Composed of relatively few events and scenes, it's often excruciatingly tense and never less than heartbreakingly human. And as much as I admire "Munich," Shadows leaves Spielberg's film in the dust in the moral-ambiguity department. Never before seen in the States, it's already on my year's ten-best list. (April 2006 Premiere) -

This intense film, a mix of horror, fantasy, and history that convinces on all those levels and mixes them up with dizzying brio, is a searing cinematic experience, a beautiful, terrifying vision from writer-director Guillermo del Toro. -

A remarkably engrossing and thoughtful picture, beautifully rendered in an artful mode of realism. -

The slapstick-comic set pieces involving Remy and Linguini's cooking struggles might solicit the admiration of Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati. -

Burnett creates an insistently poetic, devastatingly ironic world and work. -

Every performance here is wonderful, and the movie abounds in moments so true as to be cringe-worthy. -

Glenn Kenny 100
A phantasmagorical slab of epic entertainment that satisfies on every conceivable level. -

Glenn Kenny 100
Every performer in the international cast -- Seigner, de Bankole, von Sydow (magnificent as Bauby's father), and the late Jean-Pierre Cassel to name but a few -- completely disappears into each of their roles, which I think is as much a testament to Schnabel's talents as to theirs. -

There Will Be Blood is, in fact, not a historical saga; rather, it's an absurdist, blackly comic horror film with a very idiosyncratic satanic figure at its core. -

As stomach-churning a suspense exercise as the cinema has seen since the salad days of Hitchcock. -

I don't think we're going to see a better--a funnier or more genuinely heartwarming, for that matter--comedy this year. -

Yep, this movie is basically a yakfest, but an incredibly fluid and involving one, and if you have any kind of affinity for either of the characters, you’re bound to find the picture a kind of miracle. -

While avoiding specious bromides about universality, Persepolis insists on communicating with its audience, and insists that communication and empathy are the keys to our survival. -

Glenn Kenny 100
This is one of the year's most subtly moving films, and a strong affirmation of Coppola's substantial talent. -

von Donnersmarck delivers something extraordinary and rare: a thriller that's entirely adult in both its concerns and perspective which manages to be as thoroughly gripping as any finely tuned albeit adolescent Hollywood nail-biter. -

All told, while the goods that Daggers offers are choice, the movie ultimately demonstrates that too much can be, well, more than enough. -
-
-
Glenn Kenny 100
A wildly imaginative, hugely entertaining tour de force that asks big questions about life and love and fate while never ceasing to fully engage the viewer. -

Catherine Keener is remarkably subtle and soulful as Capote's friend and helpmeet Harper Lee, who delivers a shocking verdict against him at the end, but the movie, as you probably will not be surprised to learn, is owned by Philip Seymour Hoffman. -

Glenn Kenny 100
For all its seeming simplicity, this is an emotionally and intellectually complex film that holds the viewer in a grip as tight as any classic thriller you can name. -

This is more than just the best animated comedy of the year--it's the best comedy of the year, period. -

Lee and company handle the particulars of the tale with the requisite meticulousness and exquisite taste that marks all the director's films. -

Herzog not only tells an incredible story but implies a dark metaphysic of the natural world that makes this film unsettlingly larger than its human subject. -
-
-
Glenn Kenny 100
A remarkably appealing success story full of heart and humor and poignancy, with Swank as winning as she’s ever been. -

A triumphant revisiting of territory in which Scorsese is an unchallenged master -- the crime drama. -

This is not a children's picture, although it touches on the imaginative powers and emotional resilience of children. It's another slice of Hou's distinctly poetic realism, and as such, also a kind of tribute to Paris -- the Paris of both today and of the older film. -

Most thrillers of this ilk have no qualms about going past the 120-minute mark, but I think Greengrass and company understood that overdoing it would turn mass excitement into massive headache. -

I generally resist calling any actor's work "brave" or "fearless" or any such thing, but Bosco's work here made me reconsider that self-imposed ban. It's incredible, harrowing, precise stuff. -

The masterly Panahi concocts a spellbinding, often corrosively and/or warmly funny story in which love of both country and sport tries to, but doesn't quite, transcend dogmatic and ingrained difference. -
