" [Maher's] scattershot and ad hominem attacks against many different forms of religious hypocrisy don't add up to a coherent critique, and he's not qualified to provide one." -- Salon.com
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Religulous (2008)66%
/
 
" This third-act redemption raises Towelhead several notches, but it still ends up feeling like a well-acted and well-intentioned after-school special, a long way from the vividness and texture of Ball's television work." -- Salon.com
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Towelhead (2008)47%
/
 
" The film is hilarious in patches, shocking in patches, utterly convincing in patches and close to brilliant in patches." -- Salon.com
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)78%
/
 
" A lovely, warm, unforced film that gives you time to get to know its characters and isn't propelled by any artificial narrative conventions, or for that matter by any Dickensian social outrage." -- Salon.com
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
The Pool (2008)95%
/
 
" Castaneda [star]...gives a towering, Robert Duvall-style performance as a granitic man in late middle age whose internal world of pain and love and knowledge occasionally flickers to the surface." -- Salon.com
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
August Evening (2008)95%
/
 
" A clanking, old-fashioned period drama infused with almost unbearable grief, Claude Miller's film A Secret has an enormous significance in France that it can never possess elsewhere." -- Salon.com
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
Un Secret (2008)76%
/
 
" An elegant, ironic fable with literary origins (a novel by Bohumil Hrabal) that belongs to a distinctive middle-European artistic tradition with a puckish spirit that sometimes seems sweet and at other times ruthless." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
I Served the King of England (2008)81%
/
 
" I'd be saving a spot for it near the top of my 10-best list if the movie hadn't been made 65 years ago." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
Day of Wrath (1943)100%
/
 
" Sukiyaki Western Django is a blood-drenched, dynamite, often hilarious and uniquely weird big-screen entertainment." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
Sukiyaki Western Django (2008)58%
/
 
" What Lessin and Deal provide is a considered structure that places Roberts' footage within a larger social and emotional context as part of a self-defined life, in which Hurricane Katrina was both tragedy and opportunity." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Trouble the Water (2008)97%
/
 
" I can't think of another director who would even have tried to make this mythic wonderland come alive, with its impossibly beautiful actors, lush, bucolic scenery and not even the slightest concession to contemporary notions of realism." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Romance of Astree and Celadon (2008)63%
/
 
" It's literally difficult to believe that the person who made this picturesque, clueless, oddly misanthropic picture also made Annie Hall and Crimes and Misdemeanors." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)80%
/
 
" [An] alternately winsome and irritating documentary about the art scene that grew out of the Alleged Gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side in the 1990s." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Beautiful Losers (2008)71%
/
 
" It's beautiful, but nobody involved was ever sure what the movie was actually about, or why they were making it." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Elegy (2008)74%
/
 
" Frequently beautiful and intermittently haunting." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 6, 2008
 
Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008)68%
/
 
" With all his devotion to getting the story right -- and that's a worthy goal, don't get me wrong -- Grossman never captures the insanity and terror, or for that matter the seductive allure, of nihilist L.A. punk in its early years." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
What We Do Is Secret (2008)44%
/
 
" With its gradual buildup and devastating last 20 minutes, Tommy Davis' documentary about Wendy Maldonado, a woman in rural Oregon who murdered her abusive husband, was the most powerful doc I saw at SXSW this year." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 4, 2008
 
One Minute to Nine (2008)n/a
/
 
" Profane, hilarious and ultimately heartbreaking." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)85%
/
 
" A clumsy if well-intentioned work of recycled propaganda, a mixture of hard evidence, random anecdote and far-flung inference that may convince some viewers that a clear verdict can be rendered on that impossibly murky event." -- Salon.com
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Stealing America: Vote By Vote (2008)50%
/
 
" 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
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
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)78%
/
 
" 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)86%
/
 
" 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)67%
/
 
" 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

Quid Pro Quo (2008)66%

" [A] much-celebrated documentary from the festival circuit." -- Salon.com
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008)93%
/
 
" 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 (2007)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)61%
/
 
" 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)77%
/
 
" 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)100%
/
 
" 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)74%
/
 
" [A] hilarious, smart and heartbreaking coming-of-age drama." -- Salon.com
Posted May 16, 2008
 
Reprise (2008)86%

" Earnest and dreary." -- Salon.com
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Blindness (2008)39%
/
 
" 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)33%
/
 
" So pretty and so utterly lifeless you can almost smell the embalming fluid coming off the screen." -- Salon.com
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Before the Rains (2008)47%
/
 
" It might just be the movie this war has been waiting for." -- Salon.com
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Battle for Haditha (2007)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)77%
/
 
" [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

Mister Lonely (2008)44%

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

" This tongue-in-cheek "docu-fantasia" about the hold his snowbound Manitoba hometown has over him is weird, winning and hilarious." -- Salon.com
Posted May 5, 2008
 
My Winnipeg (2008)94%
/
 
" Ambitious both as to structure and theme, and riveting in mood." -- Salon.com
Posted May 5, 2008
 
Boy A (2008)88%
/
 
" 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

Up The Yangtze (2007)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
