2/4
 
"Even if there aren't many other reasons to give this contrived and too often silly film a chance, Faithfull makes a captivating leading lady."
Posted May 2, 2008
 
Irina Palm (2008)72%
/
2.5/4
 
"This is the latest feel-good documentary to turn a spotlight on a much-misunderstood disorder, and per usual it demands that you unleash your sense of humor and table your pity."

Praying with Lior (2008)74%

"The Life Before Her Eyes might offer a fresh perspective on aborted dreams, but its insights are buried under stale, inflated moviemaking."

The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)26%

1.5/4
 
"Hoblit and veteran cinematographer Anastas Michos try to darken the proceedings by giving us nocturnal characters and Portland at its grayest. But it's window dressing, just like the layers of computer geek-speak that can't disguise an analog-age plot."
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%

"Rich and imposing."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
The Yacoubian Building ()100%

3/4
 
"Intimate and charming, infused with just enough theatricality to declare it a satisfying show."
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
Family Hero (2006)n/a
/
2/4
 
"At nearly two hours, the film seems overlong. And despite natural, sometimes gripping performances from a cast led by nonprofessional child actors, the script's unrelenting cynicism can wear on a viewer."
Posted Nov 30, 2007
 
Times and Winds (2008)76%
/
3.5/4
 
"As flip and gaudy as that title might sound, this spare little movie is actually one of the most candid, down-to-earth, organically inspirational documentaries you'll ever see."
Posted Nov 20, 2007
 
Autism: The Musical (2008)n/a
/
3/4
 
"King Corn insists that we recognize the Corn Belt's beauty and intelligence along with its somewhat self-induced plight."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
King Corn (2007)95%

1.5/4
 
"Despite timely and worthwhile subject matter, there is nothing very inspired or inspiring in what makes it to the screen."
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
Milarepa (2007)36%
/
1.5/4
 
"The finished product feels like the unloved child of a bad marriage where the only thing anyone remembers is the sharp edges."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Mr. Woodcock (2007)13%
/
2.5/4
 
"Lapica's debut impresses with its strong, clear voice and desire to tell a very personal story not just of substance abuse but of that abuse's painful root cause."
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
Self-Medicated (2007)35%

3/4
 
"It should not have taken luck and a charitable filmmaker to save Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani."

The Cats of Mirikitani (2006)96%

"Where (oh where) are Tennessee Tuxedo and Phineas J. Whoopie when we need them?"

"Even when its wires are showing, the movie's soul is always evident."

Journey From The Fall (2007)92%

"Tamblyn's surprisingly measured performance commands attention."
Posted May 11, 2007
 
Stephanie Daley (2007)89%

1.5/4
 
"The next time Grodin attempts a comeback, it would be so great if he avoids movies where he might be upstaged by a sandwich stunt."
Posted May 11, 2007
 
The Ex (2007)19%

3.5/4
 
"As funny as it is sharp."
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Offside (2006)95%
/
2.5/4
 
"The suggestion is that C-Diddy can be seen as a sort of ambassador for the 'make air, not war' sentiment. Why not? Even as real ambassadors go, we could do worse."
Posted Apr 20, 2007
 
Air Guitar Nation (2007)83%
/
3/4
 
"Though its dissection of globalization is sobering and sharp-tongued in places, the film's approach is ultimately more diary than diatribe, centered on the kind of girls who would rather dance than despair."
Posted Mar 8, 2007
 
China Blue (2005)100%
/
1.5/4
 
"From the very first shot of Thornton on horseback, herding stray cattle in his spacesuit, this is a work that often feels orchestrated instead of inspired, literal rather than ethereal."
Posted Feb 23, 2007
 
The Astronaut Farmer (2007)58%
/
3.5/4
 
"Planet of Storms is worth seeing because it's good ; not just 'get a load of those aliens' good, but also intelligent, involving, and, yes, ahead of its time."
Posted Feb 2, 2007
 
Planet of Storms (1962)n/a
/
2.5/4
 
"If you want to see straight into the reincarnated soul of this culture, Davaa proves once again that she has the understanding and insight, if not always the storytelling skills, to take you there."
Posted Nov 24, 2006
 
Cave of the Yellow Dog (2006)88%

"...The filmmakers do a fine job of sprinkling in [whistling] snapshots and other bits of history."
Posted Nov 17, 2006
 
Pucker Up (2006)80%

3.5/4
 
"A rousing, sometimes funny, frequently depressing documentary."
Posted Nov 3, 2006
 
Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? (2006)83%
/
3/4
 
"This is a documentary that gets a lot across while avoiding cliches and easy exploitation, even in famine-ravaged places where more horrific images must have abounded."
Posted Oct 27, 2006
 
