2/4	" The world is not quite as nicely rainbow-hued as the film wishes it were at the end, but, if nothing else, Tru Loved makes us hope all the more that it can be one day." Posted Oct 31, 2008	Tru Loved (2008)	35%

2.5/4	" What elevates way above the merely adequate script by Sean Reycraft based on the novel by Michael Downing and Lynd's competent direction is young Noah Bernett as Scot. This kid is so great, he could give kid actors a good name again." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Breakfast with Scot (2008)	48%
2/4	" Even those who never saw Cukor's movie will feel something is missing in English's version. Yes, some of what's missing is humor and snappy dialogue, but that could be forgiven, if only some of the characters were more believable." Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Women (2008)	13%
3/4	" *Even a melodrama can be made credible in the hands of a skilled director, as Leesong Hee-Il reminds us in No Regret." Posted Aug 29, 2008*	No Regret (2008)	63%
3/4	" Some of the supporting performances, like those of Phillips and Gonzalez, are very strong, but it's West who lifts the entire film to a whole other level." Posted Aug 29, 2008	What We Do Is Secret (2008)	44%
3/4	" It's obviously not all because of her drive and determination, but we come away from Johnstone's film believing attitude may play a role in the theater of at least one woman's life." Posted Aug 22, 2008	Hats Off (2008)	43%
3/4	" Often fascinating and provocative, although, as a film, it feels a bit long and somewhat repetitive." Posted Aug 22, 2008	A Jihad for Love (2008)	75%
2/4	" *You want to like almost everyone in this film, but they're all undone by a weak script that really wasn't worth more than a Gilmore Girls* subplot after all.*" Posted Aug 20, 2008*	The Rocker (2008)	39%
3/4	" Before I Forget is a film one can admire, but it is not 'likable,' per se, nor does its director wish it to be." Posted Aug 1, 2008	Before I Forget (2008)	89%
4/4	" *Luc�a Puenzo's XXY* is as finely crafted as a great work of literature.*" Posted Aug 1, 2008*	XXY (2008)	79%
2.5/4	" A very noble movie, which makes it interesting at times, but not often enough." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	64%
2/4	" *With a subject like Roman Polanski, you don't really need to do much to capture audience interest. But maybe that's the reason Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired* doesn't live up to its promise.*" Posted Jul 25, 2008*	Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)	87%
1/4	Click here to read article Posted Jul 22, 2008	Kuaile Gongchang (2007)	n/a
4/4	" *Santi and Mascara are right to call their film A Love Story, because this is the portrait of a marriage as full and enviable as the greatest unions in literature." Posted Jul 18, 2008*	Chris & Don: A Love Story (2007)	94%
4/4	" The film is both delightful and informative at every turn." Posted Jun 25, 2008	All In This Tea (2008)	82%
3/4	" As dark as these themes seem, in Honor�'s capable hands, they become almost frothy and the perfect elements for a surprisingly joyous musical." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Love Songs (2008)	67%
2.5/4	" When you've got three of the nation's best actresses in leading roles, it doesn't matter if your script is only adequate and the audience really has to squint here and there to believe what's happening on the screen." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Bonneville (2006)	41%
3/4	" Shelter rises very high indeed, thanks to a superb performance by Trevor Wright in the lead role, a strong supporting cast, very good cinematography and, most of all, emotional authenticity." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Shelter (2008)	53%
3/4	" The film overflows with displays of explosive dancing and does a superb job showing the form's incredible complexity and technical diversity." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Planet B-Boy (2008)	89%
4/4	" For some of the way, it seems like a kind of skateboard whodunit. Soon enough, we understand it's much more than that. And by then, we know we're in for a ride to remember." Posted Mar 14, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
3/4	" *The moral conundrum at the heart of Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky's The Counterfeiters* is worthy of Kafka or Dostoevsky.*" Posted Feb 29, 2008*	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
2/4	" Those waiting for the arrival of the next Juno may want to skip Charlie Bartlett, a relentlessly earnest teen film about a 17-year-old misfit who's been tossed out of one prep school after another for bad behavior." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
3.5/4	" The film is graced with a mostly superb cast, superior special effects, a sparkling musical score by James Horner and a fantasy-filled plot with a bit of moralizing, but, fortunately, only a bit." Posted Feb 14, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
