Fresh 3/4	N/A	El Camino (2009)	" An existentially loaded road trip, El Camino succeeds thanks to director Erik Weigel, tackling his first full-length feature, and a talented cast that includes Elisabeth Moss of Mad Men." Posted Jan 16, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 74%	Virtual JFK (2008)	" The word Iraq is never uttered, but there's no avoiding it as Kennedy asserts during the Bay of Pigs crisis that to attack Cuba, a country that hadn't attacked the United States, would be contrary to our national tradition." Posted Jan 8, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 58%	Humboldt County (2008)	" *Be prepared: Humboldt County* is a slow starter. But what appears to be the cliched uptight nerd liberated by flighty sprite tale evolves into something deeper, darker, more resonant.**" Posted Nov 20, 2008
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 35%	Tru Loved (2008)	" Tru Loved is worth a look for the supporting cast alone." Posted Oct 18, 2008
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 9%	Red Roses and Petrol (2008)	" Little about the Doyles makes you want to partake of their sour hospitality, even if it�s only for an hour and a half." Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 37%	Dark Matter (2008)	" The film does a fine job of displaying the contrasts between these tense, formalized Chinese students and the faux populist American academics." Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 86%	Times and Winds (2008)	" Erdem�s script and his young cast do a fine job of recalling the years between carefree childhood (embodied by Omer�s brother, the precocious and adorable Ali) and adult power and duties." Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 96%	Moving Midway (2008)	" *In its 98 minutes, film critic Godfrey Cheshire�s documentary Moving Midway* records an amazing architectural feat, and that�s the least of its virtues.**" Posted Oct 18, 2008
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 68%	Save Me (2007)	" A melodrama better suited to the Logo network than to theaters." Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 75%	A Man Named Pearl (2008)	" Fryar is such pleasant company that the film's weaknesses can be overlooked." Posted Oct 3, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 62%	Monster Camp (2007)	" *How much audiences will like Monster Camp* may depend on their ability/need to abandon their everyday personas for weekends of fantasy dress-up and battles.**" Posted Sep 4, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 74%	Praying with Lior (2007)	" [Director Ilana] Trachtman doesn't downplay the challenges of a family with a Down syndrome child, even one as high-functioning as Lior." Posted Jul 24, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 100%	Kenny (2008)	" *A hit and prize winner in Australia, Kenny* has the power to charm, no matter which way the water swirls.**" Posted Jul 17, 2008
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 100%	Indestructible (2008)	" Byer, despite the lousy hand fate dealt him, wasn�t much about gloom." Posted Jul 17, 2008
Fresh 3/4	N/A	Forgiveness (2004)	" Though the film could have used better explainers for some of its talking heads...its message is as satisfying as the sweetest revenge." Posted Jul 9, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 93%	Shotgun Stories (2007)	" Director Jeff Nichols lets the action unfold slowly following an impromptu insult, but the escalation of hatred and pain feels natural." Posted Jul 9, 2008
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 53%	A Four Letter Word (2008)	" Archer�s acting is overly arch, but Cory Grant is quite effective as Zeke." Posted Jun 24, 2008
Rotten 1/4	N/A	Fade (2008)	" Arthur provides some overly mannered narration via a journal he's been keeping, but that also offers few clues to how much of what we're seeing is real or imagined." Posted May 1, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 39%	The Favor (2008)	" The Favor measures the costs of crushing disappointment and the strength of love, and though those themes are the stuff of soap opera, writer/director Eva Aridjis recruited just the right cast to keep the suds at bay." Posted Apr 10, 2008
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 38%	The Grand (2008)	" It's hard to believe that a lineup so stellar could generate so few laughs, but there it is." Posted Apr 3, 2008

Fresh 3/4	Fresh 79%	The Memory Thief (2008)	" Tragedy and closure, memory and truth are the subjects of writer/director Gil Kofman's first narrative feature." Posted Mar 20, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 80%	The Business Of Being Born (2008)	" Former talk show host Ricki Lake had her first baby in a hospital and came away with the need for a birth experience that was more empowering, with less medical intervention." Posted Feb 15, 2008
Fresh 3/4	N/A	Honey and Clover (2006)	" *Sho Sakurai is the Michael Cera of Japan as the lovestruck hero of Honey and Clover,* directed by Masahiro Takasa from the popular Japanese comic by Chica Umino.**" Posted Feb 15, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 80%	Daughters of Wisdom (2007)	" Harshly beautiful." Posted Feb 1, 2008
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 90%	Note by Note: The Making of the Steinway L1037 (2007)	" It's inspirational to watch and listen as the Steinway employees demonstrate with pride their part in producing an instrument that will sell for more than $100,000 and may succeed some of its brethren on the stage at Carnegie Hall." Posted Jan 18, 2008
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 75%	Oswald's Ghost (2007)	" *After a strong start, Oswald's Ghost* ends up as ephemeral as its namesake.**" Posted Nov 15, 2007
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 77%	I Have Never Forgotten You (2007)	" More objective filmmakers might have delved a little deeper and produced something more real." Posted Oct 20, 2007
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 86%	Shadow Company (2007)	" Shadow Company provides a pretty thorough examination of the unknown soldiers doing a lot of the heavy lifting there, outside the conventional rules of warfare." Posted Oct 6, 2007
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 79%	Manda Bala (2007)	" We see where this is going early on; by the end, despite the film's beautiful cinematography, persuasive subjects and ironically upbeat soundtrack, we just feel bludgeoned." Posted Sep 27, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 38%	Sydney White (2007)	" Sydney White, according to its producers, is a sequel to Hilary Duff's A Cinderella Story, and it shares with that 2004 film the vacuum-like ability to suck the fun out of a fairy tale." Posted Sep 21, 2007
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 80%	Kamp Katrina (2007)	" *For a much more micro look at the storm's impact upon a small band of New Orleans eccentrics, there's David Redmon and Ashley Sabin's Kamp Katrina.*" Posted Aug 30, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 31%	Eye of the Dolphin (2007)	" As Eye of the Dolphin makes some jarringly contrived plot twists, a viewer can imagine writer/director/executive producer Michael Sellers listing his assets and pondering how to combine them for one movie." Posted Aug 23, 2007
