Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Something old (cinema verite), something new (combo Buddhist-African matrimonial ambiance), something borrowed (Robert Altman) and something blue (the whole family). The Devil Wears Bridesmaid Garb." |

Rails & Ties (2007) |
"The way Kevin Bacon's brittle heart softens as he finally gets it, about his wife's fearlessness in facing down death, adds to what is shaping up as a big year, following Benicio Del Toro, for Oscar worthy, sensitive surrogate family man role models." |

The Reader (2008) |
"Underage desire converges with perverse passions of the political sort, where in the case of one's country, love is basically blind. A remarkably brilliant and subversive guilt by erotic association thriller." |

Redbelt (2008) |
"Aside from the fact that it's never a good sign when a keen interest in a particular sport dominating a movie is a must, we've seen this tale of the virtuous gladiator encircled by ruthless, greedy wolves in countless such sports movies before." |

Reindeer Games (2000) |
"At its worst Reindeer Games is far-fetched, but if you suspend disbelief and just go along for the freaky ride, this noirish trucker tall-tale isn't half bad." |

Returning Mickey Stern (2005) |
"There's a sort of magical realism, but in the vein of a low-budget Big or Groundhog Day, rather than Luis Buñuel and Jan Svankmajer." |

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003) |
"The filmmakers, simply forgotten in the dramatic rush of events, capture the anatomy of a coup as it crystallized and unraveled, and history nearly recorded itself." |

Revolutionary Road (2008) |

Righteous Kill (2008) |
"Equally gritty old school crime thriller and flashy seductive post-modern whodunit noir, along with De Niro's off the job kinky rough sex lover forensic babe (Carla Gugino) who likes him to role play criminals in bed, Righteous Kill delivers the goods." |
