    ALISSA WILKINSON

    Agrees with the Tomatometer 93% of the time.

    Biography: Alissa grew up watching black-and-white movies with a lot of fedora-wearing charmers. Then she moved to New York City and started dating a filmmaker, and it was all over from there. An aficianado of the French New Wave, dark humor, and quiet, quirky drama, she loves anything made by David Fincher, Noah Baumbach, P.T. Anderson, Robert Altman, or Krzysztof Kielslowski, and thinks Stranger Than Fiction is the perfect film. Alissa is working on an M.A. in culture and media studies at New York University. She is editor-in-chief of The Curator, associate editor of Comment, and on staff at International Arts Movement, and her work regularly appears in Paste and Comment. In 2006, she married the filmmaker, and they are happy Brooklynites.

    Oh My God (2009)

    " There's nothing new unearthed in this film. The religious adherent won't have their mind changed, and the person who isn't sure what they believe won't find any help here, either."

    A Serious Man (2009)

    " Far more relatable than the Coens' recent work, and one cannot watch it without pondering some questions about the meaning of trials and the nature of fate."

    New York, I Love You (2009)

    " While some of the segments are well constructed, the overall quality is simply uneven, and the transitions between segments sometimes verge on the contrived."

    Cold Souls (2009)

    " While Cold Souls doesn't answer any of the questions it raises, it does provide a thought-provoking narrative framework from which to begin."

    The Great Buck Howard (2009)

    The Wrestler (2008)

    " Tour de force may be a cliched reviewer's phrase for performances during Oscar season, but it's the only one that can be applied to Rourke here."

    Adam Resurrected (2008)

    " Could have been a tour de force for director Paul Schrader and his cast, and the glimpses of greatness make the reality all the more disappointing."

    Doubt (2008)

    " Doubt brings assumptions about people and circumstances to the surface, and then challenges those assumptions with uncertainty and, yes, doubt. Nobody loses, but nobody wins, either"

    Brideshead Revisited (2008)

    " Though a story of the disappearing tradition of aristocracy, Brideshead Revisited is, at its core, a tale of the outworking of God's grace in people's lives."
