The Hitcher (2007)19%

Posted Dec 1, 2006
 
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)31%

" As ugly as the war sequences are, DP Bruno Delbonnel's lens is equally adept at capturing the life-affirming glory of France in all its lush beauty, while Aline Bonetto's production design is both remarkably original and historically authentic."

A Very Long Engagement (2004)77%
/
 
" The failure is in the execution, and as script, direction and even make-up are abysmal, it is very difficult to believe a moment of Saw."

Posted Sep 14, 2004
 
Reconstruction (2004)76%
/
 
" Both psychologically revealing and richly comic."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Little Black Book (2004)22%

Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Intimate Strangers (2004)87%

Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
Garfield the Movie (2004)14%
/
 
" Like d.p. Mayse Alberti's overemphasis on dark interiors and gloomy exteriors, the music dresses an already dismal soap opera in somber tones that leave us vaguely despondent rather than caring."
Posted Aug 8, 2004
 
We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)65%
/
 
" Despite the frequent obviousness of the script and direction ... the story attains an undeniable, if somewhat soap opera-like, power."

Latter Days (2004)45%
