Fresh	Fresh 94%	The Triplets of Belleville (2003)	" Finding a delicate balance between dystopia and nostalgia, this diaphanous, baroque vision isn't just a disarming trifle: it's genuinely transporting." — PopMatters Posted Dec 5, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 91%	School of Rock (2003)	" A welcome reminder that studio comedies need not be shoddy, dumbed down, vulgar, and impersonal." — PopMatters Posted Nov 1, 2003

Fresh	Fresh 96%	Little Big Man (1970)	" This outraged reconfiguration of an all-American genre may be set in the Wild West, but it's also very much a bulletin of its time." — PopMatters Posted Aug 30, 2003

Fresh	Fresh 86%	Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary (2003)	" Far from gimmicky, it's as personal and unreserved as filmmaking gets." — PopMatters Posted May 16, 2003

Fresh	Fresh 95%	The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002)	" A fast-moving, fluidly told tale, Eugene Jarecki's documentary certainly will likely inflame Kissinger's ardent cronies. And yet, as one-sided as its story is, the movie also manages a measured disposition." — PopMatters Posted Oct 11, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 87%	Vanya on 42nd Street (1994)	" It's more than a worthy capper to Malle's brilliant career." — PopMatters Posted Oct 4, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 78%	8 Women (2002)	" Drop-dead pretty and confidently assembled, it's a shameless, extravagant charmer -- at first. As the movie goes on, it goes deeper, too, until the bleak melancholia that lurks beneath the surface violently breaks through." — PopMatters Posted Sep 20, 2002
—	Fresh 71%	Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture (1983)	Click here to read article — PopMatters Posted Sep 9, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 61%	Les Destinees (2002)	" Death awaits us all, but Assayas, with a humanist's generosity, offers his characters the greatest gift art can give: immortality." — PopMatters Posted Sep 9, 2002
—	Fresh 82%	Secret Ballot (2002)	Click here to read article — PopMatters Posted Sep 9, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 96%	Time Out (2002)	" Paced like a Chabrol film and just as riveting." — PopMatters Posted Sep 9, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 88%	I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002)	" The movie may suffer from creative anemia, but it has sense enough of its raison d'�tre, and the performance sequences carry the day." — PopMatters Posted Aug 23, 2002
—	Fresh 90%	The Fast Runner (2002)	Click here to read article — PopMatters Posted Jun 21, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 91%	Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002)	" Peralta's product may have the whiff of sell-out, but you may find that you're too busy buying it to care." — PopMatters Posted May 11, 2002
