quite work together." -- Salon.com
Posted May 22, 2008
 
Chevolution (2008)n/a
/
 
"Even in its inflated and creaky fourth incarnation, the Indy series retains a certain unassuming quality, at least compared to Hollywood's recent monstrous productions." -- Salon.com
Posted May 18, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%
/
 
"A marvelously rich visual, intellectual and emotional experience, one that I expect will grow deeper with repeat viewings." -- Salon.com
Posted May 16, 2008
 
A Christmas Tale (2008)n/a
/
 
"Given that this is a French film, there's an unmistakable edge to its satirical portrayal of postwar East-West relations." -- Salon.com
Posted May 16, 2008
 
OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)78%
/
 
"[A] hilarious, smart and heartbreaking coming-of-age drama." -- Salon.com
Posted May 16, 2008
 
Reprise (2008)88%
/
 
"Earnest and dreary." -- Salon.com
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Blindness (2008)n/a
/
 
"Stevenson is so incandescent -- so funny, so vulnerable, so awkwardly sexy...that she lifts writer-director Joan Carr-Wiggin's ordinary middle-aged rom-com above all its abundant clichés." -- Salon.com
Posted May 9, 2008
 
A Previous Engagement (2008)35%
/
 
"So pretty and so utterly lifeless you can almost smell the embalming fluid coming off the screen." -- Salon.com

Before the Rains (2008)45%
/
 
"It might just be the movie this war has been waiting for." -- Salon.com
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Battle for Haditha (2008)63%
/
 
"An intimate, atmospheric character study with a lingering erotic charge, Lucía Puenzo's XXY is one of the year's most impressive directing debuts." -- Salon.com
Posted May 7, 2008
 
XXY (2008)72%

"[Harmony] Korine hasn't released a feature film in nine years, and his new Mister Lonely is richer and sweeter than anything he's ever made." -- Salon.com

/
 
"Delightful and finally transcendent documentary." -- Salon.com
Posted May 5, 2008
 
Man on Wire (2008)100%

Posted May 5, 2008
 
My Winnipeg (2008)97%
/
 
"Ambitious both as to structure and theme, and riveting in mood." -- Salon.com
Posted May 5, 2008
 
Boy A (2008)83%
/
 
"A glossy, enjoyable thriller that isn't quite as tricky or Hitchcockian as it wants to be, Roman de Gare gets by on high style and nice central performances by rubber-faced Dominique Pinon and Audrey Dana." -- Salon.com
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Roman de Gare (2008)88%

"Yung Chang is a Canadian director whose grandparents came from China, and his witty, lovely and profoundly unsettling documentary Up the Yangtze takes him back to the legendary river of his grandfather's homeland, now transformed beyond recognition." -- Salon.com
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Up The Yangtze (2008)95%

"Like so many recent Romanian films, Stuff and Dough is tremendously well made on almost no budget, and blends the rhythms of ordinary life with a subtly ominous atmosphere and elements of thriller." -- Salon.com

Stuff and Dough (2008)67%
/
 
"Takes you on a thrilling and hopeful voyage through a very dark place." -- Salon.com
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
The Dhamma Brothers (2008)82%
/
 
"It's an inelegant experiment that captures many intriguing moments as they pass, but ends up utterly baffled by the question of how its delightful central character becomes a tabloid-ready monster." -- Salon.com
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
Dark Matter (2008)34%
/
 
"What holds together the pulp of this torn-between-two-lovers fantasy is a restrained and elegant cinematic aesthetic." -- Salon.com
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
Never Forever (2008)78%
 No Rating  
"A compact near-masterpiece that combines a slow-motion romantic comedy with a docudrama-style portrait of a remote, nomadic culture as it is gradually eroded by the tides of the 21st century." -- Salon.com
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Tuya's Marriage (2008)88%
/
 
"I appreciated and admired the craftsmanship of Jellyfish more than I loved it, and I found its whimsical, magic-realist touches a bit cloying." -- Salon.com
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Jellyfish (2008)86%
/
 
"A hypnotic and wholly convincing look at teen culture from the inside, with all its courage, cruelty and unspoken codes of silence intact." -- Salon.com
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Water Lilies (2007)79%
/
 
"Even if it badly needs editing, runs almost a half-hour too long and chickens out totally in its final scenes, it's still miles above the Hollywood comedy median." -- Salon.com
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Sex and Death 101 (2008)27%
/
 
"If you liked Rocky Balboa you should be in good shape, since it's exactly the same movie, just aimed at a teeny-tiny-bit younger demographic and with an affectless leading man who avoids hambone acting by not acting at all." -- Salon.com
Posted Mar 19, 2008
 
The Hammer (2008)71%
/
 
"not what it appears to be on the surface." -- Salon.com

"It's a cannily crafted and satisfying entertainment." -- Salon.com
Posted Mar 6, 2008
 
It Always Rains on Sunday (1947)n/a
/
 
"A film that purposefully avoids plot and character conventions, that will transport some viewers into a reverie and drive others to boredom and befuddlement." -- Salon.com
Posted Mar 6, 2008
 
I Don't Hear the Guitar Anymore (1991)n/a
/
 
"It's definitely not to everyone's taste, but the most interesting pictures never are." -- Salon.com
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
In Bruges (2008)80%

"It's a warm midwinter treat." -- Salon.com
Posted Jan 31, 2008
 
Caramel (2008)91%

"Oleg Mutu's deft handheld camerawork and Mungiu's meticulous reconstruction of Ceausescu-era Romania, in all its corruption, hypocrisy and drab cleanliness, create an overweening atmosphere of dread." -- Salon.com
Posted Jan 29, 2008
 
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)96%
/
 
"Another good, no-budget work from New York indie kingpin Larry Fessenden and his production company, Glass Eye Pix." -- Salon.com
Posted Jan 10, 2008
 
Liberty Kid (2007)86%
/
 
"From the first frames of Times and Winds I felt completely captivated, and that Erdem's shots of curtains blowing in a window, or three men having an argument in a field, have a hypnotic power that's not easily summarized." -- Salon.com
Posted Jan 10, 2008
 
Times and Winds (2008)76%

"A marvelously acted and memorably atmospheric picture." -- Salon.com
