Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Anchored by a revelatory performance by Anne Hathaway as a little-girl-lost hiding behind an abrasive narcissist, "Rachel Getting Married" ... is almost a new form of filmmaking." |

Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |

The Reader (2008) |
"The Reader hasn't been flawlessly adapted from the page, but the film is sure to inspire just as much debate as its source. Winslet's Hannah Schmitz is unforgettable." |

Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"Right now, Recess: School's Out is the best film of 2001 that I have seen. I feel bad for us adults that are forced to deal with drivel like Valentine." |
