	"Based on Jumpei Gomikawa's ambitious novel and seasoned with Kobayashi's own experiences, this overly melodramatic trilogy set in Japanese-occupied Manchuria depicts the dehumanizing brutality of war with on-the-nose pedantry, never subtext, and offers li" -- Village Voice Posted Jul 16, 2008	Human Condition, The - Pt. 1 - No Greater Love (1958)	80%
	"Assarat has little to say about the role of hope in post-traumatic living." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 16, 2008	Wonderful Town (2008)	91%
	"If we're meant to take these threads as a tapestry of L.A., then Freeland clearly needs to stop watching Robert Altman DVDs and go outside to see what the real world is actually like." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 10, 2008	Garden Party (2008)	12%
	"Tamar Simon Hoffs's bland-as-boiled-cabbage adaptation of Joseph O'Connor's play finally hobbles into theaters, reminding us every 15 seconds that just because it looks distinctly American and was shot in California, it's a fookin' Irish movie." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 25, 2008	Red Roses and Petrol (2008)	0%
	"*As tamely unerotic as a straight-to-video Misty Mundae softcore spoof... Wicked Lake proves* that even Troma can outclass some.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jun 25, 2008	Wicked Lake (2008)	n/a
	"The film's quick-and-dirty verite yields some delightful caught moments, steeped in historical footnotes that only enhance." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 25, 2008	All In This Tea (2008)	82%
	"It's hard to imagine how Koch could have made her film any more heavy-handed: perhaps by adding U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" to the soundtrack or having the narration delivered by Colin Farrell�both of which, inevitably enough, the director does." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 11, 2008	Kicking It (2008)	50%
	"If you can look past writer-director Martin Hynes's familiar fest formula, his film modestly rewards with gorgeous sun-spotted cinematography, tender digressions in rather brave quantities, and believably charming dialogue." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 4, 2008	The Go-Getter (2008)	40%
	"Some of the most authentic neorealism this side of De Sica. This is as exceptional as microbudget cinema gets." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 4, 2008	Take Out (2008)	100%
	"Challenges the corrupt military-industrial complex and privatization with such an embarrassingly generic, dated, fish-in-a-barrel aplomb that it's no wonder David Mamet denounced his former life as a "brain-dead liberal."" -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 22, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
	"This movie's about as dangerous (or as funny) as a mouthy, caffeinated teen punk from the suburbs who just saw his first s-flinging GG Allin performance on YouTube." -- Village Voice* Posted May 21, 2008	Postal (2008)	9%
	"Sandhya Suri strikes humanist gold in her feature-filmmaking debut." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 8, 2008	I for India (2007)	100%
	"Unlike the frustrating gimmickry of Mike Figgis's Timecode and Hotel, McDonald's bedazzling multi-frame experiment poeticizes and enhances an otherwise slender story (forgivable at only 77 minutes long)..." -- Village Voice Posted May 7, 2008	The Tracey Fragments (2008)	40%
	"Provocative and quietly mesmerizing... Gianvito's vital memorial of memorials could and should be dissected at length shot by shot..." -- Premiere Magazine Posted May 5, 2008	Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind (2008)	n/a
	"Beautifully creepy... Less concerned with gags than nimble storytelling and wide-screen aesthetics (every brooding corner of the frame is blotted in monochromatic noir hues), Plympton mines elegance from the utterly gonzo." -- Village Voice Posted May 5, 2008	Idiots and Angels (2008)	n/a
	"Warmly magical... Building to a tender Big Night-like feast where the gang's all here, suspense is as thick and exciting as communal joy, and a single sexy surprise proves one of the greatest moments in film this year..." -- Premiere Magazine Posted Apr 28, 2008	La Graine et le Mulet (2007)	100%
	"*Ingeniously madcap and heartfelt... more than just a whimsical curiosity, My Winnipeg* takes an extraordinary leap forward...*" -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 26, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	97%
	"Exhilarating... a crowd-pleaser in such witty, poetic ways that even an art-house curmudgeon couldn't deny its tidy vigor." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 26, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
	"*A public-access ugly, unintelligible, inconsequential adaptation of [Melvin Van Peebles'] quarter-century-old Broadway show, Waltz of the Stork..." -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 23, 2008	Confessionsofa Ex-Doofus-ItchyFooted Mutha (2008)	n/a
	"First Saturday isn't exactly a winner, but it places." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 16, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	72%
	"Williams's multi-thread portrait is fascinating only as a scattershot, time-capsule sampling of those whose lives were defined by the Tiananmen Square protests." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 8, 2008	Young & Restless In China (2008)	75%
	"*Unlike Diary, the drama here is buoyant enough to handle the contrast of its too-silly slapstick." -- Village Voice* Posted Mar 25, 2008	Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)	31%
	"*One might appreciate Anthology's all-new print -- with its epic sets and costumes, slumming icons, and unfocused meta-ambitions -- as the queer precursor to Southland Tales." -- Village Voice* Posted Mar 23, 2008	Myra Breckinridge (1970)	25%
	"It's surprising the film doesn't feature lesbians jumping on trampolines." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 18, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	71%
