3/5
     (2003)      "Actor Ramos brings an extraordinary intensity and focus to this contradictory role, changing emotions and actions on a dime." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (1962)      "Even some 40 years after it was made, Mafioso packs heat." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
2.5/5
     (1966)      "Waiting for More's breaking point provides the only thread of suspense." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.45/5
     (2008)      "Warning: this film will produce vertigo." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2004)      "Writer/director Joshua Marston has created an almost Dickensian tale with a refreshingly empathetic protagonist." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
2/5
     (2006)      "The film deflates the reason why she is a compelling figure, if at all. Her courage during her confinement, %u2026 and her ultimate death made her an honorary member of the Dead Blonde Hall of Fame. Her victimization made her an icon." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2008)      "[Pierce] Brosnan, by the way, should be happy to have left the bonds of being Bond if he continues picking roles this wisely." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
'2.75/5'
     (2005)      "proudly quirky and optimistic" [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "Instead of shock, the effect [director] Estes successfully achieves is empathy." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
2.5/5
     (2007)      "Filmed during the first year of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, Meeting Resistance suffers from the same problem as the Iraq-set feature film The Situation %u2013 timeliness." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
'3/5'
     (2005)      "Belgium viewers of this crime thriller would have undoubtedly been reminded of serial killer Marc Dutroux." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2009)      "A charmer that's a sleeper in the making" [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (1978)      "Director Alan Parker's right. His 1978 riveting prison drama still holds up." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3/5
     (2007)      "Hollywood's biggest star of the moment and weekly tabloid cover girl doesn't overwhelm the film adaptation of Mariane Pearl's biography." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
2/5
     (2008)      "The film substitutes speed for camaraderie and cleverness." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "The film's sly charms sneak up on you, if the beautiful and frequently breathtaking vistas of the wind-swept steppes haven't gotten to you first." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
2.75/5
     (2004)      "[Pierre] Boulanger joins Keisha Castle-Hughes of Whale Rider as one of this year's strongest juvenile performers." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "Rousing without preaching, this is an effortlessly compelling story that doesn’t resort to graphic violence." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2004)      "Cold, caustic, polite, and understated, The Mother is undeniably British." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
2/5
     (2004)      "Overall the film is like a series of pretty postcards with poor people - Masterpiece Theatre for Marxists - offering little in political insight." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
'3.5/5'
     (2005)      "In one shot, the directors may have inadvertently made the year's most political film." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.50/5
     (2002)      "Sylvie Testud is nothing less than ferocious...Even in her stillness, she’s compelling." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "Startlingly, the film embraces male friendship without any sign of a wink or a nod to gay panic." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
2.5/5
     (2006)      "If the political backdrop is not alienating, Accio's actions might be. As he swings from one side of the pendulum to the other, he remains at arm's length" [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "My Kid Could Paint That is a welcome return to ambiguity in the documentary, while posing perhaps the year's most intriguing mystery." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3/5
     (2005)      "Bellocchio famously took on the Catholic Church and the Italian family in his frenetic first film ... Now 40 years later, Bellocchio's attack on the same institutions is calmer and more temperate." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
'3.5/5'
     (2005)      "What begins as a boozy and desultory love affair winds down to a powerful and suspenseful finish." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3/5
     (2008)      "Poignancy might be the last thing you'd expect from this film" [movie review]      Film-Forward.com   
  
3/5
     (2005)      "Mysterious Skin makes Midnight Cowboy look tame in comparison." [movie review]      Film-Forward.com
