4/6	"The movie, in its best moments, suggests a Haredi version of Terence Davies�s 1988 masterpiece, Distant Voices, Still Lives." -- Time Out New York Posted May 14, 2008	My Father, My Lord (2006)	91%
4/6	"Nuanced, scrupulous and powerful." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2008	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	59%
4/6	"Director Michael Skolnik gained extraordinary access to both Swaziland�s royal family and its political underground, and delivers an unflinching portrait of a country where life expectancy is the shortest in the world." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 24, 2008	Without the King (2007)	93%
3/6	"*Compelling as it often is, Anamorph* feels positively cloddish next to David Fincher�s Seven or Zodiac, with which it shares a fondness for shadowy rooms and dimly lit obsessions.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Apr 17, 2008	Anamorph (2008)	27%
1/6	"Building up to what�s supposed to be a serious moral dilemma, the noisy final act borders on incoherence." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
3/6	"The film, which focuses primarily on four individuals, is unusually effective at finding the humanity inside men usually reviled as monsters -- not least by themselves." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Dhamma Brothers (2008)	79%
4/6	"This winning combination of neighborhood indie and old-school Hollywood B movie is the kind of film that doesn�t flinch from the sight of a bullet being removed from human flesh." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Take (2007)	90%
4/6	"*At its best, Young & Restless in China* plays like a prosaic complement to the films of Jia Zhangke.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Apr 10, 2008	Young & Restless in China (2008)	73%
4/6	"*The two Americans reflect on their own grief and on their ambivalence about being viewed as '9/11 widows,' but most of Beyond Belief* is refreshingly outward-looking.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Apr 2, 2008	Beyond Belief (2007)	90%
3/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Jan 18, 2008	Longing (2006)	77%
3/6	"This absurdist black comedy from Norway is unlike any other movie you�ll see this year, but as allegory, it�s a bit too literal-minded." -- Time Out New York Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Bothersome Man (2007)	70%
2/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Nov 22, 2007	Milarepa (2007)	36%
3/6	"*Its heart firmly in the right place, O Jerusalem* proves an uneasy mix of history and fiction.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Nov 15, 2007	O Jerusalem (2007)	30%
2/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Sep 22, 2007	Flannel Pajamas (2006)	52%
2/6	"Pathfinder�s main appeal will be to connoisseurs of gore, who will find no shortage of graphically rendered stabbings, shootings, smashings, severings and slicings." -- Time Out New York Posted Sep 22, 2007	Pathfinder (2007)	11%
1/6	"Much time is spent waiting for a methane-filled toilet to explode, an incident that only begins to approximate the visceral experience of watching this movie." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 9, 2007	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	1%
3/6	"The movie�s muddy, overexposed look is tough on the eyes, but its unrelentingly bleak take on the land of supermarkets and car dealerships is not without its share of dark humor, and it thankfully eschews easy answers." -- Time Out Posted Jul 26, 2007	Laura Smiles (2007)	47%
3/6	"Te movie picks up in the final act as Agnieszka�s political activities begin to eclipse her personal drama, culminating in the historic 1980 strike that would lead to the creation of free labor unions in Poland." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 30, 2007	Strike (2007)	87%
3/6	"Warmhearted." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 23, 2007	The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007)	88%

2/6	"Even Money never quite achieves [Crash's] epic badness -- but Kim Basinger�s mortifying turn as the struggling writer is hysterical in every sense of the word." -- Time Out New York Posted May 19, 2007	Even Money (2007)	23%
3/6	"Like its hero, this unassuming comedy is nothing special to look at, but too sweet to despise." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 21, 2007	The Valet (2007)	68%
3/6	"As befits the form, enjoyment of this film will depend almost entirely on one�s appreciation of the substantial anatomical charms of its lead actress." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 14, 2007	The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007)	30%
2/6	"Laden with false climaxes, the overstuffed plot leaves you exhausted well before the movie ends, and the amiable actors sleepwalk through their uninspired roles." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 14, 2007	Deck the Halls (2006)	6%
4/6	"An intimate parable of truth and reconciliation." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 7, 2007	Dry Season (2006)	100%
4/6	"As humane a Hollywood film as we�re likely to see all year." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 17, 2007	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	84%
2/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 17, 2007	Masai: The Rain Warriors (2006)	63%
