[movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      About Schmidt (2002)      "While About Schmidt features Jack Nicholson's most impressively controlled performance in many years, the film's mix of bleakness and cheap laughs has to be seen as a disappointment after the sharp satire and moral complexity of Election." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      American Experience - Daughter from Danang (2002)      "A moving and troubling documentary." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      The Aristocrats (2005)      "...the brilliant Sarah Silverman transcends the mean-spirited nature of the joke..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Audition (2001)      "For those who can stomach its gory denouement, it's a disturbing cinematic experience that they won't soon forget." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Biggie and Tupac (2002)      "Broomfield has taken this intriguing and sad tale, and made a compelling film that should be of interest to nearly anyone, regardless of his or her interest in rap music." [movie review]      Black Star News       8/10      Blind Flight (2003)      "It's not a docudrama, so much as an intimate, psychologically acute tone poem..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide            Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary (2003)      "The film does illuminate its subject, which is not Hitler himself, who remains a fairly unfathomable figure, but Traudl Junge." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      Blissfully Yours (2004)      "Weerasethakul films the lost couple with such aching tenderness that the effect is not titillating, but profoundly moving." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Bloody Sunday (2002)      "'...the film’s considered approach to its subject matter is too calm and thoughtful for agitprop, and the thinness of its characterizations makes it a failure as straight drama.'" [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Blue Steel (1990)      "The film gets very silly at times, particularly during the unnaturally attenuated final showdown between Megan and Eugene, but it's still enjoyable." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Brothers of the Head (2006)      "...despite outlandish subject matter that might lend itself to something more lurid or camp, it treats its characters and their story with refreshing restraint and seriousness." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Bubble Boy (2001)      "The film is only sporadically funny, and it's frequently in poor taste, but it's got energy to spare, and Gyllenhaal's performance gives it a soul." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Bungalow (2002)      "A laconically amusing deadpan comedy with an undercurrent of anger and despair that lends it an edge." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      Burden of Dreams (1982)      "A fascinating portrait of a filmmaker pushed to the outer edge of sanity..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Caterina in the Big City (2005)      "...a funny, affecting, and intricate comedy that continually surprises and gets better as it goes along." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Cautiva (2005)      "A finely wrought coming-of-age drama that crackles with political tension..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Cavedweller (2004)      "Sharply focused performances...and the true grit of Allison's tale of pain and resilience keep the film from veering into Lifetime movie territory." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Cavite (2006)      "...there's...a certain unseemliness to the endeavor that is difficult to dismiss." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Cinemania (2003)      "Cinemania might have been a more edifying experience if it really delved into the roots of this obsession." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      City of God (2003)      "Flies at the audience like it was shot out of a cannon ... but has its own unique soulfulness as it explores a vortex of intense poverty and violence ..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)      "While the collection of vignettes offers a few great pleasures, in the context of Jim Jarmusch's oeuvre, it is slight." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Color Me Kubrick (2007)      "put forth with...an unapologetic sense of depraved fun..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      The Corporation (2004)      "...engaging in the best sense of the word." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      Crimson Gold (2004)      "The film's sociopolitical themes are all the more powerful for being subtly expressed through a starkly realistic tale." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Czech Dream (2007)      "However funny and trenchant it is in its critique of the forces that create and encourage rampant consumerism, the final joke is aimed squarely at the end user." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Day of the Wacko (2002)      "An uneven and downbeat blend of lowbrow humor, literary character drama, and crude sociopolitical satire..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Dead Man's Shoes (2006)      "...it's hard to imagine the film without Considine's amazing work." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Deathdream (1972)      "Like the best genre films, Deathdream offers an interesting glimpse of the American psyche during the time it was made." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Demi-Tarif (2003)      "...a uniquely unmediated look into the world of childhood." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Distant (2004)      "The tale has a deceptive, emotional complexity that builds to a surprisingly heartrending impact." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Divine Intervention (2003)      "A mordantly amusing black comedy about life among the Arab citizens of Israel." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Doppelganger (2003)      "Koji Yakusho delivers a wonderfully droll dual performance, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa uses split-screen effects brilliantly." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Drumline (2002)      "Pretty formulaic stuff...but the specific setting...sets it apart." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Duelist (2005)      "...its most salient feature is its spectacular visuals." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      The Education of Sonny Carson (1974)      "There's such a wealth of genuine anger and sadness underlying the film that it transcends [its] flaws." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Ek Hasina Thi (2004)      "Ek Hasina Thi is not quite the revelation that its champions would like to think it is, but for the most part, it hits its marks." [movie review]      All Movie Guide            El Bola (2000)      "A simple, but gritty and well-acted ensemble drama that encompasses a potent metaphor for a country still dealing with its fascist past." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       10/10      Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)      "Capturing the joys and pains of romantic obsession as few filmmakers have before, Gondry and Kaufman have come up with a masterpiece." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Everyday People (2004)      "Although ambitious...Everyday People is a disappointing step backwards for the filmmaker." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      The Firm (1988)      "Clarke's specialties are anger and violence, and he captures them with a brutal precision that belies the inherent messiness of the action." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Girlhood (2003)      "Girlhood thoughtfully questions not just the system itself, but our unfair assumptions about the young people caught within it." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      The Good Girl (2002)      "The film is very funny at times, and it takes some surprising turns, but it's also slow-paced and glum... A fine feel-bad comedy." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Gozu (2004)      "Miike has a knack for tapping into deep-seated cultural anxieties-- particularly male sexual anxiety--that few filmmakers can match." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Happy Here and Now (2002)      "The film transcends what occasionally seems to be oddness for its own sake." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      A Hole In One (2004)      "...from the opening titles, with their jangling ice-pick imagery, the film builds an appropriate sense of needling uneasiness..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      The Holy Girl (2005)      "...at once humane, encompassing every shade of gray, and bracingly cold-eyed in its assessment of human endeavor." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Hotel Rwanda (2004)      "...disappointingly conventional [but] an important film nevertheless..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Hum Tum (2004)      "While it's sweetly romantic, Hum Tum gratifyingly avoids melodrama." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)      "...continually thwarts genre expectations with its somber, thoughtful treatment of the brutal subject matter." [movie review]      All Movie Guide
