"This film demands to be rewatched, its jigsaw of lacerated lives assembled again . . . reaches a dirge-like crescendo . . . [There's] a fascinating torrent of convoluted introspection and stubborn perseverance in the women here."

Dear Frankie (2005)

"A rarity: a heartstring-puller that’s never manipulative, a tearjerker that’s never sentimental or maudlin, and a drama that soars whenever it should be in free fall."

Drowned Out (2004)

"A devastating, damning indictment of the Indian government's thirst to show the world how impressive and progressive their burgeoning economic empire can be."
