Saraband (2005) |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"Sarah Silverman is a lot of things -- young, pretty, thin, tasteless. But funny is not one of them." |

Save the Last Dance (2001) |

Say It Isn't So (2001) |
"If it were up to me, I would make sure the Farrellys never made another film, or at least that I never had to see another." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Scotland, PA (2002) |
"An uneven parody that sometimes amuses but just as often annoys." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
The Sea Inside (2004) |

The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003) |
"There are many films about marriages that aren't quite working, but I can’t name a better one at portraying just how difficult marriage and family life are, despite everyone's best intentions." |

Tomato |
Secret Lives: Hidden Children and Their Rescuers During WWII (2002) |
"It's good to be reminded of the existence of people willing to risk their lives to save someone else. Seeing this short film will reaffirm your faith in humanity." |

Tomato |
Secret Things (2003) |
"It's an extremely erotic film which is, amazingly, a feast for both brain and eye." |
Jean Lowerison |

Secretary (2002) |

Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire (2005) |

Shortbus (2006) |
