5/5	An exuberant, exhilaratingly playful testament to being young and hungry — for life and meaning and immortality, and for other young and restless bodies — Reprise is a blast of unadulterated movie pleasure. -- New York Times Posted May 16, 2008	Reprise (2008)	88%

4.5/5	*Alexander Sokurov�s Alexandra* feels like a communiqu� from another time, another place, anywhere but here.** -- New York Times Posted Mar 26, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	94%
3.5/5	Boarding Gate plays with various genre codes and conventions very differently than most run-of-the-mill modern thrillers. -- New York Times Posted Mar 20, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	26%
