—	N/A	Oblivion (1994)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Apr 15, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Oblivion (2008)	" The result is a tender, poetically aimless movie by someone who no longer dwells among these stoic people, but feels like she might be the only one who remembers them." — Village Voice Posted Apr 14, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Observe and Report (2009)	" Ronnie the Mall Cop is as an iconic expression of irate proletarian populism and brainless role-playing as Joe the Plumber or Rush the Limbaugh -- identify or ignore at your peril." — Village Voice Posted Apr 8, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Of Time and the City (2009)	" No nostalgic 'Penny Lane' or 'Strawberry Fields' here. The filmmaker prefers an angrier form of sentimentality." — Village Voice Posted Jan 21, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Operation Filmmaker (2008)	" 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
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Out 1, Noli Me Tangere (1971)	" 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
Rotten	Fresh 69%	Ocean's Thirteen (2007)	" A spectacle blatantly predicated on a smug gaggle of mega movie stars in boss threads ostentatiously having fun by pretending to steal the house's money, while actually taking yours." — Village Voice Posted Jun 6, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 95%	Offside (2006)	" Panahi has things both ways -- his movie is critical and utopian, cinema verit� and political allegory." — Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Our Daily Bread (2006)	" Our Daily Bread is quietly radical in showing creatures whose existence is solely and inexorably a preparation for death." — Village Voice Posted Nov 14, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Old Joy (2006)	" Open-ended as it may appear, it has a crushing finality. For all the wool-gathering and guitar-noodling, this road movie is at least as tender as it is ironic." — Village Voice Posted Sep 19, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Our Brand Is Crisis (2005)	" *Exotic location notwithstanding, Rachel Boynton's riveting political documentary Our Brand Is Crisis* is a sequel to the Clinton-era campaign v�rit�, The War Room.*" — Village Voice* Posted Feb 28, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 94%	One, Two, Three (1961)	" One, Two, Three celebrates as it satirizes American cultural imperialism." — Village Voice Posted Jan 10, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 67%	Odessa Odessa (2005)	" A modernist travelogue, at once impressionistic and precise." — Village Voice Posted Mar 29, 2005
Rotten	Fresh 69%	Off the Map (2005)	" The perfs here are largely a matter of posing." — Village Voice Posted Mar 8, 2005
Rotten	Fresh 79%	Overnight (2004)	" Even a Slobodan like Weinstein would find Duffy's feature-length monologue grim going." — Village Voice Posted Nov 9, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 100%	On the Waterfront (1954)	" It is thanks to Brando that this posthumous Popular Front classic is a heart-clutcher from beginning to end." — Village Voice Posted Nov 2, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 80%	The Outskirts (1998)	" Lutsik's first feature is astonishingly precise in its effects and performances." — Village Voice Posted Mar 30, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 62%	Only the Strong Survive (2003)	" *Lacks the journalistic hook of Standing in the Shadows of Motown, but there are moments that will induce the susceptible to break into a big foolish grin." — Village Voice* Posted May 6, 2003
—	Fresh 78%	Owning Mahowny (2003)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Apr 29, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 82%	One Hour Photo (2002)	" Romanek's movie is a bit too pat and pleased with its undeniable ambitions, but the setup resonates with quiet desperation." — Village Voice Posted Aug 20, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 100%	One Day in the Life of Andrei Arsenevich (2001)	" A brilliant appreciation of the last great Soviet director, Andrei Tarkovsky." — Village Voice Posted Jan 8, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Ocean's Eleven (2001)	" Jazzy and insouciant, if not quite what Frank would have called classy." — Village Voice Posted Dec 4, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Once Upon a Time in China 2 (1991)	" More concentrated and svelte than its precursor, Once Upon a Time II also has the benefit of fights staged by Master Yuen Wo-Ping that show Jet Li�another camera-age hero�to even greater advantage." — Village Voice Posted Apr 25, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 89%	Once Upon a Time in China (1991)	" Gets better as it goes along, building up to a prolonged shipboard finale." — Village Voice Posted Apr 25, 2001
Rotten	Fresh 77%	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)	" The art direction is impeccable, but this is a pop-up book that I was impatient to slam." — Village Voice Posted Dec 21, 2000
—	Rotten 48%	Orgazmo (1998)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
—	Fresh 100%	The Ogre (1996)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