2/4	" Some may think the metaphoric possibilities of an incurable illness that can be transmitted through sexual contact have been all but exhausted. Director Andr� T�chin� almost proves otherwise in The Witnesses, a kind of film opera without music." Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Witnesses (2008)	84%
3/4	" Teixeira elicits extraordinary performances from his entire cast." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Alice's House (2008)	90%
2/4	" How She Move isn't a great film or even a terribly well-made film, but it has its moments and, of course, it has the ending it's promised all along." Posted Jan 25, 2008	How She Move (2008)	67%
2/4	" In the end, you will believe the film's talking heads, but, more than likely, what they say may still make little logical sense to you." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Steep (2007)	51%
1/4	" This is a movie that will leave you stunned and stupefied from beginning to end, if you don't head for the exits first." Posted Dec 21, 2007	P.S. I Love You (2007)	21%
1/4	" Give me a bit of the old ultraviolence any day. Just make me care about it." Posted Dec 14, 2007	Outlaw (2007)	22%
4/4	" Juno isn't a film made in the bell jar of unlikely reality that is, far too often, Hollywood: It's a film whose attention to real-life detail is so fine, audiences will be hopelessly and happily lost in its story from the first frame." Posted Dec 14, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
2/4	" *Despite the flabby direction and uninspired plot, The Perfect Holiday* almost works because Chestnut and Union are an attractive couple and you want them to get together.*" Posted Dec 12, 2007*	The Perfect Holiday (2007)	17%
2/4	" *For its first 45 minutes or so, and intermittently thereafter, Michael Schroeder's Man in the Chair* feels, annoyingly, like a film school project.*" Posted Dec 7, 2007*	Man in the Chair (2007)	50%
2/4	" The film is too short because the characters just aren't sufficiently developed, but even at a scant 90 minutes, it feels way too long." Posted Nov 30, 2007	Undoing (2007)	29%
3/4	" Often gripping and ultimately poignant" Posted Nov 24, 2007	Midnight Eagle (2007)	31%
3/4	" Written by Reilly and Paul Linke, the film is both revealing and evasive. You want to know more about his personal life than you ever find out." Posted Nov 16, 2007	Life of Reilly (2007)	100%
3.5/4	" The truths of [the subject's] life, no matter how unbelievable they may seem at times, make him almost heroic and the film almost perfect." Posted Oct 26, 2007	The Monastery: Mr. Vig & the Nun (2006)	78%
3/4	" A very funny, equal-opportunity broadside that targets Asian stereotyping, and not just by non-Asians." Posted Oct 19, 2007	Finishing the Game (2007)	35%
3/4	" For the Bible Tells Me So doesn't follow the formula. That's just one of the reasons it works well as a film and a lesson about, as one open-minded preacher puts it, what the Bible "reads" about what it supposedly "says" about homosexuality." Posted Oct 12, 2007	For the Bible Tells Me So (2007)	98%
3/4	" Bhukya delivers an entrancing and natural performance, deftly balancing both the wide-eyed childishness of a young girl with the dawning awareness of life's darker possibilities." Posted Oct 5, 2007	Vanaja (2007)	80%
1/4	" The film isn't very interesting because it isn't well made." Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Last Winter (2007)	79%
3.5/4	" Ira & Abby is a comedy of errors that makes very few along the way." Posted Sep 28, 2007	Ira & Abby (2007)	67%
3/4	" The kind of film people call 'uplifting,' and while it is that much of the way, there are times when it's so oversaturated with sweetness and light, it's likely to uplift more cynical viewers from their seats in the movie theater. No matter." Posted Sep 21, 2007	December Boys (2007)	42%
2/4	" The movie's spectacular scenery and compelling message counterbalance the somewhat plodding pace and wooden performances by a cast of nonactors." Posted Sep 21, 2007	Milarepa (2007)	37%
3/4	" With Delirious, writer-director Tom DiCillo has crafted a wonderfully giddy meditation on the nature of fame, the people who sell it and those doing the buying, and their mutually parasitic dependence on each other." Posted Sep 14, 2007	Delirious (2007)	85%
2/4	" Chalk is a gentle mockumentary about high school teachers -- so gentle, you wonder why anyone bothered. So gentle, it verges on 'what's the point?'" Posted Sep 7, 2007	Chalk (2007)	79%
3/4	" God is in the details for director Eytan Fox, and it doesn't matter whether that God happens to be worshiped by Israelis or Palestinians." Posted Sep 7, 2007	The Bubble (2007)	56%
2.5/4	" The performances are fairly static, but Lim and Leow are charming enough to hold our attention." Posted Aug 31, 2007	Cut Sleeve Boys (2006)	45%
2/4	" The film would have worked better if it had stuck more closely to real estate as both the source and target of the satire." Posted Aug 24, 2007	Closing Escrow (2007)	54%
2/4	" *For much of the way, These Foolish Things* not only drips with catty dialogue, it fairly overflows, so much so that you half wonder if it's meant to be a satire. Alas, no.*" Posted Aug 17, 2007*	These Foolish Things (2006)	n/a
