1.5/4
 
"It doesn't point toward a new way to live our lives; it smugly applauds the 'radical' choices of one self-absorbed, sociopathic boy-girl couple."
Posted Jul 2, 2004
 
Love Me If You Dare (2004)44%
/
3.5/4
 
"If Bon Voyage ... didn't satiate your desire for films about the Nazi occupation of France in World War II, you're in luck. Another one has washed up on our shores, and it's even better."
Posted Jun 25, 2004
 
Strayed (2004)73%
/
3/4
 
"What you're left with is a relationship between two men that is untouched by macho posturing or any trace of anxiety -- and a perfect respite from the action flick mentality."
Posted Jun 17, 2004
 
Kitchen Stories (2004)90%
/
2.5/4
 
"The film does little more than clock the highs and lows of another of cinema's many, many, many couples."
Posted May 27, 2004
 
A Slipping Down Life (2004)26%
/
3/4
 
"The payoff of this intoxicating film is less a deep, coherent message than a series of gorgeous surface images: the smoky visuals, the calm, committed rapport with nature, the dramatic seasonal shifts."
Posted May 13, 2004
 
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... And Spring (2004)95%
/
3/4
 
"It's an utterly accessible, thoroughly entertaining World War II thriller whose mild comedic touches detract not a whit from the haunted memory of Nazi occupation."
Posted May 7, 2004
 
Bon Voyage (2004)77%
/
2.5/4
 
"All Jewison has to offer us is an exquisitely packaged reminder of the Catholic Church's collaboration with the Vichy government. But why distort history when your sole purpose is to offer a history lesson?"
Posted Mar 25, 2004
 
The Statement (2003)22%
/
3/4
 
"The ceaseless 4/4 lumber of Young's perennial backing band, Crazy Horse, combined with the aggressive grunginess of the imagery, bespeaks commitment, and a sense of purpose."
Posted Mar 11, 2004
 
Neil Young - Greendale (2004)35%
/
2.5/4
 
"Zero Day simply proves that feel-bad films are no more instructive than feel-good films."
Posted Mar 5, 2004
 
Zero Day (2003)69%
/
1.5/4
 
"We've been to this place many times before, folks: An overly fastidious, brainy male gets led through a series of zany adventures by a free-spirited female, and the moral of the story is to not live life so cautiously."
Posted Feb 12, 2004
 
In July (2000)89%
/
2/4
 
"For the most part, Girl With a Pearl Earring is simultaneously heaving and static, like the cover of a Harlequin romance novel and about as exciting to contemplate for more than 90 minutes."
Posted Jan 29, 2004
 
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)71%
/
2/4
 
"Amounts to little more than a nearly two-hour travelogue of Europe, a la The Lizzie McGuire Movie."
Posted Jan 8, 2004
 
Chasing Liberty (2004)19%
/
2.5/4
 
"Suffers the same banal fate of most band documentaries. It's essential for rabid fans but even ordinary ones will live rich and meaningful lives without ever having seen one minute of it."
Posted Aug 21, 2003
 
Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003)82%
/
1/4
 
"A film best avoided by teenage misfits of any stripe."
Posted Aug 21, 2003
 
Camp (2003)62%
/
4/4
 
"Demonstrates how little communication has to do with language. And isn't that what the greatest films show us?"
Posted Aug 15, 2003
 
The Cuckoo (2003)87%
/
2/4
 
"Beware of smarty-pants filmmakers run amok in small-town America."
Posted Aug 7, 2003
 
Northfork (2003)56%
/
2.5/4
 
"After 90 minutes of policing female sexuality, the film is left with little to say on the matter."
Posted Jul 8, 2003
 
Respiro (2003)77%
/
3/4
 
"For a better look at the sexism behind ancestral traditions, try Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi's masterpiece The Circle. But this easier-to-take film has an intoxication all its own."
Posted Jun 27, 2003
 
Whale Rider (2003)90%
/
3/4
 
"What makes it all work in the end is the actors, especially Tang Yun as the child prodigy."
Posted Jun 13, 2003
 
Together (2003)73%
/
1/4
 
"A joyless hatchet job."
Posted Jun 13, 2003
 
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2003)70%
/
2.5/4
 
"A 'robbers and robbers' film that fails to distinguish itself from any of the others."
Posted May 29, 2003
 
The Italian Job (2003)73%
/
4/4
 
"[A] rare, beautiful film."
Posted Jun 14, 2002
 
Time Out (2002)95%
/
2.5/4
 
"Moretti plays Giovanni, a psychiatrist who predictably finds it difficult to sustain interest in his profession after the family tragedy. Too predictably, in fact."
Posted May 30, 2002
 
The Son's Room (2002)84%
/
3/4
 
"Has an unmistakable, easy joie de vivre."
Posted May 9, 2002
 
Triumph of Love (2002)46%
/
2/4
 
"It's as if the complex backdrop of war could support only the most generic melodrama."
Posted Mar 15, 2002
 
Harrison's Flowers (2002)49%
/
3/4
 
"The director wisely resists the temptation to treat slackerdom as just a blase counterpoint to the craziness of the world."
Posted Mar 8, 2002
 
101 Reykjavik (2001)89%
/
2.5/4
 
"It looks much more like a cartoon in the end than The Simpsons ever has."
Posted Feb 15, 2002
 
John Q (2002)22%
/
2.5/4
 
"[E]ventually, every idea in this film is flushed down the latrine of heroism."
Posted Feb 14, 2002
 
Hart's War (2002)57%
/
 
"The unique tug-of-war with viewer expectations is undeniable, if not a pleasure in its own right."
Posted Feb 1, 2002
 
Slackers (2002)9%
/
 
"Each heart-tuggingly placed Beatles tune and life-affirming moment of triumph pats us on the back just for sitting through such a socially responsible film."
Posted Jan 25, 2002
 
I Am Sam (2002)33%
/
 
"If you found films like But I'm a Cheerleader or Edge of Seventeen profoundly unimaginative, Sebastien Lifshitz, making his directorial debut, has something to show you."
Posted Dec 14, 2001
 
Come Undone (2001)80%
/
 
"What we're left with suspiciously resembles a moderately clever episode of The Twilight Zone."
Posted Dec 7, 2001
 
Focus (2001)56%
/
 
"Don't expect the meticulously honed story of Seven or an evening of pretzel-raveling a la Memento. But if you've had a particularly stressful workweek, it'll make you question whether the stress was worth it."
Posted Dec 7, 2001
