	"Pushes the eccentric without creating believable characters." Posted Feb 5, 2008	The Last Word (2008)	n/a
	"Not very convincing or funny." Posted Feb 5, 2008	Birds of America (2008)	n/a
	"Editors Michael Taylor, Geoffrey Richman and [director Margaret Brown] have stitched the material together to make a lively and revealing portrait of life in the New South." Posted Jan 30, 2008	The Order of Myths (2008)	100%
	"Seductive and horrifying at the same time...The film opens with a rush of energy and doesn't let up." Posted Jan 30, 2008	The Wave (2008)	n/a
	"Michelle William's riveting performance as the young mother makes it imminently watchable." Posted Jan 28, 2008	Incendiary (2008)	n/a
	"Whimsical tale of a sex addict is good for some laughs but ultimately doesn't rise to the occasion." Posted Jan 28, 2008	Choke (2008)	82%
	"The immigrant experience has been seen many times on film before but rarely with the authenticity, wit and intelligence of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's Sugar." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Sugar (2008)	n/a
	"With the eye of a veteran documentarian, [Lisa] Jackson sees the innocence, colorfulness and spirit of the Congo in the background, but what she presents is a country that clearly will not be whole until its women are protected." Posted Jan 24, 2008	Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo (2008)	n/a
	"The film has a great energy and means what it says." Posted Jan 24, 2008	North Starr (2008)	n/a
	"A unique record of an artist's journey." Posted Jan 23, 2008	Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008)	63%
	"Just when you think you've seen every possible variation on the hit-man genre, Irish playwright Martin McDonagh in his feature debut has fashioned an audacious combination of Old World grace and modern ultraviolence." Posted Jan 18, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	80%
	"*The small, well-acted chamber drama is a genre that has virtually disappeared from American screens, which is too bad when you see one as accomplished as Live-in Maid." Posted Jul 18, 2007*	Live-In Maid (2004)	100%
	"In this sub-genre of Gen Y comedies, quirky has somehow come to mean dumb. Perhaps teens, especially guys, enjoy seeing people on screen who are not as smart as they are. It's the real revenge of the nerds." Posted Feb 6, 2007	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	55%
	"While it is never dull, and occasionally sparks, material fails to ignite." Posted Feb 6, 2007	Interview (2007)	58%
	"*While The Good Life* is stylistically ambitious and heartfelt, it feels more forced than authentic.*" Posted Jan 30, 2007*	The Good Life (2007)	20%
	"Wonderful and winning Irish musical." Posted Jan 30, 2007	Once (2007)	97%
	"Enlightening docu about an unknown chapter in the history of racism." Posted Jan 30, 2007	Banished: How Whites Drove Blacks Out of Town in America (2007)	85%
	"Indispensable, beautifully crafted account of a little-known Japanese massacre." Posted Jan 30, 2007	Nanking (2007)	98%
	"*Veteran documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield makes an impressive leap to features with Ghosts." Posted Jan 27, 2007*	Ghosts (2006)	100%
	"Fanning projects a strange mix of innocence and awareness. The triumph of her performance is her ability to turn it on and off in the same scene, sometimes even in the same shot." Posted Jan 26, 2007	Hounddog (2007)	20%
	"These are not characters most people can sympathy with. One tends to watch dispassionately as the inevitable plays out." Posted Jan 25, 2007	Weapons (2007)	0%
	"Complex and satisfying New York literary drama." Posted Jan 25, 2007	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
	"Clever and moderately entertaining, film is a puzzle that will find some supporters as surely as it will sharply divide audiences." Posted Jan 25, 2007	On the Road with Judas (2007)	60%
	"Not only does the film thoroughly and skillfully explain the context in which something as heinous as Abu Ghraib could happen, it attempts to understand the psychology of those involved." Posted Jan 25, 2007	Ghosts of Abu Ghraib (2007)	100%
