Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"A prime candidate for a time capsule, to disclose a century hence the current state of some of our civilization's discontents, including the ability to be convinced that one is telling the truth even when one is lying." |
Stanley Kauffmann |
Tomato |
Carandiru (2004) |
"Babenco has fashioned his film without polemic intent but with all the art at his command, which is considerable." |

The Celluloid Closet (1996) |
"It's interesting to see how gay and lesbian themes began to be treated openly in films, but it's fascinating to see how -- earlier -- those themes were used subtextually in films that make no overt reference to the real subject." |

Splat |
La Ceremonie (1996) |
"Besides the unconvincing shift of psychic gears, the picture has no theme, no resonance, no point." |

Changeling (2008) |
"[I]t is not enough to declare such improbable material historically accurate and leave it at that. It is Eastwood's burden to make it feel true... and in this, Changeling is a singular failure." |

Tomato |
Chaos (2003) |
"The picture holds us, not only through our wonderment at the mixture but through Serreau's dexterity and her casting." |

Tomato |
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"[Philip Seymour Hoffman's] rumpled, cranky spy is hilarious--George Smiley by way of Jack Black--but with an edge of quiet ferocity that makes every scene he's in play a little sharper." |

Chasing Amy (1997) |

Children of the Century (2002) |

Chris & Don: A Love Story (2007) |

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) |
"Prince Caspian may be less full of innocent wonder than its predecessor, but it is a smarter, better film. Like its young stars, the Narnia franchise has, for better and worse, grown up." |
Christopher Orr |
Tomato |
Circle of Friends (1995) |
"Like an old-fashioned theater program, it tells you early on who and what each of its characters is -- and so they prove to be, enjoyably." |

Climates (2006) |
"Like all good art, it evokes a supranational affinity. And there is an unsurprising paradox: this drama of personal uncertainties is lodged in a certainty of form." |

Coffee and Cigarettes (2004) |
"The film is a series of scenes, skits, episodes, that show two or sometimes three people smoking and sipping and conversing, usually in grungy places and usually improvising -- at least that's the intended impression." |

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) |
"[T]his adaptation is really just about buying the 'brand,' and--like the retailers in the film--selling America something it already had." |

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) |
"Benjamin Button is a film of mood, not motion. At its best, it is evocative and affecting; at its worst, an exercise in sentimental portraiture." |
