Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh B+	Fresh 67%	Snow Angels (2008)	" Green doesn’t want the viewer dumbfounded as to how to react so much as to match every laugh with a shudder. It’s a balance of humiliation and empathy that ultimately works." Posted Nov 5, 2007
Fresh 71/100	Fresh 88%	Quiet City (2007)	" Quiet City was the festival highlight, for me." Posted Jun 27, 2007
Fresh 60/100	N/A	Life is a Bed of Roses (1983)	" What happens when a skeptic tackles tranquility? He makes it look dangerous." Posted Jun 27, 2007
Fresh 70/100	Rotten 56%	Zoo (2007)	" Zoo is the formal antithesis of To Catch a Predator-like exposés in its presentation of outcasts." Posted Jun 25, 2007
Fresh 64/100	Fresh 86%	Monkey Warfare (2006)	" A self-professed student of Godard, [Reginald] Harkema more closely resembles another Godard acolyte, Tarantino, right down to the latter's love of weed, foxy chicks, and subtle deceptiveness." Posted Jun 25, 2007
Fresh 61/100	Rotten 38%	Congorama (2006)	" The film's catalogue of absurdity is so colorful that it needn't be mined for impact, and [Phillippe] Falardeau takes the matter-of-fact route, merely gawking at the wreckage." Posted Jun 25, 2007
Rotten 33/100	Fresh 80%	Gretchen (2006)	" *As Steve Collins' Gretchen* proves, not all Amerindies on the festival circuit are made by guys you'd expect to run into in a John Cassavetes festival.**" Posted Jun 25, 2007
Rotten 53/100	Rotten 58%	Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)	" The result is a mesh of creative sensibilities that never quite congeals." Posted Jun 25, 2007
Rotten C	Rotten 59%	Dans Paris (2007)	" [Romain] Duris is well and fine, and [Dans Paris] would do well to stick with him, but [Christophe] Honoré seems so wary of the pitfalls of the psychological drama that he has declined to make one at all." Posted Jun 25, 2007
Fresh B	N/A	Honor de Cavalleria (2006)	" It is [worth seeing], but [Albert] Serra's watch-or--off contempt remains present throughout." Posted Jun 25, 2007
Fresh 74/100	N/A	The Spy in Black (1939)	" It's a peculiar and rather wonderful mismatch of subject matter and tone that, if not a success at elucidating great moral complexities of war, asks us to take unusual and perhaps unflattering pleasure in old intrigues." Posted Jun 25, 2007
Rotten	Fresh 76%	Match Point (2005)	" A filmmaker out of touch with his own neuroses, making a final bid for recognition by exacerbating lives beyond his reach." Posted Oct 30, 2006

Rotten C-	Fresh 61%	The New World (2005)	" Lazily reassuring, a dime-store haiku, and a master’s nadir." Posted Oct 30, 2006

—	Fresh 63%	Chain (2006)	Click here to read article Posted Oct 30, 2006
Fresh B	Fresh 79%	Le Petit Lieutenant (2006)	" So, it can't quite be said that [Xavier Beauvois] is bereft of novel, impressively lurid ideas for murders, because he's expressly against them, if we're to take Antoine's lust for intrigue as our own." Posted Sep 6, 2006
Fresh B+	Rotten 42%	The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things (2006)	" [The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things] has a deceptively desultory structure where no moral system or 'new daddy' seems to hold much water upon introduction, but each accumulates ideas which make an atavistic reappearance at the most inopportune of tim" Posted Sep 6, 2006
Fresh B+	Fresh 71%	Bubble (2006)	" *The film is called Bubble, but it represents the first time in ages Steven Soderbergh has worked outside of his personal territory.*" Posted Sep 6, 2006
Fresh A	Fresh 88%	Mutual Appreciation (2006)	" More than an effortlessly perceptive observer, Bujalski has honed deceptively stylized visuals to serve deceptively stylized drama. Isolated by their lonesome, compositions are so inert as to seem intentionally inexpressive, but altogether, a visual strat" Posted Sep 6, 2006
Rotten C	N/A	The Hole Story (2005)	" For a tale of single-minded devotion, [The Hole Story] shines in those few occasions when Alex [Karpovsky]'s nerve is overtaken by booze, love or despair -- a lot like life." Posted Jun 12, 2006
