	"Without ever surrendering its deadpan naturalism, La France becomes increasingly poetic: The seasons change, the landscape grows barren, and the stars in the sky take their names from the dead men below." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 10, 2008	La France (2007)	100%
	"One of the many surreal aspects of this fabulously disorienting movie: its representation of an Iraqi heaven that's an American hell." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 10, 2008	Full Battle Rattle (2008)	78%
	"Once more into the breach, Ken Jacobs further explores the ground zero of cinematic representation." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 25, 2008	Razzle Dazzle: The Lost World (2008)	83%
	"Highly entertaining." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 25, 2008	The Last Mistress (2008)	77%
	"A pleasant surprise." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 17, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
	"My Winnipeg is Maddin's best filmmaking since the not-dissimilar confessional bargain-basement phantasmagoria, Cowards Bend the Knee. The editing is dense; the action is fluid." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 11, 2008	My Winnipeg (2008)	96%
	"*Perhaps because Herzog is approaching old-master status, Encounters at the End of the World* skews toward the observational.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jun 11, 2008	Encounters at the End of the World (2008)	94%
	"This essentially comic tale maps a contagion of mutual exploitation that seems to have burnished the careers of everyone involved." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 4, 2008	Operation Filmmaker (2008)	96%
	"Theodore Flicker's genial exercise in comic paranoia re-emerges, for no apparent reason, a reasonably fit and funny artifact from the age of grooviness." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 4, 2008	The President's Analyst (1967)	81%
	"Paraguayan Hammock is like a piece of music that improves with familiarity." -- Village Voice Posted May 14, 2008	Paraguayan Hammock (2008)	56%
	"Paraguayan Hammock is like a piece of music that improves with familiarity." -- Village Voice Posted May 14, 2008	Theater of War (2008)	n/a
	"The result is contrived, but compelling -- as is the movie's high-powered humanism." -- Village Voice Posted May 14, 2008	Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)	83%
	"*Ideologically anti-corporate, previous Wachowski productions aspired to be something more than mind-less sensation; Speed Racer* is thrilled to be less. It's the delusions minus the grandeur.*" -- Village Voice* Posted May 7, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
	"*Ostensibly a conventional tale of triad loyalty, As Tears Go By* announced the presence of a genuine Hong Kong new wave -- as well as an ambitious cineaste.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 30, 2008	As Tears Go By (1988)	71%
	"With his 10th feature -- an entertaining tale of high-stakes martial arts -- Mamet has infused the sleight of hand with a measure of two-fisted action." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 29, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	72%
	"A multilayered, self-consciously Joycean, naturally psychedelic epic." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 29, 2008	Dog Star Man (1964)	100%
	"*Unfortunately, nothing in Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo* is funnier than its title.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 23, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
	"*Since The Thin Blue Line's remarkable intervention, Morris's work has grown more public and more problematic -- lofty yet snide, a form of know-it-all epistemological inquiry." -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 23, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
	"A cynic might view Spurlock's seven-month exploration of civilization's cradle as a form of conjugal competition." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 16, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
	"*However artless its presentation, Stalags* imparts material that's difficult to shake off and impossible to dismiss.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 8, 2008	Stalags (2008)	50%
	"*Indifferently shot and only competently acted, Tehilim* derives its emotional force from the inchoate spiritual torment that the older son suffers.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 8, 2008	Tehilim (2007)	29%
	"By any standard, a long strange trip." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 2, 2008	The Saragossa Manuscript (1965)	89%
	"Bleakly wistful, regarding its essentially lonely characters with a gaze both tender and lethal." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 2, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	86%
	"Spare yet tactile, a mysterious mixture of lightness and gravity." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 25, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	97%
	"*There's basically only one reason to see Olivier Assayas's self-consciously hypermodern, meta-sleazy, English-French-Chinese-language globo-thriller Boarding Gate, and her name is Asia Argento." -- Village Voice* Posted Mar 18, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	26%
	"*Easily fits the paradigm parodied by Funny Games. The difference: This movie actually has a political point." -- Village Voice* Posted Mar 11, 2008	Blind Mountain (2008)	75%
