Fresh	Fresh 88%	Frozen River (2008)	" Nothing comes easy in this movie except admiration for its ambitions and accomplishments." Posted Aug 4, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	" *Watching Gonzo, it's hard to like Thompson much, but even harder not to be dazzled by his talent.*" Posted Jul 3, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 96%	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	" Bigger, Stronger, Faster is not just an impressive first film, it's an impressive film." Posted Jun 1, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 73%	Stuck (2007)	" The primordial image of [a woman] driving around with half of a man on her hood invokes titters of discomfort ... But director Stuart Gordon ... hasn't a clue what to do with this story." Posted May 22, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 51%	Then She Found Me (2008)	" Helen Hunt probably could have made this into a delightful little comedy or a thoughtful drama. But the clumsy mixing of those elements makes for an awkward mess." Posted May 9, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Without the King (2008)	" ... the ultimate experience of Skolnik's film is seeing a country that seems about to disappear from the face of the earth." Posted Apr 27, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 24%	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	" *With over eight months left in the year, it requires a certain audacity to declare that The Life Before Her Eyes* is, and will always be, the absolute worst film of 2008 ...**" Posted Apr 8, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 90%	The Visitor (2008)	" If McCarthy is the divinity of the universe he creates, its patron saint is Frank Capra ... The primordial truth about Capra's and McCarthy's characters is that if you scratch beneath the surface, just about everyone is decent." Posted Apr 7, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 64%	Stop-Loss (2008)	" ... if Pierce is going to create a character who has the deep desire ... to resist the military- then she owes it to Brandon to let him be true to himself." Posted Apr 7, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 98%	The Band's Visit (2007)	" But not for nothing was it nominated for thirteen Israeli Academy Awards, winning eight, including best screenplay, actor, actress, director, and picture." Posted Mar 2, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 79%	Chicago 10 (2008)	" Morgen's film suffers from two fatal flaws: prosaic story-telling and political naivete." Posted Mar 1, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 91%	There Will Be Blood (2007)	" There Will Be Blood has no characters who repay our working to get inside them, and it has no thoughts beyond cliches about our country." Posted Dec 21, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 44%	Redacted (2007)	" Brian DePalma has written and directed a deeply anti-American film, and that should be acknowledged, embraced, and defended as one legitimate reading of our country in 2007." Posted Nov 28, 2007
Rotten	Fresh 77%	I'm Not There (2007)	" Alas, this isn't the first time that writer/director Haynes has created a film with a stunning conceit that never reels in its audience." Posted Nov 28, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 93%	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	" It is a work of art, with no apologies for that word." Posted Oct 30, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 82%	Into the Wild (2007)	" *Into the Wild*" Posted Oct 17, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 94%	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	" *My Kid Could Paint That*" Posted Oct 17, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Lake of Fire (2007)	" Kaye denies that his film has a political bias, but it does. " Posted Oct 17, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 88%	The Camden 28 (2007)	" Giacchino has created a film in which every practical question has ethical implications...The Camden 28 opens our thinking to the values and calculations which guided these noble activists and their equally noble attorneys." Posted Jul 23, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 76%	Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007)	" Based on their press materials, they think they have made a film damning capital punishment and exploring Britain's most famous executioner. In fact, they haven't. But they have made a film of artistic beauty and endless fascination." Posted Jul 10, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 82%	Manufactured Landscapes (2007)	" "Manufactured Landscapes" is long on heart and short on brains. The result is a technically dazzling film with its heart in the right place. But it's just too thoughtless to become fine art." Posted Jul 10, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 67%	The Nines (2007)	" August's screenplay for "The Nines" is fun, confusing, provocative...And if he isn't as edgy or daring as he might be, there's much to be said for a film that's as entertaining and thought-provoking as the best episodes of The Twilight Zone." Posted Jul 10, 2007
Rotten	Fresh 77%	A Mighty Heart (2007)	" The most interesting thing about A Mighty Heart is why it became a mediocre film." Posted Jul 10, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 69%	L'Iceberg (2005)	" In stillness and frantic movement these characters somehow survive and endure. We aren't laughing out loud. But we are staring in stunned gasping delight." Posted Apr 23, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Stephanie Daley (2007)	" Brougher brings a particularly female sensibility to her work. I think most male writer-directors would structure this story around choices and actions. Will Stephanie accept a plea bargain? Will Lydie push her patient into facing the truth? Will" Posted Apr 23, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 66%	Jindabyne (2007)	" By the end of his films- this idiosyncratic style, complex plotting, and core values about intimacy produce a combination of exhaustion, well-being, and a bit of unease. At the conclusion of "Jindabyne," while Lawrence's torturous journey has given more" Posted Apr 23, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Red Road (2007)	" Red Road is a portrait of a voyeur, and it invites us to become voyeurs of the voyeur." Posted Apr 16, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 60%	300 (2007)	" It's an enjoyable two hours." Posted Apr 9, 2007