	"The film is beautifully shot by Mike Turnbull and Nick Manley, including a moody black and white scene in the cemetery and a lovely crane shot looking out at the doomed neighborhood." Posted Jan 25, 2007	A Very British Gangster (2008)	67%
	"Skillfully shot and edited." Posted Jan 25, 2007	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	93%
	"One big asset is his excellent use of music, including the child-like plaintive wailing of a group called Deerhoof. Other smart choices include songs by Cat Power and the Stokes, all expertly edited into the flow of the story." Posted Jan 24, 2007	Dedication (2007)	41%
	"That the film doesn't rise above the formulaic is a particular disappointment as these stunningly brave Rescue Swimmers deserve a film as daring as they are." Posted Sep 29, 2006	The Guardian (2006)	37%
	"... about as inspirational as a yawn." Posted Sep 14, 2006	Gridiron Gang (2006)	43%
	"Loverboy may have been better suited to the page where it could have the subtlety and resonance missing on screen. As a film it works on only one level -- crazy love." Posted Jun 15, 2006	Loverboy (2006)	18%
	"Experiment in film form is interesting but doesn't quite pay off." Posted Apr 11, 2006	Police Beat (2005)	64%
	"Predictable and decidedly old-fashioned in its sensibility, the film is likely to win over audiences if not critics." Posted Apr 8, 2006	Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (2006)	24%
	"The Illusionist is like a dreamscape existing between sleep and consciousness, the old world and the new." Posted Feb 1, 2006	The Illusionist (2006)	75%
	"An intriguing meditation on aging, the impermanence of time and man's place in nature." Posted Jan 31, 2006	House of Sand (2005)	79%
	"Ryan Gosling establishes himself as a major talent and one of the finest young actors around." Posted Jan 31, 2006	Half Nelson (2006)	91%
	"Taylor and his friends seem to be having a great time but could have let the audience in on the joke." Posted Jan 31, 2006	The Darwin Awards (2006)	25%
	"An incredibly powerful story of renewal, commitment and the resiliency of the human spirit." Posted Jan 26, 2006	God Grew Tired of Us (2007)	91%
	"Loaded with obtuse symbolism, the film is not only hard to understand, it isn't much fun trying to figure it out." Posted Jan 26, 2006	The Hawk Is Dying (2007)	27%
	"A thoughtful dissection of the courtship and marriage of two ultimately mismatched New Yorkers." Posted Jan 24, 2006	Flannel Pajamas (2006)	52%
	"A satisfying and very skillful piece of filmmaking." Posted Jan 24, 2006	In Between Days (2006)	84%
	"Life-affirming without being saccharine and enormously entertaining." Posted Jan 24, 2006	Quinceanera (2006)	86%
	"*A family drama that is the visual equivalent of a Bruce Springsteen song, Steel City* offers several standout performances and a satisfying low-key story.*" Posted Jan 23, 2006*	Steel City (2006)	86%
	"The film plays like an open window on the mind of an obsessed and tortured artist." Posted Jan 23, 2006	Wide Awake (2006)	80%
	"A stunning statement on how we mistreat our best and bravest young men." Posted Jan 22, 2006	The Ground Truth (2006)	87%
	"The funniest dirty joke you'll ever hear." Posted Jul 18, 2005	The Aristocrats (2005)	80%
	"It's the kind of engaged, political filmmaking that is rarely seen today, and it's a welcome and powerful addition to the canon." Posted Jun 28, 2005	This Revolution (2006)	20%
	"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room is not only a great cautionary tale, it's a civics lesson that should be seen by every concerned citizen." Posted Apr 22, 2005	Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)	97%
	"*If The Wizard of Oz* were reborn in the 21st century, it might look a lot like MirrorMask.*" Posted Feb 5, 2005*	MirrorMask (2005)	52%
	"Thoughtful and extremely well-made." Posted Feb 2, 2005	Why We Fight (2006)	79%
	"It is a film that should be required viewing by all citizens, especially students, if we hope not to repeat this awful chapter." Posted Oct 15, 2004	Home Of The Brave (2004)	92%