	"The doc is sobering, straightforward, and a bit drab, but to the participants' credit, it's also an entirely nonpartisan endeavor." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 11, 2008	War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (2008)	88%
	"*A magical must-see and a loving tribute to Albert Lamorrisse's 1956 children's classic The Red Balloon..." -- Village Voice* Posted Mar 5, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	78%
	"This rarity in cinema -- a graying cast in a female-bonding adventure -- couldn't be more dull-humored or predictably maudlin without just calling itself The Bucket List 2." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 27, 2008	Bonneville (2006)	42%
	"[David] Novack's...inability to tell a compelling story makes it difficult for us to summon outrage." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 27, 2008	Burning the Future: Coal in America (2008)	89%
	"Fastidiously researched, dubiously suspenseful character portrait is unable to salvage a lick of hindsight from the tragedy beyond "murderous narcissists are people too."" -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 15, 2008	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	35%
	"No snob to low-brow ridiculousness when it's actually unexpected, I'll admit to being amused exactly once." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 5, 2008	Strange Wilderness (2008)	0%
	"This beautifully daffy road-movie musical is as inspired, whimsical, and commercially unconcerned as its protagonist." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 29, 2008	Build a Ship, Sail to Sadness (2007)	60%
	"I'm moving to Europe." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 29, 2008	Meet the Spartans (2008)	2%
	"It's easy to see how this military adventure has become a cult favorite, with its oddball wit and an elegant simplicity to what was likely underfunded stunt work." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 24, 2008	White Sun of the Desert (1969)	n/a
	"Sumptuous, haunting, and unusually tender... a nakedly psychological "in" to [Bergman's] earliest artistic impulses; nothing else in his oeuvre addresses so directly his childhood escapes into fantasy as the by-product of a harsh Lutheran upbringing." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 8, 2008	Fanny and Alexander (1982)	100%
	"More ethnologically remarkable than particularly well-made." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 8, 2008	The Bet Collector (2006)	n/a
	"Who is the audience here, besides depraved Beatles completists?" -- Village Voice Posted Jan 2, 2008	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	35%
2.5/4	"Since mainstream American horror's devolution... you have to tip your hat whenever an import attempts to maintain suspense and atmosphere instead, even when said import is an obvious retread." -- Premiere Magazine Posted Dec 28, 2007	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
1/4	"This terminally ill, terminally awful dramedy marks a sad cinematic milestone: The Bucket List is the first film in history to feature a truly wretched Nicholson performance -- and we're not talking about the character he plays." -- Premiere Magazine Posted Dec 23, 2007	The Bucket List (2007)	42%
	"*Eye-popping as The District!* is, the overarching geopolitical satire is a haphazardly lobbed grenade too dim-witted to be explosive.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Dec 18, 2007	The District (2007)	88%
	"An avalanche-in-progress aside, there's no hook for the audience, who would probably have more fun getting drunk in the lodge." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 18, 2007	Steep (2007)	55%
	"Writer-director Bahman Ghobadi's picturesque road trip is less about preserving a musical heritage than accepting one's fate, a mythic trek that's both heartrending and boisterous -- often as hauntingly absurdist as a Kusturica carnival." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2007	Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007)	100%
	"Look isn't processing, critiquing, or even warning; in the end, it's just recording." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2007	Look (2007)	61%
	"Yu's rousing, difficult-to-classify exercise in parallel storytelling is surprisingly accessible, and all the more insightful for it." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 27, 2007	Protagonist (2007)	84%
	"Badland practically begs 'For Your Consideration' without the substance to justify its awards-season epic length." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 27, 2007	Badland (2007)	20%
	"The cast has spirit, but the dialogue and situations are phonier than the Yule log on TV." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 20, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
	"*It's frustrating that Midnight Eagle* is more concerned with puffed-up nationalist pride than logic. How did five characters' paths all converge at the exact same minute anyway?*" -- Village Voice* Posted Nov 20, 2007	Midnight Eagle (2007)	25%
	"Warm and hilarious... the bittersweet milestones play like a Spalding Gray monologue loosened up with a few shots of tequila." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 13, 2007	Life of Reilly (2007)	100%
	"November seems late enough to call this one of the richest documentaries of the year." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 13, 2007	I for India (2007)	100%
	"Collin's melancholy, beautiful feature debut does more than just chronicle this undervalued musician; it brings Ayler and his message of spiritual unity back to life." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2007	My Name Is Albert Ayler (2007)	94%
1/4	"It's a bit creepy, since [Dennis's] "quirks" are an unaddressed cry for help in this generic tonal mess that switches to light rom-com mode whenever any of its complicated-fatherhood drama starts to get too realistically sobering." -- Premiere Magazine Posted Nov 2, 2007	Martian Child (2007)	30%
