"Deceptively, it goes down in a flash, easy and breezy, but its complexity, optimism and joie de cinema linger."

"The Darjeeling Limited is, thankfully, a movie about learning to stop feeling sorry for yourself, not about the satisfaction of wallowing in one's own misery (proving that Anderson is a hipster only deceptively.)"

"It plays for the heart, for the guts, in order to distract the head from the questionable politics it promotes--namely, fascism."

"If anything, [the film] is a deromanticization of suicide bombing, at least its preparatory aspects, exposing them [as] relentlessly repetitive and banal, although the film manages to make them more absorbing than they have any right to be."

"An unapologetically unromantic and downright cynical view of both war and soldierhood (no magnetic yellow ribbons here), Deathwatch...looks like an vehement counterpoint to the era's dominant strain of Anglo-American sisboombah warmongering."

"A news magazine piece, though with more prurient details than the FCC would ever permit, that merely parades repulsions around without ever directly confronting a sick and twisted man."

"More than just a standard portrait of the artist, it's a portrait of an artist gone sincerely insane, and of the toll that the madness takes on those around him, without the romanticism history usually affords the tales of such deranged men of talent"

"Because District 9 packs some social-issues seriousness into its sci-fi wackiness, I'm tempted to hold it to a higher standard than it could live up to; the movie is superlative popcorn fare, but disappointing Cinema..."

"The story's joints creak under gutsy narrative demands, but Gilroy's serviceable direction manages to keep the scriptopuzzle together. The film's pleasures derive from watching him get away with it."
