Fresh	Fresh 60%	Paper Heart (2009)	" A "hybrid documentary" that bemusedly blurs the line between fact and fiction." Posted Aug 5, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 96%	The Cove (2009)	" A suspenseful, compelling indictment of Japan's deadly dolphin-exploitation industry." Posted Jul 29, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 78%	It Might Get Loud (2009)	" Mortals will tremble as guitar gods assemble for this remarkable rock 'n roll film." Posted Jul 2, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 88%	Sin Nombre (2009)	" Intense Spanish-language feature debut intrigues but doesn't quite gel." Posted Apr 17, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 75%	Cold Souls (2009)	" This smartly crafted feature debut appealingly capitalizes on its star's well-worn persona." Posted Apr 8, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 97%	Let the Right One In (2008)	" An imaginative, sympathetic spin on a classic horror theme." Posted Oct 24, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Spirit of the Marathon (2008)	" A docu that makes pounding the pavement appear utterly uplifting." Posted Sep 15, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 66%	Ping Pong Playa (2007)	" A winning comedy that entertainingly elevates a low-profile sport." Posted Sep 3, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 32%	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	" A fairly routine crime procedural more suitable to the small screen than the wide screen." Posted Jul 24, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 89%	Planet B-Boy (2008)	" Planet B-Boy pays fitting homage to both breakers' impressive dance skills and the roots of hip-hop culture. Agile camerawork propels the narrative at a brisk pace, and crisp editing synchs rhythmically with the score's propulsive beat." Posted Mar 26, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Flow: For Love of Water (2008)	" Along with this sobering information, filmmaker Irena Salina's docu includes a distinct note of optimism that should help the film flow smoothly through the festival pipeline before eventually settling on DVD." Posted Mar 10, 2008
Fresh	N/A	Chronic Town (2008)	" With biting humor and refreshing humanism, [director Tom] Hines takes a cold-eyed look at credible individuals struggling with addiction and dysfunction." Posted Mar 10, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 79%	Crips and Bloods: Made in America (2009)	" Although the film's strength is clearly its definitive point of view, this perspective sometimes comes at the expense of a more rigorously objective treatment." Posted Mar 10, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 67%	King of Ping Pong (2008)	" suitably understated" Posted Mar 10, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 11%	Hell Ride (2008)	" *Even on its own terms, Hell Ride* lacks sufficient substance to be of more than quickly passing interest for all but the most devoted fans.**" Posted Feb 26, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 71%	American Teen (2008)	" Fun and facile in much the same way reality TV is. You may have a good time, but you'll hate yourself in the morning." Posted Jan 31, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 89%	Absurdistan (2008)	" An attempt at comic allegory that stretches a thin premise to feature length." Posted Jan 30, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 36%	August (2008)	" The actors are not well supported by Howard A. Rodman's self-satisfied script, which would rather tell than show, relying at several points on long, smug speeches that bring the narrative to a grinding halt." Posted Jan 30, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 37%	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	" A supersized problem gets the superficial treatment." Posted Jan 28, 2008
Fresh	N/A	Mancora (2009)	" A taut, stylish drama...represents a noteworthy sophomore feature from the Peruvian director." Posted Jan 24, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 91%	Still Life (2008)	" The film lacks sufficient individuatism or narrative drive to compellingly propel Jia's script (co-written with Sun Jianmin and Guan Na), making its title all too true." Posted Dec 18, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 35%	Finishing the Game (2007)	" Good-naturedly confront issues of racism and the stereotyping of Asian-American actors to question whether the bad old days are really so far in the past." Posted Feb 6, 2007
Rotten	Fresh 88%	Hear and Now (2007)	" Missing is any meaningful context about either the medical procedure or its significance among the deaf." Posted Feb 2, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 37%	Dark Matter (2008)	" Challenging subject matter best suited to discerning audiences." Posted Feb 2, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 64%	King of California (2007)	" A sweet-natured exploration of a father and daughter seeking elusive harmony." Posted Jan 27, 2007
