	"The exceptional cast -- Vaughn, Giamatti, Kathy Bates, Kevin Spacey, Rachel Weisz -- is an embarrassment of riches for a script this thin and this beholden to family-fare protocol, with its mushy-minded moral and slick sentimentality." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 6, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
	"Critics have rightfully hailed Tarr as one of filmdom's criminally undersung geniuses." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 5, 2007	Satantango (1994)	100%
	"One of the most important artists of the last century deserves far better than this." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 21, 2007	Anger Me (2007)	n/a
	"Lang's impossibly vast skyscraper-ziggurats (inspired, it's said, by his first view of the Manhattan skyline) are the blueprint for nearly every science-fiction movie city of the past 30 years." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 17, 2007	Metropolis (1926)	99%
	"Shadow Company attempts to provide a balanced view of a potentially polarizing issue, interviewing historians, security firm heads, war journalists, and former contractors themselves (the Army declined)." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 5, 2007	Shadow Company (2007)	85%
	"Smith's own work, here montaged for easy digestion, is already too rich and sumptuous to require any further frosting." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 10, 2007	Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis (2007)	83%
	"It's easy to understand why this was Herzog's final collaboration with the actor, but Kinski's performance nevertheless serves up a potent confusion of documentary and fiction that has long been an essential element of Herzog's filmmaking." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007	Cobra Verde (1987)	86%
	"Though the film never transcends its own neo-boho quirk, it concludes in a marvelous final shot: a long take set to Gang of Four, grungy and materialist in the Jacobs tradition." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 16, 2007	The GoodTimesKid (2005)	67%
	"Roberto Benigni here plays out a madcap tale of romantic obsession against the backdrop of the Iraq invasion. The results are neither profound nor funny." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 4, 2007	The Tiger and the Snow (2006)	17%
	"A noble experiment in pushing the limits of cinema, but one too many sequences of ruffling silks and dreamy flower bouquets evoke little more than the ad-agency clich�s of an elongated Chanel No. 5 commercial." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 4, 2007	Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)	56%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Village Voice Posted Jan 2, 2007	The Tiger and the Snow (2006)	17%
	"*Neither profound nor funny, but merely uncomfortable. A hubristic failure at risky humor, The Tiger and the Snow* provides Benigni his own Michael Richards moment.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Dec 28, 2006	The Tiger and the Snow (2006)	17%
	"It's a noble experiment in pushing the limits of cinema, but Tykwer never achieves true profundity." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 27, 2006	Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)	56%
	"A micro-doc packing more intoxicating beauty and invigorating ideas into its 17 minutes than most other films do in 90 or more." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 5, 2006	My Dad Is 100 Years Old (2006)	100%
	"As little more than an extended interview, it remains hobbled by determinedly uninspired cinematography and a mundane televisual setup." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 5, 2006	Bergman Island (2006)	88%
	"Varda transforms the typical French cinema gamine into a complex, tragic figure: the girl who's all too good at playing plaything, forced to face the hollowness of her youth." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 21, 2006	Cleo de 5 a 7 (1962)	93%
	"The trauma is real, and the facts disturbing, but the doc doesn't have the chops to deliver what should be a more powerful statement." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2006	The Last Atomic Bomb (2006)	60%
	"Though occasionally striking, the footage doesn't pack the evocative punch Herzog intends, and segments that should be lyrical mind trips only result in overstretched longueurs." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 24, 2006	The Wild Blue Yonder: A Science Fiction Fantasy (2006)	67%
	"*Though Out of Place* uses quotations from Said's writings to frame its chapters, the result is less a picture of Said himself than of the environments that shaped him.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Oct 11, 2006	Out of Place: Memories of Edward Said (2006)	n/a
	"Though physically weakened and near the end of his life, his discourse is sharp and incisive, creating a remarkably compelling self-portrait." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 11, 2006	Edward Said: The Last Interview (2004)	n/a
	"Burns argues for a cogitating, agitating Warhol: deep thinker, cultural barometer, and world changer." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 30, 2006	Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film (2006)	100%
	"Yilmaz Arslan's hard-edged story of Turks and Kurds on the mean streets of urban Germany veers between moments of sensitive humanism and horrifying brutality." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 22, 2006	Fratricide (2005)	90%
	"[Yule] reveals a struggle far more complicated, suggesting that the manic entanglement of human relationships can't always conform to the winner-loser narratives that the lawyer-driven court system demands." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 25, 2006	The Photographer, His Wife, Her Lover (2006)	75%
	"[A] stark black-and-whiter about the mental intricacies of male-female relationships..." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 21, 2006	Film About a Woman Who... (1974)	n/a