	"Without ever acknowledging his own sadism, Haneke self-righteously lays his aesthetic and moral cards on the table." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 11, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	50%
	"A Face in the Crowd has never ceased to be relevant." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 27, 2008	A Face in the Crowd (1957)	90%
	"*However authentically chaotic, Chicago 10* is insufficiently frenzied. For all its shock value, the trial was not the only game in town.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Feb 27, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	76%
	"A fragile, somewhat precious celebration of DIY filmmaking and cult-film consumption." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 20, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	68%
	"*At once cerebral film essay and unsweetened ear candy, Pere Portabella's The Silence Before Bach* is nearly as tough to categorize as its maker.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jan 29, 2008	Silence Before Bach, The (2008)	91%
	"As the current obsession with Reagan suggests, it's back to fantasyland!" -- Village Voice Posted Jan 29, 2008	Rambo (2008)	35%
	"4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a movie one watches in a state of mounting dread. Romanian writer-director Cristian Mungiu's brilliantly discomfiting second feature is one long premonition of disaster." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 22, 2008	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
	"What's striking about Still Life is its micro-analytical curiosity: Judgment seems suspended -- like the bridge that magically lights up over the Yangtze or the unlikely tightrope walker glimpsed in the movie's last shot." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 15, 2008	Still Life (2008)	91%
	"The movie is what it is -- a sustained mood, an empty allegory, a choreographed moment outside of time, and a shocking intimation of perfection." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 15, 2008	Last Year at Marienbad (1961)	93%
	"[An] immaculately constructed movie." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 8, 2008	Woman on the Beach (2008)	88%
	"This is truly a work of symphonic aspirations and masterful execution." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 28, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
	"As much as he's a filmmaker, Burton is also a graphic artist in the tradition of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey -- and here he's successfully incorporated Sweeney Todd into his own distinctively dank and spidery gothic world." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 18, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
	"Two-Lane Blacktop is a movie of achingly eloquent landscapes and absurdly inert characters." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 13, 2007	Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)	92%
	"That Williams's personality never comes into focus has the effect of making his 15 minutes of fame all the more sad and ghostly." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2007	A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)	75%
	"This is hardly Coppola's greatest movie, but it's far from his worst -- its bid for a new beginning is one from the heart." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
	"A movie of undeniable gravitas and monumentality -- even if it is too fond of its own effects." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 4, 2007	The Violin (2007)	94%
	"*This is a serious movie and, gliding around the center of power, a stylish one. But, like its protagonist, The Walker* is unable to close the deal.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Dec 4, 2007	The Walker (2007)	52%
	"A dark and smoky affair that, although set in Germany during the Black Death summer of 1349, suggests something brainstormed in a St. Marks Place head shop." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 14, 2007	The Pied Piper (1972)	33%
	"*Bergman's tale of heedless teenage love is a sort of neorealist Rebel Without a Cause* -- except that sex is acknowledged and the outlaw is a girl.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Nov 13, 2007	Monika (1952)	100%
	"*The most authentic thing about Redacted* is the rage with which it was made.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Nov 13, 2007	Redacted (2007)	43%
	"Rivette's last shot is an extraordinary throwaway that provoked spontaneous applause for being at once completely ordinary, totally unexpected, and positively diabolical in shifting the meaning of the entire previous 12 1/2 hours." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 12, 2007	Out 1, Noli Me Tangere (1971)	100%
	"*In its willful, self-involved eccentricity, Southland Tales* is really something else. Kelly's movie may not be entirely coherent, but that's because there's so much it wants to say.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Nov 6, 2007	Southland Tales (2007)	34%
	"In this overwhelmingly beautiful movie, a sad, short, brutalized life is elevated to ecstatic myth." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 30, 2007	Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1964)	100%
	"*Ambitious as American Gangster* is, it's well suited to Denzel Washington's particular star quality.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Oct 30, 2007	American Gangster (2007)	79%
