Across the Universe (2007)
"A shorter cut, stripped of some of the forced multiculturalism and contemporary political references, would play like gangbusters in middle schools."
American Teen (2008)
"Burstein either isn't aware of or has made a conscious decision to ignore the very "non-fiction" filmmaking that her subjects and their peers are likely most exposed to."
An Education (2009)
"An Education works as a fever dream of first love, but the wake-up is unsatisfying."
Antichrist (2009)
"A psychological thriller that looks like art but satisfies as a work of genre."
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
"Likely the most "difficult" film produced with Hollywood money and starring an A-list star since Eyes Wide Shut."
Audience Of One (2009)
"Real-life mockumentary."