	"Thomas Allen Harris's Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela takes on an intensely dramatic topic -- the struggle against apartheid -- yet paradoxically transforms its powerful source material into a stiff and sometimes awkward tutorial." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 7, 2006	Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela (2006)	n/a
	"Kyle Henry's Room is one of those rare American indies that confidently and successfully propose their own narrative logic, drawing viewers into a mental puzzle that may not contain a single clear solution." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 27, 2006	Room (2005)	69%
	"An unsatisfying marriage of excessive production values with insipid cinematography and flat-footed editing." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 28, 2006	Drawing Restraint 9 (2006)	57%
	"This picture remains faithful to the underlying affability of both Chappelle and Gondry, orchestrating a feel-good homestyle vibe that, while peppered with moments of sly political commentary, never harshes its own, slightly bittersweet mellow." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 28, 2006	Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006)	92%
	"Surely a figure as crucial as Geldzahler deserves more incisive treatment." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 31, 2006	Who Gets to Call it Art? (2006)	73%
	"Well executed but ultimately unsatisfying ..." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 25, 2006	Breaking News (2006)	81%
	"[The film] falls in line with the celebratory doc fare often found at gay film festivals: sub-TV production values, middling archival footage, and a hesitancy to separate history from nostalgia in the course of enshrining the first-person record." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 1, 2005	Gay Sex in the 70's (2005)	67%
	"The Time We Killed achieves a quiet power through rough-edged, handcrafted means." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 18, 2005	The Time We Killed (2004)	n/a
	"A dreamlike travelogue that transforms a mundane world into something strange and new." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 13, 2005	Chain (2006)	57%
	"A virtuoso narrative loop-the-loop that travels through a phantasmagoric catalog of animation styles." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 30, 2005	Mind Game (2005)	n/a
	"[A] subtle, elegant documentary." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 30, 2005	William Eggleston In The Real World (2005)	89%
	"Unfortunately, what could have been a superficially amusing IFC reality series was stretched into a thin, overlong feature that follows the rocky integration of this very New York clan into a somewhat ruffled island society." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 16, 2005	Reel Paradise (2005)	67%
	"Part wacky comedy (with plenty of jailhouse humping), part existential allegory, Pound betrays its stage-play roots with too much actorly grandstanding but is peppered with ecstatic funk-powered freak-outs." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 16, 2005	Pound (1970)	n/a
No Rating	"Well shot in fat-grained monochrome 16mm (by experimental filmmaker Peter Hutton, who typically turns his lens toward expansive landscapes), No Picnic partakes of the shabby-chic downtown aesthetic that was once a New York cinematic mainstay." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 16, 2005	No Picnic (1987)	n/a
	"A photographic Homer of his own odyssey, Mekas journeys -- like us all -- in irrevocable exile from his own past, attempting to reconstruct that invisible nation of youth to which he can never return." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 9, 2005	Lost Lost Lost (1976)	n/a
	"If we're going to be fighting the war on terror in perpetuity, could we at least get better movies out of it?" -- Village Voice Posted Aug 2, 2005	Stealth (2005)	13%
	"[A] well-wrought investigation of the often mysterious life of Edgar G. Ulmer." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 26, 2005	Edgar G. Ulmer: The Man Off-Screen (2004)	67%
	"It fails to deliver the narrative thrill twists its origins would promise." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 12, 2005	Dark Water (2005)	45%
	"Few of the interviews get much further than recording surface boasts and assertive self-definitions; LaChapelle connects all their stories with common threads of resisting gang culture, but at the expense of flattening out each person's character." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 21, 2005	Rize (2005)	82%
	"Despite the tale's dusty pedigree, Ron Howard spins a ticket-worthy two-plus hours of movie-movie entertainment." -- Village Voice Posted May 31, 2005	Cinderella Man (2005)	80%
	"Leaner and sharper than its fast-and-furious TV spots would let on." -- Village Voice Posted May 31, 2005	Lords of Dogtown (2005)	55%
	"No uplifting populism here." -- Village Voice Posted May 31, 2005	The Longest Yard (2005)	30%
	"Anakin's defection from Jediism to Sithdom should provide the film's backbone, but neither the script nor Christensen delivers the needed nuance." -- Village Voice Posted May 13, 2005	Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)	79%
	"Streaky low-frame-rate DV, Dogme-style mundane interiors, and merely unembarrassing televisual performances add up to a monotonous, unenlightening experience." -- Village Voice Posted May 3, 2005	The Girl from Monday (2006)	40%
	"Taylor Mead traipses with elfin glee through a lost San Francisco of smoke-stuffed North Beach caf�s, oceanside fairgrounds, and collapsed post-industrial ruins." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 17, 2005	The Flower Thief (1960)	n/a
	"It's unclear whether this is an actual issue, or just something spicy to be cooked up in the potboiler." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 30, 2004	Conspiracy of Silence (2004)	33%