Black Gold (2006)85%
/
2/4
 
"When your most distinctive element is Ashton Kutcher as a one-antlered mule deer, respect has reason to elude you."
Posted Sep 29, 2006
 
Open Season (2006)47%
/
2/4
 
"If it's not in the same league of talking-inanimate-object cartoons as Cars, at least we can say it has heart. And that's always more important than stars."
Posted Sep 15, 2006
 
Everyone's Hero (2006)40%
/
1.5/4
 
"An overwrought story of American politics and image-making that really only gets interesting in the final act."
Posted Aug 25, 2006
 
Poster Boy (2006)22%
/
3/4
 
"Berends's documentary works for the most part because it has a fresh point of view and worthwhile things to say about the individual value of overlooked masses in a war zone."
Posted Aug 12, 2006
 
The Blood of My Brother: A Story of Death in Iraq (2006)71%
/
2/4
 
"If you only watched the first half of Been Rich All My Life, you might walk away thinking it's a so-so documentary about another fascinating, underreported piece of Harlem history. And you'd be at least half right in that assessment."
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
Been Rich All My Life (2006)78%
/
2.5/4
 
"A black-humored screenplay, realistic performances, eye-catching artwork, and a few creative turns on some well-worn themes."
Posted Jul 21, 2006
 
Look Both Ways (2006)77%

3/4
 
"A candid and enviably uncluttered film."

Mongolian Ping Pong (2006)83%

1.5/4
 
"You'll only be attracted to Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties if you're very young, you're very easily entertained, or you just can't get enough of Jim Davis's lasagna-scarfing cartoon cat."
Posted Jun 16, 2006
 
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)11%

2/4
 
"At minimum, this two-dimensional documentary does a decent job of displaying cavalier consumption alongside globalization and exploitative manufacturing."
Posted Apr 28, 2006
 
Mardi Gras: Made in China (2005)68%
/
3/4
 
"Arlyck's new film is an honest and thoughtful examination of the people and events that most influenced his adult life and what the '60s really meant to the bigger picture, viewed with the benefit of hindsight."
Posted Apr 7, 2006
 
Following Sean (2006)86%

"This one hits home in places, but overall it begs for a lighter touch."
Posted Mar 24, 2006
 
A Stolen Life (2006)n/a
/
3/4
 
"what the film lacks in depth it makes up for in Hong Kong-style punch, with vivid cinematography and powerfully choreographed action."
Posted Mar 3, 2006
 
The President's Last Bang (2005)80%
/
2.5/4
 
"History dictates that you know how the story ends. Still, the heart beats no less fast when you watch Munro's Indian rocketing across those salt flats. You can see how it might be enough to justify a journey halfway around the world."
Posted Feb 3, 2006
 
The World's Fastest Indian (2005)79%
/
2.5/4
 
"The best thing about Gansel's film is it doesn't ask you to absolve anyone; it only tries to make everyone a little more human."
Posted Jan 6, 2006
 
Before the Fall (2004)65%
/
1.5/4
 
"In striving to be fair beyond reproach, this movie misses many chances to be funnier. Good comedy doesn't make that choice, and great comedy doesn't have to."
Posted Dec 27, 2005
 
The Ringer (2005)40%
/
2.5/4
 
"At least as unnerving as it is gratuitously sadistic, skin deep, and full of plot holes the size of Ayers Rock."
Posted Dec 24, 2005
 
Wolf Creek (2005)53%

"Bitton poses the important questions, but too often she lets powerful responses get lost amid footage that lingers forever on some mundane location shot while interviews are happening mostly off camera."
Posted Oct 28, 2005
 
The Wall (2004)70%
/
2/4
 
"West gets an enthusiastic round of applause for trusting his eye for stripped-down horror. Now he needs to complete the picture with writing that shows the same conviction."
Posted Oct 21, 2005
 
The Roost (2005)56%

"Nothing in this would-be thriller grabs you by the throat, never mind reaches down to your guts."

Cronicas (2005)72%
/
2/4
 
"Definitely see it this weekend if you want 10 percent of your ticket proceeds to go to Operation USA for Hurricane Katrina relief. But please don't see it to relive 1978. Even under a roller disco ball, 1978 was never like this."
Posted Sep 23, 2005
 
Roll Bounce (2005)64%

2.5/4
 
"Pointed sociopolitical commentary that's thoughtful and impassioned, if not always hilarious."
Posted Sep 16, 2005
 
Margaret Cho - Assassin (2005)38%
/
1/4
 
"Venom is so far beneath comparisons to Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer that it would have to add a Jennifer Love Hewitt cameo just to keep company with the worst sequels of those popular movies."
Posted Sep 16, 2005
 
Venom (2005)8%

2/4
 
"Self-conscious, overdone, shallow, and just not up to the level of its star."
