Tomato 3/4 |
Face Off (1997) |
"Travolta and Cage then had the acting difficulty of adopting the other person's mannerisms while retaining their own voice and body. There are both superb at it..." |

A Family Affair (2003) |
"Lesnick, who over exaggerates her every facial gesture like a stand-up comic, would have benefited from having a director other than herself." |

Farinelli: Il Castrato (1994) |

The Fast Runner (2002) |