	"*With its unobtrusive visual style, Justice* plays like a near-parody of documentary objectivity, subtly suggesting the malleable nature of 'truth,' both in the courtroom and the movie theater.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Oct 17, 2006	Justice (2004)	n/a
	"*Too glib to qualify as satire, Hair High* nails the high school experience.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Oct 17, 2006	Hair High (2006)	78%
	"It's tough to be sure of anything in this murky experimental feature, which sadly fails to live up to its title." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 11, 2006	Frankensteins Bloody Nightmare (2006)	43%
	"This witless satire dares to take on the culture of -- get ready for this -- reality TV!" -- Village Voice Posted Aug 22, 2006	Surviving Eden (2006)	15%
	"The movie is unusually attentive to the ironies of communications technology: Note the subtle but definite awkwardness that creeps into the conversation after a prospective girlfriend casually tells Alex that she only checks her e-mail once a week." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 22, 2006	LOL (2006)	100%
	"King Leopold's Ghost traces the living legacy of colonialism." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 18, 2006	King Leopold's Ghost (2006)	91%
	"Not only is the candid (but never prurient) treatment of early-teen sexuality and drug use too hot to handle, but the narrative blend of fairy-tale wonder and nightmare logic feels sui generis." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 15, 2006	Moonlight (2002)	60%
	"Hamilton immerses itself in the summertime rhythms of one particular blue-collar Baltimore suburb, playing out in uninterrupted chunks of real time." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 9, 2006	Hamilton (2006)	80%
	"*... Todd Verow's overstuffed Vacationland* promises more than it delivers in just about every sense.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Aug 2, 2006	Vacationland (2006)	0%
	"This year's Cinema Village program is something of a best-of, compiling six films from past incarnations and pointedly showcasing the series' range, both geographical and formal." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 20, 2006	The World According to Shorts (2006)	100%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Village Voice Posted Jul 12, 2006	Excellent Cadavers (1999)	63%
	"*Opening with its hero's dramatic death on the highway, Excellent Cadavers* is seldom at a loss for excitement.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jul 11, 2006	Excellent Cadavers (2006)	77%
	"Kill Your Idols pulls a few punches, tempering its respect for No Wave values like extremity and contentiousness with a more 2006 concern for not actually offending anyone in particular." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 5, 2006	Kill Your Idols (2006)	38%
	"*The subtitle, A Story of Death in Iraq, concisely captures its core subject: the brute facts of grief, suffering, and death in wartime." -- Village Voice* Posted Jun 27, 2006	The Blood of My Brother: A Story of Death in Iraq (2006)	71%
	"[The film] drinks freely from the triumphalist cup of the glasnost era, but a closing dedication to the veterans of Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution (the subject of Grappell's next film) acknowledges that the struggle for democracy continues." -- Village Voice Posted May 9, 2006	Light From the East (2006)	71%
	"It's all pleasant enough, but the pretty pictures, languid pacing, and endless stretches of mood music eventually combine to soporific effect." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 25, 2006	Suite Habana (2006)	71%
	"As deceptively modest and quietly ambitious as its urban working-class hero." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 4, 2006	Quality of Life (2004)	64%
	"The script, overly laden with red herrings, forces its characters into some improbable dilemmas...and the ambiguous ending feels inconsistent with the too tidy setup." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 14, 2006	Beautiful City (2006)	89%
	"Cabras and Molinari squander a golden opportunity to produce a spiritually oriented variation on the lightweight making-of genre." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 14, 2006	The Big Question (2006)	44%
	"*Warmhearted but never sentimental or condescending, Home* finally proves most affecting as an unsparing glimpse into the psychology of poverty.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Feb 28, 2006	Home (2006)	100%
	"It's tough to connect with the almost context-free displays of emotion, and a century into the era of psychoanalysis, there's little about the men's assorted troubles with mothers and fathers, wives and girlfriends, that comes as a revelation." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 14, 2006	Desert Wind (2006)	25%
No Rating	"How to Eat is finally nostalgic, albeit less so for Van Peebles, who at 73 remains active on multiple artistic fronts, than for a lost era when brash individualism and radical politics seemed to go hand in hand." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 19, 2006	How To Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (And Enjoy It) (2005)	92%
	"Director Nicolas Rossier gives significant time to the disloyal opposition." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 7, 2005	Aristide and the Endless Revolution (2006)	100%
